Introduction
First I need to qualify how I feel tonight
I am sort of on my heels and leaning backwards
Tonight and I am sitting here wondering how in the hell
am I going to write a catchy description of
Because I Bee
and then give you the key words
therein for readers to do internet searches with
because the keyword is a made up word
that I made up
you know the beeing sort of word in this
alive kind of world that we bee in
and I don't think google or amazon or even
kolossus will accept my word beeing as a real word
in their sort of alive kind of world but
I most decidedly am convinced that
Beeing is a nu way to describe my spiritual
life and the choices I make as an artist
and as a living kind of person in the Alive kind of World
because now whenever I am faced with any
sort of sticky situation in
my funny little life I can now run my funny little problem
or important loving matter through my Beeing filter and I
find I am so much happier and more contented
and more self realized as I might imagine Henry Miller would say
about beeing alive and as you have undoubtedly
heard from me that for some reason I want to share this joy
of beeing with all of you so much that I have written a
book about it and I have called it Because I Bee
and really the book is in three parts aesthetics, poetic
memoir and then a collection of my personal messages to the
universe of all poetic endeavor and finally the ending is in
complete support of Beeing Alive in the Alive kind of
World by letting you all know that I absolutely love
beeing among you and I Like Beeing And I want you
to Love your Beeing and Beeing Alive in the atmosphere of
your now and to finish with a flourish and bring
this book to a close I have written a Conclusion that sheds
a little more light on me and on Buddha and my lovely wife Melanie.
And after that I might add one more thought which is
To God Bee the Bee but I'm not sure about that and
it's a kind of moody and possibly a vainful brooding idea
to think that you can write a story about god
so maybe I won't include that piece in Because I Bee
However I just might instead
make a full length movie out of To God Bee the Bee. And what a big moody and broody idea that could be and I guess we will see how that big idea turns out because that is probably how I will Bee in that kind of
Beeing Moment.
