Poem by Rob Brezsny...

This Is a Perfect MomentPAINFUL BLESSINGSby Rob BrezsnyThis is a perfect moment. It's a perfect moment for many reasons, but especially because you and I are waking up from our sleepwalking thumbsucking dumbclucking collusion with the masters of illusion and destruction. Thanks to them, from whom the painful blessings flow,We are waking up.Thanks to them, from whom the awful teachings ooze,We are waking up.Their wars and tortures,their devils and borders,extinctions of speciesand brand new diseases,their spying and lyingin the name of the father,sterilizing seeds andtrademarking water,stealing our dreams andchanging our names,their brilliant commercials,their endless rehearsalsfor the end of the world.Thanks to them, from whom the painful blessings flow,We are waking up.Thanks to them, from whom the awful teachings ooze,We are waking upTheir painful blessingsare cracking open holesin the sour and puckeredmass hallucinationmistakenly called reality.News of the soul's true homeis pouring in, infiltrating our increasingly lucidwaking dreams.Wild ripe juicy eternity is flooding in.Our allies from the other side of the veilare swarming in.We're waking up.And as Heaven and Earth come together,as the dreamtime and daytime merge, as paradise and the underworld overlap,we register the shockingly exhilarating fact that we are in charge -- you and I are in charge -- of making a brand new world.Not in some distant time or faraway place, but right here and right now.As we stand on this brink, as we dance on this verge, we can't let the ruling fools of the dying world sustain their curses. We have to rise up and fight their insane logic;defy and resist and prevent their tragic magic;unleash our sacred rage and let them feel it.But overthrowing the living dead is not enough. Protesting the well-dressed monsters is not enough. We can't afford to be consumed with anger --can't be obsessed and possessed with complaint.Our sweet animal bodiesneed to feel rowdy blessings.Our amazing imaginationsneed to thrive on missionsthat incite our delight.We need truths in their wild state,insurrectionary beautythat excites our curiosity,outrageous goodness that drives us to perform heroic acts of lusty compassion,ingenious love that endlessly transforms us,tricky freedom that is never permanent but must be reinvented and reclaimed every day,and a totally-serious-yet-always-laughing justice that schemes and dreams about how to diminish the suffering and increase the joyof every sentient being.So I'm radically curious, my fellow creators;I'm seriously delirious:Since we are in charge of making a brand New World,where do we begin?What truths in their wild state are we planning to plantat the heart of our creation?What stories will be our reminders?What questions will be our fuel?Here's one for you: In the New Worldyou will know through and throughthat life is crazily in love with you -- life is wildly and innocently in love with you. In the New World, you will know beyond a doubtthat thousands of secret helpers areangling to turn you intothe gorgeous curiosity you were born to be.But then here's the loaded question.The love that life eternally floods you with has not exactly been unrequited, but there's room for you to be more demonstrative.If life is wildly and innocently in love with you, are you prepared to start loving life back the way it loves you?In the New World, you will.In the New World,you will reject paranoia with all of your smart heart. Instead, you will embrace Pronoia, Which is the opposite of paranoia. Pronoia is the sneaking suspicion that the whole living world is conspiring to shower you with rowdy blessings. Pronoia is the dawning perception that life is a conspiracy to liberate you from ignorance, and fill you with love, and make you brilliantly soulful. My fellow creators, I want you to know that I am allergic to dogma. I don't trust any idea that requires me to believe in it absolutely. There are very few things about which I am totally certain. But I am absolutely certain that Pronoia describes the way the world actually is. Pronoia is wetter than water, truer than the facts, and stronger than death. It smells like cedar smoke in spring rain, and if you close your eyes right now,you can feel it shimmering in your soft warm animal body like the aurora borealis.The sweet stuff that quenches all of your longingis not far away in some other time and place. It's right here and right now. Earth is crammed with heaven.

What lemmings do...

Acorn is deeply sensual. His senses of touch, smell and sight are highly refined. And as for his taste? It's impeccable. Acorn is extremely discriminating - when he sees the best, he won't ever settle for anything less. He would rather 'go without' than go for a poor substitute. But then that's Acorn all over. It really isn't fair to call him 'stubborn as a mule.' Mules are adaptable, easy going creatures who are always eager to please - or at least, they are by comparison to Acorn. Unfortunately, for a person with such expensive preferences Acorn is not a millionaire ...or at least, not yet. You never know, it may just happen because Acorns' relationship with money is very interesting. He treats it with a curious mixture of disdain and respect. He never lets it stand in his way, yet he will go out of his way to get it when he needs to. Acorn is a smart cookie and a shrewd operator. It is not though, merely in the field of finance that Acorn displays intuitive wisdom. Acorn has an affinity with nature. He can make almost any plant flower and bear fruit. This is just as well because Acorn has a hearty appetite. He likes his food as indeed he likes all his creature comforts. Fond though he is of all the above - and of all life's little luxuries - there is one more source of endless fascination that Acorn cannot resist. Acorn doesn't so much have a hearty appetite for sensual pleasure as a ravenous hunger for it! Which is funny really because you wouldn't necessarily think it to look at him. Acorn likes to play it cool. Acorn likes to pretend that nothing bothers him, fazes him or excites him. Like all Taureans though, Acorn is a powerhouse of passion, as those who are lucky enough to know him - or to love him - will breathlessly testify.
