    Great links, thanks. Yes, timeless class back then for sure, but that was before i was born...that felt good to say...can't often say that I was thinking more like the 60's and 70's as compared to taylor swift type he-done-me-wrong songs. And what is all the uh-ohing about? Swift, Pink, even guys. If I hear another song that says uh oh I'm going to scream.

    I'm wondering if I should join the queue in the cafe, or wait a while in the perhaps vain hope that the flow of people will stop.

    why do i need substances to calm myself
    “the sense of being which in calm hours arises, we know not how, in the soul, is not diverse from things, from space, from light, from time, from man, but one with them and proceeds obviously from the same source.... Here is the fountain of action and of thought....

    Gonna get back into meditation. Meditate 20 minutes in the morning and then again at night to start. I'm not going to attach to it the Zen philosophy like I did before. Better to just go at it without expectation, free as a bird.

    Totally agree. Mental constructs are a burden and are unneeded anyway compared to the vastness inside of you. Oh wait, that might be a mental construct. :P

    Just finished putting up a trampoline with a security net and man it's a pain! My back aches and my fingers are just getting limber again. But my son and his friend are jumping happily so I'll live, just wish I didn't have to wait for the friend to leave to take a shower.

    I have a battery of very precise one-and-few-liners to answer what doesn't deserve more than that. I love mortars.

    cafo, everything is deserving of more than a one-liner. take the opportunity to teach, not ridicule lol.

    Oh I feel like ****,
    But at least I feel something.


    Yesterday was a nauseous adventure.

    Haven't had a night like that in a while...
    I'm weary with right-angles, abbreviated daylight,
    Waiting for a winter to be done.
    Why do I still see you in every mirrored window,
    In all that I could never overcome?

    Gentle Dream

    The finest day of spring
    Petals dance on sudden gales
    Counting everyone
    Before the sinking sun
    Fly, fly little wings
    Like love that never fails

    Shadows begin to wake
    To a chorus that is the night
    Crickets fiddle, slow
    Warblers whistle, low
    Shine, shine velvet moon
    Till last you fade from sight

    Hear the sea in song
    Where the swallows play and die
    Starlight in the haze
    Flicker fireflies, ablaze
    Stay, stay gentle dream
    Beneath the candles in the sky
