Hi Sweetie!

[FallingLeaves]

he tried
apologizing
to someone else

was really expecting
to get his head banged in
for the presumptuousness of that

but it was ok.

[FallingLeaves]

well,
now with
the upper back
lol

his meditations though
are more sustainably interesting
than they have been in the past

so
he feels like
he's still making progress
although
he supposes
that isn't a guarantee
he isn't
just making up
busy work
just so he can see a difference
and say
'i'm making progress'

he guesses
there aren't guarantees
to be found
anywhere

you just play some cards
and see what comes next...

[FallingLeaves]

he saw it in some comic
today

free-dom
free-dumb

so it is likely that
at least part
of the population
subconsciously associates
freeness
with
stupidity

such things never end

his favorite of course
being

knowing
no-ing

so when you assert
what you think is a truth

'I know this'
'I no this'

subconsciously
at least some people
think you are saying just the opposite

understanding
standing under

is only a little better
than knowing...

as everyone wants to be
at the top of the hill
but if you understand
or rather stand under
you can kiss that goodbye
which doesn't seem too desirable
to our animal minds

subconsciously speaking
the english language
seems to have a bias
towards remaining stupid

just as well
smart people are just causing trouble

in the case of book smarts
I think
more would NOT be better

sigh

[FallingLeaves]

it is kind of a relief
not to feel obliged
to be in love with someone
just because they give you
the time of day

sigh

[FallingLeaves]

it is weird
saying
'i don't want this'
so much

then even
being able
to keep my memory of that
when it gets reflected right back
as if it were the other person
who made the decision
------------------------------------------------------------
he was
going to go
somewhere

then he saw a tahoe

and just crumbled

he just couldn't make himself go.

Probably a good thing.

Sigh

[FallingLeaves]

he's only now
getting to the point
of accepting

he values what he values
and they don't

and being ok with that.

[Nowayout]

the sun rises
As the sun sets

[FallingLeaves]

some things
he's recently found
he can't do for himself
but will gladly do for others

so he is trying cold showers

he's not sorry

more like
he shoulda listened all those years ago

sigh

[Nowayout]

Cold showers are good for the blood flow, in the body...

I hear you and walk away laughing...

God knows I am opening... to all this flow of water, and spirit.

Are you?

Did you get nothing else to say out of me?

Sigh...

Are you?

(innocently) when wasn't i? not doing the one thing i should be doing doesn't equate to doing nothing at all lol!

I thought that you said quite a lot!
