outer shell nigh unbreakable
utopian inside dystopian hope
identity disappears in greenish smoke
look for the spiral I left behind
like falling snow I flee your mind..

Favorite Quote:
"A man is a fool not to put everything he has, at any given moment, into what he is creating. You're there now doing the thing on paper. You're not killing the goose, you're just producing an egg. So I don't worry about inspiration, or anything like that. It's a matter of just sitting down and working. I have never had the problem of a writing block. I've heard about it. I've felt reluctant to write on some days, for whole weeks, or sometimes even longer. I'd much rather go fishing, for example, or go sharpen pencils, or go swimming, or what not. But, later, coming back and reading what I have produced, I am unable to detect the difference between what came easily and when I had to sit down and say, "Well, now it's writing time and now I'll write." There's no difference on paper between the two." – Frank Herbert

Im working in an office at the moment...a little draining being under fluorescent lights all day...I will be leaving my job soon to travel. I have lived in Vancouver since I was born (I am very blessed). What about you?
I've been doing raw foods a long time, originally it was pretty low fat anyway just naturally as I did lots of sprouts salads greens fruits few nuts and seeds, it was simpler before superfoods came along and all the supplements. I then got influenced by all the supplement stuff and did everything, after all I wanted to avoid deficiency didn't I, the superfoods flax oil supplements msm cacao maca etc and staryed away from fruit ( how stupid is that!?) due to all the anti fruit stuff and believing it all and did not feel so good although stress was partly related, I think. Sometimes it is difficult to put a finger on exactly. Recently, I've been adding loads more fruit and low fat and all my fatigue problems have now gone and I feel so much happier,and clearer headed too.
Maybe supplements have their place for some people at certain times but my experience has now confirmed to me just how simple it really is. I've been interested in those that follow a high fruit diet and they seem happier calmer and it does seem the longer term rawies do have to end up going low fat. Maybe there are certain individual differences, I don't really know
I added you as you were a fruit person. I like fruit people. Fruit is beautiful. I used to read all these spiritual books about abundance and stuff and they used to make me irritated as they are all about wealth as if that is abundance and I suddenly came to realise what it meant when I picked my own wild fruit, apples and blackberries and the amazing feeling of gratitude and delight I felt when picking fruit. I'd never experienced that before and then I knew what gratitude really meant.
Anyway a bit long winded, I'm sorry you feel like a raw leper I do a bit too sometimes as the way I see things is bit different to the average raw foodist.
Indeed I will be there! I know what you mean about shopping, I am a grocery store junkie!!!! I could spend hours roaming the aisles, although lately I have felt lost once I leave the produce department. See you tonight!
I like being friendly! You going to Luminara with Jess tomorrow? I may be mistaken but I thought she said you were coming...A many number of things have brought me to raw! One being that I had just quit smoking pot and decided I need to get healthy from years of eating junk. I wanted to be motivated and have more energy...so far so good, not 100% yet but getting close. Be sure to check out Bliss Cafe on Pandora, they are a 100% raw, organic cafe and juice bar...simply amazing if I do say so myself...Have a wonderful day <3
