These birds, like me, are inside a house. A house of love, to what I expouse. Jesus Christ proved that hate is love. And love is love, and Zen is love, and loving is love -- everything is love! The birds of a winter day and the blue sky above. The birds of a winter and -- everything is love.
Dear David Crosby:
Thank you David for teaching me that everything is love. Thank you for keeping my family together. Thank you for being kind and gracious. Thank you for being alive, and, thank you for your faith. A kind good - will Christmas message from Kevin S. Denney in Albuquerque New Mexico. I haven't stopped smoking yet, but I still want to quit. Trying to quit all those times kind of pushed it the other way, know what I mean? That's the way addiction works. I wanted to apologize for cluttering up your web - page. My friends say my poetry is like going to the mountains, it's like going on a vacation. I must treat my addiction with passive resistance and so I prostrate myself before my master -- compatriot.
It's a wonderful Christmas in Albuquerque New Mexico. I've got my home clean and there are presents under my artificial fig - tree. That's twelve trees that have been saved. I feel like a lady whom is pregnant. I've got three Christmas trees in my home, one my afgan rug ( made in the USA so it's clean ) all bursting with flowers, and my Tiffany Lamp, that one can see from the street. I am feeling wonderful with my friends and family, ready to welcome the one I saw into my heart.
And so my good - will message. There is still faith in good. There is still the family. There is going to be the dawn of a new age in mankind. No matter what happens our familys will survive. I'm taking this one right here! And I'm taking this one! And I'm taking this one! When I want to quit smoking, I KNOW I can, maybe I will come back to this web - page.
Gone Troppo in Albuquerque:
Kevin S. Denney.

Ola, Kudos and greetings from OKC,OK. Hope all is well in your hacienda at this time of the year. My name is George R. Coulter. Just wanted to write and tell you how much I enjoy your music. Been listening since the 60's and 70's ( my so-called informative years ). Saw you and those other 3 co-horts (ha-ha) in 1974 in Dallas at Texas stadium. Quite a show (what I can remember). Mighty damn hot that day also. Sat in the sunshine 4 hrs, but to see you all playing your hearts out along with the Beach Boys and Jesse Colin Young, yeah I'd say the heat was mucho caliente'. Never felt it. Hats off to CSN,Y forever. I'll drop back now, but leave ya' with a little wit. May your art never wane. And in the words of the late Roy Rogers, "Have a great day, a better one tomorrow, and may the good Lord take a liking to ya'. Adios, Jorge' Coulter

He's the reason why I've got brotherly love.
He kept my family together, this is true.
All of the love -- David -- all of the love inside of you!
If you love somebody, then set them free,

These are indeed happy and sunny days.

Dear David:
I changed my poem about Shikan - Taza, keeping the same concepts. My friend said the previous one sounded too much like prose. I "spiffed" it up and it's included below.
The Second Pillar of Zen -- Shikan - Taza.
I was on MTV! I was on MTV! I've been collaborating with MTV for a year! I was an empty kitchen chair next to Justin Timberlake of NSYNC! They put an empty kitchen chair two thirds in the background on the right while Justin Timberlake performed, and that was me! On the credits at the end it said "Man in the Chair -- Kevin Scott Denney of Albuquerque New Mexico." I've been sending MTV the entire UNIVERSE for a year -- nothingness itself. All of this love has become transcended! I am making a more positive and powerful statement by NOT being there! Buddhism! I don't NEED to be there! I'm a chair! I'm a chair! I'm the guy in the empty chair!
I am the chair. The chair is nothingness. Nothingness is a shell which propagates and gives forth life -- the breath. What is the breath? Out of chaos comes order, like a spider web covered with dew in the morning of a red - ocher sunrise. The trees are the breath. The clouds are the breath. The hollows in the clouds late afternoon grey - blue sky, that is the breath. It is the breath that is the most important thing in the world. The chair is the breath! Bodhidharma was a genius, he was the greatest engineer in the world. The chair! The transcendation! The universe! "Experience the transitions of your breath."
"I'm on a ship, I am traveling. The transitions of the sky, the hollows turning grey - blue, the day ends like the folding of a book. And then, slowly, the stars come. I come from the Pallisades, I am going towards Orion. On a ship I go, on a sea, navigating under the stars, under the ship it's going backwards in wet. The stars move under my commands! I cast my sails forth! Let my ship sail!
When I say this let it ring true, "The chair is the breath." Out of everything things are borne and die, the chair is the breath. Each breath has a father mother and a child, the chair is the breath. When you manifest the transitions of the breath, this is Shikan - Taza. The chair is the breath. "I am there, but I am not there, or maybe I just arrived, or maybe I just left." The chair is the breath. Bate your breath. The chair has always been there and always will be there, the chair is the breath. The chair is nothing! The chair is everything! Everything is the breath!
The chair! The breath! Am I there sitting in the chair? Am I not? How long have I been there? I've been there a long time, Shikan - Taza makes your life and what you do catch up to you. Shikan - Taza makes you realize all the things that you are. There were hundreds of thousands of viewers watching Justin Timberlake sing, Shikan - Taza makes things die and you have babies, just as in the transmission of the Holy Ghost. How many chairs are there now? Here's all these sixteen to twenty four year olds in the audience screaming, the chair was an oasis, it made the viewer feel peace. Shikan - Taza maies you relaxed and all peaceful and warm, with joy and exuberance.
"Bless the chair! Bless to all who saw it! Bless them when they die! Bless them when they are borne! The chair is everything that I have become! Bless me! Shikan - Taza saves! Bless Shikan - Taza!"
Sincerely Yours,
Kevin S. Denney Albuquerque New Mexico.

"The Second Pillar of Zen -- Shikan Taza" by Kevin S. Denney of Albuquerque New Mexico.
( It's not the henries or the mikes or the I know which one is those, it's a poem, it's a poem, it's a poem while I jones ... )
I was on MTV! I've been collaborating with MTV for a year! I was an empty kitchen chair next to Justin Timberlake of NSYNC! They put an empty kitchen chair two thirds in the background on the right while Justin Timberlake performed and that was me! On the credits at the end it said "Man in the Chair -- Kevin Scott Denney of Albuquerque New Mexico." I've been sending MTV the entire UNIVERSE for a year -- nothing. All of this love has become transcended! I am making a more positive and powerful statement by NOT being there! Buddhism! I don't NEED to be there! I'm a chair! I'm a chair! I'm the guy in the empty chair!
Nothingness -- the breath. EVERYTHING comes from nothing. Out of caos comes order. Planets come from nothing. Stars come from nothing. Thoughts come from nothing. The breath comes from nothing, so bate your breath. It is the breath that is the most important thing in the world. I now know the secret of Shikan - Taza! It is a secret two thousand years old. Bodhidharma was a GENIUS. He was the greatest Engineer in the world. I'M ON A SHIP, I FEEL PEACEFUL, I AM CHANGING. "Experience the transitions of the breath."
"I'm on a ship. The transitions grey - blue of the sky, the sky turning into night, I am following. And then the stars come. I come from the Palisades, I am going towards Orion. On a ship I go, on a sea, navigating under the stars, under the ship it's going backwards in wet. The stars move under my commands. I cast my sails forth! Let my ship sail!"
Boy, it sure is PEACEFUL to be out in nature. The thing I noticed last summer the most was the birds. Sparrows feeding on seeds next door. Baby inch long birds fifteen sparrows in a tree that came from that place in the house northward that I didn't tell anybody about. But the highlight of the summer was the robins. They can hear the worm moving around below before they feed. This robin needed to feed her young. This robin pulls out a six inch long worm out of the ground and makes a worm - sandwich in her beak, with the worm going across back and forth and hanging down in her beak, and then she SMILED at me! I meditate outside.
When the transitions of the breath are manifested, this is Shikan Taza. A sparrow might be feeding on seeds, but it might get caught by a cat. Shikan Taza makes you realize all the things that you ARE. When the breath is experienced with the feet you get the same sensation. I have never seen a robin eat so much! Their children are hungry! They eat all the time! Shikan - Taza makes things die and you have babies, just as in the transmission of the Holy Ghost. The birds make me so peaceful in my back yard, meditating outside, facing a tree, three sticks of inscence stuck into the ground lit, everything breathes. Shikan - Taza makes you feel peaceful and warm. What it does to your problems, maybe that's already been explained, maybe that's another poem.
Bless the birds! Bless them when they die! Bless them when they are borne! Let me die and live under my ship under the stars in the sea, to Orion I go! Shikan - Taza saves! Bless the birds! Bless me! Bless Shikan - Taza.
Sincerely Yours,
Kevin S. Denney Albuquerque New Mexico.

"Back in my old place spring Tholomus and I went outside. It was 3:30 in the morning, the moon was shrouded in clouds to hide. It was snowing and the snow was dancing on the flowers where it stood. In all of it's clarity and quiet and it's good.
Suddenly it became the most quiet that I have ever heard. Tholomus was sniffing the air, the quiet spoken word. The infinite shimmering silence that it became. What was his face? What is his name?" -- A Poem to the Silence and the Quiet by the author.
"If it's a real problem stand up tall. Nip it in the bud I tell you all. You may need to compromise and be good. The way will become clearer. The solution to become nearer. When you are done it will be all that you could." -- Bodhidharma's Sword, by the author.
"I'm am Mr. Sunshine! Everything is love! Everything is sunshine and everything thereof, we have now finally found the universal path. It is the sunshine that lies within. We will see the way again. We will see the light and a half." -- Mr. Sunshine, by the author.
Dear David Crosby ( in sincere thanks and gratitude ):
To the Reader:
I am trying to quit smoking cigarettes. I used this web - page to stop smoking, but I couldn't get over two weeks. I am trying to delegate resources to stop smoking cigarettes.
I went to two doctors to see if I could stop smoking cigarettes. The first guy, I start asking questions about the ulitmate limitations of the emergency room, but he started talking about my history. He should have answered my questions. He was a " -- ." He referred me to a primary care doctor, but he hasn't called yet. The other doctor was egotistical and said to cut down two or three cigarettes a week, but I want to go cold turkey. Nobody is going to tell me anything I don't already know. I want to feel better after I quit smoking after five hours. I want to feel the release. It's desirable. In the meantime there's no "Smokers Anonymous" in Albuquerque. Empower Smokers Anonymous. And so all I find is myself, David, this web - page, my friends, and my own bootstraps.
Some say smoking addiction is harder to quit than drugs. I dis - agree. It takes a long time to pass the craving for a drug. Twenty minutes to two days. You can put a smoking craving down immediately. As long as you don't think about it, that's what I was doing. You've got to substitute something to do until the craving goes away. Do the laundry. Meditate ( experience your breath ). Sweep the floor. Take a walk. Eat something. Substitute something! I remember this poem I wrote "I smoke the thought of smoking deep into my lungs." But anyway I'm going to go cold turkey after I sleep Sunday night. Maybe smoke a couple of butts for a couple of days. I'll know in five hours that release, that freedom. So I've got to write a plan and put it up on my marker board.
PLAN:
Stop smoking cigarettes. Stop smoking Sunday night when you go to sleep. Get rid of as many butts as you can on Saturday. Smoke a couple of butts for a few days. WHEN I FEEL LIKE SMOKING I WILL SUBSTITUTE SOMETHING UNTIL THE CRAVING GOES AWAY! Write a poem ( I'll send it to you David ). In five hours I'll feel better, in two days I'll feel MUCH better, and in a week it will be behind me.
IF I HAVE A TRIGGER.
A trigger is not a craving where you want your addiction, a trigger is where something happens. Can you make a joke about this? Oh " --!" Something bad happened! I want cigarettes, I want cigarettes, I want cigarettes ... Anyway, it takes twenty minutes to put a trigger down. I WILL SUBSTITUTE SOMETHING MAJOR TO DO UNTIL IT GOES AWAY.
THE TWO WEEK THING:
In a week or two weeks, what do I do with that thought? I don't know, I'm going to have to consult the Albuquerque Zen Center. Does the reader have any suggestions? IF I HAVE THE THOUGHT THEN I WILL DO SOMETHING FOR TWENTY MINUTES OR FOR AS LONG AS THE THOUGHT GOES AWAY! Maybe that's it. Now all of this goes on my marker - board. And so I leave the reader with a question:
( As a regression ) -- I saw two dawns. I saw TWO DAWNS. The first dawn, when they told me what I could do with my hands, and change things, I stayed up all night listening to their words. There was a DAWN. After the cataclysm we were in our darkest hour, suddenly the clouds parted and there was a DEEP RED DAWN. We knew it was over! We sang with fortitude! We praised God all day! We prayed that it would never happen again, and knew it wouldn't.
I find the pebbles of my mind, and cast them down, down into my mind. They hit the sea and form colors, expanding, expanding into my subconsciousness, in infinite waves they go. Red. Green. Blue. Grey. Gold. Turn green! Turn gold! When the pebbles reach the vastness I can hear sounds, like the waves crashing on the beach, like the air bubbles rising up in the sand as the tide returns. The colors expand in my infinite subconsciousness, like theater curtains on infinity, like the aurora borealis, slowly I let them go.
The cloud in the sky above, do you know it's name? The city twenty miles long, Albuquerque. The Sonoran desert reaches towards infinity, it is growing. I can see it grow. Since everything has energy, everything has a note. Can you hear the song of the desert? I can. I can hear the note of the approaching storm, a thousand miles long, coming from the sea. It is a low note. My mind's eye opens, it slowly opens... --

This is Kevin S. Denney with a personalized Halloween message to David Crosby and the reader. For the sixth year I have experienced giving kids candy in my wonderful home. I am giving you a good - will message. Those people in NY died for our rights. By the fact that those people died for our rights I feel proud. By the fact that those people died for our rights I don't feel bad anymore. The highlight of this wonderful evening was when I kind of told this to a large group of two families. They all said THANK YOU! It's Halloween 365 days a year -- crime. It's Halloween 365 days a year -- road rage. It's Halloween 365 days a year -- 94 Rock. I ask the reader's family to be strong and together we can pull through this. The family as a unit will survive ...

Up, above, in the mountains, there's this field, with all the tall grass growing, golden, reaching towards the sun, gently swaying they flow. And a stream tumbles down, rumbling and tumbling, the notes sound soft and low. With fish swimming in the eddy currents, rumbling and tumbling the waters flow. This is where Tholomus is, this is where she will go. A fisherman casts forth his fly and catches the fish! This is enlightenment, death is enlightenment, Jesus is inside of us high and low. Good bye, wonderful Tholomus, you were beautiful and wonderful, some day I will follow, glory be to your heart and soul!

In Lieu of Stopping Smoking -- Today I am On the Exhaling Breath.
When you are on the exhaling breath, the whole world becomes you. Today I've got the blues, but I'm treating my problems with passive resistance, so things are working out, so I am on the exhaling breath. I suffered through child abuse, I can't remember when I have not been on the exhaling breath. You may call the exhaling breath the wind, but they call the wind mariah. I have come upon a remarkable change since I began meditating outside, I'm more alive and I'm coming out of my shell and I've got a light in my eye. When you meditate outside everything BREATHES, the clouds breathe, the birds breathe, the cars and trucks breathe, the breeze breathes, but what I really enjoyed was when a cloud would slowly let the sun begin shining down below, and you can feel the SUN breathing, that makes me happy.
Sometimes you are on the exhaling breath sometimes you are on the inhaling breath. When you are on the inhaling breath you are becoming the world, instead of the world becoming you. Since I meditate outside, I hope that I become the inhaling breath, so I will become nature. I am becoming the one. I am becoming " -- ." Sometimes you are BOTH the inhaling breath and the exhaling breath, and this makes you feel peaceful and UTTERLY SUBLIME. I hardly know what Shikan - Taza is, but right now it's flowing through me like a river. Which river? The Yukon river.
I must issue an apology to David Crosby, but I'm coming back. When one tries to stop smoking, one can get those two phases in mode only for a short while, and then one has to give up. You can put angst in it and hype it up all you want, but sometimes it fails. Maybe that's the right answer, but it's not. I must issue an apology to David Crosby, each time I failed, each time it was a trigger to him, and it made him feel bad. A trigger is not a craving where you want your addiction, a trigger is where something happens. However, I can tell from that 'pic on this web page that David's got a kind light in his eyes, I know that the river is flowing.
I'm trying to delegate resources to quit smoking cigarettes. I'm in touch with my doctors and they're trying to put me in a "group." I don't know how long this process is going to set - up. But if you love somebody, then set them free. I am coming back to this web - page in the short future.
( David, they can make me immortal, but I would rather die in peace. I almost died once, it took a thousand people to save me. I was in monumental peace. Everything that's alive hates to die, but it's good. I know from holding Tholomus in my arms that it's good. However, I hope they give you that transplant. You are going to live at least another ten years. )
Sincerely Yours,
Kevin Scott Denney Albuquerque New Mexico.

( David's love is so kind -- I'm trying to stop smoking ).
Over the past spring summer and now I have had quite a showing of birds, outside in my back yard enjoying nature. Maybe you'll see some baby birds, I saw fifteen of them in a nearby tree a couple of weeks ago, they were SO happy. I think they came from a cranny in the next house that I didn't tell anybody about. Last summer this songbird sang from sun - up to sun - down fifteen hours a day for two weeks, and then the robins didn't come back no more. Right now it's fall and the robins are feeding on my grape - bush. Maybe a robin will pull out a long worm out of my lawn, they can hear the worm before they feed, and make a worm - sandwich cut across wise in her beak, and look at you and "smile." I've been one with the birds so long that the birds are INSIDE of me. I let all of the birds out of my belly, and let them fly, until there's clouds of them, clouds of them filling the sky.
( Last night I quit smoking cigarettes, to try one more time. ) I'm smoking a few butts today, that's how I start. Due to the past I can keep this up for a week until I want to buy cigarettes. I ask the reader what is David saying? I look inside of myself. If it's too big of a problem for you or you are too busy, then either spend more money or delegate resources. I will reach out when I want to buy cigarettes. I've been smoking less today and already I feel better. David's love is so kind, it fills me with great peace.

Dear David Crosby ( in deep gratitude and thanks )
It is to David Crosby I thank you,
you kept my family together it's true,
you've got candor and patience and grace.
If you love someone then set them free,
and they'll come back soon you'll see,
I haven't quit smoking, but it's written all over my face --
"Well I'm just a soul whose intentions are good, oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood."
Smoking should be treated like a disease,
doing Zen is the pathway towards ease,
I've only been smoking for a week and already I feel sick.
There's something wrong with these 'fags,
smoking cigarettes is a drag,
once again I want to quit.
I passed my inspection last week,
everything works and is clean and sheek,
my house has never looked so good.
That was a small problem this is big,
I want to stop smoking do you dig,
I CAN solve my problems it's understood.
When I was a baby, to whom?
My first thought a candle in the corner of a room,
I've got to once again get two modes in phase.
I'll come back David enough soon,
my first thought a candle in a room,
your love is so kind -- I give you my praise.

The Second Pillar of Zen -- An Age Old Secret -- The Secret of Shikan - Taza.
Last week in Albuquerque New Mexico we got an inch and a half of rain. We got that monsoon like behavior, where a high goes to the east, and wind starts channeling up from the south, and we get moisture from Baha and the Gulf of Mexico. My front and back lawns have never looked better all year. As I recall my experience, I look back to part of that poem I published on this web page "the sound of the drops are the same." The rain is BREATHING when it rains. The drops come down upon my house in a ten thousand note cacaphony, and meld into a sea of wet. A certain Buddhist monk was enlightened upon hearing the sound of the rain on his tin roof. Do you agree with me when I say the rain breathes? EVERYTHING breathes, and you can tell this when you experience your breath outside. Experience your breath. This is the first pillar of Zen.
But what is breath? When you "experience your breath" first upon inhalation it clears you out, and then upon exhalation you let go, and THAT clears you out, and you release endorphins ( emorphins ). Bodhidharma invented this technique in 5 AD. I have been experiencing my breath for ten years. But Bodhidharma invented THREE things, and I am going on to the second step.
The following is technical, I don't know too much what it means. "Each breath has a Father Mother and a child. Sometimes you are the inhaling breath and sometimes you are the exhaling breath. Upon each breath something is borne, it lives and it dies. When you are the inhaling breath you are becoming the world, when you are the exhaling breath the world becomes you." "Manifest the transitions of your breath."
Last year my Zen master put me upon a new meditation to see if I am ready for Shikan - Taza. Shikan - Taza is more of the same. I was put to experiencing my breath with the soles of my feet. I was supposed to realize something. I did. ALL THESE THINGS THAT I AM! I'm a problem to everybody in the world! I suffered through child abuse. Hate is love. I apologize for the inconvenience. Experiencing or following or manifesting the transitions of your breath is called Shikan - Taza. It is more of the same. It makes you realize things about yourself, so you can change. But it goes further.
All of this I was told. The mother is outside of you. When you manifest the transitions of your breath ( making them smooth ) you realize all kinds of things that you are. You get spiritually PREGNANT. After about six months you have a spiritual BABY. ( I want to get a baby doll for Christmas. David do you have any baby dolls? Get baby dolls! ) This sounds strange to me, I'm a male, I don't know what it's like to have a baby. But you have a spiritual baby, it must be taken care of and nourished like a real baby. You have a spiritual baby, which is a wonderful realization. All of this sounds strange to me. On the other hand, you realize all the things that you are, and instead of having babys, other things die. I want my child abuse to die. This is one of the reasons why I started doing Zen.
My faith in Zen carries me to believe that Shikan - Taza is WONDERFUL, just as the last ten years have been. Shikan - Taza is wonderful! Bless my coming meditations!
To David --
"May Buddha Bodhidharma and all the Dharma Watchers bless you. And all the people that meditate. Meditation is the way. You are alive, you are the blessed of creation. Nobody can take this away from you. All wealth joy and peace comes from within. How may a snowflake exist in a raging fire? When the fire is your ego and the snowflake is peace. In all of your walks be true. In all of your walks, bless, bless you."

"This autumn in New Mexico there has been rain. The sound of the drops are the same. The sound of the drops on my awning window's sheen. I stayed up late at night. The sound of the rain was quiet and tight. The notes playing blue and charcoal in it's gleam."
The Zen of the Fall and the Autumn" by the author.
It has been raining all day in Albuquerque New Mexico. It is good to have a home. My cat Lucinda thinks this also. Yesterday the temperature was 95, today it is now 58. A hurricane off Baha pushed the high pressure zone over New Mexico to the east and set up "monsoon season," there is moisture coming up from the south. I hope that high stays there and we have a month of moisture, we need the rain.
During the past month, most of my time has been spent non smoking. It has been since last Thursday since I have had any tobacco. I feel GOOD. I am not coughing anymore, my thoughts are clear. My chest is no longer tight. I have more energy. Bless this state in which I have become! This is the way I want to be. I still have cravings but each time I tell myself "What are you going to write?" I don't really want any tobacco, I want saltpeter or something. I miss some kind of salt. However, this time I feel like pulling through. PULL THROUGH. THIS TIME I FEEL LIKE PULLING THROUGH!
Eight baby inch long flying sparrows in my tree! Overflowing with love and kindness and glee! I will become like SHE and SHE and HE!

"The Zen of the Fall and the Autumn" by the author, Nov. 5 th 2000.
It is almost autumn in New Mexico. Time for celebration and harvest, although now we are in a drought. It's a good time to think old memories and to be with friends. In my new home I don't notice the fall and the winter very much, because it's sunny and I've got wonderful central air, with a very powerful heater in the attic. My old place was too dark. It's fall time to put on a couple of more blankets on my bed, when I go to bed I feel good. To me, to most people that I talk to and know, the autumn is their favorite time of year.
I feel good today, it's another Pleasant Valley Sunday. I feel good not to be smoking. I had a trigger today, but I put it down. I had a trigger and put it down! I feel good that my mind is clear and I can breathe. I feel good that my chest is not so tight. I feel good not to be smoking cigarettes. If I can just put this behind me now, instead of later! I am going to learn Shikan Taza next Thursday. I am getting used to not smoking, and I prefer this is the way I should be. There IS freedom from not smoking. My whole body and mind shimmer with it. There is freedom! There is freedom!

Saturday, I'm feeling pretty good. I'm not smoking. It is now fiesta time in New Mexico. Over the next couple of months a number of communities in New Mexico will have their fiestas. Last Thursday Zozobra ( Old Man Gloom ) burned down in Santa Fe, in fire and a cacaphony of cheers. Yesterday was the opening of The New Mexico State Fair. We are going to have Balloon Fiesta soon in Albuquerque. Time to celebrate a year of growing, although in New Mexico we are in a drought. I want to get three red "ristas" for my house, where they take ripened red chile and make a big cluster of them hanging down, for decoration. I'm glad I'm not smoking this Saturday. I'm jones'n a little bit but not much. It's worse at night. I feel like I have most of this behind me.
I've got a housing inspection coming up. Yesterday I cleaned out my garage, taking all the junk out and rearranging and dusting the shelves and sweeping the floor. Today it's my living room, move all the furniture and sweep, cleaning the carpet with "Oxi - Clean" and a rag. I'm looking forward to that, it's relatively dirty.
And so I am well on the road towards not smoking. This is the way I want to be. I have few cravings and I'm glad to not be smoking.
"I'm so glad, I'm so glad, I'm glad I'm glad I'm glad. It's a GOOD feelin' to know ( somebody loves you )."

"Back in my old place spring Tholomus and I went outside. It was 3:30 in the morning, the moon was shrouded in clouds to hide. It was snowing and the snow was dancing on the flowers where it stood. In all of it's clarity and quiet and it's good.
Suddenly it became the most quiet that I have ever heard. Tholomus was sniffing the air, the quiet spoken word. The infinite shimmering silence that it became. What was his face? What is his name?"
Boy, I sure do feel GUILTY by smoking those cigarettes yesterday. Today I smoked a few left - over butts this morning ( that's how I like to start ), and I feel MUCH better. Like silence there is a silence and freedom in my mind, nothing, nothing but sticks of gossamer going back to nothing. I DO want to stop smoking. I feel better now. If you waver from your path, just pick up where you left off again. I don't feel like smoking any cigarettes. Like my poem about silence non smoking is within me, and it's actually desirable. There is a freedom in the self and thought and your soul by not smoking cigarettes. There is great FREEDOM. I have found the way!

David -- I Ask You Permission.
"If it's a real problem stand up tall. Nip it in the bud I tell you all. You may have to compromise and be good. The way will become clearer. The solution to become nearer. When you are done it will be all that you could."
We are all human beings. We are all sentiment beings. We all suffer. I bought a couple of cigarettes today, and I am suffering. I was supposed to STOP smoking. If you want to find about me then read the book "Of Crime and Punishment" by Fyordor Dostoyevski, where there were certian people in jail that shouldn't be there, I suffered through child abuse. By the same book it is proven that "hate is love." David proved this too! I say this now! Hate is love!
This is a REAL problem to me. I can't breathe, my chest is tight, I behave habitually, my thoughts are in disorder, everything is wrong by smoking cigarettes! I want to quit tomorrow!
To David Crosby. I want to use this web - site as a sounding board to quit smoking, my resources are limited. We all can have the power of writing within us. I'm asking your permission ( stopping smoking is good ). I will write my cravings and triggers, just like before, I will try to be MOST poetic. With David's infinite patience and candor "Thank you."

Happy Labor Day -- The Compressor Man.
"Silence is a thing people die for. To fight for peace is the first and ultimate door. There's been dogs and airplanes and stereos and cars. Let silence be a thing for battle and for wars."
-- A Poem to the Silence and the Quiet, by the author.
"If it's a real problem stand up tall. Nip it in the bud I tell you all. You may need to compromise and be good. The way will become clearer. The solution to become nearer. When you are done it will be all that you could."
-- Bodhidharma's Sword, by the author.
Happy Labor Day -- it's the compressor man with his six foor high compressor two thousand dollars in his back yard making ALL KINDS of noise. The Environmental Health Department is going to deal with him tomorrow. They've already told him the ways in which it's illegal. If it comes to it, they're going to take it away in a TRUCK!
However, this is not a trigger to me, I quit smoking two weeks ago and it's been enough time that I don't feel like smoking. It's Labor Day and I'm down, but I just accept that and go on like it is. I'll go buy a "Slurpee." ( It 's better than drinking beer. ) And so I say "Happy Labor Day" to all. In any case I'm not smoking, and it's Labor Day, so I should celebrate. Silent victories come from within. Happy Labor Day everybody!

I was young, but now I'm old.
The story has yet to be told.
It sure is strange to behold.
That I'm indeed "King of the Road."
Why? Because I ain't got no cigarettes. It's been more than a week since I've had ANY tobacco, and I still feel like smoking some. In the same time I have not gone to buy any, I realize that my will must be stronger now than when I quit.
Ever since I moved here, in my beautiful sunny home, for five years, there's been a humming bird in the sunset. There's a humming bird that likes to sit at my tree every day and looks at the sunset. For five years. It's always there. She likes to look at the sunset and pray to God, to thank him for life, and to thank him for living another day. I can hear the humming bird's prayers in my sleep and when I meditate. We are all children of God. The humming bird likes to look at the sunset. The colors of the sunset shine in my eyes, red, orange, yellow, purple, gray, gossamer, gold. All of the humming birds in Albuquerque go south for the winter on the SAME day. I let all the birds out of my belly, and let them fly, they go as I breathe, with bated breath, until clouds of them fill the sky. They all say the same thing. I want to stop smoking.
Sunday comes around, it's another "Pleasant Valley Sunday." It's been two weeks since I have smoked a cigarette. I still feel like smoking, but my will not to smoke is strong within me. I've got a housing inspection coming up, so I'm glad I got this behind me now, I'm glad that I did, instead of then. I want not smoking to last a long time. Please ( I pray ) stop smoking cigarettes. I stoke the fire deep within my heart. My will must be stronger than before.

... winchester cathedral ...
... you're bringing me down ...
... i'm a man of means by no means ...
... king of the road ...
Why? Because "I ain't got no cigarettes." It's been almost a week before I've had any tobacco, even then it was just a few butts. Everything is so new that it's hard to think what it is. But I've got to learn to control my thoughts. This smoking cigarettes -- make it into a long time. ( I pray. ) Make it into a long time. And so my chiming clock chimes "ding dong ding dong" four.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yesterday I had a bender of a tobacco craving, it was a rainy day and I was hungry. "Go over to the store and buy some cigarettes." So I eat dinner feel sleepy and crash early. I notice that I'm jones'n' a little while. That is the topic of today. What can I do with impulsive thoughts?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Having cravings are natural, having thoughts are natural. It's natural to have a tobacco craving like that. It's getting towards the end, towards zero. Today I feel better and get a cherry Slurpee, no tobacco. They're the ones with throat freeze, stomach freeze, and brain freeze. Once again, I feel like "King of the Road."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Night time, there's that tobacco craving. It's worse at night. "You are going towards zero, the log goes down fast." I'm still not smoking cigarettes. Time to finish watering my back lawn and crash an hour early, as before. I'm not going to buy any cigarettes. My will to smoke must be stronger now than a week and a half ago, when I quit. I dig into a trench and hitch my self up by the boot - straps. My will must be stronger than before -- my will must be stronger than before -- my will must be stronger than before.

"Saturday -- I Quit Smoking Cigarettes!"
Saturday, it's Saturday, Saturday has come onto me. I take a shower and shave and put on my Roy Orbison glasses. Today I've got company coming over, and he's a non - smoker. Usually I air out my house before he comes, even in the wintertime, But not now. I haven't had any tobacco for three days and I don't feel any withdrawal symptoms anymore. I quit smoking! I quit smoking! Now I AM king of the road. ( Hey hey get out of my way -- I quit smoking in the USA. ) I quit smoking cigarettes!
However, I know the road is not over. If I feel like buying a pack of cigarettes either tomorrow today or now, I will battle out my thoughts on this web - page.
And now a word of "thanks" to my co - compatriot.
David Crosby I thank you. Your plight has inspired to do a great thing. Don't ( I pray ) smoke cigarettes anymore! Thank you David for keeping my family together. Thank you for harmony and rhyme. Thank you David for being with me during my plight. Thank you David I pray you live at least ten years that you get that liver transplant and are happy content and well. Thank you for the faith!

Tell me, what will the author get as a reward for saving money by not smoking cigarettes? I haven't bought any for a week, so I've saved thirty dollars. I stopped smoking for a month so there's already money saved from that. I already got my reward. I got a shimmering gossamer stained - glass standing genuine Dale Tiffany lamp, and a Country Faire 28" two drawer master red - oak nightstand, both for my computer room. The Tiffany lamp is beautiful off and on, with turquoise blue white sky blue red opal green blue yellow orange and red stained glass. The stained glass shade is a pyramid design of an Indian Zia symbol that blesses the room. That and my red - oak nightstand, there's four pieces of oak here in my computer room, so my Master Nightstand is a welcome addition. I've got oak drawers!
But I'm glad, but I'm glad, I'm glad I'm glad I'm glad. It's another Pleasant Valley sunday. Lazy days lazy days lazy days for me and you. Time to go troppo. ( I'm not going troppo, I've GONE troppo. ) In any case I haven't smoked for three days, then just a couple of butts, the tables have turned. I don't feel like smoking, and I don't want any cigarettes. I'm just barely jones'n.' No cigarettes today and wait for tomorrow.

I wake up and drink coffee outside, and there's a bunch of Jay birds in my trees. There's ALL KINDS of birds at my place, but when I was a kid there were more. Ever since I was at my old place and got my lawn, I've been feeling birds in my belly. Now even more in my new place, five years, there's a lot more space. The birds are in my belly! The birds are in my belly! I open up and let out all these birds, into the sky, until there's clouds of them. They all say the same thing. I want to be a non smoker.
In any case I haven't smoked anything for two days, and before that it was just a couple of butts. I eat lunch and feel like "King of the Road" because ( I ain't got no cigarettes ). I don't feel like smoking anymore. I'm just barely jones'n.' I can breathe better, it's more deep. I'm not coughing. I have more energy and my thoughts are clearer. All as the result of not smoking.

The stars still twinkling,

Hey man, I don't get up THAT early in the morning. That's when you got to go to a job. I'm taking a couple of years off work to study Buddhism. In any case I have slept a long time, I don't feel like smoking any butts ( not that there are any ). The sky in ABQ is cloudy today. It starts to rain on me when I am drinking coffee. I see fifteen or so of these little inch and a half long baby sparrow birds in a neighbor's tree, the subject of poems. I feel like I have put something behind me. I reached the top of the mountain last night when I slept, it's all downhill from here. However, a voice inside of me says "What am I doing here?" So I say "Do you want to stop?" "No!" I feel good today. Something's been put behind me, I don't know what it is.

Second Day.
Today I do the same thing, I smoke a few butts in the morning. I'm running out of butts. This one time in my front yard it was covered with an inch of snow frozen dew and ice, so I put on my swimming trunks and ROLLED in it. About twenty minutes later, I could FEEL the earth turning. This is the way I want to feel, not -- smoking. Everything comes from nothing, so I want not smoking to come to me ( David I just sent you the whole universe ). When you whave the path, just pick up again when you were starting off. A couple of butts is not much tobacco, but it's better than smoking a pack. If I crash early and I sleep tonight, by the time I wake up I will have put a major dent in this. Don't smoke any more today.

Oh yea, since the two phases are in gear then I've got to make a means to an end. I've got to get rid of my butts. ( Smoking really is nuts, I've got to get rid of these butts. ) I put all my butts in a bag and take them over to my Parent's house. My Mom is sweet, she gives me a hug and says "Stop smoking." Already I feel better. Now instead of having a craving and smoking a butt, I can put the craving down. My clock winds Winchester "ding dong," four o'clock.
I want to stop smoking my will is strong. Let's see this to the end everlong. Put these cravings down while you go! It is to hope and to hold and to experience and to know.

"Getting the Two Phases in Mode."
Dear Reader:
My friends have advised me to make some straignt ( manuscript ) poems.
This morning when I woke up something had changed, but I didn't feel right. My chiming clock was unwound, maybe that's it. In any case I go outside and drink coffee, there's a Robin there feeding on the grapes and worms. Do you want to stop smoking today? Anxiety. I smoke a couple of butts to keep me warm.
Then I eat lunch and reason finally comes over me. I've got to get two phases in mode. I don't want to smoke cigarettes, and when I want to then do something until the craving goes away. I go now and wind the three springs of my chiming clock, eversteady, the subject of poems. It goes "ding dong" in a cacaphony of crystal voices. "I want to quit smoking! That non - smoker inside of you, he's like YOU! Don't smoke no more! According to the principle of the hypotenuse of the obblongotta -- don't smoke!" And so I wait until the anxiety goes away, until I feel better, once you reach the top of the mountain then it goes down from there. When I feel better then maybe I can put all this behind me.

Dear David Crosby ( in sincere gratitude and thanks ):
A month ago I quit smoking, do you know? But now I'm smoking again, I went through a hole.
David I'm sorry, but don't have a fit, my faith remains, I want to quit. There's really no point in it. Sorry means the same as " -- ."
This smoking cigarettes, I hate it, it's white. When I cough I feel like I'm dying, and my chest, it's tight. Take these cigarettes and let them go! I'm going to stop smoking tomorrow, win place or show.
I'll stop smoking cigarettes when I go to bed tonight. I'll have a head start for tomorrow's fight. When I feel like smoking I'll substitute something until it goes. I want to stop smoking! From my head to my toes!
And so to this page I dedicate this poem. I will write down my path in my beautiful home. I will use this as a sounding board, it's true. David I believe in love, I love you, I love you.

David I have been a fan and a believer since a friends band "The Blessed" opened for you and "The Byrds" at "The Unicorn" in Boston in 1967.
More recently you chose me to select the first song when you and Graham played "The Music Tent" in Cohasset Ma. I chose"Delta".
Back to the future.
I , along with a lot of other dedicated people am working hard to get a real humanitarian, former U.S. Secretary of Labor in the Clinton Administration, Bob Reich elected Governor of our state, Ma.
I made an amateur video, with an opening montage of campaign rallying, fading in with a loud "Stand and Be Counted". WOW!!
It is amazing to see how the message moves all of the college kids that are getting involved with the campaign.
Thank You.
I have entered the web page for anyone who might be interested in our campaign. Thank You Again Jerry Goulart

Hey David,
Was listening to old tunes tonite, from the 4 CD set, Another Stoney Evening, etc. And, have a question to ask. What do you think about our people in the military today? My son is in the Navy, & I am very proud of him. And, after Sept 11th, I would love to here a song from you as good as Lee Shore (my all time favorite), Delta, Used to be a King, etcetcetc!! I know you haven't always agreed with what is going on in OUR country, & I have always respected that & still loved your tunes (& I'm a nuc). But, you are the best, & times change, so how bout a tune for our guys out there giving their lives, good times & all for us???? Too much to ask? I hope not!!! You have always been for what is right in our country, good times & bad. And you have written some of the best tunes I have ever heard, and I hope you continue. I know you are getting to be an old fart (I'm smiling real big), but you are still da best (like in Da Bears) (guess where I'm from). But, I'm out here in Washington state now (beautiful, great area) and would truly like for the best of your life (even better than Lee Shore) to hear what we are striving for now. Peace, life, and good tunes for all. So, what do you think????? Got one more GREAT one in ya?? I'm sure you do, probably 2-30 more.
So, sorry to put the shit on you (not that it would ever matter). But, time to put the past behind & stand up (more important, sing/write up) for us, our sons & daughters, and our way of life which has been pretty great for all of us!!
An all time fan and I haveloved your music over the years!

Can you route this to David? I'm a 50 year old carreer wife and mother who has NEVER written a letter to a celebrity in my life -- until now. I BEG you to please read and give this letter consideration -- and I would not normally do that to save even my own life. But it's not my life I NEED and BEG your help to save -- it's my friend long-time citizen of St. Charles, MO -- and a finer, sweeter, kinder woman you will never meet. Of course, that is, if you ever get the opportunity to meet her.
You see, Karen is dying of liver failure and related complications. Because both of you have suffered from similar liver conditions and situations, I thought you could find the compassion to help us in our plight. Karen is in her second week at the St. Louis University ICU and our time is running very short to save her life. Karen is only 46 years old ... she'll be 47 in August if she lives that long.
Let me give you some background. Karen was born and raised in St. Charles, MO. When Karen was a very young girl, she had an undiagnosed illness that kept her in the hospital for many weeks during which time she received several blood transfusions. It wasn't until two years ago that Karen was diagnosed with Hepatitis C. Unfortunately, it had already caused cirrhosis of the liver, and she was progressing very fast.
Karen was fortunate enough to receive the same treatment as you, Naomi, from the doctors at St. Louis University. Unfortunately, it did NOT work for Karen and her disease progressed to blood vessel weakening, blood leakages, and severe swelling causing considerable pain. Karen took it like a trooper and never complained. She was hoping and praying (as were we all) to be put on the liver transplant list. She first had to go into liver failure, which she has, yet she is not quite on the list due to funding.
The liver transplant costs approximately $750,000. Their insurance will cover approximately $250,000. The hospital has not yet determined what portion they may cover, nor have they notified the family of their financial responsibility. While not wealthy people, the family members all own homes and are all willing to re-mortgage to provide the needed funding. We have also scheduled a benefit for September. Again, we just aren't sure we have the time.
Two weeks ago, Karen suffered a stroke. She was taken to SLU ICU where it was determined she had a blood vessel leaking into her brain stem. Her blood count is too low for surgery of any kind. She has since developed pneumonia. Yesterday, she suffered another stroke. Each one is more debilitating. She is partially paralyzed and having difficulty with speech. The doctors feel this damage is still reversible if something could be done soon -- but it comes back to getting her blood up -- but more, it comes down to getting her a liver.
One visit to St. Charles from either or both of you to provide a benefit performance could easily bring in enough money to ensure the hospital has no more indecision about putting Karen on the transplant list. And then, God willing and all of us praying, perhaps they can build her up enough to survive the transplant that may save her life.
Please, please, please ... I'll make any arrangements, provide any services, and owe you a debt of gratitude I will never be able to repay -- but please, consider a quick one-day stop in St. Charles, MO -- with your fame and influence, I believe we could pull something together quickly enough to possibly save Karen's life.
Karen is my ex-sister-in-law -- in the 25 years since I divorced her brother, we have remained friends -- I believe that speaks volumes of her character -- a friend through thick and thin. I hope I can be her friend through the very thinnest now by pleading for your help.
My home phone is 636-922-1554, my work phone is 314-496-6025. I can be reached at almost any time, day or night, and an answering machine is always available. I pray to hear something from you or your representatives. I know you can understand the fear and worry Karen and her family are going through. But on our own, we just don't have what it takes to make things like this happen quickly enough. Again, and I promise for the last time, I'm begging you to help!
Most sincerely,
Mary Brokaw 1060 Drexel St. St. Charles, MO 63303

Dear David Crosby ( in sincere gratitude and thanks ):
It's been seven days since I took to my task.
I quit smoking, that's what I thought he asked.
It's a lovely Saturday afternoon and I don't need cigarettes anymore.
That's what thoughts and music and prayer are for.
I quit smoking on a Saturday afternoon!
The river is flowing, by a slow nameless tune.

Evening cravings second day:
Last night I knew that I was going to have urges but I didn't have any, I feel asleep.
----------------------------------------------------
Third Morning June 12
"Once you reach the top of the mountain, it goes down from there." I reached the top last night when I slept. Cravings are less. Urges ( where your muscles want nicotine ) are less. Had a trigger with my Mom ( she's so sweet and innocent ), she was washing her hair. Took twenty minutes of coffee and outside vibes to go away. And so I summarize:
( 1 ) Cravings -- they can be put down immediately. Substitute something.
( 2 ) Urges -- for me it takes twenty minutes the second day and five minutes the third day. Substitute something that takes that long.
( 3 ) Triggers -- twenty minutes. Do something until it goes away.
Third day I crossed the mountain last night so I don't FEEL like smoking a cigarette anymore. Just be cool for a little while more and I'll be free!

Day Two -- The Keeper of the Fire.
This morning I woke up feeling addiction from my muscles, every cell in my body wanted a cigarette.
I found one in the morning and one in the afternoon ( sorry ). I've run totally out of tobaccco. This stick does not have to lead to war ( in the zen sense ). On one side of the stick is love and on the other side of the stick is love! I've cut my addiction twenty times.
I'm going to continue tonight and tomorrow until I can get rid of cigarettes.
Keeper of the fire, make your flame white hot. Don't smoke with all you've got. Don't smoke tonight or tomorrow. By my fire you will see the light to follow!
I'll write before I go to bed.

When I wake up that coffee, I want to smoke. Kevin -- NOT smoking and drinking coffee, you haven't done that for a couple of years, it would be something new to you. I drink the coffee and the craving goes away looking at the birds feed on my lawn.
My Mom calls on the telephone and gives me attention and thoughts. Attentions over so wouldn't it be good to smoke a cigarette? I don't have any, so I let it go.
Oh yea, take some vitamin C.
Kevin, it's been an hour and a half and I already feel benefits from non - smoking. I'm not coughing and weezing and hacking my lungs out and my body is clearer, my thoughts are clearer and my mind is clearer. Already what I feel now is more desirable and is a greater desire than smoking cigarettes.
My good brother calls me for support. I haven't had any tobacco to report. He says my voice sounds good. When I read my poems my voice will sound much better now.

Prelude:
I'm using this poem to stop smoking cigarettes over david crosby.com as a tribute to david, to show others openly how they can let go of addictions, and to give myself attention as a sounding board.
----------------------------------------------------
Oh Keeper of the fire, what is this you've become? You are strong in my heart, stronger than none. It is to you that I give this poem. I'm going to stop smoking cigarettes by you in my home.
What exactly is a Keeper of the fire? A million years of letting time expire. They keep the energy of the enlightened soul. They guard over you and know you and keep you whole.
The Buddha keepers are highly ordained. It is because of them that there is change. Oh keeper! Stoke the fire in my heart! Make cigarettes go away, take this apart!
And so I stoke the fire until it is white hot! I'll stop tomorrow after sleeping with all I've got! When you feel like smoking substitue something until the craving goes away! You'll see the dawn of dew and flowers and a sunny day!
Oh fire, I want feel believe you and need you. You are one and you are strong and you belong and you are true. When I need a cigarette I will write this along. A stanza to write, a thought and then a poem.

Dear David Crosby ( in gratitude and thanks ):
David's got a bad liver, another ten years I pray. What are your instructions? I thought I heard him say. "Stop smoking cigarettes" it's tantamount true. I'm going to stop smoking David, by the poems I give you.
And this, have you heard? You can't stop the spoken word. I'm a poet, with rhyme and rhythm. I'm using this as a sounding board, for myself attention.
I know this, I've stopped smoking before. Start when you go to bed, and get through that door. When you feel like smoking substitute something to do! The craving will go away and carry you through.
And from experience, do you ask? How long do you have to wait to relax? You can take care of a cigarette craving as fast as they come! Substitute something until you are done.
I'm going to stop smoking Sunday night, David the poems will carry me through. "The Keeper of the Fire" the fire in my heart it's true. My name's Kevin the two phases are in gear. Substitute things for cravings, go cold turkey around here.
"Oh fire, this I start! Take smoking away from my heart! Stoke the fire until you are free! Oh the benefits the benefits you will see!

YUCCA MOUNTAIN NUCLEAR WASTE DUMP: What else can you do with nuclear waste?
TO: David Crosby,
Thank you for your stand against the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste dump. Please see the Roy Process web site below. **************** Imagine a UFO in a hundred years flying over the earth. It sees all the oceans choked with vegetation and on land, a writhing tangle of mutant life. Over the horizon it sees a plume of radioactive jetsom, coming from Yucca mountain and others across the planet. This may be our legacy.
There IS a viable, cost effective alternative to burying high level nuclear waste. Dr. Radha R. Roy, professor of physics emeritus, Arizona State University, released the Roy Process to the press in 1979. See original AZ Republic newspaper story on this web site: http://members.cox.net/theroyprocess
High level nuclear waste can be transmuted into non-radioactive elements on site, using existing infrastructure, commercially available machinery and current supporting technology. In addition, as the treated isotopes rapidly decay into stable elements, heat is produced, which can make steam to power the existing electric generators at each nuclear power plant where nuclear waste is stored in cooling ponds. Dr. Roy estimated costs in 1979 at $80 million dollars to construct the Roy Process pilot facilities and should take three years to complete.
Transmutation would also guarantee international security by eliminating bomb grade elements.
There are several touted transmutation methods. There is a neutron method that only partially reduces half-life, creates more nuclear waste to be buried for an uncertain future. The Roy Process uses photons and with repeated treatments will transmute plutonium into non-radioactive lead.
Nevertheless, politics has put this important new science in limbo. The future of all life on earth is at stake.
Sincerely Yours,
Dennis F. Nester

The Zen of the Fall and the Autumn.
I was young, but now I'm old. The story has yet to be told. I have seen many autumns with yellow leaves they go. It's flowing through my body like dreams! All this Zen going by it's means! The Zen of the fall is vast and good to know.
You see I experience my breath. The energies rise up and then go west. I am close to this and I can see all the same. All of this Zen in the air! The leaves blowing in the wind without a care! I will write about this now, in lady nature's name.
Do you see the ice crystals begin to form? They've got their own music - "tinkling tinkle" - more by the storm. My home is warm and it's where I belong and it's bright. But the music in your mind and the window - seal. The ice crystals form and then you slowly heal. I can see lights form into them -- long into the night.
The clouds this afternoon were so grey and tall! A nip in the air unmistakably it's fall. I feel so very ALIVE you see! The tall grey clouds and the wind and the snow. Nothing looks the same in this place you know. I'm alive in this miniscule part as -- me.
I remember as a child. The fall would come in from the wild. I would bundle up and try to stay warm. To sit at my parent's home in front of the heat. To fall asleep in a single heart - beat. All those falls form a link to me under the storm.
I remember as a child the leaves on the ground. Do you remember that crumpling sound? The leaves would crumble and break before my feet. This is what I remember the best. To swish through the leaves' yellowness. Swishing through the leaves, the cold outside to beat.
In the fall everything is dying. To grow anew in the spring sun - shining. Maybe now that's why everything is Zen. To die in the peace of the fall. To rise up and to be part of it all. This is known to everything -- not only to men.
This autumn in New Mexico there has been rain. The sound of the drops are the same. The sound of the rain on my awning's window sheen. I stayed up late at night. The sound of the rain was quiet and tight. The notes playing blue and charcoal in it's gleam.
And here's to meditation and the wall. Spirits moving through my body in front of it all. Everything washes away and becomes anew. The autumn's halls are so vast! A grey - blue sky giant and cloudy to cast. I hold onto it and it loves me through!
And so, I make with my mind! An autumn spectacle in the wind -- the leaves following behind. With horses and riders and trumpets ablazing. I make them go down the street! The autumn will make them complete! They're riding in the night in front of the moon aglazing.
See the horses ride! Jumping to and fro with pride! They call your name out into the night. In the wind they seem. The leaves behind them blowing with gleam. They hold your dreams and make them turn right.
The riders of the horses with whips cracking! Ride on! The hooves under them tracking. We are the spirits of all the autumns to the past. When you see us take heed. Keep your dreams alive -- it's what you need. Keep your dreams alive, the autumn spirit loves you to the last.

i really want to go see csn&y at the Pepsi center in denver,co. so i went to go purchase tickets at ticketmaster.com. do you realize that there is almost $20 in service fees for a ticket? ticketmaster charges $12, then there is some $3.75 service fee, then there is a $4 building fee. the cheap seats go for $40 which would make the service charges %50 of the ticket price!!!!???? what the hell is wrong with this picture??? i wanted better seats, $86, but the actual money out of pocket would be $105. i'm having difficulty deciding between the chance of a lifetime to see the concert or refusing to pay someone to sell me a ticket on principle. i am sending this letter to clearchannel, ticketmaster, and will try to get it to crosby, stills, nash, and young. in good conscience i cannot pay you to attend this concert. i think this act is a disgrace to the artist's and a disservice to the music. you will have to do some major convicing if you want me to believe that you need $20 in service fees to sell a ticket.

DEAR, DAVID My name is Jim Glazier, from 4308 42 AVE. #20 Rock MTN.. House Alberta, Canada . And I need the help of someone with great influence over people and the resources to convince people they can protect there property. I am not trying to get a hand out, but perhaps some kind of business venture where we both can make money. I have been interested in vehicle security since 1997. I get sick when I hear of peoples property stolen , damaged , and even lives lost from such a preventable problem as car theft. I have looked at many vehicle security devices and there weakness, and endeavored to build a device that is easy to install and also user friendly, and very difficult to remove. I have built prototypes, and have used one on my vehicle for three years even in big cities, and always felt comfortable that my car would always be there where I parked it. I also installed one on an old truck in an auto wreaker and it took three big men 4min. 56 seconds to remove it, only by braking the floorboard because of too ridged a base. This has since been redesigned to be flexible. It was encouraging to see one person could not remove it. It is loose enough installed, that it cannot be cut with a hacksaw, since it is made with good strong steel. The lock cannot be frozen because it is incased with steel and a small air space. These men ! tried with hammers and feet to remove it and only exhausted themselves. Since joy rides and theft of vehicles for the purpose of committing a crime are the main reasons for general auto theft, I know this will be a very good and secure type of vehicle theft deterrent. I have a U.S. patent and applied for an international patent with the help of a company in Ireland, who have done up for me a confidential research report, on North America, and Europe and are at this time trying to find manufactures all around the world that would be interested in building this device that I call "Brake Lock. There is some simple electronics that serve as a trade mark, as well as takes care of the brake light problem. I recently have had interest from England and Illinois and hope to get a positive response from them. Auto theft is a huge problem everywhere. I know it will make a difference. But it will only make a difference if people will use it. If I could give you more information that might convince you, perhaps you may be interested in being a part of this venture. .P lease, if you want more information or have questions please get in touch with me at my E-Mail address ( cadillacjim @msn.com) Thank you, I look forward to hearing from you .

Dear Mr. Crosby, I have tried many ways to get this letter to you. I hope it finds its way to you this time. We all watched in horror and grief as our world changed from a reasonably safe place to a place of terror. We gathered. In large and small circles and churches and some even alone. We gathered to pray and grieve and find safe haven for our frightened souls. We have shown courage and inspired peace and justice and balance. I was thinking a few weeks ago of what I could do to help the situation even more and I came up with an idea. I shared it with a friend or two (other drummers) and it took off.
There is a fund raiser scheduled for November 10. It is called "Drum Jam America". We need volunteers to help organize as well as work during the day of this event. We need entertainers willing to give a performance or two. If you feel strongly about continuing to support the relief efforts, please join with us in making this happen. I realize there is not much time, but in our eyes, continuing to keep the nation's people involved is very important. the memories of that dreadful day will sooner pass into history than the time it takes to remedy the loss.
The response has been amazing. The city of Redlands, the Red Cross and various other organizations are behind us now and it looks like this will be a wonderful event as well as prolong help for those in need, here in our own communities as well as in New York, Washington D.C. and Pennsylvania. I'm worried about this war and considered canceling, but I am looking at it as something that will place peace in minds that might be thinking about how war is good. I decided to continue with this project..
We need all kinds of support. So I am asking you too. I know you are busy people, I am as well, but this is an important cause that we can do something about, doing what we do. Make music and teach love and good will. Im not asking you to fly out here if you are not scheduled to, but if you are here in Southern California and can spend at least part of the day in Redlands, we would love to have you perform or maybe offer a mini "signing" where the proceeds can be donated. Also if you could spread the word and help me to spread the word, we need people to come out to this event too. I know you know so many people that are in the profession, perhaps they could perform? We have called the event "Drum Jam for America" but there is so much more to it! I am a hand percussionist and violinist. What a mix, eh? but I love what I do. I will be doing what I love, helping people to find peace within themselves, raising funds to help those in need, and banging on my drums! finally- This show of terrorism is not something that happened in a day or a few weeks... it took a great deal of time to become the great gaping wound that it is. It will not be healed in a few short days or weeks. I encourage you to pace yourself in the work that you do, that we all do. Thanks so much for reading my letter and considering this. I look forward to your reply. yours in peace, Susannah Faith, Rev., Spiritual Coach, drummer themuse@empirenet.com

Dear Mr. Crosby:
As a longtime admirer of your work, I was delighted a few years ago to meet a fellow at a spa in Solvang who said that he was working on a book about your concerts for social causes. Then, sometime later, I read that the book had been released. I wish I had gone ahead and purchased a copy at that time. Now, for a variety of reasons, I am on a search to find your book, because I want to share the ideas with some folks who are looking for a worthy mission and focus for some socially responsible activities in the music world. From everything I heard about the book, it would be a superb handbook. I have searched the Internet, Amazon.com, and even tried our local SB Chaucer's, thinking you may have done a book signing there. But no luck. Can you tell me if the book is still in print, and if not, does your co-author still live in the Valley, because I might be able to borrow a copy from him. I KNOW that there is important information that would be a great help to the folks who I am hoping to move into a vision of some "socially activist media." I hope you will get this message, and will be so very grateful for any guidance you can share with me to track this one down. Something you might like to know, being a Valley resident, is that a fine team has finally come on board to bring beautiful Zaca Lake into a new future as a sacred site and place for wonderful events, which can, of course, include benefit concerts. Hope you will go up and check it out, and consider being part of the community of those who want to see it be the best it can be. Thanks in advance for any guidance you can give me as to how to get my hands on your book! Blessings, and thanks for all that you do for the world. ajn

Dear David: A few months ago my wife and I were watching some cable channel that showed a biography on your life. We were very happy to see that things have gone so well for you since the mid-80's...a time when you had definitely hit a very low point. It was back in 1985 -- or '86 -- when we met you at Conrad & Annie's house in Novato - Marin County. At the time I was bringing back some things from Asia and Conrad was one of my "distributors." My wife & I were at their house doing business and other things when you showed up. I believe you took a cab up from Mill Valley. Conrad introduced us and you came into the back room where we (my wife, Chitta & I and Conrad and Annie) were speedballing. You purchased something and then asked if someone would "do you." My wife got everything ready and you put a pile into the spoon. She thought it was too much so she took some out, but when she turned around for a moment you put more back in. She drew it up, you presented your arm, and next thing we knew it had hit you and your head went back, lips turned blue and face turned gray. You were gone. Immediately Conrad and Annie began freaking out. They were runnning around crazy saying, "he can't die in our house - we have to get him out of here - what if the cops come - they'll take Logan (their son who was sleeping in the front room) and put him in a foster home and all of us will go to jail." My wife and I were experienced in the matter of overdoses so we calmed Connie & Annie down and immediately began the drill of keeping you alive. An OD is simply respiratory failure. You got so loaded, your pulse was so slowed down, that you forgot to breathe. We had to jumpstart your respiratory system to keep your heart beating. We gave you CPR, walked you around, briskly massaged your feet and hands and even placed ice on your testicles to stimulate your system. After around an hour of this you finally began to come around. Once you were conscious you began to worry about the time and said you needed to call your girlfriend. I brought you the phone and dialed the number, but you kept lapsing into a nod so I held the receiver up to your ear and kept shaking you. When she answered you turned to me and whispered, "what sould I tell her?" I said to say you were okay, you were running late, and you'd see her soon ... and that you loved her. You were repeating word for word what I was telling you to say and after hanging up you told me "I don't think I ever told her I loved her until just now." Anyway, we drove you back to Mill Valley and met Jan in town. You guys were having your car worked on by some kid mechanic you told me was willing to trade work for guitar lessons. By then it was around 2AM and the Mill Valley cops pulled us over. After checking my license and registration they let us go and we drove up to your house. Your place was being remodeled or something and you were staying in a loft temporarily. You took us up there and began making us Schraft chocolate milkshakes - one after another. We talked until dawn and then said our goodbyes and after exchanging phone numbers we left. So why am I, after all these years, writing you this letter and reminding you of that fateful night? Because after watching that show and seeing how much you've been relishing your life and how gracefully you are heading into your senior years, I wanted to remind you - and myself as well - just how precious and precarious life is in this world. Just imagine if you would have died that night - all that you would have missed out on. I also came close to dying when I OD'd 1/1/90 - only to be saved by paramedics who were, thank goodness, close by. Now I'm enjoying watching my children become adults and I have three grandkids. Life is good - or as good as it gets. So I hope you receive this and hey - I'm not expecting a response. I just wanted to give you some food for thought that just may enhance your appreciation for every breath you take and every moment your alive. Take care of yourself. God bless you. ---- Sincerely, your ever well-wisher, Steve H.

Message from Kevin S. Denney of Albuquerque New Mexico. Albuquerque New Mexico home of the flea, land of the plague. Ten miles to water. One house to hell.
Just wanted to chain E - mail some poems on my web site.
http://wanspages.prodigy.net/ksdenney
Wishing you well and good health.
Bodhidharma's Sword.
In the days before old. The story began to be told. A man meditated straight for forty years. He was enlightened by the morning star suddenly. In the year 625 BC. He felt so much joy it brought him to tears.
Then there's the four Patriarchs strong. They followed Buddha all along. They too were enlightened the immortal way. The third cut off his arm. The fourth Patriarch his leg off ( no harm ). They founded a world's religion on this day.
Six hundred years passed. There were councils and questions were asked. Bodhidharma invented Zen in 5 AD. There was still meditation here. But experiencing your breath was new and clear. I fell in love with the process and it is now me.
But just what is Bodhidharma's sword? It is your problems cast off by the Lord. I will write about this now today. There's a lesson to be learned. The gold in your heart to be earned. Just the act of meditating and the sword casts away!
The first time I did Zen. Twenty minutes of my mind to bend. My soul was instantly and immortally changed. I became smoother and slowed down. Being blessed by Bodhidharma's crown. I started coming out of my cage -- rearranged.
But I'm going to say this now. Your problems can overtake your brow. Hold on to them and you're in jail they say. Your problems aren't REAL. Come out of this wax and seal. When you meditate your problems go away.
How do your problems turn to null? Feeling peace and the river -- flow. Meditation makes you a whole lot less tense. Meditate awhile. And go that extra mile. And when you're done your problems don't make sense!
If it's a real problem stand up tall. Nip it in the bud I tell you all. You may need to compromise and be good. The way will become clearer. The solution to become nearer. When you are done it will be all that you could.
This one time I was full of anger. I couldn't see a solution to the matter. So I meditated with the front part of my brain. The anger dropped eighty five percent. Bodhidharma's sword was heavenly sent. I solved my problems and there was much to be gained.
And then there's the sense of inner peace. It makes you feel this and they won't cease. Your problems are solved this way too. To be happy and peaceful and glad. To all that you are and had. You feel peaceful all the way inside of you!
There's one thing the masters reveal. Your problems just aren't real. Don't hang onto them or deal with them or hate. There's a super - ordinate reality here. To all that I hold dear! Sit down and experience your breath -- meditate.
( Please -- I knock on your door. My hand a chocolate bar, could there be more? Would you please be, please be my friend? Let's put the problem aside. The problem is over, we can't hide. Would you please be, please be my friend? )
The Wall.
To all of this vast utterness! And to all of the things that wonder is! There is a wall here of joy and hope. I cannot quit explicating, it's the wall that I sit meditating, I have become wiser and widened my scope.
The wall that I sit meditating, nothing could be more true, the joy and peace and inverness inside of you. This is a wall that I never see. And yet it's my very dear friend, fifteen years of letting time bend, it has become now, the wall is totally me.
A candle and incense I light. It's inside and extremely bright. And then I sit down and the pages slowly unturn. The breaths clear you all the way out. Without any bit of a doubt. A candle and incense I make to burn.
The technique of Zen has been known before time old. You can go to all these temples full of gold. But in the end you sit facing the wall. Go in the bedroom facing west. And sit down and meditate and do your best. Go into the bedroom, go down the hall.
But I myself do Zen outside. A short breath of time to bide. There's a lot more realization doing this. The cars -trees - sunshine - grass so clear. All breathe as you do both far and near. Doing this outside fills you with total joyful bliss!
The wall and the candle and the incense and me. The shadow on the wall of the candle's flame flickering to and fro -- gently. I only apply myself to the task at hand. And then to breathe as I sit. The two lights become one, I admit. Experience your breath, the candle burns and the wax smells expand.
You see in my lifetime there has been wrong. It can overtake you when you are not strong. I believe now absolutely in love the same. To make love, to give love and to be love. To be more true than true is of. I believe in love absolutely, in the light of the flame.
And then as a kid. To whom? My first thought a candle in the corner of a room. Someday all this comes to an end. The candle of a child and a mind. The beat of a heart that is kind. I remember my first thought, a candle in the wind.
When you meditate there is a great deal of truth, both fast things and slow things and your eternal youth. The first wall for me has turned into sand! The wall has turned into sands! The wind blew it over my hands! This is why I meditate, to be free.
It took for me at least three years. First slow and then determined and then joyful tears. The wall aged and died before my very eyes. What would have taken a lifetime. It dissolved away by a clock's chime. It's the way everything finally dies.
The old wall has become all that is true. The wall turned to sand and the eternal sky - blue. I can now believe and see the sun! The benefits of meditation are so vast! That's the question and that's what I asked. The wall has turned to sand, I am becoming the one.
And now on the wings of the sun. I've stopped taking on the run. I have become one with myself and me. At least I think this so. It washed away from me revealing my soul. I've stopped running, I can finally see.
In the end all walls don't exist. My wall turned to sand by the candle's emptiness. The list goes on and on and on. The birth of a baby on a brand new day. Meditating in front of the wall is to know the way. The birth of a baby on a brand new dawn.
Everything, all forms, come from nothing, planets, stars, thoughts, breathing, something. It is to nothing that all things go. The wall has turned to sands! The wind blew it from my hands! It is to hope and to hold and to experience and to know.
Sincerely Yours, With Gratitude.
Kevin S. Denney.

Although these cards are presently used only by me some members have asked me to supply them with cards for which I ask only to be reimbursed my cost.

Dear Crosby,
Loved your show in Zoetermeer-Netherlands, unbelievable. I discovered your music in 1988 and saw you with CSN in 1992 in Utrecht-Netherlands, best concert I've ever seen, but in Wednesday you, Prevar, Raymond and the rest did it again, shivers .. Thank you.
Thank you for being so kind after the show, signing the new CPR album and again thank you for making all those beautiful music, especially my favourite IICORMN with "laughing". But there are so many more
Hope you'll be back in Holland soon,
All the best to you, and keep that smile,

Crosby, I think a lot of politicians, presidents, activists, etc make history. However, its the musicians and the writers, the painters, etc... that truly change history. You, I believe, are one of them. You have an immense musical talent, which you use for great humanitarian causes. My parents first turned me on to you when I was a freshman in high school. I wore out my first copy of "So Far," while singing along to "Deja Vu," and "Woodstock" with my mom. You've got three huge fans here in Cedarburg, WI.... keep rockin'! Peace, Kate Lilith99@mail.com

Hey David,
When I was a younger man and first started to listen to the Byrds, Hollies, and B. Springfield, CSN&Y, et al, I questioned myself. Did I pick these groups just to be cool? It may have taken some time, but I did arrive at an answer. I chose these because the music moved my soul. I can't thank you enough for all of the peace you and yours have brought to me over the years. I am now teaching my 4 year old grand-daughter to sing your songs. If
