Poeme to my brother Jean- Michael who died

on 9/11/2001

toi… tu ne dis jamais rien

toi…tu t'en vas et tu viens

tu ne veux ni le mal ni le bien

tu n' sais plus quel démon ni quel saint

si seulement tu savais…

toi et moi, nous aurions pu partir

toi et moi, nous aurions pu nous enfuir

toi… qui ne crois plus au destin

toi… qui n'as plus que des rêves lointains

un passé, un présent,  un futur incertain

un chemin, un sentier, un passage sans fin

si seulement tu savais

si seulement tu pouvais

toi et moi, nous aurions pu partir

toi et moi, nous aurions pu nous enfuir

toi… mon frère, l'homme enfant, mon unique lien

toi… mon passé, mon présent incertain

que deviendras-tu là-bas si loin

que deviendras-tu quand mon histoire prendra fin

si seulement tu savais

si seulement tu pouvais

toi et moi, nous aurions pu partir

toi et moi, nous aurions pu nous enfuir

May your soul be free and at peace

 "Plastic surgery is about showing our weaknesses to the world."

Once, when I was in one of my Shakespearean moods, I wrote " Time is my ally, patience an adversary. I shall keep faith as a shield and destiny for partner".

I wrote it, because I needed something that day, to keep me grounded. Food for thought as we say. And thoughts are like bubbles. Some stay with you for a while. Others pop out and disappear. I kept that one in mind.

In our society , we run against time like a clock going backwards. Good living? Bad living? It all comes down to one simple issue. From the day we were born, we were meant to die. What's between life and death is how we shape our daily life. And aging is part of the whole process.

Why then, do we hate ourselves so much to the extent of spending thousands of dollars, and undergoing numerous painful surgical procedures to look like somebody else. From ancient Greece up to now, the human race has been plagued with the phenomenon of perfection. This phenomenon is like fashion. It's recurrent. Why is it so important for us to look perfect?

Your nose is too long? Your lips too thin? Your ass too big? Your tits to small? The main preoccupation of our young generation is to look like people in magazines. The main preoccupation of the middle- aged is to "Cut and Paste" their way through eternity .

The young wants to become an imaginary touchup photograph, while the others look for the fountain of youth. Everybody want something other, than what they have. What's the point of saving money for old age, when it's out of the market place? Image has become an investment. And you have to follow its ups and downs.

Regardless the various choices the new technology on esthetic can offer, there is still one dilemma. How to keep up with gravity, when surgery can't prevent it? We survived deadly diseases, natural catastrophes, wars. But how do we survive the insidious virus of aging?

Time share our journey since birth. But it's now listed among America's most wanted. Time is a full time resident of the universe. We, on the other hand, are just tourists. And with our temporary visas, we have the audacity to believe that we can fight it. We look rather ridiculous, with our scalpel batting time like Don Quixote fought it's windmills. Time, like the past, acts as a mirror. It reflect where we've been and where we're heading.

But we would rather kill time looking at ourselves under a microscope, and uses surgery as a weapon against aging. We want our "fix". A pacifier for the body and soul. "Hey man, l want to look good and feel good rigthhhhhhh now" We have found an alternative to the realities of aging, and have become the junkies of the "Image Industry."

Surgery is the Trojan horse@ version 2007.

We love to be on the spotlight. But this time America, it's about showing our weaknesses to the wor1d.

And as for my body? I will take care of it like an old vintage car, by keeping a good maintenance and its authenticity

Dear David,

When I think of Al Gore, who improvised himself from politician to film maker, and who won an Oscar for what you have been working all your life and saying all along to us all, drives me nuts. I know at least someone with a powerful position specially in the state made a strong statement regarding the world situation. But I can't help see through everything and there is always an agenda behind most, if not all, politicians, specially the ones from the states. And in a time when it's popular and fashionable to talk openly about conspiration and environmental issues, opportunists are riding the wave of what is politically correct to do at this time. You should be the one winning a Nobel price on your work which has more value than an Oscar....Now that I downloaded my frustration about the USA propaganda on everything, I want to take the time to wish you and your love ones a wonderful spring celebration.

Peace and all my love, respect and admiration for your dedication and hard work.

Love

What we call love is really a whole spectrum of relating, reaching from the earth to the sky. At the most earthy level, love is sexual attraction. Many of us remain stuck there, because our conditioning has burdened our sexuality with all kinds of expectations and repressions. Actually the biggest "problem" with sexual love is that it never lasts. Only if we accept this fact can we then really celebrate it for what it is - welcome its happening, and say good-bye with gratitude when it's not.

Then, as we mature, we can begin to experience the love that exists beyond sexuality and honors the unique individuality of the other. We begin to understand that our partner often functions as a mirror, reflecting unseen aspects of our deeper self and supporting us to become whole.

This love is based in freedom, not expectation or need. Its wings take us higher and higher towards the universal love that experiences all as one.

Myspace is like a wonderful garden.

I see myself planting seeds, nurturing the ground, smelling the blossoming flowers, seeking wisdom under a tree, harvesting the fruits, been at peace enjoying the multitudes of scent and sounds coming from the plants and birds up above my head….

How can explosions on the sun possibly be related to the existence of poverty or wealth in the lives of men?

Six thousand years before Jesus, it was the view in Sumeria that whenever illness occurs, whenever epidemics are born, the stars are somehow connected. These days there is a scientific basis for this view. And those who understand the science of astrology today say it was the Sumerians who began the history of mankind.

In 1920, a Russian scientist, Chijevsky, investigated this matter deeply and discovered that every eleven years enormous explosions take place on the sun. Every eleven years a nuclear explosion occurs on the sun. Chijevsky discovered that whenever such nuclear explosions occur on the sun, wars and revolutions begin on Earth. According to him, during the past seven hundred years, whenever such phenomena have occurred on the sun, there have been disasters on Earth.

Chijevsky's analysis was undeniable and, because it went against the Marxist viewpoint, in 1920 Stalin had him arrested and thrown into prison. Only after Stalin's death could Chijevsky be released. For Stalin, Chijevsky's conclusions must have seemed very strange. According to Marxist and communist thinking, whatever revolutions occur on the Earth are fundamentally caused by economic differences between men. But Chijevsky declared that the cause of revolutions is the explosions happening on the sun.

How can explosions on the sun possibly be related to the existence of poverty or wealth in the lives of men?

If Chijevsky's thesis is correct, then Marx's entire system disintegrates into dust. Then you cannot explain revolutions any longer in reference to economics and class struggle; then only astrology can explain revolution.

Chijevsky could not be proved wrong. His calculation covering seven hundred years was so scientific, the connection he established between explosions on the sun and phenomena on the Earth was so close, that to prove him wrong was difficult. But to send him to Siberia was a simple matter.

After Stalin's death Khrushchev released Chijevsky from Siberia. Nearly fifty valuable years of this man's life were lost in Siberia. After his release he only lived another four to six months, but in those few months he gathered together even more evidence for his thesis. He also linked the spread of epidemics on the Earth to solar influence.

The sun is not a static ball of fire as we ordinarily think, but rather an infinitely alive and dynamic, fiery organism. The sun changes its mood every moment. And when the sun changes its mood even a little, life on Earth is affected. Nothing happens on the Earth without something happening on the sun. When there is a solar eclipse, the birds in the forest stop singing twenty-four hours before. During the entire time of the eclipse the whole Earth becomes silent. The birds stop their singing and all of the animals in the forest become oppressed and frightened, full of apprehension. The monkeys abandon their trees and come down below. They form themselves into groups, apparently as a means of protection. And it is a surprising thing that these monkeys, who are always gossiping and making a hue and cry, become so quiet at the time of the eclipse that even meditators cannot compare with them.

Chijevsky explained this entire matter, but such thinking first originated in Sumeria.
