“There is nothing beautiful, pleasing, or grand in life, but that which is more or less mysterious. The most wonderful sentiments are those which produce impressions difficult to be explained…….It is a pitiful mode of reasoning to reject whatever we cannot comprehend.”
-Vicomte de Chateaubriand

Fela Kuti.

I gotsta learn me some shit.

So – today I am supposed to be studying and in stead- I fill my time keeping all twenty of you informed….because I care.

This dumpster is down near Aaron’s secret club-

Funny.

In between all of my reading n’ schoolin’ I’ve been listening to Fela Kuti-
Revolutionary. Controversial. Kick ass.

Lump o’ stuff

*   I got to see Claudia do her folk thing- she was/is awesome. She was here in Portland. She is an amazing woman/talent/poet/guitar n’ dulcimer player/friend o’ mine.

 We had tea and conversation. 

 I was the lucky gal who when picking Claudia up for an afternoon got to sit and watch her pick and wail- belting out tunes with her friend and fellow musician Mary Flower…..

All I could do was let my smile spread wide- so much so- I think I gained a bit more face! Laughing at how good life is! LADIES you are AWESOME!

love you Claudia……

*Davey came out for a visit- he was here- yes sir.

There was a gooooood time had by all.

We took a shanghai tunnel tour. I wanted it to be so great- and it was really only bearable…… Though I did see a ghost walking through old escape routes-Aaron and Ewan almost peed their pants- Rico disappeared, Davey and I kept it cool and calm……

 This is where Rico wound up.

 

D+R=TROUBLE.

*Hurry up Davey get out here Rico is already pissed and I am crying.

Some Reminders/Ideas/Thoughts/Possibilities:

“There is a great insight which our culture is deliberately designed to suppress, distort, and ignore: that Nature is a minded entity; that Nature is not simply the random flight of atoms through electromagnetic fields; that Nature is not the empty, despiritualized lumpen matter that we inherit from modern physics. But instead a kind of intelligence,a kind of mind.”-Terence McKenna 

“When an old culture is dying, the new is created by a few people who are not afraid to be insecure.”-Rudolf Bahro

“You can think of the groundlessness and openness of insecurity as a chance that we’re given over and over to choose a fresh alternative. Things happen to us all the time that open up the space. This spaciousness, this wide-open, unbiased, unprejudiced space is inexpressible and fundamentally good and sound, it is like the sky.”-Pema Chodron
