the Truth

the Truth...is that a girl/woman in a bikini is one, teeny-tiny bit of cloth/ing away from some serious s---ing and fu---ing.

anyone who might deny that... is simply in denial.

can't re-lease without catch

“can’t release without catch” [1]
by ima old
 
old man with a fly rod
said he met his match
spoke about his lease-on-life:
“can’t release without catch”
 
can’t release without catch (although straightforward as it seems)
depends upon the bait (and the desire to be seen)
maybe it's alluring to be-get and be attached
not so reassuring:

"can't release without catch" 
 
old man with an old fly rod
said he met his match
caught himself (debating)
“can’t re-lease without catch”
________________________________
 
·       maybe… the thrill of the catch and the thrill of the hunt is innate, or maybe it’s up to us… to mass-debate, relate, and (at some point) accept fate.
 
but then, again, maybe not.

one can’t have it all
that’s not the way it works

One can Be It, All

this is not the end.

non-committal

non-committal [1]
by ida rathat beca mitted
 
she says he’s “non-committal”
yet everyone can see
the boy (he can commit): he won’t commit to the crazy
________________________________ 

·       the “you’re” in “you’re non-committal” gives it all away.
·       it is projection.
·       the translation is this: “i am afraid that you won’t (blindly) commit (forever) to my cray-cray.”

if...

if (1) massage chairs could give blowjobs, and if (2) every household could afford one, the ritual of dating would come to a screeching halt.

luckily (for restaurants, flower shops and chocolate factories), that version of the massage robot is not (yet) affordable.

the art of storytelling

 art, poetry, song and storytelling are not reality (a real depiction of what actually is).  

the artist, the poet, the composer and the storyteller provide a perspective, through his/her own multiple filters, of actuality.

then, if ever edited or translated or dupe-licated, the new piece will differ from the original.  the further-away that one is from the original (e.g. distance, time, language, etc.), the more likely a difference.  heck, interpretations can be diametrically opposed in real time, with no lapse between the artist and the dupe-licator.

the kjv* is (in an of itself) art: it is poetry, song and storytelling -- often dupe-licated decades after the "fact."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cover_version#:~:text=In%20popular%20music%2C%20a%20cover,or%20composer%20of%20the%20song.

if someone tries to convince you to believe that john caffetry and the beaver brown band is actually bruce springsteen... simply smile (and slowly back away).

-------------------------------------------
-inpired by walking by the tailrace marina, during a group painting session.  
while each artist was painting the same marina, 
their perspectives reflected completely different versions of marin-iality.


* kjv = king james version 

"make it work"

why do people fall for the myth that (1) humans need to cohabitate, and (2) the cohabitational partners need to "make it work"?

...because others tell them so.

many, many, many fun/successful/artistic/brilliant/happy humanoids have lived lived alone... and loved it!

the expert articles and videos that tell us "how" to make it work presuppose that we're supposed to.

i'm opposed to that supposition.

every-thing (self-serving)

everything that we perceive as "alive" is doing its best, in every, single moment, to make life better for itself.  life flirts and faints and punishes and rewards -- in order to make life better for itself.

the highest form of love, here, is the rare moment when a living thing can (momentarily) care for someone/something soooo much as to (apparently) care for the other... more than the self. 

of course... even that is self-serving. :)

________________________________
 
·       survival comes in two flavors (1) of the species (e.g. “re-production”), and (2) of the self.
·       although #1 probably trumps #2, #2 must occur… in order to achieve #1.
·       it’s not only sex, but also the nurturing of the pre-neo-fight.
·       territory – not only protects and furthers the self (with food, water, defense, mating), but puts the species in the best position to survive.
·       every “thing” (read: “ego” cannot but be self-centered).
 
there is no-thing more intriguing (to me) than the seduction phase of re-production.

healer, heal thyself

i (personally) don't believe that we can "cure" or "100% heal" from our genetic and societal defects.

i do believe it is possible to get to know them a little better... thereby reducing their influence. 

  • john nash (in "a beautiful mind") never fully rid himself of his imaginary friends.
  • ram das (during a tallahassee seminar/talk) smiled broadly as he said something like: 
i've meditated for decades, 
spent quiet months in silence, 
lived in a cave (etc.) 
...and i still have every, single phobia that i began with.

 ·       it’s more than a Dance (to me) because it touches my soul, somehow.  when i see that a tiny-little (scared) creature is fierce & even violent; when those same creatures sing and Dance together; when they battle… it reminds me of poetic-rugby.
