Jesse's Blog: February 2010

Welcome!

I, God, welcome you to my blog!

The good book says only God is good, so it seems to me somebody needs to step up.

I hope you enjoy reading this, the Jesse Journal, as much as I have enjoyed writing it. Please feel free to subscribe, write me an email, request that I write about any particular topic you may want my perspective on, send a prayer, click on the charity link, or donate money to my bicycle fund! Have fun!

Your pal, Jess
I'm a straight, virgo/boar INTJ (age 53) who enjoys books, getting out into nature, music, and daily exercise.

F.Y.I. There are about 2200 posts..

Here's a quote from Fyodor Dostoevsky to start things off right: Love the animals, love the plants, love everything. If you love everything, you will perceive the divine mystery in things. Once you perceive it, you will begin to comprehend it better every day. And you will come at last to love the whole world with an all-embracing love.

The Diamond Sutra

Read it at http://www.diamond-sutra.com/ .

It's what Jack Kerouac had brought with him up to his mountaintop. I'm reading his Desolation Angels.

Aside: The three men I admire most: the father, son, and holy ghost, packed their things up for the coast the day the music died... Kerouac is said to be the son, from that song lyric.

In chapter 49, he says he is God, he is Buddha.

William Burroughs warning to Jack Kerouac

From Joyce Johnson's introduction to Kerouac's Desolation Angels:

"A man who uses Buddhism or any other instrument to remove love from his being in order to avoid suffering, has committed, in my mind, a sacrilege comparable to castration."
