Do them or don't, write ...Oh, demon substances! Do them or don't, write truly about them or just make it up. But a free people chooses many paths to expanded consciousness and to tap into the world behind this one from whence everything arises. And cures can arrive many ways, since the materialist model is a lie that tells only a small part of the truth about what is real. Maybe not drumming though -- not for a migraine! Be well.

Those were "heady" days and at least there was talk of love and peace in the air. Like drug trips though, everything turned out to be illusion.

I love your poem. :)<br /><br />I did not know that was the Germanic spelling (certainly got your drug-induced spiritual references, though). You teach me SO much about words, and it excites me. Thank you for the weekly vocabulary, life, and history lessons. I adore your work.<br /><br />I have posted two other word lists since I've had the new blog. Both posts are entitled "Words."

"swing open those doors...I LOVE that picture.<br /><br />"swing open those doors of perception,<br />and hark the dandelions sang" ... I'm grinning already.<br /><br />Love apple jelly. :)<br /><br />"a straw dog jumped up and ran out of the room<br />barking in German" ... Hi-larious!<br /><br />"surmising that the oyster gods of fungus were guileless <br />and gilled with black shoelace Asian beards" ... You really rocked this word list, man.<br /><br />"crumpling into a limp lobster<br />pose with pillows over my head" ... And that's exactly how it goes.<br /><br />"I was invited to participate.<br />38 minutes post-ingestion" ... Great sound here. Love the subtle rhyme in "participate" and "thirty-eight."<br /><br />"prayer candles hissed and popped<br />like sparklers, as the table tops" ... Same here with the rhyme in "popped" and "tops."<br /><br />"as I floated for a lifetime" ... Love this.<br /><br />"My headaches are strangers now,<br />anxiety just a quaint memory,<br />God chants behind my pancreas,<br />death is but a transitory portal,<br />loving spirits dance in my hallways,<br />and incredible spiritual well being<br />rises in me daily as my inner sun. " ... Oh man. Where can I get some of this?! :)<br /><br />This poem is super-groovy awesome, and so are you. Thank you, my friend. You made my day.flipside recordshttp://flipsiderecords.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
