Yeah, right!


A change in lifestyle, no matter how small, can range from irritating to painful.

They broke their backs lifting Moloch to Heaven!
Pavements, trees, radios, tons! lifting the city to
Heaven which exists and is everywhere about us!

Visions! omens! hallucinations! miracles! ecstasies!
gone down the American river!
Dreams! adorations! illuminations! religions! the whole
boatload of sensitive bullshit!

Breakthroughs! over the river! flips and crucifixions!
gone down the flood! Highs! Epiphanies! Despairs!
Ten years' animal screams and suicides!
Minds! New loves! Mad generation! down on the rocks of Time!

Real holy laughter in the river! They saw it all! the
wild eyes! the holy yells! They bade farewell!
They jumped off the roof! to solitude! waving!
carrying flowers! Down to the river! into the street!
- From Allen Ginsberg's Howl

On change

What does one do when things change, or are about to change in a big way? Change is the only constant, yet we get jittery every time we realize that change is coming. Even if we have chosen it ourselves. Aristotle once said "Change in all things is sweet". But even as it feels so good, the prospect of change does send a little shiver down the spine. But when its time for a change, and you know its good- the only thing to do is just close your eyes and move ahead!

In the meantime,



The universe is change; our life is what our thoughts make it.- Marcus Aurelius
