What!! he shouted from the back seats. A lone onlooker commented; "only one watt, he must be pretty dim!"
Surveying the scene and deciding that there was nothing he could do, except what he had become accustomed to, and that was retreat, the dim man retreated. Taking his somewhat dissapointed 'shadow' with him. The 'shadow' wanted to stay and play, no matter the consequences. No matter, that there were weightier issues that needed attention. Neroishly fiddling whilst fires raged all round. Shadow was interested in fires, they were afterall purifying. So what that other's get burnt; play with fire that's what happens.... More >

The civilization of the Desert
separates each of the four civilizations of the Forest,
One from Another.
The civilization of the Desert is Itself
separated by the Ocean.
The civilization on the Pacific
and of those who everywhere
live by the Ships of the Sea
is a steppingstone.
The civilization of the Ocean is One.
The civilization of the Desert is Twin.
The civilizations of the Forest are
the four leaves of the clover.
*
We who Live
within the Temple of Her-by-the-Lake
may turn our personal light and in-sight
into the Order of Listen and Speak.
*
Listen to the Voice of the Watery planet.
This is the first step.
Dawn is the Bridge between Life and Death.
She may be seen Twice a Day.
The Wo-Man in Blue in the Void of space
is the Sound in the stars of Our children playing.

The eyes of the Earth embedded in the dirt
are staring up into the sky,
and to all who stand
and reflect into life within humus.
Such as it is before descent into the underworld.
Cross the black river of Night.
Paint a picture on the wall.
The writing on paper,
and painting on walls,
provide a window.
*
Civilizations pass away
as well as memories of written tongues.
Inscriptions may be interpreted.
That which passes through Speech is sure.
One way to see the other side of the mountain
is to take a boat across the ocean
which envelopes the globe.
*
The life of our body is tied to Rock
through the marriage of fire and water.
Gather around the Circle of Rock
which points to Surya and Luna.
The path of planets will always be Here
to follow and measure and weave tales through.

Hello, you are there, other worlds.
You are there past the little lighted room at the top of the stairs.
You are there at the other end of the silver string, beyond the wardrobe, through the hole in the sky.
And I want to carve you strongly. More >

Tongue is the Knife,
for Speech across centuries.
The time of the solar year is 365 days.
The time of the ceremonial cycle is 260 days.
In the time of 52 cycles of the solar year,
The ceremonial cycle turns 73 times.
Thirteen days without name are counted,
The sum of 52 quarter days of leap year time,
Before beginning a new count
Of the 52 solar year - 73 ceremonial year cycle.

The Face through the Center speaks
of the measurement of coordination
in the cycles of our planets.
Who reads this Rock
emerges
from time past
and time future
to find Sound
within the planets
of our solar system.
The difference between yesterday
and tomorrow,
is the alligator eating the fish,
as the end of one cycle of time
meets the beginning of a new cycle.

Breathe deeply. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . the New air.
The atmosphere on planet Blue
Has recently undergone various changes.
It is expected that the change in atmosphere
Will affect the Life forms of our planet
in various ways.
No one knows what will happen.
We who Live
Now entertain one thought.
Listen with one another,
and send Truth through the Dome of Skull,
through Blue.
Each may see a new light emerging through Blue,
The beginning of Violet.
Raindrops fall from the sky from the past
Into Earth now
to dissolve into Her
And grow out of Her,
Her next phase.

That’s right, I had a thought today. Go figure, a birthday and a thought on the same day. Usual disclaimer… this is not directed at anyone in particular. It is directed at everyone and at no one, and to the republic for which it stands; any resemblance between this rant and reality is purely coincidental. So don’t feel attacked; it is to my interactions with all of you that I owe such bottomless insights ;). If you can’t stand a bit of forceful language, then you may want to cover your eyes. Now, without further ado, the long awaited thought:
Don’t tell me that if I meditate twice a day and go hang out with my buddies for a few hours it will make my life here tolerable. In fact, I beg you not to make any suggestions as to how I might make this tolerable. I don’t want this illusion to be tolerable. I want to make it so painful that it burns my feet. I want it to burn through all the poisoned conditioning that my parents and schools and TV have put into my head. I want it to be so unbelievably intolerable that I have no choice but to jump out of it. Don’t you dare try to justify all this pointlessness and suffering to me, either. I refuse to resign to it like that. Don’t tell me that’s the way the world is. It is NOT justified. It is not even remotely acceptable, and I won’t tolerate my existence sucking this much. It’ll only be a matter of time.
And another thing… I’ve been told to stay in school as long as possible. Supposedly, it all goes downhill from here. Ok, here’s the thing. If you can honestly convince me that *this* is the top of the hill, and that the only direction to go from here is down, I’m leaving this whole damn plane of existence right now. I’ll tell you how I see it; most people do go down from here, but this is most certainly not the top of the hill. This is like standing on the ocean floor; that’s how low it is. From where I’m standing, I see the Mariana trench of the 40-50 hour work week gaping down, so I can see how it is generally downhill from here. It’s always possible to go lower, it seems. Most people just fall into the trench, even deeper in the sea of illusionary shit. However, there is soooo much above this… there has to be more to the world than this. Not just in terms of me sitting in a corner and contemplating my naval, convincing myself that somehow all this nothing is something and any something that bothers me is actually nothing and that the benevolent energy goddess of Candyland loves me anyway, so why worry when I can be happy about blissful nothingness. Give me a break!!!! There has got to be a real world, tangible and alive, up there somewhere. If there isn’t then Mr(s). Existence and I really need to have a nice, long talk.
What do you think. Too far? I'm pushing the limits of non-self-censoring, so it could very well be. I seriously considered not putting this up. In any case, I’ve got plenty more where this came from.

Good article at salon.com about Jay Walker, who's the founder of Priceline.com and the owner of quite a few ridiculous patents on business processes and on various obvious ways of doing things on the Internet. More >
