It was 20 years ago today…

Dear Timmy,

In the spirit of honoring things for how they truly are, I want to share that I feel a lot more sad than I thought I would feel today. Not for the loss of your great life but for all the time we spent together that didn’t happen. For all the songs we didn’t sing and for all the birthday parties we didn’t have. For all the hang ups I wish I didn’t have at the time. For all of the love I didn’t know how to express. I love you now more than ever.

And yes I am beyond grateful and amazed for all the time we did spend together and for all the time and love you did give me. You put a lot into my incarnation and I’m thankful for that. Don’t let me get away with whining selfishly about what I didn’t get. I got a lot.

When relationships grow in the spirit world, as this one does, they weave their way into the tender tapestry of every single breath and possibility that every single moment has to offer. I take you with me when I can and rest on my faith that you’re giving me that TL wink of approval as I settle into my own path and adulthood. I too have felt the burn of your frustrated scorn that comes from your genius-biased as you’ve witnessed the many mistakes that I probably didn’t need to make again. Through the juxtaposition of the two is where I feel your presence and continuous spirit guide in my life. Please stay right there, you’re needed.

Boy that was a fast 20 years, damn. I remember May 31, 1996 as if it were yesterday. I remember the final sip of coffee you had at the outdoor patio table and the whisper of the word “beautiful” right before your last breath. Many people who you knew and loved will celebrate you tonight by screening a great doc that you never got to see finished called “Dying to Know.” We will dance, sing and laugh in your love.

LiB 2016

Amazing journeys at Lightening in a Bottle! Big thanks to the Do LaB for having me come out to share, speak and exchange ideas and love. I did a great on-site podcast with the uber creatrix Amanda Sage which will go live this week. Stay tuned at itsallhappeningshow.com for that.

Psychedelic Parenting Podcast

Mostly I get pretty resistant and challenged when I’m asked to speak on “growing up Leary.” Over the years, I’ve learned to make friends with it and can probably let go any future attitudes around it. Jonathan Thompson who runs this podcast is a really nice guy and did a great job at hosting this all around discussion. It transitioned from the life at home with Tim stuff to many great topics ranging from spirituality to addiction. I revealed way more than I thought I would. Enjoy.

Ultraculture!!

A few weeks back I was on the Ultraculture Podcast with Jason Louv. I really enjoyed it, we covered a lot of ground and it felt like one of the more effortless and graceful podcasts that I’ve been on. Jason is incredibly bright and very “turned on.” Check it out.

Breaking News – from the wire!

BREAKING NEWS – In a shocking and bold move, Presidential candidate Zach Leary (I – CA) has announced that he has appointed Elon Musk to be his running mate.

Following in the foot steps of the Ted Cruz/Carly Fiorina announcement earlier today, Mr. Leary thought that since he too has no chance of wining the election, appointing a running mate in the delusional march to the White House couldn’t have come at a better time.

This story is developing – check back for updates.

Spend 5 minutes!

Other than Lawrence Lessig‘s now legendary TED talk, this is the best 5 minutes on everything that is wrong with the political system. I don’t even look at it as an anti-Hilary expose, rather it’s just what happens in the deep underbelly of the perverse labyrinth that is Washington DC. If you haven’t seen it, do. It’s worth every bit of the five minutes.
