Brothers a Russian Man wearing a medallion right before I entered the spirit world told me to read the book Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill and also a yoga teacher friend of mine told me to, and we both liked Rickey Henderson so I believed him and the Russian guy was nice and I never saw him again, and in that book you’re supposed to set up periodic meetings with lighthouses from your childhood at sea and dress them up like ghosts to be translucent and really helpful but I’ve been wondering lately how do you help them back though.

CAL RIPKEN I met Cal in the John Brown General Store in Hunt Valley Maryland after I had played a little league game. I loved playing baseball. He asked me when my next game was and I said Thursday and he said to enjoy it because you never know when it will be your last game.

GEORGE HARRISON Arrived in dream form and said don’t worry about anything this sweater I’m wearing right now my grandfather made and it’s still good, look at it. Then he played a song on my piano and I remembered it when I woke up and made it into a whole song.

MICHAEL JORDAN When I was lost in Santa Cruz as a young man he demonstrated that a singular focus yields reflective results, but maybe above all was reliable in an otherworldly way. Later in life I watched the documentary called the Last Dance where he seems to be trying to teach you something, like he’s talking just to you, and then you see the part from thirty years ago in Santa Cruz and I wept like Allen Ginsberg says about that party in Bolinas where Bob Dylan sings the song about nuclear wars which makes this run on sentence paragraph like a kaleidoscopic Russian Doll that turns itself metaphysically inside out and now one is compelled to talk about the view out of a spaceship windshield, which I will resume at a later date.

MIA Rewatch that movie she made and then write about it. Also you are supposed to document here what you are trying to learn from these people so do that later too.

PETER BEARD I think it was my friend Patrick who showed me this very nice expensive printing of one his collage journals that he made in Africa and I did start making collage journals but I haven’t yet managed to live near enough to giraffes or sexually liberated fashion skills.
