It is you who are the basket case...


So, apparently one has to follow the rules and laws of the *common* people. One has to *be this*, *do that* , *feel this* and *think that* *act like this*, * avoid that*, and *never say this* or *believe that*... or else you are considered to be *wrong* *unbalanced* and *crazy*. Probably ... or not? This is who I am and how I roll. Crazy, wrong or unbalanced... I laugh, I give myself to others, I speak, I take chances, I am able to change, I beat challenges, I fall and I stand up and walk, even if I have to do it millions of times, I feel intensely, I don´t stop, I imagine, I cry, I sing, I dance, I care about others, I am generous, I create, I invent, I love... intensely too, I dream... I work to make dreams come true, I have passion and put passion on what I do. And I am blessed.

I´ll share this ...again.

*There are so many hammocks to catch you if you fall, so many laws to keep you from experience. All these cities I have been in the last few weeks make me fully understand the cozy, stifling state in which most people pass through life. I don't want to pass through life like a smooth plane ride. All you do is get to breathe and copulate and finally die. I don't want to go with the smooth skin and the calm brow. I hope I end up a blithering idiot cursing the sun - hallucinating, screaming, giving obscene and inane lectures on street corners and public parks. People will walk by and say, "Look at that drooling idiot. What a basket case." I will turn and say to them "It is you who are the basket case. For every moment you hated your job, cursed your wife and sold yourself to a dream that you didn't even conceive. For the times your soul screamed yes and you said no. For all of that. For your self-torture, I see the glowing eyes of the sun! The air talks to me! I am at all times!" And maybe, the passers by will drop a coin into my cup.*
