Our buckets weren’t anointed first….

Ffolkes,

“When someone loves you for a long time,
really loves you,
then you become Real.
Generally, by the time you are Real,
most of your hair has been loved off,
your eyes drop out,
but this doesn’t matter . . .
when you are Real you can’t be ugly.”

Hajime…. Today didn’t begin well. I’ll skip the details, as relating them would only serve to reignite my feelings, which I’ve just managed to put back into the bottle. Suffice it to say, I’m not in the best of moods, and shall be making a strong effort to keep from allowing my human nature to assert itself. If I don’t, there could conceivably be much to regret tomorrow.

That said, I’ll also make another ruthless, executive-style decision about today’s Pearl, to keep this intro, and the closing section, short and sweet. Well, short, anyway. To do so is, in truth, quite a simple matter, which I should probably employ more often. I won’t, but, I should. But, if they all looked like this, I’d go off the deep end in a matter of days. Wouldn’t want that, would we? No…. So, let’s do this, instead….

Shall we pearl?….

Given my incredibly foul mood, I’m going today with some relaxing mood music, that always seems to soothe my Celtic soul…. Enjoy!….

Is It Alive?

Fighting into the light, words push hard to exist
each step closer to real brings another unique twist.
Shedding meaning for meaning, until bright, alone, and right
sculpting useless shapes, yet undefined, in pale morning’s light.

Never knowing the face is part of the lasting charm
bringing elegant focus, before sounding the alarm.
Advantageous time sends out messages, fears finding voice,
mulling options for flexibility, virtually without choice.

Fortunate man, who embraces the power of change;
’tis magical knowledge, bonding common to strange.
Weaving words of wonder, made strong by love and duty,
into a tapestry of life, and everlasting beauty.

  2. So.. i see i was actually 5 behind.. time
    really flies in the floW iN the Zone..
    so here i come back to
    the furthest pArt and
    advance back
    to second from
    first and yes this
    calls for a half time
    song for the second
    half that is longer than
    the first.. so.. i’ll go with
    the year 2013 and the
    Super Bowl 47.. literALLy
    and figurativELy.. A half time show
    celebrating a real new sTArt now of
    Apocalypse in lifting the veils of
    Ignorance after the end of
    2012.. per December
    21st and all of that
    say so
    of
    half
    lower than
    empty in end
    of the world rumors
    and wishes for folks who
    do not find heaven on earth
    here and wish for more in a sentient
    star dust dirt nap after aS Such.. ugh.. hmm..
    anyway.. is it no wonder there was incredible
    motivation to migrate over to a New World to escape
    the monarchies of religious rule ‘over there’ WitH a freedom
    that is the God of nature for the free masons that founded
    a country with the one eye of Horus Wisdom as planted
    sTiLL on a Dollar Bill sAMe.. weLL.. of course not..
    an iSREAL God OF Nature place whEre wE liGht
    uP hUman potEntial toGeTheR BaLanCinG
    iT all toGethER IS A new age oF
    child-like wonder and amazement
    that some of us already live in
    noW iN metaphor of a rapture
    as such to free OuRselves
    from the matrix’s of bEfore..
    anyway.. creative types.. all creative
    open minded liberal types.. are most always
    the first to escape out of a cave.. and explore
    new heights of hUman poTenTial in an ongoing
    Lombardi excellence that goes further than
    trophies and championship rings
    and other fleeting
    memories of
    material
    stuff
    that is
    not the hiGher
    hUman poTEntial
    as FiRe of Excellence
    insSidE of Olympic FlAme
    torch that never burns out
    aCross a lifetime.. in dARk and
    liGht and ‘tween all of that in those
    sHades of grey and beYond rainBow coLors
    that can and will come with persistence of SeeKinG..
    FinDinG this hiGher poWEr within.. employing it alWays
    for free in constant practice toward greater heiGhts of liGht..
    and sure.. Beyonce breaks through mainly in her art of dance..
    thaT sets her apARt from the crowds of artists too.. in her formative
    years.. sAMe as the other prodigy of Rihanna in her free dance too…
    Whenever my wife really wants to get my attention in the iN ZonE noW
    oF FloWinG creatiVity she juSt does the trick and treat of walKing past
    me au-naturale.. gifted this way no less than Beyonce.. overall.. still at age 46..
    so what does that do.. sure.. it raises healthy levels of dopamine in my bRain even
    hiGher.. i AM distracted even hiGher in creative and productive ways and take my
    art even hiGher
    no different
    than dance
    niGht as
    an all natural
    pill of sorts too..
    to fuel my creativity
    the next day too.. here’s
    the thing.. we are human..
    these are the attributes that
    increase human creativity
    and productivity.. and not
    to use our God given potential
    in all the ways that comes.. is none
    the less more as against God of Nature noW
    as gifted in our higher potential of Human Nature
    Now.. in other words.. consensual porn is holy and sacred
    for those who use it as such in moderation to expand tHeir
    holy and sacred huMan poTEntial now.. the advantage of
    living with an iSREAL God inside as liGht instead of
    ignorance As those Beyonce hips of dance liGht
    me up all ready for the second half of this
    no different than i somewhat manage
    to liGht off the female audience
    as such on Thursday niGht..
    still at 56.. wHere the
    nicest compliment
    i received so
    far was
    when
    a pretty
    girl yelled out
    to her friend.. that
    is the kinda guy i am
    gonna marry one day..
    all based on my moves
    of creativity.. oh.. the simple
    trUth my FriEnd.. when we go
    all natural.. liGht comes too.. in
    all the ways for free.. it wasn’t quite
    like what ‘that woman’ offered Whitman
    in his day butt hey.. ain’t no grabs here..
    jusT eYEs oF Love on FiRe in LiGht..;)

    Creativity
    is birthed

    aS iN the end of July 2013..
    three years and three months of fear free..

    ~~ Native American advice ~~

    The two innate human instincts
    of fear from birth that do exist
    is the fear of noises and heights..
    i am fear
    free as
    i don’t
    go near heights..
    loud music stimulates
    me.. but a cricket used
    to sound like a freight train
    back in hell of torture and hearing misery then..;)

    “The psychic task which a person can and must set for himself
    is not to feel secure,
    but to be able to tolerate insecurity.”

    ~~ Erich Fromm ~~

    Bullshit..
    insecurity
    is illusory fear..
    when not instinctual
    or real of course..
    it makes humans
    weaker in neurochemical
    and neurohormone way..
    not everyone
    can escape
    T H a T..
    but i have
    by facing
    death
    square in the
    eye and seeing
    it for the blessing
    it truly is from suffering worst
    than any death imaginable to the great escape
    of void
    that
    some
    folks see..
    and no that cognitive
    process is not nearly enough
    i am fearless because i faced my
    insecurities.. practicing them in real life
    and extinguished them same in both a hazing
    and adventure
    therapy
    aS SaMe..
    sure.. same
    as they do
    to folks in
    so-called secret
    societies like Free Masons
    and such.. i took it much much farther
    than they
    ever
    dream
    oF..
    hehe..
    and iT FucKinG
    A works from A past Z..
    and it’s still worth noting that
    at one point my previous psychiatrist
    said i had the worst case of anxiety he
    had ever dealt with.. this coming from an Air
    Force Major dealing with combat fatigue from
    war and
    associated
    PTSD..
    that i also
    had along
    with Panic Attacks
    before i let all that go
    as a practice and
    continuing one of fearless now..
    seriously.. even the physical act of
    dancing 6000 miles of public dance
    in martial arts and ballet-like dancing
    in three years sounds somewhat daunting
    but the strength comes from the fACT that
    almost everyone would be terrified to dance at all solo.. anywhere at all..
    truly
    worst
    than a fear
    of public speaking.. overall..
    that no longer scares me either..
    hehe.. as long as i dance and sing togEtheR..;)

    so much
    when i do this too..;)

    Yeah.. my older female
    co-worker gave me a bust
    of an ear to ear smiling goofy statue
    that said ‘keep smiling..
    the boss
    loves
    idiots’..
    hey.. what
    can i say.. there
    were so many pretty
    girls at the Bowling Center then…
    and sure.. at least one of them liked
    my smile
    enough
    to marry
