i'll do the details...you do the meaning

the dress is see through

or the slip escaped

giovanna and princess di

the instance is unmeasured

pearls distract the eye

because today i am fairly certain when the vegas sun is behind me this is going on.

friky, friky fresh i-i-i-i-iiiiner peace.

the troubadours...wandering, seeking, singing poets. a conscious spiritual practice: courtly love. costa rica is no longer a silent call. it is vocal; forces of Lover and Beloved.

the love poem of the bible of the lover and beloved never possessing: Song of Songs.

Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.

For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;

The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come,

and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land.

Fusion of Fantasy

my childhood FAVORITE and my adult FAVORITE
Alice in Wonderland and Johnny Depp

Alice: I've had nothing yet, so I can't take more.

Better then A Bag of Chips

Litter

i would accept fritos as payment to model these beauties...and still feel worth way more then a box of frito chips.

the good of the whole over excessive individualism

Unlimited self-assertion is not a source of strength for any group organized for common purpose, Unlimited desire and claims lead to conflicts. Life of just man is better and happier. There is always some specific virtue in everything, which enables it to work well. If it is deprived of that virtue, it works badly. ---Socrates

today is one step closer to the strength of my little family...so it works well.

breath

“The medium of poetry is a human body: the column of air inside the chest, shaped into signifying sounds in the larynx and the mouth. In this sense, poetry is just as physical or bodily an art as dancing.“Moreover, there is a special intimacy to poetry because, in this idea of the art, the medium is not an expert’s body, as when one goes to the ballet: in poetry, the medium is the audience’s body. When I say to myself a poem by Emily Dickinson or George Herbert, the artist’s medium is my breath. The reader’s breath and hearing embody the poet’s words. This makes the art physical, intimate, vocal, and individual.”— Robert Pinsky—From Robert Pinsky’s The Sounds of Poetry: A Brief Guide (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1998).

Dichotomy

wrestle. harder. no such thing as too much prosecution: RECIPROCAL POSITIONS

in leopard bikinis, boots, acid wash jacket: this is what i call FORCEFIELD mode

then...

The next morning,

I felt my husband's body on me

crushing me sweetly like a weight laid heavy on some

soft thing, some fruit, holding me

hard to this world. Yes the tears came

out like juice and sugar from the fruit --

the skin thins and breaks and rips, there are

laws on this earth and we live by them.

--Sharon Olds "The Feelings"

tender pain

after the physical limit

the elated inner soul is

inside a tabernacle that works.

the race was very cold,

muscles still in detox,

not a stellar performance.

10k in 48 minutes. after, laying in the sun, came the tender pain.

i am so blessed.

we then hiked angel's landing. my one man support team was perfect, my baby's laugh was deep (he was laughing the whole trip), my beauty girl friend bond was cemented.

"this apple isn't poisoned?"

Marriage is an agreement to have told to you a series of uncomfortably true stories about yourself. " How silly would you feel having done that when this phase is over? Remember the navel ring..." Touche you logical beast of a man. Superenjoy this look. Superenjoy in general.

You stick your head above the crowd and attract attention and sometimes somebody will throw a rock at you. That's the territory. You buy the land, you get the Indians. David Lee Roth

the heart of a small boy and he keeps it in a jar on his desk

You are the one
Solid the spaces lean on, envious.
You are the baby in the barn.
(from Nick and the Candlestick by Sylvia Plath)

"you will be fine...you have your foundation."


in this desert, the infinity where there is nothing but the fundamental white page, gratefully, there are solids for the spaces to lean on. the legacy for those babies in the barn will be solid.

all to trick a monkey*

the white faced monkey attempted to haul away my beach bag, but i caught him. today i put a bowling ball in my beach bag. i struggled to carry it to the same sandy spot, but if that crafty monkey comes again, he will know i am the higher primate.

*whatever may be missing in the daily interaction of days long gone can be replaced, if only temporarily, with something equally wonderful.

my girl crush and i agree we often get a random males making misguided attempts at small talk such as, "you look sad," or "you look bored," or "you're much prettier when you smile." no longer will i resist my deep urge to say "then dance like a monkey!"

on the subject of quality

it’s not like anyone plans on going to Denny’s, you just end up there

This is where I would want to end up...with Kira and the horses.

It becomes more and more clear that people like groups; groups feel safe by defintion, and groups find solidarity in persecution. They are all fundamentally fundamental in the same ways:

There is a group, the Vampyre Nation (VN), that has filed a Complaint for Sovereignty. The VN mainly supports the VWP political party (Vampyres, Witches and Pagans) and as Vampyres their sworn enemies are Muslims, which Barack Obama is Muslim, and as such the VN is moving to be given money and land to create their own nation.

In the time of the Albigensian Crusade agaisnt the Albigensian and Cathar sects in France, the government tried peaceful conversion of the Cathars, then declared a crusade. A campaign started in 1233, burning vehement and relapsed Cathars wherever they were found, even exhuming some bodies for burning. The last known bon hommes, Guillaume Belibaste, was burned in 1321.

Missouri Executive Order 44, also known as the "extermination order" in Latter Day Saint history, was an executive order issued on October 27, 1838 by Missouri governor Lilburn Boggs. The order was in response to what Boggs termed "open and avowed defiance of the laws, and of having made war upon the people of this State ... the Mormons must be treated as enemies, and must be exterminated or driven from the State if necessary for the public peace—their outrages are beyond all description." The order was formally rescinded in 1976.

The Hells Angels Motorcycle Club (HAMC) is a world-wide Brotherhood motorcycle gang whose members typically ride Harley-Davidson motorcycles. Both the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Criminal Intelligence Service Canada classify the Angels as one of the "big four" outlaw motorcycle gangs, contending that members carry out widespread violence, drug dealing, trafficking in stolen goods, and extortion. Members of the organization itself assert that this is a mischaracterization, and state that they are a group of motorcycle enthusiasts who organize social events such as group road trips, fundraisers, parties, and motorcycle rallies.

Hamas is "a Palestinian national liberation movement that struggles for the liberation of the Palestinian occupied territories and for the recognition of Palestinian legitimate rights." Hamas, the document stated, "regards itself as an extension of an old tradition that goes back to the early 20th century struggle against British and Zionist colonialism in Palestine." The Covenant identifies Hamas as the Muslim Brotherhood in Palestine and considers its members to be Muslims who "fear God and raise the banner of Jihad in the face of the oppressors." On November 4, 2008 Israeli forces killed six Hamas gunmen in a raid inside the Gaza Strip. Hamas responded with a barrage of rockets. During November a total of 190 home made rockets were fired from Gaza into Israel. On December 18, 2008, Hamas issued a statement declaring that it would end the six-month ceasefire scheduled to officially expire the next day. Hamas blamed Israel, saying it had not respected its terms, including the lifting of the blockade under which little more than humanitarian aid has been allowed into Gaza. On December 21, following the launch of more than 70 rockets from Gaza targeted at Israel. Israel declared a unilateral ceasefire in their Gaza operations on 17 January 2009.

Hezbollah (Arabic: literally "party of God") is a Shi'a Islamic political and paramilitary organization based in Lebanon. Hezbollah was formed in the early 1980s, mostly with the aid of the Ayatollah Khomeini's followers, in order to spread Islamic revolution. In much of the Arab world, Hezbollah is seen as a legitimate resistance organization that has defended its land against an Israeli occupying force and has consistently stood up to the Israeli army.

Al-Qaeda is an international Sunni Islamist extremist movement founded between 1988 and late 1989. Al-Qaeda's objectives include the end of foreign influence in Muslim countries and the creation of a new Islamic caliphate. Reported beliefs include that a Christian-Jewish alliance is conspiring to destroy Islam, and that the killing of bystanders and civilians is Islamically justified in jihad. Toward the end of the Soviet military mission in Afghanistan, some mujahedeen wanted to expand their operations to include Islamist struggles in other parts of the world, such as Israel and Kashmir. A number of overlapping and interrelated organizations were formed to further those aspirations. One of these was the organization that would eventually be called al-Qaeda, formed by Osama bin Laden with an initial meeting held on August 11, 1988. Bin Laden wished to establish nonmilitary operations in other parts of the world.

this is a dandy group...for now
