Maybe we're well on our way to becoming boring 😌 I just stopped at whole foods on the way back from work. Didn't even get one funny look. Come on guys you got to give a girl a little bit of excitement lol
-
On the bright side, Maddie started a thread about transgender issues and the most controversial subject to come up today is Lord Byron.
-
That would be acceptable.
-
how about this: next time i'm at one of the local used bookstores i'll check for a byron, just for you
-
oh ok … but your bookcase is otherwise impressive. So thank you.
-
I don't have one! (This contributes to my having no opinion)
-
Well! Where’s your copy of Childe Harold?
-
I don't have any opinions on Lord Byron!
-
What exactly have you got against Lord Byron?
- Yesterday
-
No growth of moor or coppice, No heather-flower or vine, But bloomless buds of poppies, Green grapes of Proserpine, Pale beds of blowing rushes Where no leaf blooms or blushes Save this whereout she crushes For dead men deadly wine.
-
Oh the "Aeneid" and "Dante"
-
Ah the children of the night - how they sing.
-

-
Sing goddess the anger of Achilles son of Peleus! …. Etc
-
All that dark meticulously gleaming wood does look a bit vampiric.
-
The only one I could really make out was the "Iliad"
-
Ooooo ... hot ! Second only to sexy , vaguely B&D suggestive , hot, retro, dominant, Art Deco, Upper class English, Martian , 'devil woman ' ;
-
on second thought, having "the flowers of evil" visible on my shelf probably isn't helping my "not actually malevolent" case...
-
I, being I in this clouded world, Am drawn by base desire and some malevolent duty, To thrust my naked self into the Waterfall, Deluged there by reckless beauty, Submerged in sandy shores and, Named Sharon mysteriously, Washed up on distant shores, Not dead but yet a surrogate corpse, The body of an unborn kind, Transmigrated from this world to the next, Timeless and yet waiting, For the late night bus.

The basic difference in my experience is that in Mahamudra, step by step meditation precedes the view whereas in Dzogchen, the view is introduced and is the meditation. There are also techniques unique to each, and ideas are transmitted with different models depending on the specific school, teacher, etc. Both have been highly flavored by the monastic, Tantric Tibetan culture in my opinion. I'll have to check it out. It seems there are a lot of parallels with Vedanta and Shaivism, and Chinese Chan. I'm curious to what the Daoist influences might be.

@Apech better?

I had to look up what that meant . So I dont really get it .... catch 'it' ? I think the concern was being abducted ' to up the back of the farm ' ???? or if I borrowed their car ... they might want a 'favor' in return - that one was actually suggested .... they didnt want , I did offer though , I took our tractor and pipe layer over there when they wanted to put a new water trough in at the front cow paddock . Actually one of them - Gordon , did try to embarrass me publicly once ; I was cooking for their choir at the community kitchen and had an apron on. He was with others including Marty who I knew (also gay ) . They where having a meeting , and as I passed 'Gordy' says " Nice dress ... do you have a song for us ?" The others smirked , not Marty , he knows me too well , he had an " Noooooo ! " look on his face . So I lifted up my apron and did a little dance and sang " Gordy strap[s his hands and knees into apparatus such as these ; whips, corsets and bows , little boys clothes , goodness knows ! " Marty stood up and "Okay, thats enough now. '' and directed me back to the kitchen .
