Technigritty Spiritual Pseudomatter or TSP
I wonder if he’s thinking, “That is my chest and those are my ankles and these are my hands, but these are not me. These are wrinkled, these have been used, used up, used up well.”
I hope he is, he deserves to.
“supper supper” pop says
“thank you thank you”
So the days just keep slipping by. Slipping by, slipping by, but they never really seem to loose their footing do they? I know I sure do, but the days, they seem stable. The days tend to act as a direct mirror of my potential in relationship to my intentions and my efforts. Funny to think these sorts of things are perhaps formulaic, but perhaps they are. Numbers and unabashed logic were never my forte, but I respect the fields and hope to learn from them soon enough.
My days are pretty much far from what they were, especially out there in Utah. It’s amazing how some times in our life cast light on long periods of time in our life, sometimes we come out of the fog of the monkey mind caught in the too rapid present and see a section, a piece, a collection, an intent, a pattern, an aim, the Way. Sometimes it’s just mental blotter but sometimes you fall on the truth and then it’s not even there after you pick yourself up. None but ourselves can free our minds.
It’s all going to be ok I know I know, I’m waiting for it to pass through, roll with the tide, punches come round often, don’t worry about the technigritty parts.
It’s the same as it ever was, so the potential to have experiences of great depth and width, just like the framing fathers of our society must have had, are still there to happen, to you, in your head, so you can share them with me. How else does one individual, with all their complicated ego nooks and crannies, come to be open for – if not the reception of truth, the recognition of it- from a state of consciousness that dissolves the walls and boundaries between things, theories, promises and lies? Travel by balloon, its so much harder than you realize to really get out from all the bunk waves comin’ at us everywherewhich angle. It’s a miracle, literally, a miracle to meet a true teacher that is pure and wise and unaffiliated in your lifetime.
The less we say about it the better
Make it up as we go along
Feet on the ground, head in the sky
Its ok, I know nothing’s wrong
Hi yo! I got plenty of time
Hi yo! You’ve got light in your eyes
Pop turns 89 on june 17th and I turn 23 on june 13th and if you do the math and we’re as blessed as pop is, we have more than most of half of our life to go still.
home is where your soul was sown
I Saw the Light
hank williams sr.
I wandered so aimless life filed with sin
I wouldnt let my dear saviour in
Then jesus came like a stranger in the night
Praise the lord I saw the light.
I saw the light I saw the light
no more darkness no more night
Now Im so happy no sorrow in sight
Praise the lord I saw the light.
Just like a blind man I wandered along
Worries and fears I claimed for my own
Then like the blind man that God gave back his sight
Praise the lord I saw the light.
I was a fool to wander and astray
Straight is the gate and narrow the way
Now I have traded the wrong for the right
Praise the lord I saw the light.
my brain is just a jellyfish in the ocean of my head
mental floss
jimmy buffet
I'd like to be a jellyfish
'Cause jellyfish don't pay rent
They don't walk and they don't talk
With some Euro-trash accent
They're just simple protoplasm
Clear as cellophane
They ride the winds of fortune
Life without a brain
In one ear and out the other
Don't you get criss-crossed
I recommend you try a little
Mental floss
It's the small, small problems
That keep me so upset
And send me seeking shelter
Beneath my mosquito net
I stay there for hours
Protected from the night
All those insects and vipers
And other things that bite
I'd like to be a jellyfish
'Cause jellyfish don't pay rent
They don't walk and they don't talk
With some Euro-trash accent
They're just simple protoplasm
Clear as cellophane
They ride the winds of fortune
Life without a brain
In one ear and out the other
Don't you get criss-crossed
I recommend you try a little
Mental floss
the birth of strawogami, look at the detail on those fish!
GONGGGGGGgggGGGGggGGGgggggg!
Q: how can you tell how many turkeys are in the field when the hay is already 3 ft tall?
A: hit the gong and count how many heads pop up as they flee for the treeline.

what i learned to remember last sunday morning, early last sunday morning:
1. stare it in the face.
2. be aware of language barriers.
3. listen closley.
4. notice it without saying it.
5. communication is impossible and important.
6. if you're intentions are good, you're going to win.
7. you're going to need to lose everything you think you have at least once.

me i'm still out flying
Head
Railroad Earth
Wooooooah
Wooooooah
All the world is lying sleeping
Everyone in bed
Me, I’m still out flying
Trying to turn on my own head
Turn on my own head
Turn on my own head
Me, I’m still out flying
Trying to turn on my own head
Wooooooah
Wooooooah
All the world is in darkness
Every light is dead
Me, I’m still out flying
Trying to turn on my own head
Turn on my own head
Turn on my own head
Me, I’m still out flying
Trying to turn on my own head
Wooooooah
Wooooooah
All the world may go to ruin
Every dream go dead
Me, I’ll be out flying
Trying to turn on my own head
Turn on my own head
Turn on my own head
Me, I’ll be out flying
Trying to turn on my own head
Wooooooah
Wooooooah
Wooooooah

god bless my roots. our roots.
Years With Rose
Yonder Mountain String Band
It's been too many years with only memories
Looking back through the years with my Rose
Back on the past, Lord Almighty she went fast
That same old Sunday kind of comes and goes
Same old Sunday kind of comes and goes
It's been too many days in this old rocking chair
Looking back down the road and 'round the bend
Hoping that I'll see her coming slowly 'round the bend
She coming with her suitcase up the lane
Strollin' with her suitcase up the lane
It's been too many nights in this old house alone
Talking back to myself in such a way
Hoping that I'll hear her gently answering me "Dear"
When she whispers in my ear she's gonna stay
Whispers in my ear she's gonna stay
