when nothing happens...

when nothing happens… [1]
by jaol
 
in regard to the “january 6^th hearings” saga, the pussified democrats are jumping for joy (at present).  

have they forgotten that the bully-republicans have (again and again and again and Again and AGAIN to the 100,000th power) completely ignored any evidence regarding any behavior (by themselves) that they would completely crush (if the pussified democrats did it)?
 
once again, everyone on the left tunes-in, and they get all excited about “justice.”
 
on the right???  bully-leaders and culted followers watch the foxy newsmakers.
 

the result of all of this… when nothing happens… is the worst-case scenario:

 

the lesson?

 

they can be proven to be responsible for an insurrection/coup of the u.s.a.

they can be proven to be liars…

they can be proven deniers and cover-up artists…

…and they can get away with it.

 
next time… count on it.
 
i should probably just move out of the country now, while it is still possible.

:)

(what difference does it make?)

life (and Love, sometimes) is but a mystery (a rhyme), a time: 

(decide)-(again) to take a triple-take

i watch the weather change

i watch the weather change [1]
by anna overcast son
 
i watch the weather change
as day turns into night
as spring turns into summer
as storm approaches (sight)
as cold turns into hot
as night turns into day
as it becomes (it’s not)
i watch the weather change
_________________________________

·       watching the weather change gives me the living, tangible experience of life’s fluidity.

·       weather, animals, people (and therefore, relationships) continually morph… in front of my eyes.

·       it’s strange, in a way, how i’d like the good times and good vibes and good relationship moments to stay the same… ignoring the obvious: they won’t.

·       the in-sight (for me anyway), is to put-in-the-work and to continually observe and to continue to be objective, even when love blows me away.

·       in the end, Love IS. 

·       my mission, here (should i choose to accept it), is to tap into Her, to Know He/r, and to hold my-self up to the highest of standards.

________________________________
 
·       in book 111, I’ll attempt to examine love, Love and Love’s perspective (the ego).

·       it (of course) will be an exercise in futility, since love has never been aptly described in a way that is Universally accepted.

·       the fading and loss of love will also be examined.

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.

________________________________ 

·       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.
