THE IRIDESCENT FLIES ARE BACK......SO IT'S TIME FOR THE STINKY YELLOW FLOWERS TO OPEN THEIR TREASURES TO THE GATHERING INSECTS. WHERE DOES THIS LITTLE CACTUS GET THE ENERGY TO MAKE THESE ENORMOUS FLOWERS?
In the late 60's and early 70's, . Hare Krishnas seemed to be everywhere.......good spirited, if a bit delusional, they had many feasts at their temple on Ponce De Leon Avenue, here.......I was handed the "BOOK" in the giver's hopes that I would adopt this religion....as I had been given a photo of Mehr Baba the year before (I still have it on the shelf before me, now).......When I was told that Albert Einstein had read the book and commented that "it was all there", I was intrigued and made my way through the work..... then, The Secret Doctrine......All of what I read, of what I have heard, and of what I have seen has contributed to my personal philosophy of Life, which is still changing and developing....Yet I believe very little.....and question even that which seems obvious and "true".......who knows what IS? Danza D Amore by Amelia Cuni
me....but remember that sometimes I'm tuned to the music of the spheres and sometimes I'm tuned to my own bullshit.....The Lady or the Tiger! One always speaks the truth, the other tries to escape its prison. The old folk legend of the Angel and Lucifer is part of our collective memory and Humanity's propensity for this dualism, which may have originated before pre-frontal cortex, entrenched deep within the genetic coils of the medulla or even the brain-stem, beneath, commanding the frontal lobes to "Obey". The disintegration of this largely unconscious linkage leads to Art or Madness......perhaps.....even to Wisdom or Folly.
Life, through a very, very small window.......what one sees, is what one believes to 'be'........drop the walls, and thus...the windows in the walls.....and Life is something completely different, isn't it? More, on the Relativity of Perspective.....and NOT from the viewpoint of either the nutso Philadelphia Experiment OR Netflix's Stranger Things .......which I've never bothered to watch.....It's always time to haul the Moon Landing sets or video tapes of dead Presidents' funerals out of storage to make way for the lastest hullabaloo....Want to rent my 'hemming machine'?....I've heard that the miniskirt is "In" for next year..... Relax, Jen, the 'juice' hasn't even been turned 'on'....yet....you silly Gelfling....
