I am stoned. just before high noon, the first high noon of 2012. I am thinking about what things I would like to change in 2012, or do things I never did in 2011. What would those things look like. One thing I am most certain of. It is the year of introspection and exploration. It is a year of really delving into spirituality. Not being scared of what others would think of me if I got into Tibetan Buddhist Meditation on the heavy.
I didn’t really make any art this last year. I need to change that too. I need to read more books. I get into a great headspace when I am consistently reading be it fiction or non-fiction. I wonder what that’s about. Why is my head clearer and calmer and my spirit more full when I am reading a book. I guess it’s escapism of sorts. Maybe an internal outer body experience. Maybe it means that I need more stimulation than I think, or more time off from the real world in order to come back and be fully committed to living it.
I have dreams that are outside of my reality. Not much different, mostly including more gardening, sunshine, plants, animals, food, hikes and walks, getting stoned on peyote, smiling a lot more. I am slowly shedding this old codger bullshit I like to think I own. Every day that passes by I realize I am a stone cold hippie. In all kinds of ways. From liking, in fact, scratch that, LOVING the smell of patchouli to believing that all we need is love. Even the terrible people on the planet, it’s usually a lack of love that creates wars, crimes…it could all be linked to lack or or surplus of love.
See what I mean about the hippie thing? 2012: Year of the Hippie. I think I just made a pact to not cut my hair til 2015. Yes, I just did.
Blessed be your day. Make art, love, friends and music.
