mushroom chocolates at 5pm

Four years ago today, my brother died. Stop taking your problems so seriously. On mushrooms there's no hiding, time perception changes, time slows and you like it. You see nature for what it is, you see it with your lens of perception removed. It feels strange, you know you'll only be here for a short while so you want to make the most of it while it lasts. You realize you've never heard music. Things happen in waves and if you're open to them, you will notice. I didn't see anyone on a bike, and then a whole bunch of people were suddenly on bikes, perhaps they all picked up on the same frequency that brought them to the same park at precisely the same time, or perhaps they all got stuck at the light. The medium is just the messenger. If you can give someone a love, that is real, a love that asks nothing in return, there's nothing more pure. There's nothing more pure than love that’s not diluted, uncut. Which is why when you have it, it consumes you. Infects you like the chemical that it is. It hurts, but you know it's the best thing to be hurt by. There's a chance one of us will get hit in the head with an acorn, but that makes it more fun. Two birds coming together and flying apart, but always moving in the same direction. The super power is realizing the real from the fake. If you build it, if you make it, they will come. It's like nature puts on a show when it senses it has an audience. If you scroll through your photos really fast, it's like you can see your life flashing before your eyes.

There is great happiness in knowing that as much as nature is happening to me, I am happening to nature.
