Hee, hee, Houellie - you think you can read me - but you can't.

Because I lament bogan sensibilities, you think I'm a "dinner party" type.

Because I can string a few words together, you've got me pegged at a certain echelon of society.

Well I'm out here somewhere, but I doubt if you could accurately categorize me...but, by all means, keep trying.

("...how can you say I go about things the wrong way....")

You misread me poirot. I anticipate what you would least like to be characterised as.

Well it doesn't matter then - your anticipations are no concern of mine.

No it doesn't matter.

Nothing matters.

A lot goes on but nothing happens.

The needle turns to the start of the song and we all sing along like before.

It's a luscious mix of words and tricks
That let us bet when we know we should fold

Hold your glass up, hold it in
Never betray the way you've always known it is.

All these squawking birds won't quit.
Building nothing, laying bricks.

Don't think about all the things you fear.
Just be glad to be here.

its like jesus said
its about sorting ya sheep..from ya goat

its about sorting the wheat..from the tares
some are so bleedingly obviously different..that the sorting is easy
others can only be decided/defined by fine thinking..or at harvest time

see we are/mostly..like we think
of course even the most certain
can certainly be delusional

but we live[even think
we have 'lived']and then many even think we die

but we are energy being..in the beginning gods-energy created us
in the present gods/love-energy..sustains us to live
at the end
the energy we all thought ourselves to be..goes back to god

of course there is energy
that thinks it alone..knows truth
creates its reality..within that truth
and there are other energies..based in faul-city

there are dark/energies
and light/energies
good/bad..etc

but all energy
has its beginning
and ending with and in god[good]
but energy is eternal..it can change state..
*be creative..*or destructive

but its still the flow
of energy flowing here and there
to and fro..here goes the energy of my words
..my thoughts..wrought by works..into words..to rest/who knows where

it could be good..or sad
that we all dont know

yet that we do know is vast
yet that we dont know..is more..[ever more

the more we are ,..the more..
less of us know
a given..or percieved truth..or faulsity

its thought by some
that in=spiration comes from within
[let then have their miss-belief]

know the truth is in-spiration comes in
via the in-flow..in-flux..of like/seeking like

that which follows the sorting
of the goats from the sheep
the tares from the wheat
the good from the bad
the light from the dark

once like en-joines/with the influx/..inflow of like
the love-song..comes to the lover becomes a lover
the murder mystry..to the hater

peace to the peacefull
and eternal war..to the worrier
so war-ry no more.. and do not worry

you essentially are energy..

and energy cannot be destroyed
so waste no energy..on the energy you wasted
use the energy you still have..to bring the changes

*for the better
[time to end this letter]

Houellie,

Notwithstanding your penchant for relieving yourself upon the well-laid tables of pretension, I wonder why you denigrate anyone who questions the status quo - navel gazers and narcissists, no less.

When I was in my teens, I was watching Dallas and Great Temptation - I was reading the latest potboilers. Then one day I picked up a book by Tolstoy - I used to read it in my car at lunchtimes while I ate a burger.
So one book led to another book and another and so on and so on....

Some of us meander away from the prescribed course and in doing so are exposed to other minds from other times. We learn things and slowly imperceptibly are changed...we start to look at things differently.
But it doesn't mean that we lose the perspective of our mortality or our human condition - in fact, it brings it into sharper relief,

I find it fascinating that you and Yabby waste no time in putting the boot into anyone who dares to suggest an alternative to Western thinking, anyone who is being creative in their vision.
