the real golden rule:
that living things (one mission: sing!)
to churn-out more of you

·        from a cell, to cohesive tissues, to unified systems, to be-ings… life seeks to replicate /express itself (e.g. to re-produce, in its own image).

·        when its own images fails, or when some variant or mutation enhances life’s self-image, it then life will seek to reproduce its newer, more improved self.

·        this isn’t rocket science.  

from moms, to fish-farms, to men with lethal bombs… 

life’s main drive is survival.

·        the jury is out on whether we breathe and eat and drink to reproduce (survival of self in order to propagate the species), or whether reproduction itself (species survival) is the reason why we breathe and drink and eat…  and establish the territory to do more of the above.
 
even the artist (who has no desire for children) seeks to create, to express, to extend-her-self.

b111 (12.13-1.2022): what is in your cage?

what is in your cage? [i]
by ima ina yourcage
 
what is in your cage?
what is in your home?
what is in your state?
what is in your norm?
 
what is in your mind, could you be your own guru/sage?
what is in your room?
what is in your cage?
________________________
 
the idea is that “addiction” or “attachment” is more about bonding than chemical dependency.  it’s about what is in your cage (environment), and involvement versus isolation.

·        since we can’t manifest in someone else’s universe, it is important to focus on our own.

"there never was an apple that wasn't worth the trouble you got into for eating it"

“there never was an apple that wasn’t worth the trouble you got into for eating it” [i]
by g∞d omens
 
when it comes to eating, trouble, apples, expectations
when there’s those with their fruit-full agenda (co-relations)
when you just don’t mesh with your society and rules
when we all get mad (and sad) on this, a ship of fools
________________________
 
·        Be-Cause the fun is in the eating of the forbidden fruit.
·        Be-Cause the IS, in all of H/ER IS-ness, lives through the prosthetic journey of atoms, tissues, organs, systems, animals and you-mans… Be-ing.
 
because life itself is lived through its sense-sations.
 
because trees are just treeing.

pink rhino

pink rhino

by a. rhino
 
pink rhino sets the stage
pink rhino calms the rain
pink rhino changes fear into aware (in times of pain)
 
pink rhino thinks (communication), co-relation, smile
pink rhino turns the darkness into dawn:
 
pink rhino style
______________________
 
·       “pink rhino” is the term that my partner and i use in times of disagreement, argument and miscommunication – when one of us wakes-up first (and seeks non-escalation).

·       once the pink rhino mantra is uttered, we both can shift… away from being “right” (and towards more of a loving response-ability).

·       “pink” represents the feminine: love, kindness, meekness, empathy and connection… while the rhino represents strength, assertiveness, power and (unfortunately) extinction.
 
it doesn’t matter whether it is she or i who awaken first.  just the vision of pink rhino can transform heated emotion into objective co-relation.
 
the idea is to use pink rhino as a cue, a stop-and-shift, and a means of righting a ship that has (moment-arily) lost its way.
 
pink rhino saves the day.

b111 (12.3-1.2022): f[h]is[h]stories

f[h]is[h]stories
by a. storytella
 
stories told (round campfires!) ...by fishermen and sages
stories told by word-of-mouth (by men) throughout the ages
men of power win (and then they write the his-stories)
take a look within:
it’s just fish stories
______________________
 
·       men exaggerated the fish stories, and (in some cases) just made them up!

·       like santa claus in winter… men just made them up!

·       …but… somewhere along the line, men of power found that they could garner even more power by getting the masses to believe.

·       believers are easily led, don’t question authority, and take sundays off.
 
you can tell a whopper of a story... and your culted followers will find a way to make-up their-stories (e.g. excuses) for how the story is, in fact, true.
 
  watch politicians.
    watch the super-rich.
      follow the money-trail.
 
in the end, it’s all just fish stories.

parents lie to kids

parents lie to kids

by a. kidd

 

“santa’s gonna punish you for naughty things you did!”

“god is on our side”

parents lie to kids

________________________

 

·         it is nothing short of child abuse… when parents download their cult-ic software onto their kids’ hard drives: open, receptive, captivated, unassuming hard drives.

 

·         dressing your kid in your college colors is one thing, but…

 
old, white-bearded white-men who patrol the skies and see you – even when you’re sleeping?
…and… if you don’t believe… you’ll spend eternity in a fire-pit of torture with “the devil”?
 

·         most of the problems in this world can be boiled-down to two things: culted parents.

set expectations low

a ticket to the show
by a. t. icket
 

alternative title: keep their expectations low

 
it’s a play, a dance (romance!) a ticket to the show
if you’d like (good night):

keep their expectations low
______________________
 
·       as of this writing, florida state university fans are ecstatic at 9-3, whereas ohio state fans are miserable, at 10-1.  

why is this???

 
·       don’t get me wrong, fsu fans would have run the coach out of town at 9-3, in the 1990s.
 
when expectations are high, they (s/he) can get (“justifiably”) mad at you for not meeting his/her/their exceedingly high expectations.
 
when expectations are low, they are happy to know, that y/our effort flows.
 

the key to life

fork spoon or knife…

is set it up for no

 

don’t show your full house of cards

keep expectations

low

* usa (today) marriages set the floor, the minimum, the basement… at “happily ever after”.  it’s insane!  if we can make a tiny (mental) shift; if we can see the glass as already broken; if we can agree to set the relationship bar low… we will set ourselves-up …for success.

a promise of today
by giva p. romise
 
a promise of today
is something i can give
we all want something (more) but that is just the way we live
 
the in/secure (they wouldn’t have it any, other way)
all that my soul can give:
a promise of today
_________________________
 
·        be-cause, egos that we all are… want a promise of tomorrow.
·        we (then) manipulate others, so that they can make that promise, so we can hold them accountable for that which is simply our own survival/thrival mechanism.
 
anyone who “promises” you any-thing about tomorrow is (a) either a lying piece of sh--, or (b) a hopeless romantic.  
 
although i wish for option “b” …i’m still just me.  those who promise you tomorrows aren't bad people.  they are simply hopeful.
 
all i can give you is Now.

no bitch in the bed

no bitch in the bed
by a. noid
 
no bitch in the bed
no dog or petty fights
no bitch in the bed… to keep me up all night

i’ll just hug my pillow, and sleep soundly instead

no dog or petty bitching
no bitch in the bed
______________________
 
·       it appears as if you have forgotten your “no expectations” mantra... and are allowing yourself to become frustrated by my not meeting them.

·       when you mind-game me, i go through three phases:

   1.     you get my attention (albeit, not in the most desirable fashion)...

      a. if continued...

   2.     i get frustrated (which, admittedly, can result in momentary anger).

      a. if continued relentlessly...

   3.     i simply stop caring.
 
please be direct.  you might not like my take on things, but at least we’ll communicate wants, needs, desires and boundaries.
 
cold-shouldered bitching will not be tolerated (for long).
 

i do have one expectation: 

i expect that those people who i allow into my life... will

 contribute to my well-being.

·       sleep is a must: you can contribute to my sleep-well-being with authentic, enthusiastic sex, followed by massage and/or a hot tub relaxation session.  note: i can do all three of these things without you... so you might figure out how to get me to want to do them with you.

·        fun/positivity is desired: it must (at least) outweigh any debbie-downer-ness.

don’t engage deranged
by a. void
 
don’t engage, when people (cryptic tone and acting strange)
don’t fuel/flame bad energy
don’t engage deranged
______________________
 
·       when someone goes off of their meds (or is otherwise not thinking straight), do not try to communicate rationally.  it may only make things worse.
·       be patient.  s/he is attempting to get you to engage, so that s/he can (eventually) communicate a message.
·       if s/he doesn’t write it down clearly, and if s/he leaves a lot to your imagination, s/he might attempt to lure you into an emotional discussion.
·       stay rational. 
·       be empathetic, but do not get lured-into a discussion in which you will eventually get frustrated and then be labeled “the angry guy.”
·       Once anger happens, you will be the one apologizing for (what is essentially) her insanity.
 
let it go.  she will hopefully/eventually come to her senses and re-read everything that she wrote… or not.
 
while temporary-insanity is understandable in certain instances, repeated/consistent insanity is a bouquet of red flags.
