Full moon rising…. 2014
Hajime…. My first remarks today are an apology, of sorts, to those of my Gentle Readers whose blogs I have seemingly boycotted in recent days. Generally, if I can sit for any appreciable length of time after posting the Daily Pearl, I will go to those sites, & leave comments, most of which have sublimated my ranting urges, enough to keep me from having to expunge that urge here. But, lately, I have been both unable to sit for long, and, unable to face commenting on issues in which I see so little reward for trying to join a dialogue. Perhaps it is because of the general sense of futility so prevalent in today’s world, where no good deed goes unpunished; perhaps it is just my own sense of the world’s state, which, needless to say, is NOT particularly hopeful of any reasonable resolution… Either way, I haven’t been commenting, & wish to relate my apology for that failure….
As for today, I have completed putting together today’s offering, but, cannot promise to pursue any surfing, or commenting later; I’m fighting a cold, (my own fault, as it always is, for waiting too long to begin the battle…. ), and spent yesterday on public transportation, (via ferry, train, & bus….) to travel to SF & back, to take care of some important business. Mission accomplished, but, given my only partially healthy state, put me well over my limits, enough to make today a slow recovery day. So be it. I can’t change the past (a lesson now well-learned….), so, I’ll just do what I can today to meet as many duties as I can, & not fret the rest.
To assist myself in that task, we’ll cut this short, (well, as short as it can be, having already meandered through a couple hundred words of blather….), & get on with the rest of today’s mess. I’ll even go so far as to do so without undue fuss, or any unreasonable delay. I do that, of course, like this….
Shall we Pearl?

Joe Friday’s lament
Life is short, and though I’m odd, they say
it really doesn’t bother me
to realize there is no God, per se.
Though other folks will disagree
and tell me I’m wrong
I won’t believe it, with naught to see.
Liars called padre tell me, have humility,
and do as the authorities say,
then fondle little boys with facility.
They also tell me to share the wealth
and give them a 10% tithe
so they don’t have get it by stealth.
So spare me the delusions, please
don’t bother with such a tale;
I’m nobody that needs such a tease.
Keep your fantasies under your hat
and out of my face;
I don’t need them, they’ll make me fat….. headed.

Today’s Pearl has been thrown together with some dispatch, though it may seem relatively smooth from the outside. It does have the one primary characteristic for which we continually aim, to wit: it’s done. To complement the relative efficiency shown in the intro, I’ll use the same technique to bring it to a rapid close. How rapid? Well, how’s this? See ya, ffolkes; I’ll be back, relatively soon, I’m sure. Until then, be strange; I find it to be a compellingly satisfying way to keep people on their toes….
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.

Apology accepted…..for I do miss your input, my friend…..but I can sympathize with your plight……I too have days when I prefer to stand back and I thank my drafts for the help….I hope you have a good Saturday and will see you later….chuq
Thanks for understanding; I figured, if anyone did, you’d be ‘im…. LOL. Been reading Joe Campbell, which convinces me I’m right to pursue my own vision quest, if only for a time… You have a good one, as well; I will try to get by, if I can work it….

Hello.. gigoid.. heHe.. a little behind in/on/as a lot of things
but since i don’t work i can continue to put off backing
up 22 MacroVerses to three Facebook Pages in terms
of a total of 132 Facebook statuses spread across
three pages in a bigger than biblical effort
as far as copy and paste and
Carpal Tunnel can travel
in a total of 864,000
words.. nah..
not gonna get it done
today.. so when i do i do..
and instead of do doing that now..
i am arriving heAR to catch up on the
latest of the 8 or 9 Current Efforts you make
HeRe as sometimes you have to do McDonald’s
and forgo the Buffet of play before it becomes yuck.. work again..
when one can play it is rather insane to go back to work.. hehe.. at least
as a practice.. hmm.. well considering it is the biggest Religious Holiday Weekend..
this weekend
other than
the religion
of Easter egg hunts
among children and yes
Christmas among 2.2 Billion
human beings around the world
who finally make it to church on Easter
Sunday all decked out in flowery
dresses.. can’t remember what
the men wore.. but i’m like
that.. a male of course..
and mostly i go to
church to see
women
in dresses..
i love women’s
legs and even yes..
ankles a delight it is to see..
thanks God i was raised as a Christian
as this is something Muslim Men do not get
to see.. hmm.. maybe the ankles though and ‘they’
do wear the best eye makeup over there and eyes i do
love the most of all iN Women as doorway to their soul their
heARt and if the pupils dilate.. it means they like me for
whatever reason just a little.. hehe.. maybe my endless
wit.. so see there are advantages of going to
church.. that and singing and for those
brave enough to hold a
Sacred Fool’s hand at
church instead
of issuing
a crown
of
thorns
at the door way
when i come in wearing
a Goat Shirt this Sunday..
i am a Goat.. i am a Ram i am
not a Domesticated Sheep who follows
the heARd Speak of so-called Saint
Trump Constantine and all his
continuing minions in
different clothings
and religions
and
men who
seek power and status
as part of the occupation desired
by those who check the psychopathy checklist
in the top 10 list of jobs… yes.. the clergy.. the goats
without a soul.. no where to make a living except for selling
snake oil of empty promises and illusory fears of something somewhere
but now where all can become sacred and holy and full of meaning and purpose NoW..
dARk to LiGht.. ‘tween Shades of Grey and beYond RainboW colors too for those who
have eYes
and eARs
beyond
the organs
that sEE and hEar..
iN Other words.. we have
many more intelligences and
feels and sees that eyes and ears..
and sure some folks can neither think much
in visual images or think much in words.. some folks
see green instead of red.. others feel beauty.. others never
stop to smell the flowers as they are just too busy in a world
of mechanical cognition full of worries.. some cannot feel beauty
at all.. some feel tHeiR only sick pleasure from the pain of others and
their selves and some of those from birth.. others who grow stone cold hearts..
a mix of UniVerses it is as far as how people perceive reaLiTy as is.. anyway as
the Biblical part of Matthew says.. don’t let the right hand know what the left hand
is doing when
one gives.. i say
Fuck no.. as the Golden
Rule comes much easier if
one gains a little more cognitive
empathy even above empath skills
born innate as such.. people are my
Hobby and for God is a three letter word
i choose with CaN and WiLL and Love to all of
Nature in the Interconnecting Interdependent relationship
of all that is.. as an integral paRt of all that is thaT Nature plUs
what i as a tiny speck as fractal pArT oF aLL the UniVerse PluS
am too.. as God me.. the self i recognize from the Gift of Life that
is Love
that is Will
that is a Divine Feminine
Grace and Love and a Divine
Masculine Will and Strength that
i am sentient star duSt Plus enough
as resurrection of StAR BurST Crucible
Fire Death.. to be heAR NoW to Co Create
as pART oF aLLthAT is.. yes parT and wHole
Ocean sAMe.. trUly A Miracle heHe.. that God has
come to speak on your blog now among an almost infinite
number oF oTheR eYes and eaRs thAT ‘we’ on this Beautiful
Blue and Green and Brown Orb can feel and sense in Agape Love
for the
Gift
of existence
to ace the test
of Existential Moving
Physical and Emotional
and Sensory Intelligences and
yes.. Experience too.. to be all we
can be or not.. or more or less as that
is the way the story goes to this now AFAIK..
some humans fly in feel and sense and others
wander the fields as sheep and do no more..
i’m a bit like Jesus and Lucifer in the
sense/feel i for one be all i can be
in respect and thanks for
this gift of life and
i am never
too
proud to realize
i am no more important
than the grain of sand that both
holds up mountains and humans
who express the greatest power and gift
of Nature and what i cALL GoD sAMe and
DiFFeREnt too.. that is Love.. for those who
have the abiLiTy and the Can and WiLL to take
that HiGher PoWer of Positivity in FeeLinGS and
SenSEs and Science and Art expression to the next
step where no one they kNow has gone before.. in an inner
outer and all around above so below UniVerse thaT Dan and WiLL
be the hUman experience more for those Goats with horns as Rams
who scale
the side
of Mountains
refusing to fall
down with can and WiLL
and if they are fully human..
yes.. Love too.. A wonderful
Adventure.. A beautiful Adventure
and A Wise and Strong Future NoW God
Lives within as Science and Art of BeinG hUman
Nature all reflects as hUman BeinG.. spArks oF LiGht more..
Now off to the rest of the
story for today my friEnd..
And perHaps i’LL back track
later and perHaps thIs will suffice
for all the inspiration plUs i have already
gained by reading it all with close to a photograph
memory for text.. hehe.. sMiLes.. nice to drop by aGaIN.. my FriEnd.. gigoid..:)

And that reminds me of an egghead
stuck in material reductionist left brain

who said i was a fool.. for dancing backwards
when science clearly sHows that doing stuff different
increases focus
and short term
working memory
and makes one FucKinG
smARTer than they were before..
as if that shouldn’t already be common sense
that physical and emotional and yes.. artful Intelligences
sAMe is/are the most important pArts of Success in liFe along
with a trust
in all that is

the human variety
that yes can now

And on top of that when one gains

Feet as Feat of Life..
Fingers only move so far
on Keyboards of Screen alone..
but sure.. they write personal bibles
that illustrate this and more so fingers are
holy and sacred full of meaning and purpose and all that is aka God too..
i think i’ll
write a book..
and interestingly
any book used to be
called a bible as literacy
was really rare back in the olden
Jesus Days in the Greek Days after
that when anyone had the abLiTy to write
anything at all down as recorded this or that
smARt
or
NoT..
And writing then
was Holy and Sacred
and FuLL of Meaning and
Purpose.. so yes.. back in them
days the standard for writing Bibles
was sub sub sub pAR for what that potential
in increasing existential intelligence is today for those
literate
and artful
enough
with
eYes and
eaRS that see
Deeper ‘tween the
lines of more to see..
And for those who can and
will write a mini-novel based and
inspired by just a few words from

Hola, my friend…. good to see you. Today’s response is more of a rap than a poem, it seems… and a good one, too. I’m still limited as to sitting time, but, want you to know I read, & enjoy, all your comments, even if I don’t always have the ‘ooomph’ to respond… I also haven’t been able to sit long enough to get through any of your recent posts, but, hope to be able to in the near future…. Wish Katrina a belated happy birthday for me, if you would, please…. Still dealing with BBR business today, & may need to babysit the g-d tomorrow, but, hope to get by next week, once I recover from this weekend….

I had to grin when I read the lines at the end… Just a few minutes ago, Smart Bee showed me a pearl, (which I didn’t use, but, now, just may, as it does fit in with the paradigm for today’s grouping process…), that gives an ironic twist of truth to this, to wit: “I was never here.” — Kilroy, in a recent interview….
When you see the coming necklace of pearls, you’ll see why it fits the paradigm, proving the presence, if not the tendency, of serendipity, once again….
