hope for peace

Years before anyone had heard of Barack Obama, the HOPE banner was hanging on the outside of my house, facing the church parking lot next door. Those people really need some hope. I believe getting this image into the psychic consciousness of the planet laid the groundwork for Obama’s original presidential campaign and Shepard Fairey’s famous poster honoring him. I am proud to have gotten the psychic ball rolling.

Merging the peace symbol with the word "hope" is a perfect combination, understood at a level where the verbal and non-verbal realms unite ~ it is an image of deep and honest emotion. The color of hope is spring green, light and fresh, and the green HOPE t-shirt is the most successful. It affects women with a magnetic force from across a room, melting their defenses and releasing their truth. The greens, the HOPE, and the peace symbol combine to create a magical and transcendental portal to the center of the heart.

As graffiti, HOPE has never received a cross word. Not even from Christians (whose arrogance has no use for the future). HOPE has been an image cherished far and wide. It works well on traffic signs that have an abundance of directional arrows. It makes me cry inside to see it placed in the most impoverished parts of the city (most soldiers are recruited from the populations of the poor). Recently, even Republicans have requested it for their front yards. Never underestimate the power of hope.

After GREAT MINDS, HOPE remains the most popular image of the (PEACE) WORDS series. After all these years, it continues to spring eternal.

Architectural Intuitive ~ a psychic who specializes in the spiritual problems of buildings. Ghost busting, energy clearing, and remote feng shui are regular issues with which an architectural intuitive deals. He may also be a healer (energy clearing is a form of healing) and balancing the spiritual energy (charkas and auras) of the home is as important as it is for the body. An architectural intuitive should be consulted for any major house problems, spiritual imbalances, remodels, or commercial interests. The spiritual precedes the physical in all matters. blessthebody.com Spiritual Remedies are excellent for simple, architectural self-healing. See Spiritual
Remedies.

i write therefore i am The lovechild of Dr Seuss and Philip Glass is a Zen master named, i write therefore i am. Or, i am not. This chapbook is a hall of mirrors which reflects more reality than fantastic or fractured distortion. It is a writer’s handbook on why we write; two poems about the soul of poetry. It is music and psychoanalysis and a string of epiphanies knotted like a cat’s cradle. Hypnotic, dizzying… the book is a "must read" for any writer and any reader who considers literature an essential part of life. blog about language poetry $9.99  purchase book from publisher

Alternative Healing / Alternative Medicine ~ medical remediation outside the cult of conventional medicine. This is also known as "natural healing", "complementary healing" (if done in conjunction with conventional medicine), or "holistic healing" and aspects of alternative medicine are known as "spiritual healing" and "vibrational healing". Many of these terms are explained further here.

Modalities used in alternative medicine range from the very physical (eg: intraveneous drips/intramuscular injections, chiropractic/osteopathic adjustment, massage) to the very spiritual or etheric (eg: homeopathics, prayer/meditation, hands-on healing, distant or remote healing). Much of alternative medicine is known as "traditional medicine" (eg: herbs, poltices) and most aspects have been or remain illegal in the United States due to political/economic agendas.

An aspect of alternative medicine newly appropriated by the conventional medical community is the idea of "wellness" where patients are treated to prevent serious problems instead of waiting for the serious problem to develop. "Wellness" is a holistic approach to healthcare not understood by the pharmaceutical aspect of conventional medicine. See Wellness.

libretti lumi Lyrical and deeply resonant, this book of post-modernist poetry explores the dynamics of inter-personal relationships and communication. Built on classical forms, the work draws a direct line from the modern avant garde back through colonial and medieval literature to ancient Rome and Greece. In many ways, it is a summation of the long tradition of literature in the Western world. But don’t let that intimidate you. libretti lumi is a simple and personal account of the effects of love. You will find yourself and your relationships in this book ~the title implies the epiphany you will have when reading it. Non-narrative in format, libretti lumi is the cycles of poetry for two operas. Actually, it is one cantata (a pre-cursor form to opera) and one opera. It is also thoroughly modern and accessible.

Toying with the game between science and spirituality, libretti lumi sheds light on the inner garden from which both science and spirituality spring. It is a book of emotions rationally explored.

The poetry itself is clean and spare, the style is straightforward. While referencing classical forms, there are no overt classical allusions in the work ~you do not need a PhD in literature to read this book. You just need a heart and soul.
