Passage tell-e-vision

Greetings,

Yes, this is the Truth channel. Do not attempt to adjust your set. Eyeballs perhaps but not the set. Game, set, match. You will be happy to know that television continues to dumb down the population around the planet.

For example, I was walking through the very narrow concrete passageway either to or from the street of dreams where I eat with construction workers and allow Jasmine to develop confidence with her English for an hour as impatient motorcycle people hurrying home beep-beep-beep negotiating a thin street filled with kids, elderly walkers, young exercise addicts going or coming from the park across from clogged streets,

women carrying bamboo baskets filled with vegetables, bricks, recycled steel, bread and dreams mixed with residents sitting on tiny plastic kindergarten chairs crowding home/store fronts, drinking beer, peeling, peeing, cooking, eating, in brief - living

inside the narrow as I passed numerous open portal homes made of sliding accordion gates nestling motorcycles in the front room, I saw and heard vast volumed images flickering their phosphorescence, their

marketing and economic messages into brain faces of kids, parents, grandparents and ancestors. An old women sat slumped against a door frame staring at the box. She hasn't seen the sky for years. If she looks left and up she can see a slight sliver shiver. That's it.

Let's eat! Let's watch TV! Give me your consciousness. Everyone is happy. Life is good.

Metta.

Authorized to speak truth

Greetings,

According to me, speaking on the condition of anonymity because I am not authorized to reveal the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth:

1. truth is classified. The source of truth concerning Everything is classified. Ossified.

Yes, I am authorized to say, with complete anonymity that truth is filtered, it is compartmentalized, abstracted, excerpted, sliced, diced, parsed, fossilized and classified. It hides inside a deeply buried locked black box. The key is classified. The key is not on a social network site designed to distract.

The key is, for the Time Being, a woman somewhere in India carrying the world on her back. She's the key. 

2. truth is a joke. The source of truth concerning jokes is classified. I am not authorized to reveal the joke. The big joke, the laugh track. Your tears speak streak truth, mangling truth.

3. truth is a myth. The source of the myth is classified. Read it and weep. As Antonio Porchia well said, (he was authorized to speak) - "Truth has very few friends and those few are suicides." 

4. truth is the Next BIG Thing. It will modify seeds providing billions of humans with a genetic food source.

5. truth will provide more than 1 billion people with access to safe drinking water.

6. truth will enable literacy for 850,000,000 million people worldwide who cannot read. Woman are 2/3 of this number.

7. truth will employ 2.8 billion people surviving on less than $2 a day. Truth will employ 1.1 billion people existing on less than $1 a day.

8. truth will assist 70% of the people in the "developing" world having no access to electricity in their homes, health clinics and schools.

Truth is a fatal disease, like love. A sledgehammer.

Speak Easy

Greetings,

Two people meet. One says to the other, "I don't know anything but can say everything."

The other says, "I know everything but can say nothing."

Speaking of speaking, here's a fine little travel site for your perusal. You can read travel stories, see great images, check out gear, attitudes, advice, tips, spirit and community. Share your verbal and pictorial adventure with the world. 

Matador....learn more.

I've added a guestbook for readers to share and express their feelings, ideas, and opinions. Feel free to drop me a line playing with letters, arranging them in some form of cosmic significance. 

Metta.

Doodler Day by Day

Greetings,

Every feeling waits upon its gesture. Impressions of a distinct quiet zone of imprecise calculating. Observations and empirical data. Art and symbols.

It's the dragonfly and lightning bolt show. Flashes of brilliance in the DNA helix conceal spiritual and political meaning in the infinite play. The poetic inspiration rebels against science and math.                                    

Dancing fonts, color's spectrum,                                                                                                           jellyfish, aqua laughter, cut the grass,                                                                                                           voices, yellow butterfly, perspiration, inspiration.

This transparent space. The inside minddream. 

You love to doodle. Everyone doodles their noodle while walking the poodle.

Endless Forms

Greetings,

Find whatever freedom it is you that you need, or whatever freedom from need that you seek.

Please put the blue sky on the white table. Unfold it gently. It is fragile and may be slightly creased along the horizon.

There are people who want to blame you and people who want to distract you.

On Samuel: "Beckett was very precise. He didn't want theories or any level of intellectualization. He paid a lot of attention to the tone of voice and to the relationships among the characters. And he cared a great deal about the silences and the pauses."

"As beautiful as the chance encounter, on an operating table, of a sewing machine and an umbrella."

"Freedom - being conscious and aware enough to choose what you pay attention to and to choose how you construct meaning from experience." - David Foster Wallace
