I was showing off

1/16/2023 -- The downside to desocialization

I’m remembering how to laugh at myself — most outwardly directed criticism is pinpointing where in my eternal (internal) landscape it lies

Being an internal cartographer has traps — At least you’ll know where they lie

“The hermit of Lotus Flower Peak held up the staff and said to the assembly, “When the ancestors got here, why didn’t they stay here?” — “Because there was no power for the path.” — Blue Cliff Record #25 — The Hermit of Lotus Peak

It’s good to remember all our interpretations are stolen

Sometimes — when I walk in the cemetery — I get sad — not for the usual reasons — after all — the dark topology is why I walk here — rather the pretense of importance

Seen from this side — 100 years later you were always bound to be Humanoid Skeleton Exhibit U23S42Pxxxx

I don’t see them worrying — with their intelligence— this late — the questions seem to be: Edible? Yes/No — Crow? Yes/No — Safe? Yes/No and Does the wind feel better here? Here/Here

Double the protection — probably have a concealed carry license as well

I know I shouldn’t apologize — spending too much time alone — my ravines and cliffs are showing

Let me make up for my messy topography — here’s an animation of a cat

Much love,
