Ffolkes,

Hajime…. Today’s Pearl reflects the evolution of which I spoke, briefly and obscurely, yesterday. It seems to have evolved along with my new routine, with just as much forethought put into its institution, i.e., none at all. It just happened that way, much like the Universe. Go figure, eh? In this particular case, it works, perhaps as well as any new thing in the Universe, if somewhat less comprehensibly. In the end, it won’t matter, unless the relative degree of confusion I’ve created turns out to be less than called for in the contract. What contract, you ask? Well, you may ask; it doesn’t mean you’ll ever find out.
Hmph. I guess I slipped over into curmudgeon mode, without realizing it. Must be the shoes, which I’m not wearing today. Whatever it is, it has created a rather odd, if creative, Pearl. We have a multitude of pearls today, all strung together into a self-directed rant to offset the romantic qualities of our old-school offering. None of that tells you much, but, that’s the way it’s supposed to be; what fun is it to know it all ahead of time? The Doctor wouldn’t like that. So, why don’t we stop teasing, and tempting the Fates, & save ourselves some of the mess that can engender? We’ll pull out the good, ol’ ruthless gene, & get where we need to be in a New York minute….
Shall we pearl?….
“Live the questions now.
Perhaps then, someday far in the future,
you will gradually, without even noticing it,
live your way in the answer.”

While conversing with a friend yesterday, I had occasion to use the title of today’s video selection, a quite valuable factoid, which you see below, under the artist’s name. I call it a factoid, when, in truth, it is more like a solid, immutable truth about human nature, which all of us need to be aware of, and use in all our interactions. When we don’t remember this little gem, it costs us, every time…. Ffolkes, I give you Ron White, with any number of examples of how You Can’t Fix Stupid…. Enjoy!….

“In dealing with the State, we ought to remember that its institutions are not aboriginal, though they existed before we were born: that they are not superior to the citizen: that every one of them was once the act of a single man: every law and usage was a man’s expedient to meet a particular case: that they all are imitable, all alterable; we may make as good; we may make better.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Man is ready to die for an idea, provided that idea is not quite clear to him.” — Paul Eldridge
“It’s silly to go on pretending that under the skin we are all brothers. The truth is more likely that under the skin we are all cannibals, assassins, traitors, liars, hypocrites, poltroons.” — Henry Miller
“The men the American people admire most extravagantly are the most daring liars; the men they detest most violently are those who try to tell them the truth.” — H.L. Mencken
“Society everywhere is in conspiracy against the manhood of every one of its members. The virtue in most request is conformity. Self-reliance is its aversion. It loves not realities and creators, but names and customs.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson, Essays,”Self-Reliance” (First Series, 1841)
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” — Edmund Burke (1729-1797), in a letter to William Smith
********************************
Intelligent Crimes
The value of wit is often said to cause harm,
for those who think, such is its greatest charm.
The new and the bold cannot be fulfilled
if innovation and change is left unwilled.
Society behaves at its base as a mob
conformity and submission its primary job.
Any sign of rebellion against the mob’s rule
is met with resentment, naming such rebel the fool.
Intellect and talent are looked at askance,
expressing artistry stands nary a chance.
To stand out from the rest of mankind
is fraught with danger, for body and mind.
Often I stand to watch in solemn dismay
as beauty and joy are left by the way,
ignored and reviled by the unwashed masses
who prefer darkness, and acting like asses.
With shouts of derision the normals make known
their fear of intelligence, greater than their own.
They hope to stop all semblance of progress;
for thoughts and ideas, they couldn’t care less.
The world struggles on in spite of all opposition,
managing to maintain its advanced position.
Pulling the foolish along in spite of reluctance,
helping each to learn the survival dance.
Hard though it may be to keep up with the future
genius manages its plans to develop and nurture.
In the final analysis, those who live by reason
enjoy life the most, season to season.

Having thus assuaged my own sense of duty, I may now escape into the day, to find some real-time trouble to cause for the machine. I guess I’m really going to have to do what I’ve always thought would be necessary, & learn to program computers. The time is coming when it may become our final weapon in the upcoming societal wars…. Guess it’s time to begin the tactical/strategic planning, and begin the campaign…. Ah, well, tomorrow is soon enough, right after I post another mess like this one. See y’all then, ffolkes; I can’t make myself stop….
Y’all take care out there,
and May the Metaphorse be with you;
Blessed Be, dearest Carole, Mark,Theresa, & Richy

Hi gigoid.. as i’Ve often stated..
in many other words..
hehe.. the best
pARt of your
blog posts..
poetry.. quotes..
videos.. photos.. etc..
are the eclectic nature of
what you bRing that IS A
perfect Garden for a wild
and creative mind that holds
no bars or is barred no longer
by old phrases and way of
past in dogma
told and sold
to mold..
just God
dam old
where the mind
and emoTions that
groW iN MoVing..
ConnEcTinG Creativity
as Miller stated can thank
God of Nature all with my
soft Nature words added in
for consolidating what we all
can see of God.. on our knees
as BlesSinGs of an Old age that
comes Gracefully wHerE liFE STiLL
has meaning and purpose.. and the
heARt.. SpiRit and MiNd and BoDy
soUL stays young a core of
what even FucKinG
matters in liFe
when ya shed
the clothes
of culture
sAMe.. that truly
is the cannibal part..
the assassin.. the traitor.
liars.. hypocrites and poltroon
let me Google that quick.. oh yeah
an archaic noun that refers to those
folks who pay more mind to differences
in division that unity true.. hmm.. well that’s
the issue.. Human Beings as science shows are
none of these con-social overall negatives at nature
core.. when they live as sociology shows in the 20 most
peaceful societies in the world.. that are all small.. homogenous
in both looks and culture in giving sharing ways.. where like even
in the pre-immigration filled scandinavian countries one could leave
their child out in the street.. unattended without fear of bad bad
stuff happening as chaos of human clothed cultures can
often bring.. so no.. and yes.. Miller is correct and
incorrect depending on the Environmental
oh my GOD huge factor of human
written language.. in collective
recorded intelligence and
the true innate human
insanity of
heterogenous
cultures and morphological
features.. as truly humans are
just not currently still evolved to
do that in what Pepsi says is living
in Peace and Harmony.. if i remember
the old true adage attributed properly
to that Corporation too.. it’s kinda sad
when ya have get to get your culture
from a pair of Shoes like Nike
that says Just do it..
and lots of the
general public’s
other inspiration
with forms of material
stuff over the inner hUman
EmoTioNaL HEart.. SpiRit
and MiNd and boDy bAlanCinG
way of MoVinG ConNecTinG and
CreaTinG neW nowS.. in nature wHere
Nature in teaming abundance alWays changes..
and never is snow and desert same when life
lives in balance with we naturally living
small homogenous somewhat
naked dancing groups
of hUman around
campfires of night
Free one with God
oF NatRre.. wHere we
share the sAMe God dAM
ways of Being that most everyone
can agree upon.. as the group is
sMaLL enough wHere most everyone
gets a social role.. and it is the
the one without altruism
and empathy that
gets pushed
off the cliff..
and sure that’s
kinda sad.. as some
of those folks as science
shows were simply born
that way.. as
mutations
will come..
and when
it’s warrior
fearless time
with no empathy
at all they serve as
great CEO’s.. Stock Brokers.. Surgeons..
and other Presidential.. and
Priest ways of being.. where
Emotions and Empathy
only get in
a way
of Control
Control
conTrol
and more
Control now
to get the sometimes
darker jobs done.. like sewing
hearts up.. making big green back
money deals.. and making people
believe to keep the pew ’tills filled
for just one more social
role to make
a living
from
day to day
of whatever God
dAM works no matter
how insane we angels
see the devils of the
dark side
of reaLiTy
oF Nature
and God same..
in dArk and liGht..
sHades of colors

of allthatis..
Oh Kali.. you do
look A lot like God overall
just sticking your tongue out
at uS as destruction leads still

now.. now..

F. In Christ..
this life
stuff
can get
awful messy..
but those of uS who
WiN WilL find a way
with WiLL and when that
WiLL rules Fearless Love..
the Monarch of Wings WiLL
once again flutter free.. heHE..
@least
as mE..
and yes..
i’ve seen both
sides now.. and
i do play the
rules of

all free
from A

and beyond
of course as liFe..
is way to boring for

Miller’s rightness is unassailable, but, simply for effect, I think. He’s right, when it comes to pretty much all of human history, which makes it clear we’re a vicious, violent species, as a rule, once we get together in large enough numbers to be convinced to act as a mob. I guess that’s sort of a simplified description of the entire process of politics/government, which also tends to happen when too many of us congregate….
But it only acknowledges history, which is not a representation of all of human nature; in fact, much like the news today, the worst stuff is more fascinating, and so gets more attention. All the qualities he mentioned are balanced, in one way or another; they just don’t make the news, so to speak, since they ARE harder to find, requiring a free mind, and the courage to face reality….
Bell curve in action, right?
I’m always amazed at how what i write stimulates you in particular directions…. *grin* Fun, & challenging…

Well..
Pennie Windfall..
that’s inspiring..
As above.. so below..
inside.. outside.. all around
the earth.. the stars.. the galaxies
the UniVerse
we are..
we are
God
bottom
linE now..
anyWay..
we are wild
and so is God
top line.. bottom
line one.. and this
undomesticated thingy
is what happens when
culture comes along..
FucK culture is
what i say..
wHere the
Wild things
are iS A way
for me that works
as sure you can have
the wild thing with love
for survival.. it FucKinG
works for the Bonobo
just fine
iN miXinG
kicks/fucks..
and sure killing
small mammals and
reptiles as omnivores
will do.. and put ’em into
captivity and try to domesticate
them.. and sure they will turn into
cannibals too.. as the wild things have
their benefits all built in to live in balance
all so free.. anyway.. this hertz of the Earth
is how i guttural growl immediately after i do
my balancing act of Martial arts looking ballet
moves at the gym.. where the mix of feminine
and masculine advanced Bonobo style of Wild
innate.. instinct and intuition.. turns into the
potential killer in me for survival too..
i play with my animal spirit
for greater strength
to press close
to half a ton
33 times
now and
sure it works
as folks with
Tourettes syndrome
do the same to increase
dopamine levels with spontaneous
grunts to offset their imbalance of
dopamine… Do what works.. the
SonG of nature wild in us
that SinGs until
now lives
on..
now.. hmm.. ohm..
the best compliment
above and beyond the
legend one.. i’ve received
from the watcher audience
at the ‘club’ now for 118 weeks
is ‘you are my spirit animal’..
from both female and male..
the longing in human
being to be
Wild is strong
and an intelligence
that is all innate.. instinctual
and intuitive.. and sure Yogis
hum.. om.. a SonG like this
too.. to match the SonG
of Earth.. as the child
WilLL copy the
Mother
Earth
iN Love
oF all that iS..
plus.. when dopamine
is naturally increased ..Focus
and WiLL and determination
to get the job of life done is
why the Lion growls
and the Loudest
deepest
growl
means
i FucKinG
mean business..
hehe.. it’s FucKinG
hilarious when i move
from Ballerina to Lion
in a spin of
my throat
that spells
a dance of death..
and yes.. Kali
is wild..
i AM
wild
and
so is GoD..
and the wild ones
WiLL shed tHeir weak
cultural clothes whenever they
get a chance.. as even science
shows pain and pleasure mix
at the core of
everything
it means
to survive..
iN thrive alive..
so sure.. tHeRe is
that demon per reptile
brain that fuels survival..
particularly when resources
are low in the desert or the
Neanderthal snow capped mountains
iN the Irish eYes
oF
Y i.. that
STiLL GroWLs
A SonG noW
oF God’s
WiLd Love
So FReED..
A L i VE NOW..
And sure that iS
why at the liNk oF aLL
my lovely prose and poetry
IS A bottom core of whaT aLL
i AM.. furry.. eYes.. of Naked WiLL..
no one has to tale me A KinG has no clothes..
ReaL KinGs
of the
jungle
never

sMiLes and WiNks..
So sure.. as Henry Miller
says.. cannibals live in cities
it is what primates do when cAged..
and why they long for Vampire movies..
as the Lizard escapes tHeir fangs for liFe..
