Link: hermit's thatch.
The highest good is like water.
Water gives life to the ten thousand things and does not strive.
It flows in places that people dislike, and so is like the Tao.
In dwelling, be close to the land.
In thought, go deep in the heart.
In dealing with others, be gentle and kind.
In speech, be true.
In governing, be just.
In affairs, be competent.
In action, be timely.
Only because it does not compete is it without fault.-- Lao-tzu, 8
The sage who wanders alone is like the wind that is not caught in a net, like the lotus not soiled by mud, leading others but not led by them.
-- Sutta-Nipata
wind blown bamboo
shadows of sea shells clanging together
like a faery windchime
love is the every only god
who spoke this earth so glad and big
even a thing all small and sad
man,may his mighty briefness digfor love beginning means return
seas who could sing so deep and strongone queerying wave will whitely yearn
from each last shore and home come youngso truly perfectly the skies
by merciful love whispered were,
completes its brightness with your eyesany illimitable star

It's official. I cannot maintain a blog as frequetly as I would like and work a full job at the same time. Fifteen days ago I posted Electric Salmon. This morning I was kidnapped and turned into a superhero, a pirate ship captain, a "best friend", and not to leave off, Dad. None of which I am with the faithful exception of best friend, of which I try to do well. Anyway, point is lots of things from Sunday mornings' coffee and chicken schmeg (shhmaygue) to keep me from posting all the little things I would like. But that will change too, if only I weren't so lazy - but I won't go there now, because then I would need to reference Mom and all of that.
Prairie Home Companion is on behind me though I'm not listening to it, okay maybe the music {picking bluebells in the mountains with the birds of paradise} and something to do with love, too. But mostly the point of this one posting is an apology to myself for not weilding my flyrod more frequently. I cut the hook part off. I just like to stand in the river waving this bug around to see what happens. It's cerainly in the so-called grey area of something you might call "fishing" and something I need to re-explore shortly. Is a man walking through the forest with a rifle and no ammunition hunting? What if I have my camera with me, is it different then? So I'm off topic today but is okay because there is no topic today and I'm a superhero pirate. Our ship "The Hammock" was in stormy waters full of roaming dachshund sharks. Later we escaped up the tree we were crashed into when we hit the island. 24 seems to be an important number, and 21 is cool too.
When I get back again, I am hoping to introduce "Esoteric Tuesday"; self- explanitory. The first one is in progress and stems from an Oracle reading from Root Walker regarding the question of Universal Energy. Whether I can finish it before Tuesday is another question entirely, though likely not unrelated. Work at the chicken farm is a whole set of other things I may dip into at some point if I can escape it's domination, maybe it's just an Aquarian thing. I don't know. just this, ~sal
AQUARIUS: You must give yourself the quality time that you so often give to others (humanity, your family, work, etc.). The family situation is shifting. Thoughts of moving could linger in your mind. But where would you go? You want safety, security, and close friends, yes, but you also want a completely new reality to vitalize and excite your life. Careful in the work world. Wounds happen easily.
Though it's a rocky sort of week, you need friends around to share conversation, ideas, food, comfort, culture, and play. You also need a new structure to work within lest you feel too otherworldly and disconnected. It's time to find your place in the New World Order. Begin with what you love and concentrate on manifesting it. Caution with knees.
