Sigh. I know know.
True, dat. It might be the interactiveness of people. I recently attended a "bird language intensive" and was reminded of how much there is to learn just about my back yard. This is zen druidry, as I see it. Sitting and listening, looking. Yeah, the soul...the idea of reincarnation. It seems as simple as "where does the energy go?" I don't think much about souls or spirits, but I do like one concept: "deity" refers to "any force of nature I cannot afford not to respect." No worship, no anthropomorphizing. I love the idea of physics, chemistry and biology as a trinity! I'll be toying with that in the back of my mind. For a few years I've worn a little brass compass on a chain, as a symbol of the interface with nature, the idea that the Earth's electromagnetic field is there to guide us. Connection. I kinda wish I could sense it without the technology, but then again technology is the hallmark of our species, so it kinda fits. I once met an exotic dancer who had the equations for gravity tattooed on one bicep and a free body diagram on the other. I really liked that idea...she was getting a master's in physics.
The harm he's most likely to do that can't be fixed is environmental. Opening national parks for development, that sort of thing. He'll be fought very aggressively at every step over that by people who have beennin the game much longer than he has.
Hah! I usually call it the "pell-like object" in a sort of vague nod to Preserved Killick. But tonight was the actual class, so I was...interacting with humans. With swords.
Ignore one poster and my front page goes down to 12 threads.
So... do you really say "true dat" in conversation?Hahahaha...
Yes, that would be zen druidry I'd think. Being very present in the moment and observing what is around you. It is funny that you should bring up energy. One of the central tenets of my "faith" is that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. I also believe that strong emotion can effect that energy.
I'm not sure about that definition of deity. Not to pick nits, but an ocean wave is definitely something worthy of respect but I don't compartmentalize. It is but a part of the whole - one element in the system. I don't know if I am being clear - it is late and I was up late last night.![]()
One of my gifts is almost instinctively knowing north. Sometimes I need clues by being outside but it is not difficult for me to figure out the compass points. Which is a damn good thing because I have to double check my right and my left. I kid you not. Ha.
While I'm not a tattoo person, I'll give her credit for picking unusual ones.
Yes. Through a myriad of bad policy decisions. Deregulation. Decimation of women's healthcare. Paris climate agreement. Etc. In all honesty I don't think we have as much time with the environment as people think. I think I am glad that I only have about 40 years left genetically speaking. It's not going to get better before it gets worse.
I think I like the idea of you interacting with humans with swords more than I like the idea of me interacting with humans with swords. I think I'll stick with the pen for now.![]()
I don't think that's quite the same level of interactiveness we were speaking of. Just sayin'. Hahaha....![]()
Loading your own ammo is painstakingly detailed work.
I am not painstakingly detailed.
yeah, yeah. you're a pain in the ass. i got it, dude.
