Ffolkes,
“I’m not afraid of storms, for I’m learning how to sail my ship.”
~~ Louisa May Alcott ~~
Leelu’s cousin Mimi….
Hajime…. I will not say ‘Good morning’, for, thus far, it has not been so. I feel like crap, which wouldn’t be such a bad thing, if it were not preventing me from seeing my grandson today. I hurt, thanks to the weather, while other age-related issues have complicated the process of dealing with it. If I weren’t scheduled to go have fun, I’d just stay home and deal; as it is, I still have to stay home & deal, but, with the added fillip of being bummed over it. Ah, well…. piss on it.
I know; not very composed, or, nice, for that matter. But, I’m a little short of the milk of human kindness just now, so, we’ll all have to deal. It’s bad enough to feel so cruddy, without adding in the bonus of curmudgeonry gone sour. I suppose the only thing to do is to go force Smart Bee to cooperate, and put out a Pearl. If nothing else, the act of going through the process should help to distract me from the issues long enough to get a handle on the day. We can hope, right?
Right. So be it. I don’t have enough in me today to even attempt any further literary accomplishments. Hell, I don’t have enough in there to even care. To avoid setting any inconvenient patterns, I’ll end this intro post haste, and try to get this done before it all goes wonky on me. Of course, we started the day wonky, so, that may be a bit optimistic. But, it’s the best I can do; as we are so fond of reiterating, all you can do is all you can do. In that spirit, let’s go on….
Shall we Pearl?….

All my regular Gentle Readers know what’s coming now. Those who may be here for the first time may now note, and file, this information, to wit: in such situations, we resort to our default musical choice, known far and wide as “classical” music…. I’ve picked out a collection of the best classical guitar for your listening pleasure today….. Humanity has already established the value of all of this music, by enjoying it for the past several hundred years…. Y’all may as well enjoy it, too….

Momentary Terror
Absently casual, memories pester endlessly
leaving only bleeding remnants, amiable and loving.
Coming awake, I cry to still the pain, shamelessly.
Elsewhen, time gives surcease, if only to live,
shoring broken pilings, worn and gray.
Passing on, I laugh at the pain, accept all it will give.
Time will build a shelter, warm and ever safe
save for Fate’s busy hands.
Enduring, I follow the pain, knowing it will chafe.
Fixed against a darkened sky of starry black
such beauty brings us to our knees.
Entranced, I welcome the pain, ’tis all I lack…..

I think, all things considered, the last pearl is our best bet at understanding what happened here today. Since we don’t have any trolls handy to ask, I suppose we’ll just call it a wash, and get on with the day. In retrospect, I don’t believe we have any other choice. We do, however, retain the option to do this again tomorrow; we’ll exercise that option tomorrow morning, regardless of how anyone else feels about it. Can’t say any fairer than that…. See y’all tomorrow, ffolkes; this is your final warning….
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.

“I’m not afraid of storms, for
I’m learning how to sail my ship.”
~~ Louisa May Alcott ~~
Best thing about ships
is you can
alWays
lEarn
to
sail
them in different
ways of change and
poTenTial better to navigate
the storms of life.. calling occupants
of most extraordinary craft as Karen Carpenter
might say.. we sentient star duSt plus on any planet
we steer on as we are all diverse in difference but same
in origin of crucible fire of star burst first.. the world would be
a much more wonderful place if we could see the crucible of human
beings as star dust plus rather than reduced to colors of skin.. nationalities..
creeds.. sexual orientations.. disabilities.. the list goes on but i for one friEnd
have aLways
seen liFe
this way
as i AM
born
noW star
seed too..
and reMain
loyal to the
Force within
as Sun lives
within still.. inside
outside.. above.. so
below and all around..
if i could just say it in a way
that all would hear sAMe but
iF that were so.. the plus pArt oF
Star duSt.. the Beauty of Bio and
Neuro-Diversity different would no
longer be flowers brilliant beyond rainbow
colors albeit bLack and wHite only in some
cases of diversity too… anyWay.. i can hOld on liGht Force noW..
to my TrUth as LonG as my Fire iNside of Sun continues on FReED..:)
“Every child is born a genius.”
~~ R. Buckminster Fuller ~~
The core of
genius
is
seeing
no limits
or expectations
of rules from before..
the Jimi Hendrixes.. the
Syd Barretts.. the Steve Jobs..
Einsteins.. ALL the ‘crazy’ children
who never grew up and did something
different in mark of remarkable way not seen before..
the child
fearless..
no brakes
from before
who sees and feels
and senses so much more
than prisons and bars of ‘fore..
as imagination and creativity grows naked..
as child coming into the world alWays reneWed..
seeing and doing a view never seen or done BefoRe..:)
“I’m going to happy dance among the stars and
wear my stripes anyway I want to.”
~~ Stripes the tiger ~~
And then the youth
from Stripe’s High School
came
back as
new and promoted
Stripes to legend..;)
You kNoW as a high
school freshman sitting
in the stand of football games..
not having the coordination or fearless
to play football hero.. i often dreamed sitting
there with so much running speed inside of
Force of
energy
and
emotional
desire to run
and up and down
the field endlessly
and score touchdowns
to the roar of fair maidens
cheerleading same.. i honestly
never expected to experience that
in my
mid
50’s
hehe..
on just
a whim of
a dance spRinG
for free and fun noW
in public with no fear..
never stepping foot in that
school still for decades now..
miracles
come
noW iN
the strangest
of interplanetary craft
my friEnd but what alWays
makes ET great is the size of
his or her.. eTc.. heARt.. not the size
of brain.. or biceps or any other tools alone..
turn
on your
heARt liGht
more.. don’t settle
for fAMe and forTune
as legend comes from
every step/word made and never given up..:)
