Clear light on a slick palm
as I mis-deal the day
Slip the night from a shaved pack
make a marked card play
Call twilight hours down
from a heaven home
high above the highest bidder
for the good Lord's throne
In the wee hours I'll meet you
down by Dun Ringill ---
oh, and we'll watch the old gods play
by Dun Ringill
We'll wait in stone circles
`til the force comes through ---
lines joint in faint discord
and the stormwatch brews
a concert of kings
as the white sea snaps
at the heels of a soft prayer
whispered
In the wee hours I'll meet you
down by Dun Ringill ---
oh, and I'll take you quickly
by Dun Ringill
If awareness is practiced, made into a habit, then it becomes tedious and painful. Awareness cannot be disciplined. That which is practiced is no longer awareness, for in practice is implied the creation of habit, the exertion of effort and will. Effort is distortion. There is not only the awareness of the outer - of the flight of birds, of shadows, of the restless sea, the trees and the wind, the beggar and the luxurious cars that pass by-but also there is the awareness of the psychological process, the inward tension and conflict. You do not condemn a bird in flight; you observe it, you see the beauty of it. But, when you consider your own inward strife, you condemn it or justify it. You are incapable of observing this inward conflict without choice or justification. To be aware of your thought and feeling without identification and denial is not tedious and painful, but in search of a result, an end to be gained, conflict is increased and the tedium of strife begins.
J Krishnamurti
A good imagination is like any other tool, only as good as it's used. Like guns.
running wild with fear they snowball
so the 'observer' tames the wild monkey as his friend in fearless play
self control? moi?
First priority is to remain calm, but not a 'forcred calm' so that means the disolution of fear(s) yes? no? maybe?

The idea of anything 'forced' is diamectrically opposed to the idea of natural .... NatureReal
So what gets in the way? interferes. interfears. forces? inner and outer society / ego? Whats that mean anyway? The intellect dictating reality (nature) instead of the other way around. Slow down, fear not.
Kindness is the path to happiness sans fears.
fear is unkind and unhappy.
Just obsetvations/statistically provable, even to my haughty/cynical thought pattern.
The lunatic is on the grass
The lunatic is on the grass
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs
Got to keep the loonies on the path
The lunatic is in the hall
The lunatics are in my hall
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the paper boy brings more
And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forbodings too
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon
The lunatic is in my head
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade, you make the change
You re-arrange me 'till I'm sane
You lock the door
And throw away the key
There's someone in my head but it's not me.
And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear
And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon
"I can't think of anything to say except...
I think it's marvellous! HaHaHa!"
Pink Floyd - Brain Damage Lyrics

Day
Has begun
And I stumble
To the front
There's no
Real control
Of a random
Event
And I will take my chances
'Cos anything can happen
I don't believe it's over
'Cos anything can happen
I could never
Give it up
I could never relent
And I can't
Wait to see
What will happen
To me next
I will take my chances
'Cos anything can happen
I don't believe it's over
'Cos anything can happen
It doesn't matter
What we did wrong
Makes no difference
To me
I see the light in your eyes
And you're dancing free
And I'm coming down today
To gather in the pieces
Give in to the mystery
And I will take my chances
'Cos anything can happen
Don't believe it's over
'Cos anything can happen
One day, I
Someday, I
Anything can happen
Yeah, anything can happen
I will make it shine
I will make it rain sometime
I heard a woman in a wheelchair say, we're all delt cards (she was in a car with a drunk driver and crashed) She said we can play those cards or fold. She didn't want to fold and did great things.
To a certain ectent, one of our cards is the ability to discard some and draw new cards. It's a risk and you may get a better hand, or worse. Life's a gamble. When to play it safe, when to risk. Some cards seem like we may have to work with for this life's duration, like the wheelchair, others we can discard.

"Everybody has got to die, but I have always believed an exception would be made in my case. Now what ?"
Saroyan, William (1908-1981)
People say, "Don't you think you ought to be able to do it by yourself?" And I love this question because the answer is: You can't do it by yourself. That's the entire message of the last 10,000 years of human history. The self is insufficient. The ego will not suffice...you must humble yourself to the point where you admit that you can't do it unless you have help from someone whose idea of home is a cow flop.—Terence McKenna
