i read somewhere... 31 december 2019...

without ignoring the calamities/ problems/ frustrations/ disasters in the world we have all created and are responsible for... but since it is the last day of the year and the last day of a decade, allow me to throw some positivity around, a little glitter, a little sparkle, a little hope, as the fight and the love continue before we all perish...
i shall share with you my last, for 2019, i read somewhere, full of hard work, the unlearning of the bullshit, the total destruction of anything toxic in your life, from the government to any relationships, including the one with yourself and all the revelations, reflections, results and directions, you'll be able to decipher and unravel and finally practice, when and not if, you get ready to take the leap...
i wish you all a better, different, spectacular start; stay healthy, safe, creative, radical, resistant and keep swimming... 
ps. this is not to be considered as some self serving mumbo jumbo motherfucker; just a little reminder of what alive, thinking and doing can achieve. x
I invite you to say/ think this:
love everything about you, your beauty and pain, hungry soul, wounded longing, flaws and fears.
do not betray or deceive yourself
believe, forgive and adore yourself
accept, amuse and redeem yourself
feed and nourish your body and spirit
be with people who deserve us and vice versa
communicate with a yes and a no
respect our planet and its animals and plants, the rivers, lakes, oceans, skies and forests
spread the love
smash the bullshit patriarchy and all the shackles enslaving us all
believe that fortune will visit, to eradicate limitations and encourage braver horizons
devote yourselves and fight hard to cultivate
beauty, truth, love, justice, equality, tolerance, creativity, playfulness, and hope
"Every minute of every hour of every day you are making the world, just
as you are making yourself, and you might as well do it with generosity
and kindness and style."
Rebecca Solnit
know the problem, solve the problem and provide antidotes to the world's poisons, with love and power
"We should feel excited about the problems we confront and our ability to
deal with them.
Solving problems is one of the
highest and most sensual of all our brain functions."
Robert Wilson
remember
you can make a difference
stay humble and learn from it
help and serve your fellow person
take yourself serious and have fun with it too
remember the coin has two sides; a good and bad
take the leap, recognise your fears, how freeing
thank yourselves for having the nous to identify the idiocies and then smashing them
we are human, we are a cluster of everything fluid and messy, we are victorious.
with love and anticipation.

before i disappear into my own festive embrace in the kitchen (cooking up a festive feast) and on the sofa, by the tree (for the yearly treat)... i am spreading some positivity, warmth and love, today and everyday from this day forward. 
with my festive special 'i read somewhere':
"Surround yourself with people whose eyes light up when they see you and who have no agenda for your reform.
Change yourself in the way you want everyone else to change
Love your enemies in case your friends turn out to be jerks
Write a love letter to your evil twin during a lunar eclipse
Dream up wilder, wetter, more interesting problems
Change your name every day for a thousand days
Exaggerate your flaws till they turn into virtues
Kill the apocalypse and annihilate Armageddon
Brag about what you can't do and don't have
Bow down to the greatest mystery you know
Make fun of people who make fun of people
Scare yourself with how beautiful you are
Pretend your wounds are exotic tattoos
Sing anarchist lullabies to lesbian trees
Commit a crime that breaks no laws
Sip the tears of someone you love
Give yourself another chance
Play games with no rules
Relax and go deeper
Mock your fears
Drink the sun".
Fall in love with your life over and over... 
I wish you all a wonderful time with your selves and loved ones.
Keep warm, keep safe and remember the ones who have less than you or nothing at all.
Think of those who will never see festivities because of wars and displacement.
Think of those who are ill.
Think of those who have departed this realm.
And remember how fortunate you are for being healthy, alive, prosperous, loved and loving.
Keep swimming and keep the aspidistra flying; we have work to do in the bettering of our world.
In peace and love.

i read somewhere:
"Exaggerate your flaws till they turn into virtues
Pretend your wounds are exotic tattoos
Refuse the gifts that infringe on your freedom
Shun sacred places that fill you with boredom
Keep in mind it's bad luck to be superstitious
The official story's always fictitious
Pump up your karma with idiot laughter
The promised land's here, not in some hereafter
We are searching for the answers
so we can destroy them and dream up better questions
Use your third eye to watch TV
Sing anarchist lullabies to lesbian trees
Think with your heart and feel with your head
Spit a mouthful of beer as far as you can
Kick your own ass and wash your own brain.
Make fun of your fears and heal your own pain
Play games with no rules, save your own life
Push your own buttons and be your own wife
We are searching for the answers
so we can destroy them and dream up better questions
Plunge butcher knives into accordions
Forgive yourself of all your mistakes except one
Commit funny crimes that don't break any laws
Shock yourself with how beautiful you are.
Tell jokes to clowns and cook feasts for chefs
Sing songs to the birds, and kill your own death
Mangle your anger, transform it to pleasure
Change your name, steal your own treasure
Go wash some water
Mock your own hypocrisy
Go burn some fire
Brag about your perplexity
Go wash some water
Advertise your secrecy
Go burn some fire
Overthrow reality"
"May I feel all I need to feel in order to heal; may I heal all I need to heal in order to feel." Marguerite Rigoglioso
