OF THE
TIMES
I actually have a few people I would plan to "visit" or something. Some to say 'hey, don't be so worried about whats after'; and to others...watching the world as is fall apart and to tell them "I told you so ". I NEEDED THAT! THANK YOU!As my Pops would have said, "That is PRECIOUS!" (And, I dare say that even The Ghost Of Christmas Present was one of our poor souls' 'better angels', if not an full blown archangel.. )
But my dose was far too low to be a OD. AND, from your last post: "(without giving too much of it away) "I can tell you that supposed 'Grammar Nazis' (such as RC has been accused of - I STILL can't understand why! ) who survive you*) will miss you, for when I see a "to low", - argh! - it jumps off the page at me like fingernails on a blackboard to many folks' ears, I dunno why.
I am not a Christian, but I have Christian values. I don't pray but I do believe there is a sphere of energy influence with group prayer. Our world is energy. It would be much too arrogant to think we know for sure what is what and that any religion or belief is the one true path. I think they are all connected in some form. They all describe something greater than themselves, than anything or anyone. I believe it is the universe energy that some can tap into and some ignore. I don't think we as humans will ever fully comprehend it while in our current physical yet limited state. Mortality is just a step in our existence IMO. A moment in time if it is to be even measurable.5. BUT then I notice that your original second post, supra, has " to arrogant to think " and I am verklempt!
Human existence or even earthly existence is all about rules, limits, boundaries etc. Laws of physics, physical limitations and such as well.
I don't believe that what was before and what is after has these limits.
CW had written:I there replied (see SOTT story, infra)
I used this scripture, and the fact that nobody understands what I'm talking about anyway, to give myself permission to go ahead and get chatty with nature. If nobody was going to understand, whatever, at least the critters weren't assholes.
"to give myself permission to go ahead and get chatty with nature."Nothing wrong about talking with critters.
I recently was out in the wild woods and came across a swamp cottontail. I did my best Dr. Doolittle, being very calm (a rarity for me) and walked to within five foot of the bunny.** We chatted. I finally let the bunny go off and, (I bet I said this or something quite like it) "Nice meeting you. Now, go on, git - go on and hop on down the bunny trail," which it did, in no great hurry.
โYeah, one more thing. But look here, Docโ you know HughHere's a cute, fun and funny critter site at reddit of critters doing what they do. [Link] And a yowling pup. [Link]
Miller?โ
โYes,โ Adam said, โyes, I know him.โ
โWell, he was in with meโ yeah. Attorney Generalโ and he re-
signed. And you know why?โ But he went on without waiting for
the answer. โHe resigned because he wanted to keep his little hands
clean. He wanted the bricks but he just didn't know somebody has
to paddle in the mud to make 'em. He was like somebody that just
loves beefsteak but just can't bear to go to a slaughter pen because
there are some bad, rough men down there who aren't animal lovers
and who ought to be reported to the S.P.C.A. Well, he resigned.โ
I watched Adamโs face. It was white and stony, as though carved
out of some slick stone. He was like a man braced to hear what the
jury foreman was going to say. Or what tlie doctor was going to say.
Adam must have seen a lot of faces like that in his time. He must
have had to look into them and tell them what he had to tell.
โYeah,โ the Boss said, โhe resigned. He was one of those guys
wants everything and wants everything two ways at once. You know
the kind. Doc?โ
He flicked a look over at Adam, like a man iflicking a fly over by
the willows in the trout stream. But there wasn't any strike.
โYeah, old Hughโ he never learned that you can't have every-
thing. That you can have mighty little. And you never have any-
thing you don't make. Just because he inherited a little money and
the name Miller he thought you could have everything. Yeah, and
he wanted the one last damned thing you canโt inherit. And you
know what it is?โ He stared at Adamโs face.
โWhat?โ Adam said, after a long pause.
โGoodness. Yeah, just plain, simple goodness. Well you canโt in-
herit that from anybody. You got to make it, Doc. If you want it.
And you got to make it out of badness. Badness. And you know
why. Doc?โ He raised his bulk up in the broken-down wreck of an
overstuffed chair he was in, and leaned forward, his hands on his
knees, his elbows cocked out, his head outthrust and the hair com-
ing down to his eyes, and stared into Adamโs face. โOut of badness,โ
he repeated. โAnd you know why? Because there isnโt anything else
to make it out of.โ Then, sinking back into the wreck, he asked,
softly, โDid you know that. Doc?โ
Adam didn't say a word.
Then the Boss asked, softer still, almost whispering, โDid you
know that. Doc?โ
I have a stronger connection to birds tho of all animals. It takes absolutely no effort at all to connect with them. I can feel their state of being most of the time. I have lost 3 hens in my arms over the past number of years. Let me tell you, that nearly destroyed me. They were/are the loves of my life and I just can't type out what that did. They are the number one reason I look forward to the after. I hope to be with them again.When my uncle passed, so much amazingly cool stuff happened that it's a 'see the autobiography' type of thing. But, I told his widow, my aunt, (this was in January in the High Sierras), "Uncle L said "Look for birds."
I sat with her for over 3 hours with a syringe filled with a strong mix of bottled water and electrolytes and dripping it one drop at a time on her beak for her to drink it.See the AB! Holy Moly! At the same moments that my Uncle passed, I was neck deep in saving a cat that a vet had said needed to be put down. My friends knew that I was the person to call. I ended up having to make my own Why? Because the drug war made lactate ringers solution something a prescription was needed for! ARGH!
She said right out...you are a freakin bird whisperer :-D (My uncle said that some birds carry the souls of recently departed folks, or some such - he said it better.) COOL story!* She was incredibly stoked at the event, charged damn near nothing that time, and every time I went there up until she retired and sold the business, she would bring in any new staff and make me retell that story, et al. (yeah, like my Pops' and his side of the family) I and my brother can tell a good, true story entertainingly.
the Horney Toad whispererWhen we lived out in the Mojave, those critters were everywhere! Loved 'em. When I first saw an electric hand sander, it reminded me of how they would UFO down into the hardpan. Squirt blood out of their eyes! Totally cool! (If folks are unaware, that's true. Nat. G. quick video on it, I got no commercial. [Link] )
Love the animal sensitives comments here :-) I took a chance and let a bit of my secret out and was not disappointed. Thank you sotters :-)We're always here to listen and talk about whatever is on your mind. Whatever the article comments are about don't really matter sometimes
In fact, these days people try to misunderstand you on purpose. I stopped trying to not curse when I talk to them. I don't care any more. Fuk'em. They hear what they want to hear. I hadn't noticed people did that until several years ago. I think it's annoying. I say something, and then instead of trying to understand what I said, they purposely interpret it as far from the context as possible, just to be jerks.Ain't it the sad truth.
It'll have to be spelled out in a way they don't need to understand....I digress.
Dragging the trash to the wrong curb will make her squawk up a storm.I drive with my cats a lot and they learn the routes to my house and the smartest one, when being driven by others would jump up and raise hell when they missed the shortcut turns I uniformly take. "Meow, MEOW! Paws on the dash, looking back at the street receding...
She takes snap shots and compares them to her desktop wallpaper.RC
My experience has shown me that no matter what I say to humans they are thick as a brick.Very well said. I have pretty much thought as much and said as much for many many years.
I swear, there are millions of people who live their life without even touching the earth except to eat it or fuck it.
People in politics act like they want a better way, but they don't.
among other thingsThere is a reason why you usually see Barky Obozo standing up...it hurts too much to sit...
Comment: Pressley is immersed, fairly completely, in a Pseudo-reality - that is so far removed from truth that her rhetoric, coupled with her position of power, threatens to psychologically infect those (who actually take her seriously) without their understanding that she has some rather serious pathologies.
