Ffolkes,
A calm despair, without angry convulsions,
without reproaches to Heaven,
is the essence of wisdom.”
~~ Alfred Victor Vigny ~~
Early morning in Alaska….
Hajime…. Though I am, as the title suggests, well aware of what day it happens to be today, I won’t trouble y’all with yet another attempt to be foolish. I figure enough of that goes on here as a matter of course, so, we’ll let the world have its fun, and I’ll take the day off…
No foolin’. You see, I’m not in a good space at all, and, I need to take another day to look for some balance. What you see below the above picture of Alaska will be rather truncated, in comparison to a regular Pearl, as I didn’t get it done yesterday, and I have no wherewithal with which to do so today. C’est la fucking vie, as they say these days in the Eurozone, from what I can gather. I don’t have enough in me to care much what anyone says, and, that, for sure and for certain, is no foolin’.
Since I’m in such a foul mood, I’m done here, and, possibly, below as well. I don’t care. I will, however, care tomorrow, I am sure, so, I’ll make a better effort when that gets here. One may hope, anyway. For now, let’s get this done, so y’all can go have some fun, which seems to be a state we’ll be looking for desperately, if not frantically. Oh, well….
Shall we Pearl?….
I’m frightened of old ones.”
~~ John Cage ~~

The Answer
**************
Always we hope
Someone else has the answer
Some other place will be better
Some other time it will all work out.
This is it.
No one else has the answer
No other place will be better
And it has already turned out.
At the center of your being
You have the answer;
You know who you are and what you want.
There is no need to turn outside
For better seeing.
Rather abide at the center of your being
For the more you leave it
The less you learn.
Search your own heart and see
the way to do is to be.
~~ Lao Tzu ~~

Well, there you go. I guess, what y’all ended up with is a really, really old-school pearl, much like the ones that first got sent out to the folks at NSH back about 11 years ago…. Such as it is, it is, and so am I. So be it. See y’all tomorrow, even if I must abrogate my own standards, such as they are…..
and May the Metaphorse be with you;
Blessed Be, dearest Carole, Mark,Theresa, & Richy
and everyone else, too…
When I works, I works hard.
When I sits, I sits loose.
When I thinks, I falls asleep.
Which is Why….
Sometimes I sits and thinks,
and sometimes,
I just sits.

Sorry you are having another bad day….it sux! I see Lady P is back…I leave you with my grandfather’s philosophy on life….”If you cannot eat it or fuck it…then piss on it”! chuq
That’s definitely one I can get behind today…. A touch of my old friend, ptsd; it’ll pass. It always does; just gotta get through it…. I’ll live, since I refuse to do otherwise just now…
😉
You have a good one, my friend. I’m gonna go find something to piss on…
gigoid
Take it easy and try to relax and think that I will feed your ranting desires as well as I can…LOL chuq
Thanks, bro…. I do tend to get a lot out there, don’t I? Ah, well, it keeps the public safe….
😉
Nice looking town!

Well that my friend
is worth repeating again
and again.. but sadly for many
folks the real problem is how to
accomplish this in a world ruLed
by external limitations and expectations
to move.. connect.. and create free iN
shaRinG and GivinG ways as even
science now shows humans
are naturAlly evolved
to practice
tHiS
WeLL iN
Balance
of LiVinG now…
no dollar amounts..
aLL of value can be found
iN the moving.. connecting..
creating.. giVing shArinG
way of liFe..
For me iT is the Art
of escaping a truly Frankenstein
head of thinking to get back iN
touch with emotional
regulation and
sensory integration..
greater focus and
short term working
memory way now..
tHere iS no possible
way i could gain this by
sitting still meditation..
as
it bores
the hell out of
me to sit stiLL aT all..
so stimming iS mY way
to this bliss of balance..
and getting away
from all and or
any illusory
fears of Life..
and truly i use song
in a relative way to gain
focus through hums of sound
to focus through strength training
to keep the positive energy high..
all innate.. instinctual and intuitive..
the aRt of Dance and SonG like
this are to me.. but requiring
both feminine grace
and strong
moves in
SonG and Dance
way.. and truly that is why
most dudes and some females
wiLL never gain Yin and Yang
feminine and masculine balance
ONE.. as they are afraid
of their other internal
gender to BRinG
wide
awake
as One
force of First
time now.. as
balance iN
Heaven
now
can
aLways
be as practice
of bio-feedback real
from head to toe..
inside.. outside..
and all
around..
above and below..:)

Wise words indeed….~~ Lao Tzu ~~
Yes,I be back…..
Though perhaps not in the best health,caught some bug on the plane…ggrrrrr
The fake suicide bomber landed 5 hours after me….grin
Trust you will regain you usual bonhomie soon..
I for one will never,ever attempt such a journey again.
Weddings,bah humbug.
😉
Nice to have you back, scroogette…
😉
See ya down the pages…

I have just purged my bile on a feckless fool…
Serves him right!
I also am feeling much better…..nothing like a good rant to keep the blood flowing…

Well, anyone who can stimulate someone to use ‘feckless’, in my book, definitely deserves anything they get.
*grin*
Ranting is good for not only the soul, but, obviously, the envelope in which it lives…
Next time, though, use somebody other than Will…. too commonplace.
*bigger grin*
Welcome back….

Leave my ‘Will’ alone….
I thought I woz feelin’ betta…hours lata I regressed….sick as an ole dawg!

At the moment I read this, I can relate. But, we’ll refrain from any shooting, and give the ol’ dog garlic, instead….
Feel betta, milady….

Beyond cool … totally intellectually and spiritually refreshing! Thanks Mr. Gigoid! Thanks for being there. I shall consider your blog as a cool cave in which to retreat and drink some fresh mountain spring water in the searing heat of the ever-more-melting days that now descend upon us courtesy of the inherent idiocy of Mankind.
