Ffolkes,
“Still crazy after all these years.”
~~ Paul Simon, speaking for us all ~~
Two seconds from madness….
Hajime…. Framed in the doorway stood a giant…. No, that’s not going to do it.
The sun slowly rose over a grisly scene…. Nope. Try harder….
The old man sat, shivering in the cold, at a bus stop at the north end of town. He rose, stiffly, to board the bus as it pulled to a halt in front of him, shuffling aboard with his tattered valise. Fingers fumbled to push the fare into the turnstile, as the driver waited, impatiently drumming his own fingers on the wheel, as if to hurry the oldster along…..
That’s probably enough. It will have to be enough, because the effort it took to cudgel the above out of my head has already exhausted the small amount of energy/creativity I have this morning. Can’t say why I’m so tired, as I got a good 8 hours down; more age related bullshit, I imagine. Oh, well, at least I managed to put this Pearl together, even if there was no conscious contribution to the end result; the process pulled my blank mind all the way through without even a whimper of protest, or, for that matter, notice.
Since that’s the case, I’ll not bother to make any assumptions, or claims, as to either quality or quantity. It is what it is, and that’s all that it is; it’s a Popeye blog today. I can’t believe I just said that; hell, I’m not too happy I thought it, much less typing it. But, I’m honest, if not talented, so, it will have to do for today. Rather than continue to stumble around here in the intro, why don’t we go down, and stumble around the ending? I think that’s a fine idea….
Shall we Pearl?….
“Today for show and tell
I’ve brought a tiny marvel of nature:
a single snowflake.
I think we might all learn a lesson
from how this utterly unique and exquisite crystal
turns into an ordinary, boring molecule of water,
just like every other one,
when you bring it in the classroom.
And now, while the analogy sinks in,
I’ll be leaving you drips and going outside.”

Yep. I’m feeling lazy today, so, naturally, I’ll be going with our default music. There’s a good reason for it; just listen, & you’ll know…. Enjoy!…

Serendipity Morning
My mind wants to fly,
my soul wants to hold close, the source,
strong, the moments of time;
each as precious as golden thread,
binding together such elements of longing desire.
Love hovers, always patient,
seeking the open heart,
reaching for the promise of tomorrow…..
only for one, only for now, only what is real….
Dreaming, the morning calls,
heavy with mordant belief,
replete, and eternally alive…..

Well, since I made it this far, I guess I’ll go post this…. well, whatever it is. I’ll even do so without any particular contortions here at the end. Instead, I’ll merely say, see ya tomorrow, ffolkes. You might want to put that in your calendar….
Y’all take care out there,
and May the Metaphorse be with you;
Blessed Be, dearest Carole, Mark,Theresa, & Richy

Which is Why….
Sometimes I sits and thinks,

À bientôt, mon cherí….
gigoid 
Today violin music would make me suicidal….so I am listen to Jethro Tull…..I want to rip my neighbors basketball hoop down and shove it where the sun don’t shine…okay I feel better already…..have a day my friend….chuq
LOL! I can relate: I have neighbors (thru the wall neighbors) who can’t seem to talk without shouting at each other…. and, I’ll agree; Jethro would be a better choice for such a day…
Glad you got some of it out…. I’ll be by, but, busy day, so, comments may be short… S’okay, often better that way; I stick closer to the point….
Feel better, bro….
gigoid
Matter not..your comments are always appreciated….see ya later….chuq
[Picked up a ‘Serendipity’ pearl today.] 😊
Excellent! Glad you enjoyed it, my friend…

“Still crazy after all these years.”
~~ Paul Simon, speaking for us all ~~
SMiLes.. the years that
led to insane were the
years i tried my
best
not
to be crazy..
now that i am
crazy again
i am
in
sane..:)
Anyway.. Hello gigoid.. .been
circling the globe lately..
and the metro
area dancing
as usual
and
other
places deep
deep deep
within me..
so here i am
three behind and
circling here again for
whatever may come next and
the word bombastic comes to mind
as i think about other World Wars and
how important words in diplomacy can be
to avoid
the big
shit when
it hits most all
the fans and clogs
them up for a thousand
or so years until the last human
bug has been fumigated.. including
their byproducts off the earth
as culture total per
se that is
the
virus now
currently greatest
inhabiting the planet
Earth.. sure.. it’s likely a
substantial meteor came
to make the Gulf of Mexico
and make way for
all of us hairless
ground apes
to propagate
our cultures
as domesticated
will fall from grace.. well..
i’m still hairy.. heHe.. in more
than one crazy innate.. instinctual..
and intuitive way.. Life is Good.. Life is Great
and if the Trump spray eradicates most of that..
let’s hope that something rises after that thaT can
enjoy itself without discontent.. and all the other stuff
that comes from little men who are not big enough to live as gRains of sAnd..:)
And oh by A way..
sorry age is catching up
to you again.. i thought it caught
up with me at 20.. 21.. and 47..
now i escape
it again@53..
for
Now
as only foR
Now is now..aGaiN..:)
And as i remember at the
lowest bottom of that
pit i had
dreams
of drowning
in the ocean
and becoming
one with waves..
sugar white sand..
emerald green water..
swaying sea oats on
dunes of breeze..
only problem
was and
is
then
i couldn’t breathe
underwater.. the air i am.. now..:)
The thing is my friend
i know pain and
numb
all
so well
to sTiLL relate..
i really don’t think/feel
tHeRe have been many
folks who have been
to all the places
i reALLy
have
been iN so many shoes
of so many pains.. numbs
and joy now to relate as
the pie is whole
for me
now with no
want of escape.. as long as
i can smile one grin i can’t imagine
ever wanting to escape aGaiN.. mY FriEnd..:)
