Ffolkes,

Hajime…. How’s it going, you ask? Well, I’ll tell ya…. On second thought, perhaps I won’t, since mostly what I’d have to say would reflect my current inner state, which can only be described as tentatively enraged, and, can only be ascribed to the manifestation of former indiscretions in the latter day. Is that sufficiently obscure to give the idea, without pulling any covers we’d rather not pull? Why, yes. Upon re-reading it, I think it manages that quite well. Since we are now at the closing lines of this paragraph, I believe I’ve saved us from what otherwise may have devolved, into a session of whining and sulking worthy of a two-year old.
That’s a good thing, right? Well, I think so, though this pedantic exploration of indistinct possibilities hardly serves the same purpose. But, though probably less entertaining for y’all, it’s kept me from losing what little credibility I might have counted upon, at least in my own eyes, if not yours. Given the scope of the condition already observed, I’m going to need all the credibility I can muster, if only to provide me with adequate chutzpah to finish what I’ve so inelegantly begun. ‘Twould doubtlessly be a far better thing to forgo any such displays of misspent angst, but, obsession has to count for something, or, what’s the point of doing this at all?
Hmm…. Now, that’s a question I am positive we’ll be better off not to explore too deeply. In fact, it tells me we’d best be on our way down the page, before anything happens to disengage our rationality any further; it’s already sprung several leaks, just getting us to this point in our narrative. To save us all from any embarrassment, I’m going to employ our most efficient tool to get us the hell out of here. It’s so efficient, I probably won’t even get to finish this paragraph befor….
Shall we Pearl?

Now I may wither into the truth.”

Unsolicited Gratitude
Fear becomes familiar when reality bodes us ill
pain assumes first position, no matter our will.
Powerless, we founder, no strength to prevail
anguished and afraid, against unwanted Fate we rail.
Still, a grain of hope deep inside, hidden well against need
gives us reason to survive, our starving souls to feed.
Failure of courage burdens time, of being bested,
until our souls, in submission, become foully infested.
Bitter tears wash through us each day, with little care,
no thought, no feeling, no wish, or need to be fair.
Rendered clueless, confusion falls upon us, as prey,
we surrender a piece of our soul, little as we may.
Yet, always, a bright beam of hope is seen from afar,
no matter how dreary, or dark, it may seem where we are.
None knows, nor would consent to tell, it seems
from whence it hails, or why it so brightly gleams.
Saving our sanity, absolving our unwanted fears,
dispelling the myths and lies that come with the years.
Each man has known the precious gift that hope may give
And gives glad thanks, as long as he may live.

Oh, look? I’ve made it to the end! If I seem a bit surprised, well, can you blame me? I mean, just look at the intro; we’re lucky to have survived, at all, ffolkes, so, let’s not bust our britches moaning about it, shall we? Instead, I’ll use a similar method as the one we employed in that now infamous intro, which allows me to say, see y’all tomorrow. Consider it your solitary warning….
Y’all take care out there,
and May the Metaphorse be with you;
Blessed Be, dearest Carole, Mark,Theresa, & Richy

Miss Crow is an excellent choice unlike her choice of boyfriend, Lance…but we all make mistakes, huh?
“I have a zero tolerance for sanctimonious morons who try to scare people.” Can you believe a twat like Pat Robertson said that?
The day begins and I want sleep….later my friend…chuq
LOL! Well, at that level of celebrity, i don’t suppose the choices are choice…
Pat R said that? Well, it’s always been clear that the higher mind-functions, such as sarcasm, irony, or discretion/tact are beyond his comprehension…
So, sleep, if you can; you were in the Army, so, you know that’s rule 1… Take care, feel better; I’ll be by later…

Top of the shorTest day noW Now
of the year.. my FriEnd gigoid.. to yA..
hmm.. now that i no longer work and can
Stand the liGht of Day with eYes and
ears heaLed to enjoy all of
Nature Free.. a loss of a
few hours of sunlight
and a decade of
degrees or so
now and
then is not
a big deal with
wheels re-Tired
wiTh tread once aGain..
iT took actUally a total
of not jusT 66 months but
actually more like 90 months
as all my Fresh Hell staRted iN
the January of 2006 when i first
could not stand colors on a screen..
strangest thing.. i could watch black
and white TV but colors hurt me.. oh so bad..
no doctor has yet to explain why that happened yet..
anyWay.. moral of that story.. perHaps you’LL evenTuaLLy
get your tire tread thicker and more painless back too.. no one
thought.. not even a doctor.. it could happen for me.. never the less
it did as
reported
as actual
miracle
by at
least one
of those professionals who experienced
the same beyond normal expectations
and limitations for her in later age too..
anyWay.. the human body is an amazing
enough machine to make challenge and
adaptation in epigenetic and neuroplastic
change a real deal for either positive or negative
change now too.. with enough rest and work for that..
in whatever works or does not work in the neXt noW Now..:)

iS in the otHeR
place.. noW
at least aNow
for me.. words
are jusT sHells
with no jELLy
FeeLinG
oF Fill my
FriENd..
it’s amazing
as when i lost the
oxytocin feeling of
warm and fuzzy.. and
oh my God that was way
way back.. as long as the
early 2000’s or so.. i had no
idea what it meant then as i had
never attached the words to the feeling
while i still had those oxytocin warm and fuzzies
before in liFe.. i suppose for so long the only thing
that gave me that was a pet of a cat and that is always
why i have been terrified of losing cats as for so long
even a cat who belonged to someone else down the road
named Elwood was the string left attached to my heart.. devastating
when we had to put him down back in the late 90’s about 16 years
old.. and his twin brother Jake replaced him for about a year until
he died after that.. and then there was Arthur but it took him
years to become a warm and fuzzy cat that gave
those feelings too.. until he got back into
the house and started laying around
in warmth away from killing
fields of cold yards then..
these seas of emotions
were so hard for me to
navigate back then..
but now i finAlly
master them
in words
and
feelings
saMe.. perHaps
i call heaven so many
things because hell was so
many more things of before my friEnd..
anyWay.. i appreciate having these feelings
now.. understanding how to water them..
feed and grow them and continue
to keep them alive
like i do this
wRite now..
surely a Tree
fuLL of Leaves now..:)
