Heaven and earth and I are of the same root, the ten-thousand things and I are of
one substance.....Zen Master Seng-chao.

Dead man walking………

An eye for an eye……..makes the whole world blind……..Mahatma Gandhi.

I’m a madman…….I feel like there’s a monster inside of me……..I know horrible things are going to happen.

How long till they start making up diseases?…….so they can sell their pharmaceuticals?…….like Goya’s “Saturn devouring one of his sons”…….we are feeding on our young.

You’re floating on a boat at sea……..water, wind and sky……..suspended in one moment……for eternity.

I killed three brothers…….I held on to the rope as they yelled, “let go! let go!”…….rain coming down in sheets…….thunderous lightning flashing all around revealing the rubber raft filled with three brothers…….we weren’t thinking, caught up in the storms’ power and excitement…….we watched as I let go the rope…….the concrete storm drain running behind our house was awash with rushing water spilling over the top as they rounded the curve, screaming and yelling with glee, running the rapids, riding the river……..we never imagined the destination, only the ride…….they were swallowed by the earth…….they never came back…….I killed three brothers.

Tiny little spiders…….floating into view…….tiny little spiders…….coming down on you.

I killed others too…….I killed my mother……left her alone……in a big old house…….to live all alone……thirty seven Seconal and a fine bottle of wine……. and well, you know the rest.

I’m in a constant state…………of overwhelm……….I’m paralyzed.

I killed…….my brother……..little babies…….sons and brothers…….mothers and fathers…….I killed them all……I kill the ones I love…….with my choices……my poor, poor choices.

As soon as you have made a thought…….laugh at it…….Lao Tzu.

I have changed the future…….and choice………was my weapon…….slicing blindly, the damage done.

We are using the oceans as our toilet and trash bin……no wonder we’re living in a cesspool……we are feeding on our young.

We are fishing out the seas and filling our atmosphere and land and waters with poisons of every kind…..we are feeding on our young.

Now I have to worry about how much mercury is in the fish I eat……how much poison is okay in your fish?

We are slaughtering one another at an ever astounding rate……I thought we were supposed to be “civilized”……we are feeding on our young.

We are enslaving ourselves in an economic brutality……slowly strangling ourselves in our own greed…..we are feeding on our young.

It’s in our nature to destroy ourselves……..our choices are all that can save us.

It’s time to change the world……..food and housing and education would seem to be better weapons against extremism and violence than murder and mayhem…….we are feeding on our young.

In an experimental computer game……we can choose to compete or cooperate with our perceived opponent……with experience we learn that with cooperation we gain more points than when we compete……learning……that working together makes us stronger.

When we put profit above human life……we are feeding on our young.

In the absence of light……darkness prevails…….Hellboy.

If you kill me…….you’ll just be putting me out of my misery……..I’m serving a life sentence with my choices……I guess I’ve earned it.

Good and evil…….is a matter of perspective…….just choose what works……and work together.

Have you ever wondered why there are no more heroes?…….it’s because today……all men and women are heroes.

Life…………………….no one gets out alive.

Go to your bosom……knock there, and ask your heart what it doth know…….William Shakespeare.
