What exactly is common sense? It is technically defined as a good sense and sound judgment in practical matters. Technically, the trickiest kind of yes. This perception comes in where the reality changes. The meaning of common sense begins to change. It becomes based on a social norm standard rather an individual reality. Lines andContinue reading “Common Sense…”

Desire to Live
If your desire to live is slim. You’ll live your life on a wim. Take each day and hold it anew. That’s what humans are supposed to do. Time is a river sometimes it rushes, but it always flows. Resulting in various things we come to know. Don’t take that for granted or live withContinue reading “Desire to Live”
The Gold of True Courage
“Nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up. This is the trick. This is what all these teachers and philosophers who really counted, who really touched the alchemicalContinue reading “The Gold of True Courage”

The Internal Tools of Life
Time and events being continuity for us. Experience and feeling that is a plus. Thoughts control our every moment in the now. We use these said tools to figure things out somehow. The ways to make it through each day. Looking for the expression known as being happy. Another thing we can actually control. ForContinue reading “The Internal Tools of Life”
Magic hour moments…
Blastoff…
The change happens quick. Back and forth like a limerick. As music and rhyme combine. Melodies flow, fast and slow. Soothsaying to the largest degree. Even if the voice moves at spitfire speeds. A new way to hear. A new way to think. With every breaking swoon and ache. In a whirlwind of ways. FloatingContinue reading “Blastoff…”
Ties of Life…
You are, therefore I am. I am, therefore you are… ~Random Pillow Thought~ “Ambition means tying your well-being to what other people say or do. Self-indulgence means tying it to the things that happen to you. Sanity means tying it to your own actions.” ~ Marcus Aurelius
Endings and Revivals (Electric Icarus Project Playlist)
Been a moment since I did a concept playlist for the Electric Icarus Project. Concept of this one is Life, Death, Afterlife, and the In-between. As usual this is a collaborative playlist. Feel free to add to the theme. It’s a wide mix of genre so nothing is taboo.
Celestial Ghost Algorithms
Written in stone long ago. Even Mayans tried to show it so. The satellites that naturally circle. Ones before satellites embedded with gold and purple. They bear messages of any new dawn. Sending in a code for man to spawn. Worlds, ideas, plans of sorts. To further holding down those mankind forts. This game isContinue reading “Celestial Ghost Algorithms”
Pattern Sequence of Life
The sequence of consequence, a wild way to predict future events. Without a thought of the glimpse. Of what is done within a wince. Forethought coming after, once on the fence. Knowing only in the past tense. A nature of being afraid, predictably people weave this braid. Unsure how long they’ve stayed. In that worrisomeContinue reading “Pattern Sequence of Life”
Electric Icarus Project 2021 Blending Playlists…
Electric Icarus Project invitation to Blend 2021 Wrap-Up Playlists on Spotify. https://open.spotify.com/blend/taste-match/49840460d4b744ce?fallback=getapp
Upon Coming Back to Life…
Our body is a vessel. Which holds the consciousness. Consciousness, free will, and many other things fall into a metaphysical category. When physically in this vessel we call what we do living. When not aware or fully in our vessel we are metaphysical. Upon death the vessel changes. Death is where past, current, and futureContinue reading “Upon Coming Back to Life…”
Dreams of Labyrinth Proportions…
There is definitely a pattern of sorts. This is an equal amount of Chaos to oppose the balancing force. When prana is the breath of life. And the conduit is you. One becomes the vessel. That’s what us humans do. Being the definitive magical working time machine. Whether wide awake or deep in a dream.
Reasoning for Purpose…
“At dawn, when you have trouble getting out of bed, tell yourself: ‘I have to go to work – as a human being.’ What do I have to complain of, if I’m going to do what I was born for – the things I was brought into the world to do? Or is this whatContinue reading “Reasoning for Purpose…”
Pattern of Chaos
The dogma of both materialism and mechanism furmulate synchronicity. This can be seen as a way to refine the concept of material cause and effect, in order to explain things that don’t make sense within a strictly mechanistic world view. Like the crossing threads in a woven fabric, synchronicity and causality interact constantly, with chainsContinue reading “Pattern of Chaos”
Venn Diagram of The Shadows…
Hypnogogic, death embraced logic. A spill not forgotten. A mess tarnished and hardened. One too many shadows to clean at the garden’s. Not necessarily what people want to do. Still are too fickle, this part is true. And in human nature the easiest is pursued. Yet with chaos comes creation. A mothering sense of elimination.Continue reading “Venn Diagram of The Shadows…”
Babylonian Epochs {Electric Icarus Project Collaboration Playlist}
Latest playlist collaborative effort for the Electric Icarus Project. Very ambient, hope you contribute and enjoy!
Beating Sun of a hot cicada Summer…
It was a hot cicada Summer. He walked the streets among many. His life feeling much like a bummer. It took time but he realized. Life can be great despite circumstances and consequence. This year now seen with his own eyes. To come back a better man. Having done everything you needed to do. FiguringContinue reading “Beating Sun of a hot cicada Summer…”
Any Given Present…
“Don’t let your imagination be crushed by life as a whole. Don’t try to picture everything bad that could possibly happen. Stick with the situation at hand, and ask, ‘Why is this so unbearable? Why can’t I endure it?’ You’ll be embarrassed to answer. Then remind yourself that past and future have no power overContinue reading “Any Given Present…”
Strength from Within…
“There are more things to alarm us than to harm us, and we suffer more often in apprehension than reality.” ~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca “If you have assumed a character beyond your strength, you have both played a poor figure in that, and neglected one that is within your powers.” ~ Epictetus
Release of Shame…
“It is not the actions of others which trouble us (for those actions are controlled by their governing part), but rather it is our own judgments. Therefore remove those judgments and resolve to let go of your anger, and it will already be gone. How do you let go? By realizing that such actions areContinue reading “Release of Shame…”
Essence of Digestion
“For even sheep do not vomit up their grass and show to the shepherds how much they have eaten; but when they have internally digested the pasture, they produce externally wool and milk. Do you also show not your theorems to the uninstructed, but show the acts which come from their digestion.” ~ Epictetus
Tenacity with Humility
“The first step: Don’t be anxious. Nature controls it all. And before long you’ll be no one, nowhere – like Hadrian, like Augustus. The second step: Concentrate on what you have to do. Fix your eyes on it. Remind yourself that your task is to be a good human being; remind yourself what nature demandsContinue reading “Tenacity with Humility”
“Jon~zo” Journalism ~ Nature of Time, Prana, & Meditative Practices…
Time is not only strange but must be constantly kept up with. Because when X being the only measurement undoubtedly is on a constant move. The concept of time can become difficult and riddled with variables. Down to the almost unimaginable miniscule leap second. There is absolutely an existing point we call now though. Now,Continue reading ““Jon~zo” Journalism ~ Nature of Time, Prana, & Meditative Practices…”
Reckoning destiny into a Pillow
Musing faraway rapt, to reckon with now. Pondering ceaselessly with no avail. Constant brainstorming is our now. It will always be so. Love is future, pain is the past. Hope is dangerous because expectation value concept. Life is the answer here… Children, Nature, You, I, are under a watchful eye. It’s constant, yet holds noContinue reading “Reckoning destiny into a Pillow”
Inner Workings of the Opinion
“You always own the option of having no opinion. There is never any need to get worked up or to trouble your soul about things you can’t control. These things are not asking to be judged by you. Leave them alone.” ~ Marcus Aurelius
Blue Moon Groove ~ Electric Icarus Project Playlist Collaboration
Made a Blue Moon Playlist… It is collaborative so please feel free to add. Hope you enjoy!
2020 Summer of Tough
The schism that divides us must fall.For indeed it will concur all. Malice petty, enormous, or nigh. Without companionship we will die. For it’s not only about the ones we love. It resides in more than something above. It is always here and now. People just don’t realize when or how. A place where pastContinue reading “2020 Summer of Tough”
Reviews In History
Found this in my memories from a year ago. A rough day in 2020… Blank it, wipe it clean. That drunkard dream of what it seemed. Eyes stare into the distance. See no hope for resistance. The entire species lost its mind. But not of the insane kind. That would require some kind of repeat.Continue reading “Reviews In History”
A Hymn For Salvidor Dali
Pacifico used for; Disenchantment Bay, The Hubbard Glacier, & Hurricane Adrian… Departure: May 21st 2005Port: Seattle, Washington.~ MS Oosterdam ~ The one time I went West. I went about as far Northwest as a traveler can go… To get there, that was damn near a tragedy though. Hurricane Adrian rolled the seas. I remember windsContinue reading “A Hymn For Salvidor Dali”
The Epic Nightmare
With the longest days of the year behind us we move towards another new Autumn. Before the dog days of Summer are upon us I figured “Why not start the outline for inspiration on new plots to begin? Soon enough everyone will be in the throes of it, inspiring others to automatically begin thinking aContinue reading “The Epic Nightmare”
High and Low, Life Climbing…
Living life is important, remember to have some fun. The special part isn’t just what we become. It’s the journey there too, the one before we’re finally done. Though we do live each individual day under a revolving Sun. Our minds reside 2 decades into the past, like the future visiting 2001. Anything before thenContinue reading “High and Low, Life Climbing…”
