 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,
    symbolic of renewal and enlightenment, in tandem with the “activation” of K’ank’in’s “precious
    sun” energy, in conjunction with G9, the Night Lord who oversees Period Endings; this is the
    “defining” Burner Day that coincides with Long Count 13.0.0.0.0, the end of the 13th B’aktun on
    the day of the Winter Solstice; the day in which a whole new Great Cyle of Time is “seated” (takes
    the throne); a return of the 4 Ajaw energy that was in place when the last Great Cycle of time was
    “seated” in 3114 B.C  --- writing by Dr. Marguerite Paquin http://www.whitepuppress.ca

"Gravity doesn't care, why, or how you believe in it. To know it, you must discover its truth..."
--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.

...

having said
that's emptiness
where nothing more is...

and being terribly unconcerned
with the vast and numerous amount
 of dooms'-day opinions out-n-about...

still, feeling is
suggesting an inspiration
for others to see...

once upon a not-so long ago
 period's age, land animals to be
 might not have even begun to conceive...

developing their surnames'
 formality--like you and me
merrily...

  while hardly having an ability
readily available to help us see land with
upon crawling from seawater to become wind's breath...

osmosis ...

 will it be another ice age 
that's recorded as the catalyst
to our greatest eventual demise...

since, many are conveniently guided
 to be building a global warming's stage
 i suggest considering the root beyond its bearing heirs...

for instance, stealing earth's crustal lubrication
out from under the weight of massive saltwater's volume
is a sign of blatant disregard for humanity's perpetual wellness...

hence, 
resulting from an abundant demand
 to live through greed's selfishness...

yet, it may also one day serve
as helping to fracture
 our blue-green planet's...

 ever-motioning, supportive top-shelf
just so happening to be located above/beneath stores
 of so-called crude wealth (resting by) darkness' seafloor caverns...

likely lending energetically to the creation of
 tsunamis and volcanic eruptions' fire brightly
throughout the world, as belts tighten...

no matter, whether your brain's hologram
 bases it on einsteinian physics
or...

when spirit comes shelling forth
 from neptune's watery existence
reaching for your front door

becoming such that a greater withholding 
 will no longer willingly be ignored,
 perhaps...

never you'll see this in many-a-lifetime
 due to being taught to close your eyes
so tightly during density's night time...

 if finding your expanse fortunate enough
 (or unfortunate) as it were within
 tectonic plate dips, shifts, lifts, spits, and flips...

then for facing ego's fear infused themes
let's predict an awakening into living beyond
 this mimickery's impregnatedly sullen schemes.

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.

Oregon Coastline...

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.

My wife, Alice, is like the 'afternoon tea'....as mentioned here in this famous melody.


did the serpent in the forest teach
 the chimpanzee to sit upright?
while insight may very well say
 this is so...thinking rarely will.
however, it's okay
 because this dream
 is merely that...you'll see;
even if what you see with
 is something you know not
 of its having now...still,
capacity's function suggests,
 how could one
 not have such
 expansiveness?

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
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.

hey, i'm light to water as blood is to cosmic burn...

when did a non-incorporated approach become a sin,
was it when inc.s replaced the church's role to hand down verdict
like an enraged zoo baboon bouncing on its bars?

keep it to yourselves, vidal sassoon suburbanites
happening to be upon spirit airline's flight last nite,

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.

--William Shakespeare

I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine.
A Midsummer Night’s Dream 
Quote. Act ii. Scene.1

"When will the quest end for fortune and fame,
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."

--spoken by Sun WuKong

from the green peach tree
like a thin long white cloud

"A sign or promise of what

 of the world's desire not to see
 the conflict repeated elsewhere".

within thy earnest burnest
a break for the people
of eternal fire...feel it !
