Ffolkes,
“The deeds you do today may be the only sermon some people will hear today.”
~~ St. Francis of Assisi ~~
Calico in sepia….
Hajime…. There is a little place in my head where ideas form; it seems to live between the state of full mindful consciousness and dreams, though the exact location remains mysterious, as it, like everything else, moves around a lot. Some days, I can find it easily, & the words flow like good wine at a bacchanal. Other days, of which today seems to be one, I can wander for what seems to be weeks in the empty hallways of the mansions of my mind without ever encountering even a whiff of fresh thought. When I sat to begin today, I had intended to discuss the process, but, as the hours, and days passed in my head, I realized such an intention would only make the gods laugh….
Finally, I gave up, as you see by the exposition which opens our missive. Not terribly compelling, but, honest. If there were any way, at this juncture, to go back & start over, I’d consider it well; since there doesn’t seem to be anything, in my head, or in the surrounding locus, that might offer such an opportunity, I may as well just get us down the page, where there is some great music, and an interesting group of rather inscrutable pearls, for y’all to chew on. It ain’t Ibsen, but, it’s art, I suppose. Y’all may, of course, make your own judgment on that, but, for now, it’s our story, & we’re sticking to it.
I don’t believe this horse is going to come back to life, so, I’ll quit beating on it, so we can get on with the rest of this mess. If I had any true compassion, I’d offer my apologies for this intro, but, I don’t. Not at this time of the morning, anyway. But, I do have my sense of ruthlessness, which has saved us many times in the past. That, of course, works like this….
Shall we Pearl?
“Bother!”, said Pooh, as time unraveled around him.

While cruising old You Tube videos the other day, I came across this old recording from back in the day (1976, in this case), which gives a very clear idea of why I fell in love with this artist’s work, and have carried that torch for all the intervening years. The only reason she is not my favorite redhead in the world is because I know another one personally. She can’t sing, or play guitar like Bonnie, but, she’s even more talented, in her own way…. Bonnie, who plays and sings like an angel, always makes me smile, and sigh…. and dance….

Ah Ain’t Sho, but Mebbe So….
Fried eggs got nuthin’ on me
Ah’m not even sure of mah name,
or how Ah come to be;
no idea from where Ah came.
Ah does like a mystery tho’,
puzzlin’ things out so’s Ah knows,
good from bad fo sho,
Ah sho don’t want no rock pillows.
If’n Ah cain’t figure out what’s best,
Ah just falls back on mah Daddy’s words,
seems he knowed just whut’d stand the test,
‘n how to gentle the scaredest birds.
‘Course, he’d lived a good long time,
‘n had lots of stuff go on by;
Went to a war, n’ lost a piece or two,
never once used it fer an alibi.
He tol’ me once Ah’d best learn to learn,
school’s only cool if ya ain’t already a fool.
Yer own good measure you can earn,
by startin’ yer learnin’ with the Golden Rule.
Always seemed to me as Ah growed up,
he mostly only spoke if it wuz true,
‘n by doin’ that clued me to what’s up,
kept me from stuff that’d a made me blue.
Without ever sayin’ the word itself,
Ah learned ’bout honor, ‘n helpin’ others
not some fake stuff from some shelf,
but, knowin’ whut’s right, ‘n that we’re all brothers.
Ah’ve been around long enough now, Ah think
to get around the block at least two times.
I s’pose long as my head don’t shrink
Ah’ll keep on doin’ right, ‘n makin’ these rhymes…..

Having fulfilled the minimum standards for a Pearl, I declare it done. So done, I can’t think of anything to say that would improve matters; in fact, it all feels like the slightest wrong move will bring it tumbling down around my ears. I’ll just end it here, quickly, & take my chances it will fly. Y’all have a good day out there in the BBR, as best you may. I’ll do the same, & maybe, tomorrow, we can do this again. Worth a shot, right? See ya….
Y’all take care out there,
and May the Metaphorse be with you;
Blessed Be, dearest Carole, Mark,Theresa, & Richy

Hmm.. i suppose the reason i have always been so much fascinated by PHI per Golden Mean Spiral Mean Ratio of 1.618 per number too.. is my Birthday of 6660 as Displayed on Driver’s
License and taken as Devil Evil by some Carding Cashiers iN Trump Red State.. LA Lower Alabama.. State of Flowers shaped like a Gun in County or Roses otherwise known
as Santa Rosa Florida in a Milltown with first School
Kindergarten Years at Saint Rose of
Lima Parish Catholic
Church too.. yes..
also Nautilus
Logo for three
Degrees
at the
University
of West
Florida
and Nautilus
formed machines
to gain strength
in work out
ways now2..
STiLL
6 and or
9 as a
general
pattern and
portrayal as the
Pattern seen all through out
Nature through Sub-Atomic particles
Below and Within inside.. outside to Above
as Spiral of Galaxy to all around as the fetus
and cat comfortably curl and Hurricane arms
Spiral around calm center eYe FloW iN ZoNe
as Nature waves heR and hE and etC Spirals
all around as far as human and science aided
eYes see too.. wonderful symbol that 6 and 9 trUly
are and 9 and 6.. if one wants to avoid over-populating the
earth more now too.. in ways of human cultures and or religions
that have become the virus humanifest in Malignant Patriarchal
Fashion of not only dominating each other and those ‘normally’ naked
below us on the Food Chain now.. but the tool for Creature comforts or the
Devils Brew in-concert as Cancer taking away Life on this eARTh now in the
Beauty of Bio-Diversity that still exists so far and as Long as Trumps do not rule
the world.. it’s a will and it’s a choice but moreover it IS A hope and love that cares
that will move the World to true Strength and WiLL under the Force of Hope and Love..
anyway.. the Hope
to take away from the
Story is humans are not
ruled by words alone in books
of veiled ignorance.. altruism all Naturally
Born and Bred as a Garden oF Love counts
too when GroWn that way more.. and that’s the thing
that helps in countries who do offer Parental help to
raise children more with love and meals that help a
growing body Mind and Soul with plenty of Heart and
Spirit to set the world on Freer.. PlAtitudes.. yes.. Sentimental
Mush as ‘they’ say too.. but the world always runs on the Love of
a Mother and Nature
or not as we are
more clearly
seeing
now.. the
only Best Choice is Love
but one must make love for that to Happen..
so.. anyway.. reaching the milestone of 1.618 Million
words today as i started out with needing about 2070 words
at the first word heaR.. i FeLt and SeNSed.. iT would only be fitting
to come here last as my first inclination to write any book was inspired
heaR first.. and i really don’t know why other than the muse of inspiration
more i found and find here.. my FriEnd gigoid.. it’s not every year someone
writes a 1.618 Million Word “PHI Bible”.. in fAct it’s next to never on Earth so far
in just one year for sure.. yep.. 40 times the size of a Forty Thousand word Novel..
20 times the size of an old timey Kuran and more than twice the size of the King
James version of a Bible that took Centuries and many folks to create and revise
over and over and copy so many times by hands of scribe2.. this is a brand new experiment
since the mid 90’s when computers became more available for personal usage to wider
spread of broad band access in the 2000’s.. to the first iPhone for Hand Held perusal
of the world’s science and art knowledge in 2007 as we come to celebrate
the 10th anniversary of that with a likely iPhoneX as name to honor
that achievement too.. technology overall per that other “Moore’s
Law” is catching up to the speed and Flow of my brain overall
with the transhumanist tools i use as i continue to
branch out more.. in faCt.. this race against
man and machine where the machine
initially enhances the mind and
the mind overcomes matter
has been going
on with
me ever
since.. i bought in ’95..
my first Quantex Computer
with what was a big CRT Screen
then at 21 inches and with Printer
at Four Thousand Dollar Purchase in
debt for everything else too.. thing is
before that everyone else was ahead of me..
long past college rotting in a close to minimum
wage job.. as far as intellect but not soul as it was
all about serving other folks by heARt of Giving and
sharing for practically nothing as has always been the rule
of my life anyway.. so far.. and that’s the way i like it even more..
Be all you can be.. ‘they’ told i would not be enough.. i say thank you..
‘you’ are correct for there are no limits or expectations in my life that say
this enough.. and then they said ‘you are too much’ and i say FucK you
very nicely as get ‘your’ story straight.. first you said i was not enough.. hehe..
it’s kinda hilarious if you think about it and even more when you personally feel
and sense the all paths and Journey of the Archetypal hero as you kNow and
FeeL and SenSE WeLL too my FriEnd.. nothing new.. similar characters different
actors in the Grand play of LiFe iN DaRk and LiGht and sHades of Grey and Rainbow
Colors too.. as this puts me up to about 1000 words away from the PHI Golden Mean
Number of 1.618 Million words.. in a year of writing now.. thing is.. the most number of
inspired words came from here as well as additional Wisdom from the Sages of the
Ages that you provide under your own volition in style of personal creativity too..
and that’s how we got heAR in the first place now.. people with different
Knowledge Skills and Abilities in KSA’s and Innate Instinctual Intuitive
Skills and
Abilities
in ISA’s..
the way the
equation changes
iN beyond synergistic
ways now as we connect
now with Global hands and eyes..
it’s never happened before and the synergy
of Human Intelligence of both Science and Art
in Human Potential has never been measured or empirically
assessed before as no one has tools big enough and small
enough to do that now.. in repeatable way of experiment
with controls now as everything is connected
and there is no way to separate
all the variables that
play in the
soup
of
Human
Potential now..
so my revelation is this
in the ending words of this
PHI Bible now as i will go on
to describe that whole Process of
getting to this point now.. in the coming
“Memorial Days Bible 2017-17” to be published
on May 29th accordingly and in thanks to the blood
and bones i stand upon of those who did/do most definitely
fight and die for my hUman Freedoms as without Freedom of Expression
and the ability STiLL to Parody the failures of Politicians and be all we be as
human beings NoW iN greater more available and accessible avenues to create
Science and ARt.. all of this would be a ‘mute’ point now.. and life goes backwards
without Human Freedoms at the most base of Freedom of Expression now in First
Amendment Rights.. this is a tiny sliver of Heaven for all of what existence can be seen
through Rocks of no liFe to Dead Seas and places that ‘Demons’ WiLL fear to tread..
so i take full advantage
of this opportunity
of what has been
both a curse and
blessing as an
experience of life
in both Suffering and Bliss
Beyond and as my Wildest
Imagination and Creativity come to
Fruition still now soon to reach that age
of 57 that i once thought was the end of
life for old men on Mall Benches for
those who do not fall
to early
disability
as i did too..
recovering all the way
back to more than i ever
could possibly imagine then
could be possible for anyone and
most definitely including me who was
not even comfortable in my own skin at
the smallest heights of Maslow’s Pyramid of Self Actualization..
bottom lines are most of us can and will do more than we thOught
possible if we can and will eliminate all the negative feelings
and senses out of our lives.. and yes.. that’s Yogi Territory
and most people do not live in Ivory Towers
separated from the Stress of Life..
but yes.. some people do..
and yes.. they are
the lucky
ones too
with so
much effort..
but if nothing
else ‘they’ prove what’s
possible in case study way
as Lord knows.. even if there were
empirical ways to measure it those would
be considered unethical as Human Science too..
anyway.. i know and feel and sense no better day
to live my FriEnd than now and i suppose that is key too..
alWays
key
Now too..
AnyWay. around 150 words
more to go kNow wHeRe riffing
off of Pearls as Wisdom now
Will likely Bring PHI

Wisdom
in Metaphor
more of 1.618 Million words..;)

So i
rise even more..:)
Considering the overall
relatively speaking most
painful event of life as ‘they’
say is losing your first Love Can
and Will be.. i was first gonna use
the Song my First Girl Friend and
i were Dancing too at the Disco when
she broke up with me in 1979.. first depression
over the loss of a Human Love can be a hardest
Depression of all.. little did i know then that was just
a cake
walk
for
what
was yet
to come..
so instead of playing
After the Love is gone
by Earth Wind and Fire i choose Rise
by Katy Perry as her Fire work song helped
Save my soul in 2010 too.. after all we’re all reLated..
And i suppose i could dedicate this whole thing to my
Dog named Charlie who was hit by a Bus in Middle
School and was my only real friend out of school
it seems like then.. but he didn’t decide to
Leave me on purpose and Sonia
did.. thing is i have a lot to
Thank Sonia for too..
as that grief never
fully resolved
enough to fully love
again is what helped bring
me back from the Dead Zone in 2013..
when i wrote a story named Autistic Love Letters
and put up her photo and the pain i blocked out for
decades i didn’t know still existed came back and i finally
got over her and the Love came back as just a block in my head
created in a juvenile Love as heart.. if it wasn’t for that reservoir
of grief that existed i might still be living in pain.. but no i cannot
dedicate this
to her
as for
without
my Mother
i would have
never Grown
in the first place as Love
but anyway here’s another
toast to that 16 year old girl Sonia
And a Song that goes along with it into the night..
that just so happens to be Katrina’s favorite song
as she remains the eternal teenager who was the
one i have always been looking
for
and
found..
that’s what built
Coral Castle you know..
a Hundred Lb Man lifting
30 ton stones by himself building
a Castle over the altar of a 16 year girl who
didn’t even exist anymore.. it’s all about muse
my friend the essence of the muse no matter the
imagined
or created
or real form..
as the essence is muse..
There’s this one sweet young woman
who came in last night at Seville and
who has come in before and
she could
be Sonia
and Katrina’s
Daughter too..
something about
the eyes and the smile of
an Angel that’s eternal.. mY FriEnd
and yes there are many others too..
it’s all i ever see.. the eYes and sMiLe oF SoUL..:)
