THE LOVERS : A fish and a dragon in a river thought, ‘We’ll live together.’ They hid deep in the depths, waiting for their time . . Staying out of trouble, one morning they’ll escape — And they’ll leap the gate in one, into the Palace of Ecstasy.
4 Ajaw 3 K’ank’in G9 (Dec. 21st) – a “defining” energy associated with the full light of the sun,

--Dr. Sean C. Marshall (founder of Jung Tao School)
watch these avuncularly cherished men making their ways' journey inward towards the center and then expanding outward again...without needing to go out and overcome, conquer, or possess. yet, it's fair to say they accomplished more than not...and one could beg to offer as the reasoning for such results were purely due to them making choices while being "present verses" versus making them out of the many gathered preoccupations, which we seemingly are convinced to be so important until we are beyond without--therefore, I'm going to watch the snow fall on sacred earth mounds that are quite fun fun fun-ji to learn, like amanitas are to flying with a swirl of sage's-smoke and an owl's heart-beat.

i stood up tall today
while the ground sunk
beneath my tarred feet
from blackened asphalt
coarsely covering them...
like a woven burlap
blanket's warmth
then cast onto
my upright stance
backwards
without any atoms
having gone awry...
just as the other
gray morning had been
with falsehoods flourishing
through mar's continual flashing
lucid blueness from others afar
only enough to make out
a materialistic flicker in your eye
gleaming with the sow's angle
towards that of fermenting
rural swine...
as it's becoming
an uncomfortably humorous
loophole to bear
like having to watch
redundant re-run episodes
depicting sex-in-the-shitty
without its rancid glare.

why is the sky blue?
Sunlight interacting with the Earth's atmosphere makes the sky blue. In outer space the astronauts see blackness because outer space has no atmosphere.
Sunlight consists of light waves of varying wavelengths, each of which is seen as a different color. The minute particles of matter and molecules of air in the atmosphere intercept and scatter the white light ofthe sun. A larger portion of the blue color in white light is scattered, more so than any other color because the blue wavelengths are the shortest.
When the size of atmospheric particles are smaller than the wavelengths of the colors, selective scattering occurs-the particles only scatter one color and the atmosphere will appear to be that color. Blue wavelengths especially are affected, bouncing off the air particles to become visible.
This is why the sun looks yellow from Earth (yellow equals white minus blue). In space, the sun appears white because there is nothing in between to scatter its white light.
At sunset, the sky changes color because as the sun drops to the horizon, sunlight has more atmosphere to pass through and loses more of its blue wavelengths. The orange and red, having the longer wavelengths and making up more of sunlight at this distance, are most likely to be scattered by the air particles.
The scattering of visible light by atmospheric gases is most correctly called the Tyndall effect, but it is more commonly known to physicists as Rayleigh scattering after Lord Rayleigh, who studied it in more detail a few years later. Rayleigh Scattering is where red, orange, yellow, and green are passed through and blue, indigo, and violet are "scattered" out creating the color.
Whichever direction you look, some of this scattered blue light reaches you. Since you see the blue light from everywhere overhead, the sky looks blue.

Any Soul That Drank the Nectar
Any soul that drank the nectar of your passion was lifted.
From that water of life he is in a state of elation.
Death came, smelled me, and sensed your fragrance instead.
From then on, death lost all hope of me.

5 : IN THE DARKNESS Dig deep into the earth where the spring water gushes, Through sheer pain and labour, seek to win through — In a place like this, then, you come across a true friend ... And seeing each other again (it’s you!) you both touch Heaven.

after an early morning's late return
clear shower-water falls, warming me
clear shower-water falls, warming me
like a song about the west indian rainy-scape,
i stare at tiles going vertically with a horizontal glare
and ever so slightly raised eyebrows--lifting through broad, tight shoulders...
although, it certainly is only for a little while longer until harmony falls into thee, destined to become pee and leave, only to return again like the urges to eat and sleep.
as the world looks on in wonder at the pity of what any could think of as their kind only...so consider "thinking" to be the lowest form of intelligence on the planet not-so earth much more.

where my long face was too much for their critique
of what's perhaps beyond any conceding mystic's reach--
like that of an alley cat upwelling
a midnight's mist from its furry back
with nothing more to spitout,
among thoughts of what
happens next, under
watching's pure
glance.

What Kuan Shi Yin has to say about the matter:
94 REACHING THE END To honor your goal you need to work at it every day, And now the lure of wine and thighs is hard to overcome — If you see the true gold, then a wise one will speak for you: Wealth, good luck, happiness and a high place are all waiting.

The Marriage of Heaven and Hell - An Excerpt
In seed time learn, in harvest teach, in winter enjoy. Drive your cart and your plow over the bones of the dead. The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom. Prudence is a rich, ugly old maid courted by Incapacity. He who desires but acts not, breeds pestilence. The cut worm forgives the plow. Dip him in the river who loves water. A fool sees not the same tree that a wise man sees. He whose face gives no light, shall never become a star. Eternity is in love with the productions of time. The busy bee has no time for sorrow. The hours of folly are measur'd by the clock; but of wisdom, no clock can measure. All wholesome food is caught without a net or a trap. Bring out number, weight and measure in a year of dearth. No bird soars too high, if he soars with his own wings. A dead body revenges not injuries. The most sublime act is to set another before you. If the fool would persist in his folly he would become wise. Folly is the cloak of knavery. Shame is Pride's cloke. Prisons are built with stones of law, brothels with bricks of religion. The pride of the peacock is the glory of God. The lust of the goat is the bounty of God. The wrath of the lion is the wisdom of God. The nakedness of woman is the work of God. Excess of sorrow laughs. Excess of joy weeps. The roaring of lions, the howling of wolves, the raging of the stormy sea, and the destructive sword, are portions of eternity, too great for the eye of man. The fox condemns the trap, not himself. Joys impregnate. Sorrows bring forth. Let man wear the fell of the lion, woman the fleece of the sheep. The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship. The selfish, smiling fool, and the sullen, frowning fool shall be both thought wise, that they may be a rod. What is now proved was once only imagin'd. The rat, the mouse, the fox, the rabbit watch the roots; the lion, the tyger, the horse, the elephant watch the fruits. The cistern contains: the fountain overflows. One thought fills immensity. Always be ready to speak your mind, and a base man will avoid you. Every thing possible to be believ'd is an image of truth. The eagle never lost so much time as when he submitted to learn of the crow. The fox provides for himself, but God provides for the lion. Think in the morning. Act in the noon. Eat in the evening. Sleep in the night. He who has suffer'd you to impose on him, knows you. As the plow follows words, so God rewards prayers. The tygers of wrath are wiser than the horses of instruction. Expect poison from the standing water. You never know what is enough unless you know what is more than enough. Listen to the fool's reproach! it is a kingly title! The eyes of fire, the nostrils of air, the mouth of water, the beard of earth. The weak in courage is strong in cunning. The apple tree never asks the beech how he shall grow; nor the lion, the horse, how he shall take his prey. The thankful receiver bears a plentiful harvest. If others had not been foolish, we should be so. The soul of sweet delight can never be defil'd. When thou seest an eagle, thou seest a portion of genius; lift up thy head! As the caterpiller chooses the fairest leaves to lay her eggs on, so the priest lays his curse on the fairest joys. To create a little flower is the labour of ages. Damn braces. Bless relaxes. The best wine is the oldest, the best water the newest. Prayers plow not! Praises reap not! Joys laugh not! Sorrows weep not! The head Sublime, the heart Pathos, the genitals Beauty, the hands and feet Proportion. As the air to a bird or the sea to a fish, so is contempt to the contemptible. The crow wish'd every thing was black, the owl that every thing was white. Exuberance is Beauty. If the lion was advised by the fox, he would be cunning. Improvement makes strait roads; but the crooked roads without improvement are roads of genius. Sooner murder an infant in its cradle than nurse unacted desires. Where man is not, nature is barren. Truth can never be told so as to be understood, and not be believ'd. Enough! or too much.

This tyrant of early rising and retiring late?
Riding on mules they long for noble steeds;
By now prime ministers, they hope to be kings.
For food and raiment they suffer stress and strain,
Never fearingYama's call to reckoning.
Seeking wealth and power to give to sons of sons,
There's not one ever willing to turn back."

JK Rowling peers behind the curtains at the nastiness of her peers
Rowling's adult novel has upset middle-class critics with its attack on snide, middle-class hypocrisy.
Behind Spain's turmoil lies a cronyism that stifles the young and ambitious
The country needs more than a bailout. It needs a revolutionary change in its hidebound social structures.
