BETTER THAN




It's been said that we are better than the worst moment of our lives. We are. It just takes some of us a little longer to realize it.

 For some of us, our missions in life are not very clear. We go through phases where we are total assholes. We go through periods where we just don't care about much of anything at all. We don't even much care for ourselves. The missions during these times seems to just be self destruction.

 But what if you look at it this way--maybe these phases are just aspects of the missions we must undertake? A form of informal training. Bad ideas, and habits, lead to our being placed in situations where we are forced to think.

 One step at a time, our paths begin to reveal themselves to us.Our maps unfold. We were going this way, now we must go that way. There are aspects of ourselves we do not fully know. We don't see them until they are acted out. One day we epitomize bad, the next day we've become heroes. 

 How the hell does that happen??

 Our processors are tricky. 

 Changes can be both small and insignificant and large and profound. They can come about through internal reflection or external experiences.

 Life is weird. Destiny doesn't consult with you about what it is going to do to you along your evolutionary path. Things just happen. And if you haven't tought yourself to pay attention, you will not see the trends in your life's journey. 

 Our worst moments are the harbingers of our best...

CORONA LOCK DOWN

Image
CORONA LOCK DOWN I was in prison for 28 years. I did substantial portions of that time in prison inside the prison. I prison we make light of many things. One of those things, that no one in prison actually wants to ever have to deal with, is prison inside the prison--solitary confinement or segregation. When you get in a fight that goes bad ( by you hurting someone too much) or you get confirmed as a gang member or you get in a physical confrontation with one of the guards that work at the prison you wind up in solitary confinement. You only get one hour of the day out of your cell. And that's only on the days the guards feel like it. You get to live around people that have slightly and completely lost their minds. The only time you get to interact with these other people is by yelling over the walkways or going outside to your designated cage while they are in their's. All of your movements are restricted. Even more so than in regular prison popul...

YOU THINK YOU HAVE IT TOUGH

YOU THINK YOU HAVE IT TOUGH: So there I was, in a day room surrounded buy dudes that were high, drunk, or just fucking weird in the head 24/7. Everyone around me was highly unpredictable. Another time, all the time, another place, every place, and now it's hostile, control freak guards yelling at, and attempting to bully inmates. At all times, you get the noise. It is never quiet in prison. At any time a guard can stop you, wherever you are at, and strip search you. And at certain times they always do. You get to go to work for 12 hours and get paid zero. You can steal to hustle, or choose not to. Your cell can be shaken down at anytime buy any guard with a hard on for you. You get to move around at designated times. You go to chow, to work, to get clothes, to the showers, to the recreation yard, to the day room, to school. Learn from your environment. Mainly, you will learn on your own.. Count time--line up and present your ID card. All day, ...

LOST IN THE DARK

LOST IN THE DARK The problem with knowledge is there is so much of it. And it is everywhere. How can you learn, how can you know, it all?? Some people do the wrong thing because doing the right thing, where they are from, is perceived as being just to hard. Sometimes. All the time. And maybe it's just that doing the right thing, where they are from, can get you killed. I could be wrong about this. Some people do everything, that is within their power to do, right and things still go horribly wrong for them. Is it all the result of some elaborate ancient curse bestowed on an ancestor for doing something wrong? Or is it some other form of thought contagion. Thought confetti. Images and information blown out in all directions. So all we see is the glowing orb in the sky. The image that tells us there is something else we should probably be focusing on. Instead of focusing on the darkness, that we can't seem to see through, all around us. ...
