Ffolkes,
“Truth is sacred;
and if you tell the truth too often
nobody will believe it.”
~~ G. K. Chesterton, ILN, 2/24/06 ~~
The CEO….
Hajime…. I’ve managed to cobble together a fairly decent Pearl, in only one day, so, I’ll post it, & hope for the best. My recent absences have, I think, caused some Gentle Readers to not come by very often…. SIGH. Oh, well; so be it. Since I do have this one ready, I guess I’ll post it right away. In order to do so in a timely fashion, I’ll even condescend to forgo all tricks, traps, sudden turns, or nonsensical forays into my head, opting instead to call this an intro, & be done with it. It’s actually one of my favorite openings, if only because I don’t have to come up with anything in particular, beyond what you already observe. Yep, I’m often lazy, but, then, I am human, aren’t I? Why, yes, yes I am. See y’all in the closing section….
Shall we Pearl?….

No introduction needed today; the music I’ve chosen is of a genre everyone knows, as it is, perhaps, the single most ancient form of sharing music, other than by singing. Humans have played guitars, or an instrument like it, since the days we hung out in caves to stay dry during inclement weather. In my opinion, anyone who does NOT like classical guitar simply hasn’t learned how to be fully human…. Enjoy!….

It’s hot today, with chances of pain & rain.
So it says on the news.
Guess there’s nothing to do again
unless it’s sing the blues.
The blues are gettin’ old, though.
So I say, & I should know.
I been singin’ the bloody songs, y’know?
For what seems a long row to hoe.
S’pose it could get better someday.
I’ve heard that tune before.
Always seemed out of tune anyway;
I ain’t waitin’ any more.
Bang those drums & kick the cans.
May as well raise some hell.
Clang together some old pots & pans;
It hides the little voices so well.
Never worry, don’t you fear at all.

Non carborundum illegitimi, he wrote.
Time, and circumstance, wrote me today.
It came in the daily mail from home.
It said I shouldn’t write unless I say
you’ll be charged for the distance you roam.

There you have it, ffolkes. To make the closing section rather more of a match for the intro, I shall bring it to a rapid close, without the usual caveats, contortions, or blather. Makes for a nice change, don’t you think? Whatever…. I’ll be back tomorrow, if reality doesn’t intrude in its inimitable fashion. Until then, be well, & happy as you may be. I’m heading out into the BBR today, for a bit of guitar practice meself. Don’t step on any myrmidons; it irritates their sense of entitlement…. See ya….
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.

Love the guitar -brought back memories
SMiLes.. my FriEnd gigoid
although the arms of Harvey
are reaching around A LA Panhandle
iN FL Heat and Humidity Sun is Shining
too.. soon to be cool as the Trane
Installers are putting our new
Heat Pump in almost
done.. as
Yellow
Boy visits
my Bedroom
to inhibit any
front door left
open by installers
leading to potential Nature escape..
anyway.. it’s his usual nap time soon
to a bigger room as the installation comes
close to finish.. funny how life moves form
dARk to LiGht often turning my pillow over
and over in River Front home as child
only window fans and that was
it then and only black
and white TV with
three channels
not even
until
7 years old..
but truth is if i had all
those conveniences in
multi-input way i might
have never learned
to say
turn
the pillow
over for any
potential to cool next..
and of course the Deep River
Floods of Summer Hurricanes and
the Black Water River Black Mud left
on floors and walls to scrape up.. yes
i understand the power of water and the
lessons that Nature aims to share of the
Mighty Forces beyond technology
that Humans will likely
never fully
dominate..
in fact they will
not as we just don’t
have eyes and or aided
technology eyes to see behind
what is our current fuller realities but anyway
now temperatures are rising in both Air and Gulf
and its true i live on some of the highest draining
well sandy loam land but still this go around i went
with more of Cadillac Brand as AC iN Trane way..
and after providing a witness of the story of
my life.. hehe.. in Freader’s Condense
Version so inspired was
the sales man i went
to high school with
that he
says
he
gave us a
700 Dollar
Discount on the Trane..
anyway.. matters not.. need a little
more engine power for the Summer Heat yet to rise..
no water thanks Goodness but Heat a growing potential
contender
for folks
reaching
later older ages..
So that makes a Stove and a Drain
Field for a Septic tank.. a Water Leak
from a Hot Water Heater the
Siding around the
Eaves of our home..
And Now a Heat Pump
in less than a year of needing
replacement and repairs together..
never the less and always more my body
is working better than ever so bring it on ‘Murphy’..
and sure later my sense of smell and taste but as long
as i am Happy.. BrinG the challenges on more now with varying mileage
with
no
repairs
but everyday
maintenance of dance and song..:)

And that reminds me as i met up in S Walmart with
An Old Girlfriend before in my mid-twenties
who had two children then and 13
Grandchildren now with
another child to
add to the
two before..
she lived in the
Projects so poor on
Food Stamps too.. and
i spent time with her there
as it’s true i’ve seen and felt
much of what the ‘other side’
feels and senses too.. there
is a song from that day
and time where
dance was
much
stiffer than
it is today the way
it is a piano song that
i will use for this Dance
and SonG too.. yes the
‘red neck’ days i was part of too..
Alabama Girl living in a fancy apartment
with someone else pregnant by someone
else kept secret from me driving a fancy
car from someone else other than
the other two then.. it doesn’t
really matter as she
loved her children
and now
her
line goes on
and mine ends in words..
and that’s the way it is my friend
and the only thing that makes it bearable
is love as i told her i was sorry for not being me now
then.. so much the journey so much more potential for Love when real.
