WHEN LIFE IS HARD

THE FORTUNES OF PEGGY

I don’t often appreciate the job of being an art handler. Occasionally the job provides a real payoff. Today provided one of the finest examples. I was able to stand, unguarded, under the spell of three life altering works.

Cezanne, Still Life: Flask, Glass, and Jug (Fiasque, verre et poterie), ca. 1877. Oil on canvas



Pablo Picasso, Mandolin and Guitar (Mandoline et guitare), 1924. Oil with sand on canvas




Wassily Kandinsky. Dominant Curve. 1936. Oil on canvas

Parker and Noah at Darth Vader's Church, Tallahasseee
1988

A RADIANT INDIVIDUAL SPREADING GOODWILL

SUB ATOMIC MASS OF PARTICLES, ARISING,

THEN PASSING

THE BEALES OF EAST HAMPTON

Major Thanks to Jerry Torre AKA The Marble Faun. Jerry has been terribly generous in sharing so much about his life with the Beales. I’ve been able to see over 2.5 additional hours of edited Grey Garden’s footage thanks to Jerry. He held a private screening in the West Village last week that completely blew me away. This screening was followed by a visit to Maysle Films wherein I was able to meet Albert and see more amazing footage.
Criterion will be releasing a new edition of Grey Gardens that will contain up to an hour of new footage. It was a profoundly emotional experience to watch this footage with Jerry. Jerry was a major part of The Beale’s lives, an aspect not wholly illustrated in the original film.

CHRISTE

Tonight I went to ABC studios on West 66th Street. I went there to have my first meeting with Chris Kachulis. Chris has worked at ABC for 46 years. 1 year after beginning his job at ABC he became friends with Bruce Haack. Chris and Bruce remained friends and collaborated up until Bruce’s death in 1988. In my opinion their most significant collaboration is the masterpiece album Electric Lucifer. Chris helped pen much of the lyrics and also sings on most of the songs.
Chris is an exciting, hospitable, generous and joyful human being. He is an immediate encyclopedia of old music, old films, the Christian bible and musicals.
I’m incredibly honored to be working with Chris this summer. Such collaborations will be unveiled at the beginning of the sun making it’s way into Cancer.

Embracing all beings

Far and near

Be it on the earth

In The water

Or In The air

Knowing well that we are all fellow wayfarers in this round of existence

That we are all overcome by the same law of suffering

That is comforting coolness to those that burn with the fire of suffering and passion;

That is life giving warmth to those abandoned in the cold desert of loneliness,

To those who are shivering in the frost of a loveless world

On Wednesday April 26th I took a bike ride and decided to stop at a record store. I found the record store unfulfilling and walked back to my bike. Directly across the street I noticed the 10+ story I AM Temple. I gave in to the gravitational pull and crossed Washington street.
In the window were paintings of Jesus, the U.S. flag, angels with the U.S. flag, a man unknown to me, and hand painted signs. One sign stated, “What you meditate upon you become.”
I entered the I AM Temple to find a lobby with a reading room and bookstore attached. I entered the bookstore and talked with Maria, an older woman from Czechoslovakia. She explained some of the
I AM philosophy to me. I was told of astral bodies in need of acknowledgment, ascended masters like Jesus who had gone before us, celestial cycles of opportunity, the Cave of Light, travel that takes place during deep sleep, and of the movement starting in 1930 by Guy W. Ballard.
She also mentioned, Saint Germain, the main patriarch of the I AM movement. St Germaine has existed, as an ascended master, for over 4000 years. He is an ascended master who inhabits different earth bodies from time to time. All of the bodies he inhabits go on to do wonderful things to benefit our planet. St Germain has been embodied by Joseph; Jesus’ unbiological earth father, William Shakespeare, Christopher Columbus and also some who helped found and shape this country.
The bookstore had books and icons for sale. I picked up a card of the yellow Jesus pictured above. This image has become one of my favorite Jesus depictions. This Jesus radiates and is a warm light.
After my long, enjoyable discussion with Maria, I went into the reading room. When I asked about attending a service, Maria told me services weren’t open to the general public. Before attending a service, one had to read the first three volumes of a book series in order to become acquainted with the philosophy. I sat in a chair with one of these books taking cursory skims throughout. Yet I could hardly read as I was listening to what was playing in the lobby. As the women did various tasks about the lobby, a stern woman’s voice was playing somewhere. The voice kept saying things like “I AM the world Harmony, I AM Love, Love, Love, I AM and pledge love and Obedience to the United States of America, I AM and look to ascend, I AM I AM I AM IAM.” This was followed by an old sounding sermon in an enthusiastic man’s voice.
I ended up spending about 40 minutes there. When I left I had really been somewhere else.
