the mouth of the universe - February 7, 2010
Space travelers came upon a mouth. They realized that this, indeed, was the mouth of the entire universe - that the entire universe was one infinite living being with a mouth. Indeed, we had discovered the very mouth of this universe! The mouth shared knowledge of its whole universal self.
We realized that if one were to listen to the utterances coming forth from the mouth, eventually in infinite time, one would discover all the secrets of the universe.
Gradually the mouth began to protrude more and more. It took on a head, and arms and legs, eyes, nose and ears and began to move about.
We are all traveling in space every day. We are all the mouths and eyes and ears of the universe. We were already in the big boom when it happened. This is a universe at work. Cosmic dust does such things. "From dust thou art, and to dust thou shalt return."

READER BEWARE - February 6, 2010
Reader beware. Fresh thoughts may make you feel uncomfortable.
They are based on a thought process that tries to refuse to rely on dogmatic belief as a comfort cushion.
Dogmatic belief, as pertains to “fresh thoughts,” are those beliefs that we hold true just because we want to hold them true or because we have been taught that they are true. Dogmatic beliefs may be secular or they may be faith based (for lack of better terminology).
They are based on comfort and are far from being well thought out.
Fresh thoughts are well thought out. They may incense you, but their logic may be compelling. Some are just for fun.
If there are fresh thoughts whose logic you find to be faulty, we’d love to hear your take on it. Dialogue can help us grow.
“A rose is a rose is a rose.”

fresh thought - IF I WAS AN HERMAPHRODITE - February 5, 2010
If I was an hermaphrodite
Would you quite know how to take me?
Would you try to make me into you?
Declare which organs I could use?
Would you tell me how it is I feel?
Who are we? - the hypocrites
Who sit and ponder every day,
Telling others how to shit
And authorizing all the ways
We deal with love.

NAKED SELF - February 3, 2010
327 NAKED PEOPLE
We all have our uniforms – external garments and internal creeds.
Take 327 people – a demographically mixed cross section of society.
They are naked. They are strangers: shaved of all bodily hair, tattoos removed, without jewelry or trinkets.
They all speak different verbal languages.
They are on a deserted island which can sustain human life.
Each has only a piece of string and a knife.
What would we discover about internal identity?
Who are you really?
Who am I really?

fresh thought - The Virgin Mary - February 2, 2010
If Jesus was the Son of God, and Mary was a virgin, what did Jesus' DNA look like?
comment:
For centuries we've been asking questions about the nature of Jesus and the great mystics. When the above question is asked, there are those that consider it sacriligeous and/or unnecessary.
The non-thinking populace would have us still believing that the sun revolves around the earth.
"Ask and you will receive. Seek and you will find. Knock and it will be opened unto you."

SO DECLARES YOUR GRAMMY - (written following the 2010 awards ceremony) - February 1, 2010
SO DECLARES YOUR GRAMMY
The holocaust never existed
So declares your Grammy
Raise the demi-gods on high
As they reach into your children’s jammies.
Shuffle pedophiles around
Bright crosses hiding all their sins
Trumpet message loud and clear
The hidden market money wins.
As victims are forced cross borders
Sickos placing internet orders
From stifling, filthy, sleaze motels
They buy and sell
We close our eyes…..
Grammy is going to hell.

ON the DEATH of JIM DULL - December 11, 2009
My brother, Jim Dull’s life process ended on December 11, 2009 – medical charts indicate at 4:19 pm. This essay is being written in honor of him.
Jim Dull's DNA was extremely different than yours. It was extremely different than mine. It was extremely different than anyone’s who has ever lived and probably anyone’s who ever will live. Jim Dull’s life process began sometime in May of 1946 when this DNA came into being.
Along with Jim’s environment, this DNA drove his life process. It expressed itself in unique talents, his personality, his drives, desires and motivations, his feelings. It basically made Jim, Jim. Jim's unique set of qualities gave us the person that folks loved, the Jim that I loved and still love.
This essay is being written in honor of the unique individual, Jim Dull.
Please allow me to challenge your brain. What I’m about to write may be hurtful to you. If it opens insight, it is for the good.
If you deny that my brother’s life process started when his unique DNA footprint came into being, there are a few things you can start to surmise about yourself, among them these:
1. You lack knowledge of biological science; and/or
2. You have yet to think this subject through thoroughly.
Perhaps this essay can help you.

This essay is being written in honor of him – the unique individual, Jim Dull, who lots of folks loved, who I loved and still love.
Your DNA footprint is extremely different than mine. Unless you are one of identical siblings or a clone, your DNA footprint is extremely different than anyone’s who has ever lived and probably anyone’s who ever will live. In conjunction with your environment, your DNA footprint expresses itself in your unique talents, your personality, your drives, desires and motivations, your feelings, your sex, your sexual orientation, your race. It basically makes you, you.
Your individual life process began when your individual DNA footprint came into being. Your individual life process will end sometime in the future – medical charts will probably indicate at a specific time.
May we rest in peace.

On the Grief of a Brother's Passing - November 27, 2009
On Grief of a Brother’s Passing
They buried him in the cold, cold ground.
His warm, warm heart joins to the earth.
A penny’s worth of carnal flesh
From dirt to dirt.
And I am only empty now
Somehow I wonder had it been
That he’d lived on in earthly plane
My brother and my friend.
Some will talk of his rebirth
Repetitious lives on earth
With lauds of love and joy and mirth.
But I am only empty now
Somehow I wonder had it been
That he’d lived on in earthly plane
My brother and my friend.
He chose to go upon the wind
And as I gaze and talk with him,
I brim with hope; I clearly see
That somehow, somewhere we will be
Brother-friends eternally.
But I am only empty now
Somehow I wonder had it been
That he’d lived on in earthly plane
My brother and my friend.

ON FASCISTS
Fascists expect you to apologize for opinions you may have that differ from theirs. We all have a little fascist in us. Some people have a lot.

ON USE OF THE VERNACULAR IN FRESH THOUGHTS - There has been criticism of use of the vernacular in our "fresh thoughts." For a good portion of every day, we communicate and work with folks who use the vernacular. Fresh thoughts is an extension of that. - July 10, 2009
If use of the vernacular is insulting to you, we suggest that you skip this section of the website, and go to the more refined sections of the site. The vernacular , we believe, speaks to many of the folks that we are attempting to communicate with via our art. If you disagree, there are plenty of sections in this site that may speak more deeply to you.
FRESH THOUGHT - GOOD PEOPLE and SHITHEADS - June 4, 2009
In this entire universe there are only two types of people: good people and shitheads. These two categories supersede all our other categories, whether those categories be race, creed, national origin, political bent, gender, sexual orientation, religion, profession, etc.
This essay will attempt to shed light on this topic, the truth of which we probably all know instinctually. Our subconscious mind preaches this truth to us throughout our lives. It becomes evident when we see little children cozy up to certain individuals without parameters of prejudice or long years of life experience and taught categorization.
Shades of gray confuse the subject: all of us are neither completely good, nor are any of us complete shitheads. There is a spectrum that we can overlay on the discussion that may help us to communicate about it. We all know our saints, 10’s on the spectrum. Zeroes on the spectrum have been vilified throughout history.
Definitions can serve to launch discussion toward an understanding of this, a universal matter. Here goes.
A shithead is someone who defines you through their personal agenda. They fail to see who you are as a person. A good person, on the other hand, sees you for who you truly are, with all your needs, wants and humanness. A good person’s communication with you is sincere and relevant to whom you really are. A shithead’s communication with you is an attempt to manipulate you into being someone that fulfills that shithead’s needs and wants.
Vastly oversimplified, this definition serves the purpose of widening the discussion.
As the world gets smaller, this topic will take on more relevance. We will start to realize that in wars, debates, categories, philosophical differences, etc. we are often pitting the good against the good, protecting the shitheads of the world with mass definitions of agenda.
We will also realize that love between two good people is of a spiritual nature and that sexual communication between good people is on a different plane.
When this is understood, our sexual nature will drive us into an exploration of the topic of goodness. When we understand that a “love experience” between 2 good people is on a different plane than a strictly physical experience, we will all want to become truly good people: it has its earthly rewards.
This whole topic will be defined neurologically at some point in the future. The naysayers will realize that there is tangible evidence of this supposition, and this will change our world significantly.
