"there are two worlds inside us. one is full and the other is empty.which one would you choose? the full world has everything and you consume and are consumed by everything and everyone. the empty world has nothing, quiet. solitude. peace.heaven. most humans don't want heaven our world isnt built for the realization of heaven. it is built to brainwash you into believing that hell is heaven." nature is our best door to heaven. its so much easier for god to speak through a tree than a human. we have too many intentions. nature is motion without logic or will. nature is pure life, the flowing canvas of god. when you step outside do you feel that?that feeling that everything that is good is there in the air and earth around you. that is the very fabric of the whole thing that your whipping up your nostrils. that's the creator and the created. admittedly most of the nature most people see most of the time is a man-made version. trees in jail. we don't even see nature anymore because it has been taken from us intentionally. there is good and there is evil in this world and never the two should meet anywhere but everywhere. we live inside the battle of light and dark, inside the boiling crucible of existence. heaven and hell are at our fingertips at all times. we are free to perceive what we want to. the "big trick" is to distract you into not perceiving good at all because your locked into a whole world amazing picture show starring none other than our old friend ego. the dark is strong here for sure, everywhere on the planet it grows like a virus.but some places still hold that edenic innocence and something that they all have in common is that they are places where nature rules over man , so light rules over darkness. they are places where gods and angels rest .gardens. religious literature testifies to at well. where does every major religious deity always hang out when they are chillin? you guessed it, nature. that doesn't mean sitting in your backyard with you ipod on,although that is also good, but its not nature. here's a question to help. when was the last time you put your bare foot on bare un-man-icured raw earth? now, it doesn't matter what your answer was the question is rhetorical. the interesting thing is the line of thought it inspires. now, perhaps if you live in the city you will go outside and look for some raw nature and you'll be looking for and at god and if you live in nature you'll go outside and say thank you, which is god also, but all of you (snow permitting) will hopefully get those tootsies out of the case and down on to the springtime ground. there's life in the ground this time of year and walking around barefoot is highly recommended. mans world leaves no place for that, literally. sure we have parks but more and more we are not immersed in nature, nature is immersed in man. the natural world is being driven out little by little.check out alaska. luckily nature has the sea on her side and the sea is bigger than all of us nature will return and is returning. we should remember her, for the time may come when we have to. "its hard to watch karaoke with the universe in your pocket." the angels grow weary of the ego show, and its about the only thing on these days.sounds like revelations oops sorry did i delve into that? well i meant to get to the end of this email not the end of the world. sooo, here's another question. when was the last time you were completely "unplugged" for more than 24 hours? me? well, it wasn't too long ago but certainly too long ago, life has been very plugged lately, especially since a cell phone came to invade my life, awful things. the good news is that me birthday is on the 21st and as is the tradition, we will be somewhere lovely and unplugged.  thanks. my other birthday tradition is an email. which because of my unpluggedness on my birthday i will not be able to write or send. so here it is, or was, have a happy spring. barefootedly,
