Well, I am extremely worried now!!! I might have been poisoned.  True story. Not by some unknown assailant with malicious motives.  It was the sister of this culprit pictured below.  ( I truly believe he is also involved.) Darn Killer Mango. I honestly didn’t know that I was ingesting a “ non-organic ” substance. It did not come across as a non decomposable substance. It did not taste nor have the texture of “ metal”.  I didn’t believe it to be “ raw minerals”. It felt somewhat solid in my hand, in no way coming across  as  “ gaseous “. Only it’s delicious juices flowed as a “ liquid”,  running down my arm and dripping from my elbow. I called poison control.  They asked if I were under psychiatric supervision. ( I’m not. My therapist had a meltdown.) So, as a proper Western Worlder,  I turned to that there  “internet”.  Which led me to “ Wikipedia ” and their definition of ‘ Organic ‘ …… A...

MMXVI - Wow, made it! I am honestly surprised. There has to be many who know me and my ways that are equally amazed. So, I asked my invisible friend if he knew what my other self thought of all this. He replied with a lyric from Yelawolf and Ed Sheeran's 'Slumdon Bridge', "I'll be coming up, when the sun goes down. Rolling like a rock till I hit the ground. Running from the Lord cause I can't be found. Only MY God can track me down". OMG, people. How did these two musicians get into the minds of LightHouse Shakie Dann Verner? I am 58 years old now - five point eight decades of rocking, rolling, laughing, crying, living and dying. At least the living part out weighs the dying. Seven times dead, but EIGHT times re-born. Never judge a cover by the book. Words lie, pictures are truth. So, 'nuff said. I will live the re-born life and all the strife that comes with it for I still have fifty-four years to live before my final passing. Ch...

So, here we are, August 24th, 2015. What a mind fart! I have been "Walking with Dann" for nigh on fifty-seven plus years now. Walking with a limp, mumbling when I speak and laughing when I can. We all have our own demons lurking on the back streets of our minds. We have all done good and bad. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, mine was the latter. Often I have spoken about my darkside and I do so out of the pride of knowing that I AM ACCOUNTABLE for my actions. I hold the responsibility for that which I have done. Just as I hold the guilt for the pain I have caused. Do you wonder who it is I have harmed the most? My family, my children. It has not been easy for them to grow in life with one such as I as a father figure. The Hippie, the Biker, the Electrician, the Gangbanger and The LightHouse. I have been stabbed, shot, beaten, tortured, kidnapped, imprisoned and - the worst of all - allowed to die seven times and have to return. My own personal Hell...

"Been a long time since I left adolescence" It seemed like a marvellous plan at the time, me leaving home to become a roaming long haired leaping gnome. The Elders tried to warn me of what lay ahead on the path called life. I never did listen well. I would walk many a charmed path and I most definitely crawled through many a briar ridden uphill struggle to reach a life lesson. I have no regrets, but the ones I am tormented by. The darkness within for the many wrongs I mastered. I can only suffer in my own guilt till such a time as I face The Judgement and plead my case. Living my most memorable years from the late sixties till present day, I have Blessed my soul with meeting over ten thousand souls - visited many places and if Jimi Hendrix was to sing to me, "Have YOU ever been experienced?" I would reply "Yes, yes I have." I began dabbling in drug culture at the ripe age of ten. Shocking as it sounds, truth so it is. Times were changing then. Co...

Reminiscence   – yes, do it! For within our past lays what is within our future.  We learn from our days gone by – be it good or not so good – life lessons for the wandering soul, the stay at home persona and the youth on the grow. You humans are flawed and this is a trait best served on the platter of knowledge with a side order of “Now I knows”. Who has not gained experience from hindsight? Who has not risen after falling into the murky waters of “Oops!” In my half century plus upon this Atomic Mother Earth, I have fallen, crashed & burned, swallowed the acrid waters of defeat, wallowed in the churning pools of success and danced within the jaws of Satan himself . Many an occasion have I believed my end had finally arrived, (as it did seven times), only to discover that although I danced in His jaws, I walked with The Original Hippie, or as you humans have named him, the Son of God.  I am not a ‘holy’ man by any means. I have a belief in The...

So, May is about to end and we shall begin the journey into June with all it's fine weather and the Light of a summer sun. May was rough this year. The tragic death of a close and dear friend, Sheena Eve (missing you dearly) added to the emotions that I have been wracked with these past few months. The incompetency of the government in the way they deal with monetary issues - funny how if you happen to owe them money you must pay right away, BUT if they owe you, "The cheque is in the mail". The Creators took our Sheena . I overstand why. A few times in your life you will be Blessed with intertwining your path with that of certain unique and truly precious souls. Sheena was/is such. Never from her mouth would you hear an argument or unfounded bad word. Her aura was violet, her eyes were peace, tranquility and joy. When she walked into a darkened room, the Light would follow - she was a "Sparkle Bitch" ( a term she used herself). Her physical self has left...

(Re-post - original posting March 2008 dannverner.spaces.live) I woke Up And Realized It Was Confession Time......... Interesting thought...... In my 38 years living on my own in the deepest roots of the darkest part of society and then later in years living in the deepest roots of being rich and "Joe Citizen", then returning to become a meager man, "Just Dann", I have discovered a few things that have been constant throughout all ages - some people are good, some evil and some are agitators in the machine. The reason our youth are like they are is the learned behaviorism from us adults. Our media, our ways and our quest to hide behind intoxicants and drugs so that we do not see the reality we have created. Our constant and very much genetic habit of "finding a reason to misplace blame", our reluctance to readily admit, "I fucked up". There is quite a difference in allowing one's self to want to save society and people as a whole and trying t...

My Lords! It is already May 7th and 2010! That's a long way from my birth in 1957 and yet, I still shall live till July 17th, 2069. What a marvelous journey this shall be. How do I know the day I will ascend? I have always known. For as far back as I can remember in this time/space continuum I have known my 'death' date. I know not why I know - I just know. I am also aware that it shall be a tasked passage with many physical, mental and spiritual tests along the way. I have been tested before - some I passed and many more I failed, miserably. Failure is the stepping stone for success - remember this always - for every action, no matter on what plain, there is always an opposite and yet equal reaction. This applies to all - the physical - the mental and especially the Spiritual. Darkness needs Light and Light needs the Darkness, Pain needs Pleasure, Empathy needs Apathy - all balances out for the greater good. I spoke a while back about the so-called "New World Order...

There are numerous avenues and ways in which to offer up thanks and gratitudes for Blessings that Be. Which one of these is best sincere to show such? I know not, therefore I merely go with my instinctive inner voice. "I offer my gratitude to The Creators for the life I have been given in this multiverse and space/time continuum. I am humbled by their gifts of trials, tribulations, conflicts and woes. For without these I would not be aware of the true gifts of success, overstanding, resolution and joy." In my adolescent "Walk with Dann" I have seen, accomplished and experienced far more then most men. I have witnessed violence, I have experienced violence and I have been victimized by violence. In my senior "Walk" I have witnessed peace, experienced the 'turning of the other cheek' and held my hand out to the victim. Life is like the Spirit of the Ocean. She can be a mighty mean 'Whore' or a calming 'Lady'. It all depends on how and...

"Peace is more then a mere verbal utterance, more then a concept devised by four British Lads, one Ravi Shankar, and Bob Dylan having a beer at their local pub." November 21st 2007 Dann Verner These Minstrels,Holy Men, Poets and many others with similar artistic talents and beliefs used their musi c, their minds , their Charisma their very souls to spread the philosophies of peace and unity. If only we all would have listened our lives would be in much better benefit. NOW, it is the time for listening and it is up to us as fellow brothers and sisters to spread the message - not only do we have a greatly scarred planet to heal - we also have the tremendous task of teaching our fellow man that it is OUR time to unite into one world of peace and tranquility - war is not the answer and never shall it be. Trips to the Cosmos are not going to help. The trillions of dollars being spent on such could be far greater used here on Mother Earth in more mean...
