How to Collaborate with a Frequency of Being

There’s room for conversation, connection, cooperation, whether singularly or collectively. Sometimes, We’re trying to pull Our Selves together and/or put Our Selves in order and/or back together. We take deep breaths, We find time to *exercise; in other words, We indulge. Yes, this is what excites Us the most.When tapped into this feeling, this enjoyment of everything becomes everything because it’s enough… We’re given more without having to ask for more, just as it is said: Like Attracts Like

On How to Have an Unpopular Opinion

2025/03/24

Some say stretches of the imagination lead to discoveries, though this may be half-truth. As we look and/or sense what’s in front of us, we borrow from what is and what was. We can get lost in the difference, as a feeling, as a thought, as a vibration, as a way of being, as a value, as a judgement (etc., etc., etc.), but in this sense we have, at our disposal, an infinite “past” and/or “truth,” filled with myth and lore and legend. How we make sense of that is by composing, contrasting, and

How to See Something as it Relates to You

There are modes of transport, vehicles of inspiration, motivation. They drive us to a deep, inner knowing. Perhaps it's difficult to see how reflective it is due to its surface. What we see beneath/above all that, are levels.Ever wonder why we have models of depths and elevations?They're representations of thinking, each including and requiring their own vibrations and/or manifestations. Right or wrong play less of a role when determining where one is, so the saying goes “as above, so below,” and

Even in the absence of memory, there is fate and there is destiny.We have numbers like trillion, billion, million… we recognize them as possibilities, chances, choices, outcomes. There are greater numbers, as there are lesser. They represent a currency, and an energy of power, faith, security, and stability. They can even illustrate love, or the lack.At what point are these things, these othering things allowed to restrict you from your own exploring, of the infinite space you’ve been given?There is

How to Escape Ambition through Self Sabotage and...

What lust for direction have you chosen to sate today? Here's 20+ minutes, a breath, a gasp of anything. Perhaps it's wild, perhaps it's unexpected. Perhaps it explores love, its forms romantic, intimate, explicit. Oh my! What if it were gross or indecent? Perhaps there are songs. Perhaps there's a sliver of independence. Perhaps its garbage. It's so lovely, though, how we have different bags to carry things in, how we enjoy shuffling things along, sometimes they're expensive, sometimes they're

Daylight Dreams About Waking You

Did you know there are more ways to keep your eyes open than to close them? Why, some might say, that's quite a commitment! My oh my, what it takes for you to close them. How often do you even dare to close just one, to feel the thrill of it? And oh, but for how long?

Percolations, Installations, and Ceilings

2025/03/14

Some people keep their dread in their back pocket. Some prefer that it not ride their ass, so they put it somewhere closer, forgetting perhaps, that that place is more intimate. Either way it's a confession as much as it's a secret, a place where only the deserved can feel it. Some may judge, or offer confusions, but we know and recognize what we keep with us; it's in our self-conscious, our sub conscious, the truth of ourselves; and how rare and beautiful it is when we are who we are, expressing

Indulgence is Sweet, but Isn't it the Best Revenge?

2025/03/13

How often do we lick ourselves clean? It's often a performance, self-perfectionism. Why leave it anything up to someone else? Oh wait, almost everything in the universe was made and created for and by you. You must be exhausted, perhaps by knowing but certainly by glowing with the truth of this. Why be proud of anything less than everything?

Pathways and Prodigies, Productivity and Imaginings

How would you describe the taste of one's self? Do you instantly find that last sentence a grueling display of madness, chaos? Is it as slutty as you think it is, and what would people think knowing that's your first response? To be so loving or dispersive? Nom nom nom. How does it feel to be on someone's throat, choosing a path of early birding or morning worming? If these are the only two options, which one is worth rewarding? Subtle note: we have so many options, and you may be a dreamer, but

The Space of Words, The Lightness of Being

2025/03/10

Are you forgetful? Do you sleep on what was once because you are now being? Perhaps you've learned to disregard so much that there is only now, within certain folklores, fairytales. You've kept your wonderings to the wildness of woods, forests, unkept grass, places you'll never wander, let alone stand.It's like a quest, where your next task is to carry sand from one place to another, but only with cupped hands, as if to permit the existence of... well what would you permit the existence of?

Moving On While Stopped at the Train Tracks

Continuing on reflects just the surface of movement. What lies beneath is more than fluid, it's conscious effort. We've been taught that progress is linear, by posting goals, creating goal posts, yet we seldom look at the conditions and considerations that unlock, or rather, lock in the achievement. We pay less attention to the continuum, the accumulation, the cumulative effects, the things we've turned into second nature. Instinct... is it? Habit? Routine? Oh, how we're obsessed with final forms,

Sometimes we're caught, stuck, staring out a window. We've spent so much time, these days, barely noticing it's a looking glass; referencing some place for us to be, amidst all of our achieving, or whatever we think we're doing. In fact, what are we giving our thoughts, our love, our energy, especially as winter wanes? We are nearing March madness, that unspoken holiday, where we begin to resist what we have been facing, declaring need and desire for change. Perhaps this is related. Yes, with the

Looking for a salve, a balm. What else is there in an inner garden? It's nurtured with care, warmed by the sun. What's possible in our hearts is measured in love and thoughts. Its difference of opinion, its joy of process, is informed by what we're going through, or rather, what we believe in. From this comes growth and aspiration. This is no wild innovation, yet it is bare, truthful, open.

Jon Desjardins performs another astonishing work of thought, promise, creativity, vulnerability, and process. Today's character has found and taken the idea of a past-life contract to heart, one where you are partnered up with someone and have decided that in the next life, you'll find each other again, even if it takes a while, because why not? What if? He then explores untold burdens such a thing can avail, and why it might or might not be a good idea. This is done through sharing histories of

At this point, Jon Desjardins has created his first dating profile in earnest. He begins to wonder what are things people want to know, does he know them? Will he have enough of what they want to meet up and enjoy and enjoy and enjoy until all of the suns have set, risen, and been inexplicably luxurious, fond, loving, silly, honest, pleasurable, and intimate? Of course, when thinking these things, we get distracted by all manners of other things in our life, that interconnect and intersect, because

Within the framework of a number of characters Jon Desjardins has played and performed, as a version of a Jon Desjardins who does such things, there's a discovering and thought process of love, capability, and a new world of possibility in what's available. There is searching for "the life" as much as "the money" as much as "the living." All told through the lens of waking up in a really good mood, and having a sense that there is a love coming through, perhaps many... in all kinds of different
