"A man's mind may be likened to a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild; but whether cultivated or neglected, it must, and will, bring forth. If no useful seeds are put into it, then an abundance of useless weed seeds will fall therein, and will continue to produce their kind." — James Allen

“to great artists there was no such thing as a small part and to small artists there were no big parts.” ― Claude M. Bristol

"You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you." — James Allen

When you're seeing how you're being and who you're being is not who you are, you'll change it in an instant.

"Cherish your visions. Cherish your ideals. Cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts. For out of them will grow all delightful conditions, all heavenly environment, of these, if you but remain true to them, your world will at last be built." — James Allen

The Red Light

These thoughts make me dizzy
Dirt roads beneath my feet
I turned my eyes towards the sky
With only myself left to meet

Around Life's merry go round we go
Until you decide to rest easy
You will be what you will to be
Heavy and still or light and breezy

Faith whispered in my ear
There is more to come
Conquer space and time
Start having more fun

There's a belly full of life
There is a haunted dream
My hunger for it all
Makes me walk the balance beam

Lay me out in moonlight
Let me aim at the darkness
The night wants my desire
Gravity hangs it's sign on all of this

Come September
a divine time
I'll become an architect
And build the dream inside my mind

My magic heart
Beating so fast
Time can seem so fragile
Like a looking glass

-B.D.W.

The glance has been so much abused in love romances that it has finally fallen into disrepute. One hardly dares to say, nowadays, that two beings fell in love because they looked at each other. That is the way people do fall in love, nevertheless, and the only way. The rest is nothing, but the rest comes afterwards. Nothing is more real than these great shocks which two souls convey to each other by the exchange of that spark. — Victor Hugo

from time to time, there’s a rise among human beings, people, who seem to exude love, as naturally as the sun gives out heat. — The Spectrum of Love; Alan Watts

‘I love her madly in my own way… but she scares me to death. She is much older than I am in terms of street wisdom; sometimes she seems as ancient as dirt, and yet other times she’s so like a little girl.“ - Tom Waits

Syntax of Things

Having this all to myself 

Gaining faith losing control 

Makes me feel so alive 

I'm shiny enough to be sold

Wanting to say things

Blue, then grey, now white

Never to be quiet 

buzzing with the blindness of night

Beneath this unknown sky
Wandering to a perfect beat

Reinventing your name

With a past that can't repeat 

Like an empty altar

No angel in sight 

Just our telepathic connection 

Beckon dear so I can see your light

Wanting to be found 

so much to look at

Electric and so alone

Roaming like a stray cat

A gauzy apparition 

towering over my dreams

This energy catches me 

 I'm deciphering what it means

Transparent desire

Offering no resistance 

This is meant to be

And everything admits this

-B.D.W.

I am in favor of preserving the French habit of kissing ladies' hands — after all, one must start somewhere. ~Sacha Guitry

Love and Rockets Deep Deep Down

Johnny Cash - I Love You, Love you

Oh you're in my blood like holy wine ... You taste so bitter and so sweet... Oh I could drink a case of you darlin, Still I'd be on my feet, oh I would still be on my feet... Oh I am a lonely painter, I live in a box of paints, I'm frightened by the devil, And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid... Joni Mitchell

Do your thing and don't care if they like it.

Time for a trip...
