| Introduction | I'm a vegetarian who sings and meditates concurrently. How is this possible, you may ask. Being vegetarian is very easy. Meat is murder and that's that for that. Meditation is something else. It's place, a space for the mind to feel itself part of the universe. I often lose sight of the greater picture and sometimes misspell words that I used to know. I almost got my Ph.D. in English, but I think I'm too lazy to think about Adorno and Guy Dabord. These writers are not a part of my past. I just have to remember how much I loved Philosophy and bring West and East together for dinner. Meanwhile, I also want to live off my Art. This sounds selfish, but I think I have something to convey. I don't know, maybe not. Oh yeah: Jennifer Glee is an a.k.a. I would love it if someone from my past found my blog. |
