What if you’re wrong?
I know
You’re not
I’m just sayin’
You could be

This is what a GOP President could have said months ago, leading into an election where his party was concerned about voter fraud.

Don’t you love it when an idea pops in your head and something clicks? It happened to me the other day. I’m sitting there doing a meditation / creative visualization technique I do to pick up new ideas and get guidance, and this quote comes into my head by Confucius:

My grandfather fought in WWII, fighting against authoritarianism and genocide, to protect the freedom we enjoy today. I’m forever grateful. His unit was one of the first Allied units to enter and liberate Auschwitz. I could never get him to talk much about it. All he’d say was the horrors he witnessed were beyond words.

This is a great interview with Elise Boivin from Artly Owl, an art consulting company in the Bay area. Wonderful agency. Wonderful questions. Really enjoyed the conversation. Thanks Elise!

We are going through an experience right now that they will write chapters about in the history books of the future. Living in Los Angeles, I’ve lived through quite a few extreme moments in history…earthquakes, riots, fires and mass shootings. But this is a first. This time it’s planetary. Usually when the entire world is involved, it’s for a war, where one part of the planet is pitted against another.

I forget it sometimes. This experience with the Coronavirus has reminded me that it's mostly ideas and beliefs that separate us. Nothing else. As we're physically separated, in some ways I feel more connected.

I used to get a little sad after the holidays ended. During the holidays, life is a little more...lifey...I’d continue to do my regular routines, jobs, etc. but there’d be an additional thread running through that pervades everything. Celebration. Happiness. A focus on “things that matter.”

This is an interview I did recently with Shana Nys Dambrot for the LA Weekly.

Fog is my favorite
It imposes itself
On the morning
Takes over
Without force
No vote
No coup
