    clarity of meaning

    wind moves in trees

    from a distance silence waves,

    unless you hang chimes!

     

     

    (leaves shimmering = waving 

     one is far away and cannot hear the wind---

    it is silent)

    hello Neir-

     

    I do not post often at the Dao bums but felt moved to post a welcome to you.

     

    I just kept having this thought about your impetus and compelling nature to understand what is. that is the most simple way for me to not have to restate some of your journey. I recall a daunting fact which I DO NOT KNOW to be total fact or not but it regarded the worlds oceans and exploration. 5% of the oceans of the world have been discovered. just trying to draw parallel to what I think possibly the not being so comfortable other 95% not explored. comb the libraries/access to internet/ al this learning math science languages...

     

    It seems like its so far unlike anything I experience. for me maybe  the pendulum swing so far the other way- as in I hope to understand the world in something more simple and poetic like a grain of sand.

     

    so its very entertaining to read your opening story and I am sure many others will connect with you

     

     

    best of luck and I hope the difficult times lighten.

    additional thought

    where crawdads sing

    delia owens

     

    technically not on my nightstand

    just last book I read recent

     

    ode to nature/rural north Carolina marsh life

     

    fiction

     

    "sand keeps secrets much better than mud"

     

     

    prologue: first paragraph only

     

    Marsh is not swamp. Marsh is a space of light, where grass grows in water, and waterflows into sky. Slow moving creeks wander, carrying the orb of the sun with them to the sea, and long-legged birds lift with unexpected grace--as though not built to fly--against the roar of a thousand snow geese.

    its very late for me to be on computer. I need directions to Indianapolis. packing for a trip. the Nationals for band comps.

     

    Colts stadium-Bands of America!!!!

     

    The Knights just won the State Band Marching Invitational and State Honor Band title for 7th year in a row.

     

    this is truly inspiring

    who won what?

     

    I had read the passage of the invincible summer----only relating that to a damn kd lang cd-

    not remembering that she was quoting albert camus.

     

    until I scrolled through albert camus quotes and read the winter.....invincible summer.

     

    quote. I don't think I want to understand or undergo anyones experience of some invincible summer.

    I am happy in endless sad.

     

    thank you--

    that reminded me of hearing Christmas music at the mall just a few days ago......

     

    of course to stimulate sales and get the anxiety ramped up for shopping. it was the very day after halloween

     

    I don't even remember the song but I felt like I am in a terrible trap- a moment of nostalgia but then I just wanted to leave and I did too.

     

    sorry my apology this has nothing to do with what you are pointing too....

     

    and the very fact that the ladies room smells like a kd lang concert yet another reason to high tail it OUT.

    the whole problem with the world is the "THE" authors penciling around with their pencils trying very hard to take out THEIR large wooden spoons----( spoons) and stir the pot to create controversy.....then turn around and pin it on you...……….

     

    Bertrand russell?

     

    I am leaving for my ppd...….

    yes swearing is for small minded people. learning some new words myself.

    welcome clouded mirror. hopefully you get to stay around and figure things out a bit.

    sagebrush welcomes you to the dao bums.

    don't be foiled by some of the folks here operating more than one chess player on the board.

    some have husbands that are deceased and these same ones shortly after have wives that are good cooks.....

    that sure is some pseudoscience.....but then again,,,,the devil is in the details.
