Topic: Story sake

[runningstream]

entertaining the idea of stories

the positive the negative kind

experiences

two steps removed kind



one takes a backward seat and employs the

given narratives expenditure


as the related articulae


this would seem to a glance


the part is to cover the other part

in its dramatic overthrow



i want to be able to tell a story

a good
 
one


without the glamourizing tinsel related drama encountering

a reason to stand back from it in fear of being

narrated the glamour ponies own eye


if you see the point


its about sensationalising the ability to present

rational and confident examples shining tinsel

to the melodramatic emanationic


squeakie bubbles




a crystal shop

in a small country town


characters some out of the woodwork


how else would you expect that the crystals get to amplify the oncoming scene


i sit at a coffee shop and eat some pasta


wearing the dark zippered front warm garment i bought from across the road



the people are warm and open minded


the young girl is pregnant


my car is parked out the front and i admire what i perceive the great lines


the joy of the winding road and most beautifu ferny cold climate forest


which usually holds its color when all else has turned green



i flew away in that place

where the climbing tower stands on that hill


and those warm open minded people came and went back

no doubt to open and closed type fires

holding local timber


and their co operatives


the butterflies on those dis used train lines

how everybody did enjoy the warmth


the story in my mind felt different there too

large trees

[runningstream]

ears thrum drumming

pressure something entered through an emotion

at least it was the emotion that could be sensed


in the chest like

somebody was there

yet nobody was there


 a river bridge


moluscs and clouds in the distance


stormy chest


in the distance the horizons color


too far away


for this day



just riding the emotion



the blue water of the river comes and goes

Simon, can you tell us a little about your world?
Are you in a relationship - kids etc? How is work - do you drive?
Forgive me if you have already told this, but so much has been on my mind, I haven't been able to retain much of later.

[runningstream]

and thank you for asking

i was in a relationship three days ago

i am not today


it has lasted for a year and a half or so

her name is Sophia


i am feeling my mother a lot since the death thread also the last few days


and the straw that broke the camels back in the relationship was a small matter


i drive a tilt tray heavy rigid truck at the moment

work has become very slow right now


i was just outside


i have an old caravan i was given which i am fixing up

slowly


i live on about 1080 acres i am led to believe


and i do not have a house i have a tin shed which i have lined with plasterboard


built veranda  fences


etc etc


and put a sink in


i have solar power

and generators to run things



i drive a long way to work and back

and with a relationship time is very poor



what i found again and again is that self awareness is very hard to find in a partner


as i am very spiritual i suppose you could say


and even the  most spiritual people i have met can t seem to even hear what i am

saying or believe it


we dreamed together most mornings and it intensified together



we met on my mothers birthday


spirit arranged the whole thing and i dreamed of her first

before meeting


the street sign even said her name on the way to meet her


amongst other things


i understand you have things on your mind its ok



i will play regardless


also maybe share a little



your wifes dizziness was something i felt a connection to also


because i experienced it myself for "no" reason last week



at the moment at work there is a thing where every bodies stomachs are being

affected in some way


people are entering hospital nearly all of them with some kind of stomach problems


similar yet variations


i am concerned that the brother who has passed may have had injuries to this

effect


and that the pattern is also being generated in that environment through others



another thing


i myself landed at that place with stomach problems on entry yet "before "



just another one of those things i have to get used to


but i will try and find a convenient moment to find out if the brothers car accident


caused him any trouble in that department

[Nichi]

1080 acres! Whew that's a big place. Mostly wooded?

[runningstream]

Yes Nichi

much wood


i learned this week which trees might be suitable for veranda posts


timber varies a lot in this country


i have bought some timber today again actually

for another job


so i will be playing with timber later on today


of course trees are great growing everywhere also


i have planted quite a few different varieties of fruit trees also


you can buy them from the markets from the local growers



my favourite fruit recently is by far one called mango steen



i am also trying to grow dragon fruits also


currently stocking

chillis


passion fruits


and lemons


the fruit trees are a fair way even years off mostly


tomatoes are growing wildly i found yesterday

and i have a few things getting ready to be planted in the ground from pots grown

from seed


the plan has always been to grow food every where


somthing makes me feel very rich when i can wake up and eat breakfast

or make a smoothie from the garden



i was just thinking at "subway"


in the quest for world domination sub servient to the ideals used as entrapment


to junk food and corporations



when it becomes popular to eat healthy


then this can be used to market


"against" the unhealthy


etc , the cool tool


being the hook of   ewwww    don t eat that yucky stuff when you can have

......................... and be cool !


it will reverse the consumer driven model


i think subway is a good example of this


and the staff they employ seem  to be quite young and funky


as with many juice bars and the like


there is a real crowd goes with it


people come out of the woodwork and form union-ous movement s

[runningstream]

i am not sure making consumers need more of any particular thing

would make farming any more fairly productive

or any more fair in the beginning


however !

part of the plan involved that through the integration of a healthy diet into a larger

proportion of people


awareness would develop beyond its current level 


and from that point an appreciation could also come into awareness


for greater concepts of unification within awareness


idealic?

only in so far as

getting it running



and i am not the person for that job 



except in that i  am a fire starter

[Firestarter]

runningstream an interesting synchronicity, i am in the middle of watching a game show where a question was whicch fast food chain has the most stores...the answer was subway. lol then i came here and read this. interesting! :-)

[Nichi]

except in that i  am a fire starter

I believe this!

[runningstream]

yes work

more work

keeps the mind actively pursuing focus

i lit a fire

its burning now

it contains somebodies possessions they have left lying in a small out shed



i lit a fire

along a fence line


there was a cross behind there

pressed into the ground


i pushed the mower around



the fire along the fence line burnt strong and up



i fetched water in drinking bottles from the bore

to put it out along its edge

so it did 'nt spread


i thought a bout a man today



he was rare


i asked what was his purpose



it was not a nice tale


the way he spoke




then i wonder what is my tale



i used to dream



today i am tired


yet i worked hard



and then lit a fire



i am passing wind into the fire



i know this is how fires work




i know this line from a song that is my song today



"                     "


i barely even remember the words


many jobs coming to fruition


i remember these words


now


" its always darkest before the dawn"



burning orange sunset



the fire is aglow still


i will go check it again and then come back




i'm back again


 

[runningstream]

wondering of old peoples



i see in my future great love




wondering of old peoples



those who hear there inner voice grow


maddened or maddening

or mad




of find a way




thinking about old people



thinking about love




comfort


i feel




roses


air  conditioners


warm baths




thinking about caring for somebody

and being cared for




thinking about old people



grandfather was 700 miles from Darwin with a new lady friend sleeping it out


thousands of miles from home with three dogs staying rough



no doubt getting away from chopping a ton of wood a day



what is comfort then



thinking about grey nomads



working all their lives to buy a caravan and hit the road

in search of seeing

and living



thinking about you


thinking about seeing familiar faces



thinking about dreaming

dreaming about thinking

[runningstream]

what will make of this


fine


leaking on the subway

life train



crossing paths


sad face



say hey




can you tell me whats the pain ?


i can t be sure its the right question


yet there seems some relief



yet i wonder about focus again


and direction


like the leaf



because the wind is making the branch move


cause it want s to sing along


yet the branch song


could possibly waiting for a whisper



cause it saw something


it knew yet forgot


the note coming going


it completed something



i layed on the grass and found some shade


where had i gone


in the shade




the ants just left me alone


and my head pressed against the concrete


i felt affinity

and wanted to share



and liberate something but i could see it was not right



i saw my face if i took the mask on

the weight

the cross



the stone in place


where would the sun go


if i decided to cross that sky


laying in the shade

the sun may not come back



so i walk away

[Nichi]

so i walk away

And write, and write, and write. You must.

[runningstream]

i suppose we could try sweep up

what was blown away by the talons of the impressive eagle



systems as they go


sun central


miscellaneous stars orbiting


popping in and out


time passing coming going


around the ring from the storms wind

time as it were


non central to one solar system

in its own system


as it is the appearance and reappearance

of stars relative to their present orbit

and appearance



its not science we want


yet observing the patterns shhh



when we pass across a rift


when they say watch the lamb


when religions come religions go



when ahuasca ceremonies bring about the lessons

taught to those who ask

i never asked


when the hand is taken of one

who sees

the eye lighting the nights sky


and day


when the orbits


are standing through out time s


uncertainty



when every pennies worth of crap makes sense in some sense

[runningstream]

please excuse the out burst solar flares


the last line
