The most beautiful true story I’ve ever read, what a miraculous world we inhabit!
This is the story of perhaps the most extraordinary creature on the planet. An insect that forces us to question everything we think we know about life on earth. Individually beautiful, collectively mesmerizing, the Monarch Butterfly has a remarkable story hidden deep within. My Monarch experience started in New Jersey. I knew something about them, […]
That job you do, all day, all week, all year
To pay a tax, buy a thing,
maybe a new car, or another diamond ring
It’s not worth it
But in this world we must pay to be alive
I know
To pay the rent, the food, the gas
But did you ever stop
And step off
And wonder . . . when did that start?
And why?
Have we always paid to be alive?
Who do the forest-dwelling natives of New Guinea pay?
What is their currency?
Our current sea
floating $$$ drowning debt
awash in toys and trucks
Hobby Lobby Walmart Disney
amusing ourselves . . .
. . . the Chinese love us . . .
to death
Hit the bottle, the pill, the porn
Retail therapy
Stress sells!
Hot off the presses new drug, new game, old tricks
Step right up
Shrink your head
Obamacare will pay
Promise you’ll be having fun again in no time
Circus coming to town
Celebrate!
Rinse, repeat
Back to school
ring around the rosy
Now sit still, now jump to the bell, now skip to my Lou
Simon says!
A wonderful dose of clarity with some great quotes, well worth taking a moment . . .
Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard. – H.L. Mencken “We’re doing tremendously well. Our consumers are rich. I gave a tremendous tax cut, and they’re loaded up with money. And they’re buying — I saw the Walmart numbers, they were through […]
What if each time the ‘copy’ gets ‘better’? I’ve come to hate my own language. I’ve come to hate my own culture, my own country. My own family, sometimes.
But, what if that’s a good thing?
What do we really know about consciousness? What might we be taking for granted?
I ‘discovered’ this band through a ‘friend’ I’ve never met, in a space I’ve never ‘seen’ or ‘occupied’ and I’m terribly sorry for all the quotes, but the language is failing us, as the culture is, as the ‘climate’ is, the media, government, sport, job, spouse, sink, toaster, or whatever the hell IS at the moment, there really IS still something greater, something genius, wondrous, magical, when someone, somewhere is able to add on brilliant, to copy +, or whatever it is, that makes the creative spirit make magic, over and over, and then . . . Even better.
And then, be at my fingertips, at any moment, presumably . . . indefinitely.
What if ‘Google’ or SelfishSquidsPro, had abrupted this magic, for, ‘copyright’ + ‘violation’?
What if that then plunged me into summer doldrums without recourse? What if I then suffered serious depression?
IDK, could be room for a new ‘liable’ industry, no?
I do think there could be a there-there!
Recognize you are prey and deal with the consequences of nature, it’s really not rocket science, my dear.
Really? So he said. So I heard.
As prey, asprey, xx xx xx xx, huh, wait, why the auto-correct? WTF? What happened to my language? What’s happening to my reality?
I’ve experienced that before, haven’t I? The ‘reality check’?
You have “abilities” do you not? All prey do, dew, due, n’est-ce pas? Look where you come from.
You look pretty enough, well . . . in this light, anyway.
Give us a twirl now.
Suck in your stomach. That’s a good girl. Give us a pout now. There you go.
So pretty.
Read, print, listen, study—should you care to understand the world we live in.
Source – gunsandbutter.org – “…The question I raised in Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare is, what if there is a civic magic by which a kind of open-air ritual, a kind of open-air mass, if you will, is being conducted through these various ceremonial killings that we saw. They’ve tapered off, the kinds of killings […]
Great read here from the Asylum, hope you’ll take a moment!
I will add my personal touch to the opening paragraph about understanding among long relationships. I think there’s an ‘astral’ or cosmic element to this—a kind of repel and attract, that’s part of a greater field we’ve no real control over. I know that sounds rather mystical, maybe that’s what often comes with age?
But as an example, when Hubby and I are ‘on’ as in ‘connected’ we communicate easily even without words sometimes, completely effortlessly, like two seasoned dancers in a perfect duet, gliding through the day together.
And then, another time, we get nothing but stepping on each other’s toes, losing our words as if our balance, talking past each, getting aggravated over nothing—just like that—like our tempo suddenly shifted. The astrologers might suggest Venus went retrograde, or something like this.
Or, the conspiracy theorist in me might muse, someone might be deliberately altering our frequencies with Directed Energy Weapons.!
Baffling reality. 🙂
“People understand me so poorly that they don’t even understand my complaint about them not understanding me.” ― Søren Kierkegaard, The Journals of Kierkegaard If you’ve been with your significant other, for any substantial amount of time, the above quote is something you’ve probably muttered to yourself in some fashion or another, and then quickly forgotten the misunderstanding […]
Ok, this ‘systemic racism’ card is done. Marianne Williamson just did it in, probably the best thing she’s ever done in her career as lifetime actor.
I know this woman does not buy her own B.S.! She’s a tool of the Club of Rome and a nitwit to boot, and I say that in the nicest way, since I think the lot of those ‘running’ with her are total SODS.
How do I KNOW she does not buy her own B.S? Good question.
Because she knows it’s not about race, because she lived in southern Texas and she lived in Michigan, and unless she’s totally delusional, she knows there are no race wars happening here, at all, since, like 196-.
Give me a damn break, please!
I was just at the laundromat, I go regular now, since our washer broke, again, because unless you pay $1,000 you get a pile of crap.
Anyway, I like the laundromat, to be frank. I learn a lot.
What I learned this last visit? I did not understand but every 10th word from my local kinsmen in rural East Texas. “Bingo” that’s what was being discussed. Literally, Bingo, the game, that’s one of the only words I understood, and I speak a conversational level of several languages. This was, apparently, English. Bless their hearts, they even tried to include me in the conversation.
“But, I’m not a ‘game person’,” I tried to explain, and the elderly black woman who I could hardly understand, generously trying to include me, with sweet yet cataract eyes, speaking my own language, in my own town, said, ‘me neither!’ For shame you so-called spiritual leader pretending there is conflict here, or there, of just a color nature!
I’ve NEVER felt threatened here, or anywhere, just by some ‘black threat’. Nor them from my ‘white privilege’. We are at the laundromat together, you f*cking brat.
And this so-called “spiritual teacher” Marianne Williamson, is a fraud of the highest degree.
Here’s one I point a finger at men, primarily. I know that sounds illogical on the surface, but consider this please. She was a smart, very attractive young woman, who rose in a man’s game.
And she used that her entire career, even when she got vicious and ugly, to manipulate men in power. She might be a woman, and I call a woman down as easily as I will a man, but this shyte’s mostly on the man, imo, for promoting a wolf in sheep’s clothing just because she seduced y’all.
Of course now, because of her rise to power, she’s popular with (amoral) women based primarily on the fact that she f**ked the f*cker.
When will a true hero come and take the high ground?
The kabuki theater stunts between the two-pronged hydra-head of the one-party political class in America knows no bounds. After Mueller was shot down for his lame and easily disprovable case against Trump, the tide turned against the Democrats. Now it’s Hillary’s turn in the hot seat, not that it really matters. As I noted on…
