Mountain Man

                                                            It is written that the Sage IF LUCKY, brings about Changes that Benefit Society  and if UN-LUCKY retires from the world to establish, maintain, and further Develop those Qualities that will be required, {If Humankind is to Advance} in the Future .   I'm fan of "Luck" .   "Luck" is featured in the Musical "Guys and Dolls" but the song, "Luck Be a Lady Tonight" was most notably performed by Frank Sinatra in the early and middle 50's .   The Implication is that Luck is NOT always a "Lady" with manners and ALL the "Social Graces" but is instead a DEMON GODDESS, somewhat resembling the Hindu Goddess "Kali---the Destructress" .   In this, Luck, can be both Savage and Brutal .   

                            There's this from the I Ching :   "When the wind blows low on the Mountain, it is thrown back and spoils the vegetation .   This contains a challenge to improvement .   It is the same with debasing attitudes and fashions;  they corrupt Human Society .  To do away with this corruption the Superior Man must regenerate Society... .  The Superior Man must first remove stagnation by stirring up public opinion, as the wind stirs everything, and must then strengthen and tranquilize the character of the people, as the Mountain gives tranquility and nourishment to all that grows in its vicinity."

                           I LOVE this .

                            This is me... .

Ten Years After

                                                            I sat in Chairy-Chair and let my Mind wander.......this "arrived" :  

                                     " I want to change the world, but I don't know what to do."

                 I had to think about the Source or Origin of that lyric, none was forthcoming, so I had to "Search" .    The title of the song is exactly, "I Want To Change The World" --- it was composed by Alvin Lee and performed by his Band "Ten Years After" circa 1971 {I was a Freshman at U. Conn.} .   Previously, I had no familiarity with Ten Years After until Woodstock, the Movie, was released, and Ten Years After became Famous .   The Song "haunted" me then, does so now .

                You Qids know I am an old man, some days Recall is instantaneous and VIVID, other days "IT's" a fucking Blur, wrapped in Fog and smothered in Clouds ---- .   I "Searched" for the lyrics and ... .

                                       "I want to save the World , but I don't know what to do " =   A statement of which ALL of US can relate,, but guys like me feel >IT< egregiously .   The 3rd stanza is Special :

                                        "World pollution, there's  no solution, institution, electrocution

                                           Just black and white, rich and poor, them and us

                                           WE'LL STOP THIS WAR !!!

                                           I want to change the world, but I don't know what to do

                                          SO I LEAVE IT UP TO YOU...

                                         It's called luck .

                    You can see it rite ?

                               You an see it r

PURR-FECT

                                                             Yesterday I planned to write about "The Teaching", specifically, BUDDHIST Teaching, and I was going to use Zen Master Wu Bong's words to me right before I began living in the Temple .   He had said, "Don't look for the Teaching, it is all around you."   I could see that, since, after all, I was in a Temple, so how could the Teaching NOT be "all around {me} ?   Thing is, in Buddhism,, EVERYTHING IS YOUR TEACHER, not only that, but even the simplest physical task, is also the TRAINING .   There's one thing and ONLY ONE THING that is demanded of the Willing Student and that is HUMILITY,  where Humility manifests as >Receptivity< , the Willingness to attain and "Open Mind" AND KEEP IT OPEN .   Being Humble keeps the Mind supple and pliant .

                             I wasn't satisfied that "The Teaching" was-gonna "do it" for me this morning .   I considered writing about my Kittens, Saffron and 2-Doze and what They have taught me, .   Most recently I made the Determination that "PURRING" is the Absolute Manifestation of both Contentment and Satisfaction, --- that Purring MEANS "Everything is "OK" and for us Space Age Chimps, "A--OK" .   I had to figure that PERFECT Conditions generate PURR-FECT Conditions .   My Cats PURRRRRR when they are {I'm guessing}  Happy and Content within their Knowledge that they will be fed, and Cared-for and also LOVED INTO INFINITY AND BEYOND  .   I Love them That Way .

                            And, as far as "Purring" "goes" there was an opening to add that Purring is where you want to be with your Chick, you want her to PURR because of your Love and what it does to her .    Many of Us have experienced the Bliss of Post-Coital Magnificence, and at THAT Point, there is nothing BUT >Purring< , I'm certain you Qids* agree .  

                           Still, I wasn't convinced ... .

"R&R"

                                                             I like to reserve Sundays for symptomatic "R&R", not Rock and Roll exactly, but Rest and Recovery, and for sure, some Sunday's are enhanced by Good and SUPER-Good Tunes, {we KNOW Music Heals}, but  simply listening to Music may not be enough for one's SOUL .   Elsewhere I have described "Guilt Free" Days, Days where you have TONS of work to do outdoors, BUT IT'S RAINING so, {I mean} you CAN'T .    Now you'd figure that "There's ALWAYS work to do on the Interior, cleaning, moping, dusting, blah-blah-fucking BLAH, but, WHEN YOU NEED REST YOU-GOTTA REST .   I took a Cue from a Tri-Athlete who trained HARD everyday EXCEPT Sunday, and he said, "I don't do anything on Sunday and I DO mean NOTHING " .   He added, "That even means NOT writing checks, or ANYTHING that requires movement" .  I mean, he was Training 6 hours a day six days a week......  I mean,,,,,,,,,,  there's THAT .!

                           

Lie Sense to Kill

                                                           Silence is Affirmation :  there's no other conclusion that can be reached with certainty .    Folks may not like what's going on, but that dis-like HASN'T registered ENOUGH to warrant PERSONAL Action --- and as far as THAT "goes" , States are unlikely to suspend Tax payments to the Trump Administration which would all but STRANGLE trump's  "Hold" on HIS War .   I mean, THEY COULD ...... but........ .

                         Trump IS america =  fat, lazy, stupid and VIOLENTLY belligerent .   Trump IS a MAD-MAN ,  incapable of even COMMON SENSE Reasoning, and HE IS TOO SICK to comprehend a Reality in which HE is  not the Source .    

                         When trump grumbled that he could "Shoot someone on Main Street and not get punished, HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ARRESTED ON THE SPOT ,  Instead there was only silence, and this Silence manifested as "License to Kill" .  American democracy GAVE him that License .  {Lie Sense} .

                          It is written 

                                              "People get the government they deserve."  

Hamlet's Mil

                                                           Good, Honest and Decent Folks have pointed to "The States" and their Power  to 'control' Elections but I am Skeptical AND Suspicious .   Republicans 'control' 28---TWENTY-EIGHT State legislatures and only 26 States have democRAT governors .    Trump has ALREADY stationed his SS on american Streets, at american airports, and has SUCCESSFULLY commandeered ballots from DEMOCRATIC "Sites" and there is NO REASON to Believe he will NOT simply HALT the Election Results should he find himself "in the lead" .   

                              Anyone figure the Governors are-gonna send their State's National Guard to the "Rescue", to stand against Trump's SS should trump declare VICTORY and attempt to SEIZE uncounted ballots and those from our Mil who are stationed overseas  ???   2 words :   UNLIKELY !!!

                             Don't forgive my baseless projection that I AM FUCKING BRILLIANT ---years ago I stated that the ONLY REASON for republicans to gain the presidency IS FOR CONTROL OF THE MIL.   Control of the Mil GUARANTEES Control of the Nation .   Therefore it is NECESSARY for the Mil to REFUSE TRUMP'S ORDERS thereby FORCING him to relinquish the presidency .   Anyone figure THAT'S gonna happen ?????   Me neither .
