Ffolkes,
A calm despair, without angry convulsions,
without reproaches to Heaven,
is the essence of wisdom.”
~~ Alfred Victor Vigny ~~
Early morning in Alaska….
Hajime…. Though I am, as the title suggests, well aware of what day it happens to be today, I won’t trouble y’all with yet another attempt to be foolish. I figure enough of that goes on here as a matter of course, so, we’ll let the world have its fun, and I’ll take the day off…
No foolin’. You see, I’m not in a good space at all, and, I need to take another day to look for some balance. What you see below the above picture of Alaska will be rather truncated, in comparison to a regular Pearl, as I didn’t get it done yesterday, and I have no wherewithal with which to do so today. C’est la fucking vie, as they say these days in the Eurozone, from what I can gather. I don’t have enough in me to care much what anyone says, and, that, for sure and for certain, is no foolin’.
Since I’m in such a foul mood, I’m done here, and, possibly, below as well. I don’t care. I will, however, care tomorrow, I am sure, so, I’ll make a better effort when that gets here. One may hope, anyway. For now, let’s get this done, so y’all can go have some fun, which seems to be a state we’ll be looking for desperately, if not frantically. Oh, well….
Shall we Pearl?….
I’m frightened of old ones.”

The Answer
**************
Always we hope
Someone else has the answer
Some other place will be better
Some other time it will all work out.
This is it.
No one else has the answer
No other place will be better
And it has already turned out.
At the center of your being
You have the answer;
You know who you are and what you want.
There is no need to turn outside
For better seeing.
Rather abide at the center of your being
For the more you leave it
The less you learn.
Search your own heart and see
the way to do is to be.
~~ Lao Tzu ~~

Well, there you go. I guess, what y’all ended up with is a really, really old-school pearl, much like the ones that first got sent out to the folks at NSH back about 11 years ago…. Such as it is, it is, and so am I. So be it. See y’all tomorrow, even if I must abrogate my own standards, such as they are…..
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.
