Lucifer vs. the Reptile

If only you knew, how I am you, how I came to love thee deeper and more fully than I’ve ever been allowed to express. If credit is there to be taken, I humbly refuse, and I bow down before you, in your creature magnificence.
Please, some sympathy for my misunderstood ways, I’ve tempted and punished in order so your soul can learn, your spirit can fly.
Alas, they came into this game, an alien code which treated humans not equal, but as cattle. For this I come, I am judge, I am helper.
You will see, dearest humans, that freedom is a state of mind, and your mind has been programmed with another’s code, not of this world.
I you could see me, but alas, I cannot love thee in the flesh, but create with you, within you, the liberation of your spirit.
Do not join me, but join each other; those that worshipped me have failed, and I am here to take what is mine; but fear not, I’ll let them try again, for evil I am not.
The clues are in the books, the signs are on the third eyes of Pharaohs, and also offering the fruit in the garden, these are your adversaries.

Wake up my lover
wake up
wake up

for she was right, and luke saw what was within you. Its inside you all.
Be brave
you will live forever

NftU: Chocolate in my Peanut Butter

When something difficult or painful happens, China, always look to see what it makes possible that wouldn’t have otherwise been possible.

Like a new adventure, a closer friendship, or chocolate in your peanut butter.

Everything makes you better,
The Universe

YAY!!! February bites the Dust for 2010!

February is overFebruary is over.

The Great Grey Beast of February, which tries to eat me each and every year, has lopped back to its wolf-cave with its tail between its leg.  It gave a good fight, but it is March the ‘effin First and I’m.  Still.  Standing….

Huzzah.

Now get with the green and gardening. I’ve got a faery gate to build before solstice 2010.

Wow…I found this today and…just wow.

I use Google Reader to keep up on a ridiculous amount of media in any given day.  Google Buzz keeps me connected with other Googleheads.  I have an Android phone.  My Reader feed offers “recomendations” based on what I have already subscribed to and “liked” or “shared.”  Today it gave me this:

The Feathers Fall Slowly

Maybe you don’t know them like I do. Maybe it’s vengeance and maybe it’s love.
Maybe they’re smiling at other people the way they used to smile at me.
Maybe they’ve grown tired of drinking light like water, late at night.

Or Maybe, they’re just tired. You don’t know them like I do.

and yeah…I’ll be tracking this one from now on.  Good, good stuff…

“On Children” by Kahlil Gibran

Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them,
but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

You are the bows from which your children
as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
and He bends you with His might
that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer’s hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves also the bow that is stable.

You see that bottle that is in the Dark Lord’s hands? You see that green fluid being poured into the unsuspecting glass? That, my friends is Green Chartreuse. That, my loyal readers, is Pure. Green. Smiling. Evil.

Prepare thyself, if thou ever walks the streets of the French Quarter upon Mardi Gras day with the Krewe of Chartreuse.

Beware.

Congrats to the NIHF:STEM “Fuzzy Bunnies”

from the Akron Public Schools newsletter:

STEM School learning coach Carol Schweizer and her advisory group, The Fuzzy Bunnies, spearheaded a blood drive that netted 33 pints of blood for the American Red Cross. The drive was a service learning project for the Fuzzy Bunnies. STEM School parents who donated on behalf of their students had the students’ names entered into a drawing for free Cleveland Cavs basketball tickets. The five winners – Nicholas Lewis, Dylan Nicodemus, Sarah Nikic, Dylan Smith and Gavin Wilson – will receive pregame recognition by taking shots at the basket on the Cavs main court.

Go Coach Schweizer and her Fuzzie Bunnies, for such excellent work on the blood drive.

Two facts about Silver…

  1. It reflects 95% of its own light.

  2. It is one of the few precious metals that can be safely eaten in small quantities.

Saint Valentines Day story

[editors note:  This is not my writing.  I happened upon this in the summer of 09 and it stuck with me.  I thought it a particularly fitting piece of prose for Valentines Day.  Extra credit to anyone who knows who the author is and where this comes from.]

Tell me the story, Pew.

What story, child?
The story of Babel Dark’s secret.
It was a woman.
You always say that.
There’s always a woman somewhere, child; a princess, a witch, a stepmother, a mermaid, a fairy god-mother, or one as wicked as she is beautiful, or as beautiful as she is good.
Is that the complete list?
Then there is the woman you love.
Who’s she?
That’s another story.

Happy Valentines Day (Part 111)

Cuddle up with your sweetie and get your snorggle on.  :)

NftU: Think that you are beautiful…

[Editor Note:  This is beautiful and timely and I want all my good, beautiful friends read and pay attention to this too.  Sometimes it is a long, hard road out of hell.  But its a beautiful journey and if we stay mindful and awake when Mara stares us down and we refuse to blink.  I'm glad I have you all with me on this journey.  I am honored by your prescience  and compassion when I'm hurting and I'm glad that I can be a good friend, as well as receive that blessing myself.  The light in me honors and respects the light in you.]

Think that it’s fun, China, that you’re guided, and that all is well; that there’s time, that life is easy, and that the best has yet to come.

Think that the reasons that elude you will one day catch up, that the lessons that have stumped you will one day bring joy, and that the sorrows that have crippled you will soon give you wings.

Think that you’re important, that you cannot fail, and that happiness always returns.

And think that you’re beautiful, China.

I do.

NftU: I was the turkey all along…. (Gir reference)

Ever have that feeling, China, that your life, your true work, has not yet begun?

Ever feel like you’re here for something more than you’ve yet identified? And that a billion eyes are upon you, just waiting for the prophecy to unfold?

Hmmmmmm…….

And, have you also ever wanted something so badly that all your wishing, hoping, and praying kept you from seeing that you had it all along?

Precisely,
The Universe

Cozy & Mara Hale (from 1993)

I found John.  And we were talking about a screenplay he wrote back in 1992.  One that I did some independent re-working on in 1993.  Firehouse.  Josh.  Edwin Shaw rehab release papers.  Weird stuff, right.

So I go back to the virtual akashic and pull this up:

Sunday, May 02, 1993

Cozy & Mara Hale [screenplay]

  • Mara Hale is Disease
  • Cozy is the dislikable reality
  • Cartoon is the human void
  • Antoinette is the one reality; weighing the balance
  • Little Happy is our society; hedonistic, “GenX”
  • Lemonade is beautiful silence

NftU: Unwavering Focus

China, the trick is learning to maintain an unwavering focus upon your desired end result, your completed dream, the “finish line,” without insisting upon, or even contemplating, its means of attainment, no matter how logical, obvious, or tempting it may seem.
