#excerpts Tumblr posts

40 years ago today I drew this pic. One year to the day John Lennon left the planet.

Before computers. Before cell phones. But not before he made an impact on a young wannabe artist. Imagine that…..

Imagine.

Just imagine if we preached love and mercy,

instead of pushing power.

And fear.

Just imagine if we were prone to compassion and forgiveness,

instead of hate.

And blame.

Imagine.

Can you?

Could you imagine what our world would be like,

if we smiled and laughed,

instead of crying tears?

If we gave each other a chance to succeed at being?

Just imagine.

I've never found sunsets to associate with hope, of anything they are the most depressing of the things.

"You are my homecoming. When I'm with you and we're well together, there is nothing more I want. You make me like who I am, who I become when you're with me, Oliver. If there's any truth in the world, it lies when I'm with you, and if I find the courage to speak my truth to you one day, remind me to light a candle in thanksgiving at every altar in Rome."

- call me by your name
