Terence, my friend, does anything scare you?

MCKENNA: Madness. People always ask, "Will I die on drug A, B, or C?" That's the wrong question. Of course you can die, but what is at risk is your sanity, because it seems as though the deconstruction of reality has no bottom, and you can just move out into these places. I worry about not being able to contextualize these things, losing the thread allowing me to return to the human community. We're trying to build bridges here, not just sail off.

'If'

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a man, my son!

Rudyard Kipling

One day the sun admitted

I am just a shadow

I wish I could show you
The infinite incandescence
That has cast my brilliant image

I wish I could show you
When you are lonely or in darkness

The astonishing light
Of your own being

Slammys at area was quite a bit of fun. It was nice to get out. It is always fun to play with friends. Domiana and Carphax Files put on fantastic shows. Yah for music!

There are as many different approaches to music and the performance of said music as there are thinking peoples. I don't believe I could accurately describe even my personal perspective without getting somewhat long winded and peppering it with much backtracking. However the observance of how others approach music and performance is very inspiring and enlightening to my own perspective. That is to say I LOVE the act of creation. When an artist steps into the river of creative change and fuses with everything. It's how I imagine the "big bang" would be if it were to begin inside my little wet red heart.

// six ways to increase intelligence

    * Increase the diversity of input (varieties of sensory perceptions)
    * Increase the diversity of transformations (multiple meanings / interpretations / metaphors)
    * Increase the diversity of output (expression / application)
    * Improve the conditions of the physical support systems (body, environment)
    * Remove or reduce the environmental factors which inhibit intelligence (labels, bureaucracies, etc.)
    * Increase the environmental factors which support intelligence (trust, communities, unpredictability, communication technologies, etc.)

The Moonlit Leonids.

I saw a bit of a meteor shower last night as i was out walking the side of the mountain. Tonight the valley was so clean and clear i could see the lights all the way across. the moon is bright enough for walking those trails and it is worth every step. I really miss living next to Zion national park. We would drive out there on full moons and hike those trails. I highly recommend the emerald pools hike by full moon.

I am excited for the holidays. It is my hope that I get a bonfire this year. There is nothing like a nice bonfire. A Big Fire in the darkness with enough room to dance around it.

memories....

The hubble site on the link above gives a wonderful explanation of the sky.

What Be Your Nerd Type? Your Result: Social Nerd You're interested in things such as politics, psychology, child care, and peace. I wouldn't go so far as to call you a hippie, but some of you may be tree-huggers. You're the type of people who are interested in bettering the world. You're possible the least nerdy of them all; unless you participate in other activies that paled your nerdiness compared to your involvement in social activities. Whatever the case, we could still use more of you around. ^_^

To shake off the
Dust of human ambition
I sit on moss in
Zen robes of stillness,
While through the window,
In the setting sun
Of late autumn,
Falling leaves whirl
And drop to the stone dais.

May the Creator hold him in his last embrace.
