Charles Writes: Introduction to "Because I Bee"

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.
