Ffolkes,
“Boredom is the feeling that everything is a waste of time;
serenity, that nothing is.”
~~ Thomas Szasz ~~
Attitude….
Hajime…. It seems one truly can never expect the unexpected…. I was standing on my back porch, when my mind settled into a train of thought which led to an epiphany, of a deep, and abiding truth. Without detailing what led to this, (because now, it seems so obvious, the triggering perception is unimportant…. it’s in the past….), it can be said thus: The universe in which we live, which we have determined to exist in duality of nature, begins where it ends, with the very process, and concept, of creation. The simple most critical point of this duality thus demands that creation MUST simultaneously destroy. That’s it; everything else we perceive, as well as any and every thing we can imagine, by its birth, destroys the universe that existed prior to its inception…
The implications of this idea are staggering in scope; thus far, I cannot think of any part of reality that does not obey this injunction, nor any part that suggests anything that can alter it, without altering the very nature of reality. Go figure, eh?…. Exquisitely simple, as is life, when one can learn to accept things as they are, without any need, or desire, to change anything other than one’s self; they are the only changes that can alter our own reality, for they change, at once, our perception, and our ability to attain serenity and clarity of mind in the balance, the ambiguity, in the very imbalanced balance of the universe. Death. The concomitant fears that go along with the certain knowledge of our own ‘end’, lose their power to affect us, for we know, for certain, all is as it is meant to be… for WE are the ones who supply the meaning, with the expression of our spirit in the poem/song/dance that we create by living.
Is this sinking in? Every living creature, here, or anywhere in the universe we can perceive, is continuously engaging in the process of creation, destroying the present by the existence of a potential future; each moment of our lives is a note in a song, a word in rhyme, a step in the dance of living. Each second of living, each creature is making itself new, and destroying its old self in the process…. Every rock, every mountain, every atom, all change, made new each second by every life it surrounds and supports, as the other side of the coin of existence…. Pretty cool, eh?….
Wow… Did that just happen? Hmm… As I still observe the lines above, it appears so. It seems the time I’ve spent recently, immersed in music, has provided me with some rather cogent ideas for cogitation…. I am thinking, at this point, the intro section was probably not the right place to let all that out; what’s more, it obviously isn’t done; there’s a lot more to be said… but, I think it’s going to be a poem. While considering what to include in today’s poetry section, I found a poem I wrote about a year ago, which seems to echo, from the past, some of the stimulation for these ideas; they’ve clearly been percolating a while. The final group of pearls has many of my favorite contributors, all in one fine common thread….
In any case, it’s probably a good time to go to the rest of today’s Pearl. I’ve put some work into it, including finding what I think is the absolutely perfect accompanying music for today… Before reading further, turn it on; it makes it all better…. Now, let’s see what there is to see….
Shall we Pearl?….
“Rock gives reality to the otherwise abstract notion of transhuman time.”
~~ Edward Abbey ~~
***************************************
To anyone over the age of 30 who knows anything about music, this artist needs no introduction. Those of us listening when he began playing his song to the world, and to literally millions upon millions of people around the world, this album’s songs will be not merely familiar, but, loved. It also works very well to go along with reading damn near anything; in fact, I can’t think of a time, or a task, it would not enhance…. If you haven’t ever heard it (unlikely, but, possible in today’s world….), you’re in for a treat…. Enjoy!….

“I have thought many times since that if poets
when they get discouraged
would blow their brains out,
they could write very much better when they got well.”
~~ Mark Twain ~~
Hmm… A bit prosaic, eh, Mark? Perhaps, one who wrote only prose felt a bit jealous? Perhaps…. but, it seems to work for me, so, maybe he’s right….
Absently Gestalt
After the echoes of silence are faded away
Comes the cacophony which accompanies dismay.
Apocalyptic thoughts and emotions run free
Spreading fear enough to fill the holy see.
Speak softly to the beloved ruling class
Deathly darts sunk deep are painful, and crass
Sloth and ignorance are commonly shared
By those who would rule, alone or au paired.
Images and opinions are sullenly forlorn
Yet hope shines bright wherever ’tis borne.
Feeble strengths hide many objective flaws
For reality bites, with hard, vicious jaws.
Can you stand up and state your own name?
Will you hide in a handle, behind a great flame?
No hole and no mind is so deep and so wide
As to furnish safe haven in which to hide.
Bring out the weapons of your reluctant choice
Bring them to bear on the sound of their voice.
Silence the ignorant, and muzzle the fear
Make reason the only message you hear….

Well…. Not too shabby, even considering how long it took me to put it all together. As they say downtown, I’ll take it. And, so will you. I’ll try to return in a timely fashion; ‘timely’, of course, is relative, but, so be it. For now, I am content, & such moments should be savored. To best do so, I’m goin’ back to bed awhile. Afterward, I’ll go see what sort of trouble I can cause…. hopefully, for anyone but me…. Y’all might consider doin’ the same; never can be too much trouble of that sort…. I’ll be back, so, stay alert….
Y’all take care out there,

Sometimes I sits and thinks,

God is Change
thank Change for God
is Change imagine a World
where God is same not hard to
do when God IS A Book and no
longer
a
Hurricane
yeah.. galaxies
curled fetuses the
cats who finds comfort
in this position and the
arms and legs and toes
and fingers driven
by the Center
Balance
of
Abdominal
Muscles and
Vagal Nerve alive
wHo rises as the Tides
Fall Emotions Flow Senses
Feel L.I.B.E.R.T.Y Life is better
everywhere re-creation takes you
us we i am eTc eT aL and all that labeling
and sorting Jazz.. Naked FucKinG Free where
FucKinG iS iF YoU SeeK iN GoD aS Change and
recreate anew destroying the old in a Dance now over
Death as any Kali Dancer will do never discounting now
all of Nature as that applies to our current Human Condition
of Change.. very inspiring gigoid.. and i do wish you could have
seen the Matrix Movie Series as of course they are fictional but the
metaphors are clear as derived from all World Cultures and Mythologies
and Religions same the only Danger really is staying the same for same
is not
only
insanity
same in its
purest form without a life full iN NoW
Moving Connecting and Creating NoW
and all the Naked Human Feelings and
Senses that and who go with all that is yes
aka God in what we potentially perceive as the
verb opposed to past nouns of life in sorts and labels
too.. yes.. not only is same insanity in its purest form
of sitting still without feeling more of our potential
Free Natures it is a perfect storm of Hell with
no winds and a Center eye that and
who serves no holy and
sacred meaning
and purpose
in life
that we
create anew or
delude as same..
but the never the less
yes sadly less there are those
who dance and those who do not
but i for one feel that is mostly a cultural
sin than an innate one as metaphor of course
as Kali Dances on without restraint for what is real
is change my friend never ending and the greatest mercy
of life is death for it means that change is guaranteed no matter
how far we move into insanity of same.. of course experiencing 66
months of almost no emotions and the assessed worse pain from wake to sleep
makes me one of many Kings and Queens of Pain where the same of no emotions
is the worst
pain
of
numb
of all
pain
i for one
can imagine
from actual experience
now as there is no going back
to hell when one does not live there now
nor is there any going back to Heaven when
Lives in Hell of course as assessed by science
too now as emotions are memories and memories
are emotions too.. and without those emotions
iRobot becomes a reality of hell imprisoned
within a shell that is a sHeLL with no
living within forevernow.. worse
than any fiery devil
imaginable
in that
place
of literal same hell of Numb Shell SouL
with spirit of soul a wandering ghost on earth
forevermore now having no real idea they are dead..
sure.. the stuff of Poe and the Ravens of the other place..
it’s what makes most poets really really visiting the other side
and even more so if they make tHeiR way back from the underworld to light of change..
Anyway.. thanks gigoid for when i write like this the winds of my Hurricane eYe Dance
and Sing More with inspiration like this as Neo just does it with no restraint destroying ‘then’..:)

“Rock gives reality to the otherwise

~~ Edward Abbey ~~
The FAct that a Human Being can make a Rock a Pet
IS A real MaGiC
that makes
life
real..:)
And it’s only as foolish
as the empty some folks feel inside.
(Keeping in my mind that i am too lazy
now to Google 100%.. for what the original intent of Mr. Ed
Abbey was is for now i make ‘him’ my pet Rock.. 99%.. Real..;)

“Do not be angry with me if I tell you the truth.”
~~ Socrates ~~
Ha! the Truth.. an
Ink Blot solution at
best.. like when i lost my
sense of smell and nuance of
taste a few months back and now it
came back in spurts of sweet and sick
smell of doomsday death and of course
the doomsday death would be smelling
that same smell and tasting that same
taste of sick and sweet for the
rest of one’s life
without
change
particularly
if one lived
lives forever..
but anyway the
ultimate truth is change
and in a reality that is an ink
blot test that we create as we go
one truth is as good as another lie
depending on what one feels and senses
as life for example some folks only feel pain
as pleasure and their only desire for all that they
understand as pleasure is inflicting harm to other people
inborn
this
way
rarely
too true
now by the
truth of change
that is not always
kind as truth is neither
fair nor consistent as truth
depending on the eyes of changing truth..
and that can be where the eyes of empathy
for 14.5 billion years or so enters the room
understanding that both truth and reality
are relative to eyes who see or not to be..
as
compassion
that comes best
for/iN understanding
change and different
so thanks God for the
Change of Facebook for if we
brave it we are exposed to what
we do not want to believe as someone else’s truth..
i consume all the evil and good with the pleasure of the
reality of change that is God as THE best God who that guarantees
change
as
ultimate
death of same truth
with God there is the
Guarantee of no ultimate hell for the reality of death
unless one creates hell now as tHeir truth of now and
that’s the REAL Danger.. our ability and potential of
making
now
into hell..
lasting forever
now with no change..
might as well be forever
as now is forever always now without change..
For example children forced to sit in desks still for
the course of most of the sunlit day in cave
like structures forced to download same
data in a being
evolved
mostly
to
move..
connect and
create all for the
sake of bringing so
called greater creature
comforts as a staple of
bread and water
in the
prison
they create
as human becomes
the tools of culture they create..
catch 22 as ‘they’ say away from
both sanity and FucKinG ComMoN
HuMaN NaTuRE SenSE and FeeL
oF A Little more than created Hell on

A World where it is
seen as insane to
Dance Naked and Free
And thanks God a Country
where one brave enough can
still do this within the parameters
of local.. state and federal laws allowing
now this freedom of expression aS Simply BeinG FucKinG aLiVe..
that iN a relative sense and feel is Heaven.. hehe.. if the climate NoW..
is warm enough.. considering mostly what we see of space is lifeless rocks
way too hot and cold for Naked DanCinG and SinGinG NoW
that some
folks
can
and will
make pet rocks too.. such potential ..
such human potential for Heaven NoW..
for those
who are
not afraid
to move connect
and create naked of restraints
that who say life is anything else
less than a naked beach.. NoW..
It’s true if one
exposes the
naked truth out of the
parameters of local and
state and federal laws.. it’s illegal to be free
but never the less the truth is legal too.. how ironic and
delicious.. particularly if the truth of one’s smell and taste is good..
It’s really sad that we can’t
say for sure if we have any
of Socrates original writings
or the Jesus or even the Buddha
for that matter and as far as what even
got written down from the Muhammad as his
closest live-in housemate disagreed with the consistency
of what was in the final printed edition at that time.. and
of course Krishna is myth but what remains as truth is
some human sharing DNA
being
wrote
all of what
we did write
back then true
or false yes and
and someone else
at least can relate
to it.. as real.. and
even establish
their own
version
of a Kingdom
of Heaven on Earth
at Least in the US of A
if a personal truth and light works out..
no guarantees and that too is the beauty of change..
for the worst possible outcome could be living forever here..
yeah.. a magic
pill that does
that and the
next day
every
thing
‘smells like shit’
and it never goes away..
as ‘they’.. say be careful what
‘you’ wish for roll with the punches ride the wave..
and die for eternal life now at least in bliss.. NoW aS mileAge varies..:)
