you'll be alone with gods

if you’re going to try, go all the

way.

otherwise, don’t even start.

if you’re going to try, go all the

way. this could mean losing girlfriends,

wives, relatives, jobs and

maybe your mind.

go all the way.

it could mean not eating for 3 or

4 days.

it could mean freezing on a

park bench.

it could mean jail,

it could mean derision,

mockery,

isolation.

isolation is the gift,

all the others are a test of your

endurance, of

how much you really want to

do it.

and you’ll do it

despite rejection and the

worst odds

and it will be better than

anything else

you can imagine.

if you’re going to try,

go all the way.

there is no other feeling like

that.

you will be alone with the

gods

and the nights will flame with

fire.

do it, do it, do it.

do it.

all the way

all the way.

you will ride life straight to

perfect laughter,

it’s the only good fight

there is.

Roll the Dice - Charles Bukowski

Live the life you've imagined

"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined. As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler."

Henry David Thoreau

Be a dreamer

"Be someone who inspires the people around you. By the way you live your life, and the way you treat others. Stay focused on your future and be willing to give all that you are to make your dreams come true. Encourage others, and support them with your strong beliefs. Be a motivated person who takes chances, when they present themselves. Don't wait or worry about tomorrow; just keep focused on what's happening today. Be someone who looks forward to challenges and fully accepts both the joys and struggles, that come to someone who dreams."

Deanna Beisser

Because I am living a life full of you

I don't know why it works this way

But with your mind

There’s a dream that I see, I pray it can be

Look cross the land, shake this land

A wish or a command

I Dream that I see, don’t kill it, it’s free

You’re just a man, you get what you can

We all do what we can

So we can do just one more thing

We can all be free

Maybe not in words

Maybe not with a look

But with your mind

Listen to me, don’t walk that street

There’s always an end to it

Come and be free, you know who I am

We’re just living people

We won’t have a thing

So we’ve got nothing to lose

We can all be free

Maybe not with words

Maybe not with a look

But with your mind

You’ve got to choose a wish or command

At the turn of the tide, is withering thee

Remember one thing, the dream you can see

Pray to be, shake this land

We all do what we can

So we can do just one more thing

We won’t have a thing

So we’ve got nothing to lose

We can all be free

Maybe not with words

Maybe not with a look

But with your mind

But with your mind

The freedom of the mind & [painting with light]

the tyranny of 

trying to know

everything takes

over the freedom

of the mind

to find its own

course knowing

more about less

endless long standing

let's end all violence

farewell to thee

stop when I grin (?)

are we fainting off

the tendrils that

siren and there

my mate and me

pull me out

pull me out alive

pull me out

pull me out alive

o take me to

cities where all

the hot spots are

inform the institutions

from the defunct

soviet union

when every arrow

will be defined as

post war to be

a bomb college course

but if the universe

is written in a breeze

you will

pull me out

pull me out alive

pull me out

pull me out alive
