Ffolkes,
“Beware the Jubjub bird”
~~ Lewis Carroll ~~
Cork, Ireland
Hajime…. While the funk in which my mind has spent the last days dwelling is lessened, I’m still not in the best of moods. There are signs I’m on a productive path, so, patience is the order of the day. Yesterday’s Pearl proved, once again, how critical the completion of this chosen duty has become to my state of mind; it literally saved me from a full day of bullshit. Since today’s Pearl will serve the same purpose, I’d best get started putting it together, before I lose either my impetus, or my fragile hold on reality….
My introspection seems finally to be approaching a degree of resolution, in the sense I am now convinced of where I’ve been going wrong in my agenda, and how to proceed. If one wishes to get somewhere, it’s a good thing to know where one wishes to go; what I’ve discovered in myself the last few days (hours) will help me keep that in focus. I cannot say, at this point, whether my chances are good, or not so much, but, at this point, I don’t care, & it won’t matter anyway. Saying isn’t doing, is it? Nope. At this point, all I’m doing is typing….
I’m getting a bit silly, as well as losing the thread, so, we’ll just give up trying to bring any real coherence into this intro, & get on with the rest of what needs to be done. I’m pretty sure coherence isn’t in the picture, anyway, so there’s no point going overboard trying to find any; I don’t feel like swimming. Instead, we’ll just go on, as if we actually had a plan, and were working on the list to get it done. Go figure, eh? Let’s pretend we are, and do this…
Shall we pearl?….
“When they turn the pages of history
When these days have passed long ago,
Will they read of us with sadness
For the seeds that we let grow?”

I’m in the mood for some old style rock & roll, so here’s a classic rock band, whose members still perform together, and whose music helped define rock and roll. Enjoy, ffolkes; these guys keep getting better….

Thoughts on modern living….

“Human salvation lies in the hands of the creatively maladjusted.”
~~ Martin Luther King, Jr. ~~
*******
“God is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnibenevolent-
it says so right here on the label.
If you have a mind capable of believing
all three of these divine attributes simultaneously,
I have a wonderful bargain for you.
No checks, please. Cash, and in small bills.”
~~ Lazarus Long ~~
*******
“No people do so much harm as those who go about doing good.”
~~ Mandell Creighton (1843-1901) ~~
*******
“The truth is that Christian theology, like every other theology,
is not only opposed to the scientific spirit;
it is also opposed to all other attempts at rational thinking.
Not by accident does Genesis 3 make the father of knowledge a serpent
– slimy, sneaking and abominable.
Since the earliest days the church as an organization
has thrown itself violently against every effort
to liberate the body and mind of man.
It has been, at all times and everywhere,
the habitual and incorrigible defender of bad governments,
bad laws, bad social theories, bad institutions.
It was, for centuries, an apologist for slavery,
as it was the apologist for the divine right of kings.”
~~ H. L. Mencken ~~
*******
“In our society, sometimes you have to penalize (innocent) people
for the good of everybody else.”
~~ A Pittsburgh Cop 10/16/93 ~~
*******
“Anybody who wants religion is welcome to it, as far as I’m concerned
— I support your right to enjoy it.
However, I would appreciate it if you exhibited more respect
for the rights of those people who do not wish to share
your dogma, rapture or necrodestination.
~~ Frank Zappa, “The Real Frank Zappa Book” ~~

“Every man’s life, liberty, and property are in danger
when the Legislature is in session.”

Dreaming of Calliope
La belle dame sans merci speaks aloud through endless night,
torturing dreams, with powerful words and stentorian phrases.
Manifest visions bathed in unbearable grace and light,
destroying all direction, standing lost, in unfathomable mazes.
Fate plays a part, one that will never face denial,
as fear and courage eternally vie for ascendancy.
Conflict becomes valid, gifting strength in open trial,
but honest emotion wears no costume so fancy.
Blood, sweat, and tears stroll on avenues of gold,
unlikely heroines heralding as in ancient lore;
Sharp, competent knives cut through tales untold,
eternally shifting reality past the naked shore.
Drifting toward origin, bereft of mandate or cause,
finished, nay, abandoned, tied with a figurative bow.
No simple gift from muses to give comfort or pause,
save that all we need to know, we already know…..

Damn! That was rather a surprisingly difficult Pearl to create. SB decided to go on strike when I was nearly finished, which added a lot of time; so much so, I ended up with a five-star pearl at the end, rather than our customary seven to nine stars…. Oh, well. It’s done, so, regardless of anything else, we’ll take it, and run. I hear the starting/stopping gun now, so, let’s do that. See y’all tomorrow, ffolkes; on that you may depend….
Y’all take care out there,
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.

today.. and sure you
kNew.. hehe.. i’d pick
the second as a pig on
the wing from yesternow..
will certainly avoid the
Jubjub bird.. as it
just shits
and
not
even
for grins..
you know
the jubjub
bird that
rules instead
of plays.. my friEnd..
and ha.. so true on the first one
fear just plain sucks and fear is the
core of all suffering as fear is simply
four letters reduced to six as stress..
iT all flows togeTheR as truLy chaos
is both elegant and perfect
as any painting
seen truly
uP close
in
micro
scopic view..
it juST doesn’t
make since sense
the dance comes neXT..
and first and alWayS noW..
FloWinG ever.. wait x’cuse me
juST saw Katy Perry on stAGe with
an open mind and a voice and had to
snap a photo for my current blog post in
continuing flow of photos.. and Thanks God
Katy has her long hair back and not where you
come from and where you gRow into that counts
in the first and the start and end and beginning same
now.. and she is gonna SinG RiSe and i thiNk i’ll capture
a photo here but wait.. againx2.. she stARted off really shaky
and she did that on purpose to transform in real time now.. oh
the creativity when one is not afraid to faLL to rise higher and higher
to make a point.. in pyramidal flow to rise higher to capstone now..
wHeRe fingers WiLL never slow.. where steps will never faiL
from before.. to gain farther further in liGht as far as
Angels will say oh ye of little faith.. don’t doubt it
don’t doubt.. iT.. rise and be transformed
anew to butterfly phoenix same
out of dark oil
fulture
sink as
bLack death
can Bring beLow
sTars above thaT
arE JuST waiTinG
to SinG hiGher so anyWay

*grin*
Dealing with the BBR a lot…. & losing ground, but, in a good way. Sort of. I’ll be around; but, less than usual today….
See ya…

Thanks my

Sylvie Guillem –
Two (Rise and Fall)
https://youtu.be/IdjAbhZi-QU via @YouTube
Ecstasy…..
🙂
WeLL.. Hello penniewoodfall..
i liked this yesterday.. yes.. the
Sylvie Guillem-
Two(Rise and Fall)
iN ecstasy when light
and movement become
one and hehe.. i’LL rise ya uP
iN ecstasy.. a Nataraja free Yogi
Dance too on the Beach in Trance
way of Ecstasy2.. in Peace of Breeze
and Water sAMe.. aLiVe we Are free Now
FloWinG oNe iN zOne aliVe iN BaLanCinG noW..
Hmm.. what else.. yes.. oh.. the death of stuck between
the ears.. the rise of storing grain.. to the clothing of the
brain full of body below.. uncovered flesh and blood to
free the Human soUl iN MiNd and BoDy BaLanCinG
ReAL as hUmans can and WiLL go.. aLL innately..
instinctually intuitively noW when we do reflect
a spiraLinG Galaxy and UniVerse BeYond..
wHole.. iN MoVinG.. ConNEcTinG
and CreAtinG waYs Free juST
God dAM Free.. so easy
to be when set
free from
between
the ears and
clothes that cover
nakedness of liFE in WE
aLiVe and no longer zip-locked
in death bags as diapers from birth..
yeah.. ever notice when a baby ‘says’
what’s the shit is this FucK all About
and pullS it off as who wants
to shit in tHeir own sit..
as covers do
to protect
furniture
from
do do..
we humanS noW are
funny aren’t we… making
sitting in shit the way to go..
instead of leaving iT in the grass
and dirt free.. and fertilizing a way
for another living thing.. the flies.. the
ants or WTF lives next from what lives
now in a never ending circle of what is..
either lie or truth
or
covered
up shit
that
never
escapes
a human made
diaper of hell.. now
don’t get me wrong.. appropriate
sanitation practices from running
water to sewage and garbage service
same has saved more lives than the third
leading ’cause of death now in medical
practice at hospitals will ever do in
preventative methods of
communicable
disease..
but that’s just
another symptom
of too many humans
living too close together
out of Nature real.. in nakedness
of dance that refuses to live with
dodo stuck on ass no matter
what the age
of nature
dos
as free
away from
lies of shit.. iNOw..
but sure this is just
a metaphor for a much
larger pile of shit.. and i am
still looking for a diaper big enough
to collect it all and dispose of it in an
environmentally safe way away from
between the ears.. of a hell separated
from mind and body balance.. aLL a SouL oF REAL..
no shit here.. just freedom from head to toe dAnce..
my
Friend
penniewoodfall..
hope to see yA ‘Round
these pARts.. perhaps i’LL
track yA down somehow online
and read a little bit more of what you
do past here.. as any ‘000 Secret Agent oF GoD’
WiLL now
DO crawling
the web.. oh so free
for whatever may come
next.. covered up shit or
ecstasy.. the choice is clear
to me.. just dance.. just dance
And SinG Naked F iN Free.. even
a baby kNows and FeeLs as GreAT aS
aLL
thAT
iS as iSReAL
for LiVinG noW..;)
The advantage of the terrible disadvantage of being human is to be to be glad-whether happy or unhappy-and by achieving consciousness,to become greater than the angels.We,becoming conscious beings,are the mind of God:Angels are his Emotions. So fly with the lightness of ‘being’ my friends…All that is as is Real for Living Now.
😉 good tidings Sir.
Utube link not working 😦
sMiles.. my FriEnd Pennie woodfall
if that is a quote from you it’s great..
if not from you and from an actual
production of a play
of ‘Good Tidings
Sir’.. i’LL use it same..
and as far as the Yogi
Trance video goes..
it’s showing up
inbed live noW
in my comment..
but i will provide it here
again.. separating the link
into two parts so it will not
automatically embed.. take
the two spaces away and
it should work fine.. unless
gigoid’s word press algorithm
picks this up as spam as that happens too..;)
https://www.youtube. com/watch? v=TRou8B31Hic
No,not from play…A.R Orage…on love.
Thanx for U Tube….great..;)
Buy yourself a book called ‘Awakening The Spine’…by Vanda Scaravelli now deceased but worth every penny…grin
and keep ‘dancing’ I leave you with another quote from a diff source
“Gather All The senses that are usually extended towards the outer world and turn them within.. Move Them Inside”
Keep on trucking..I am very busy.. so will not be around much.. good tidings 🙂
SMiles.. penniewoodfall.. ‘Awakening The Spine’…by Vanda Scaravelli.. thanks..
i’ll read the book for free at Barnes and Nobles iF it is available while i ‘dance’ just like this below that i will embed and separate as link.. like i did the last Youtube
video i shared with you.. it’s a very a short example of what i do 166.66 miles a month on average since the end of August 2013.. coming to 6000 miles of effortless wind and water movement in early September of this year..
and yes i literally move like this when i read at Barnes and
Nobles.. listening to my favorite music at
the same NOW.. reading on average
10 to 15 times faster than
the average human
as my mind
and body
becomes
a finely
TuNinG
BaLanCinG
sports car noW
that is human
running on all
potential cylinders
more simply in balance.. my FriEnd..:)
https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v= W9TzfVdTzAs
Move
effortlessly
all in the day of A life..
or die.. much sooner..
Lesson of Nature and
God same my friend for
all the animals who have
physical intelligence for basic
survival in the animal kingdom..
to simply conserve energy to MOVE/LIVE…
i do the same ‘dance’ above in deep white
sands of the beach as i did the other day
for 6 miles in 112F degrees heat indices
with athletic shoes on clothed
in my year around attire now
as i never get TOO cold or hot..
as i have simply adapt in challenge
with Nature God as sAMe.. in balance
wHere now not unlike the planets and
Sun around each other and galaxies
around black hole suns i am a friend of
God and gravity same.. WE move noW for
existence all the same in balance.. while.. MRI’S
AND CAT SCANS say i have Severe Degenerative
Arthritis in my spine.. and spinal stenosis.. i do not
know how to either move or dance.. but i do FeeL/
SensE how to move in bliss.. simply as BaLanCinG
my friend.. one foot in deep white sand with the
other and one floats at 235LBS
no different
than
walking
on water..
except it is more
impressive.. as it looks/moves
like a planet/star more than a dork
moving one way as a domesticated
Robot… Nature and God sAMe is ‘ashamed’
of we human beings.. as we are one of few
that is too ‘retarded’ to even FucKinG exist
pain free and in the Heaven
of effortlessly moving
in balance
my friend..
where mind and
body and Nature/God are
all one Force MovinG
NOW as alWays
balance
for
EXISTENCE..
Existential intelligence
is in the forgetting of the illusion
of words as Gods and cars as lovers
and homes as God same.. or even clothes
that separate us from the oxytocin receptors
for Mother Earth on our feet.. and the Serotonin
Generated along with Dopamine and endorphins
when all our skin from head to toe feels the Sun
and we in turn become
a Sun.. a planet.. a Star
and a Galaxy and mini me’s
Radiating emotional/sensory FoRcE..
oF God and UniVerse wHole
and more.. sAMe.. by
simply
moving
effortlessly
one more
time that
is alwayS
now mY FriEnd..
generating our own
Sun as stars of energy..
better taught by watching
and doing what comes as Nature/GOD
now by doing it oneself with all innate
instinct and intuition.. and i don’t have
to sell a book.. as everywHeRe i go folks
video tape me and share me on Facebook FREE..
around the world.. i am known/FELT/said as a dance
legend.. an icon of dance.. the list goeS oN..
per spirit animal and the man who moves
like water… but i am simply a Lion on the
Savannah conserving
energy
to live

MLK quote on target. I prefer my chaos in smaller doses these days because the pubic at large has not the capacity to differentiate it from the stupidity which it imbibes to the point beyond intoxication, which is justification in its feeble cranial process (a generous moniker at best).
What say we punish the innocent cop for the bad behavior of the simpletons? Is that not what has caused the current uproar? IJS
Frank and I agree with Maggie Smith. Religion is like a penis. It is all well and good you have one and are proud of it. It is another thing entirely when you wag it in front of me.
How apt the name of your poem. Methinks it reminds me of Mantra’s understated titling. She has her own view of the calliope. http://mommasmoneymatters.com/carousel
My granddaddy had a Zen proverb: If your boss tells you to dig a hole and cover it up with dirt, dig and cover; it all pays the same.
Nietzsche is right. Again.
I am far less polite than Swift. Those who refuse to live receive my favorite curse: May all your children be born naked.
This is my take on it all: Civilization is like a thin layer of ice upon a deep ocean of chaos and darkness. ~ Werner Herzog
We partake in such delusion to think we can control chaos. At best, the smart ones learn to buckle into the roller coaster and enjoy the ride. ~ Red Dwyer
