it is possible even on the east coast

meditate, pray, make love, be prepared

From Wikipedia: ‘Mixmag published a joke article on 1 April 2018, suggesting that David Schwimmer, who played Ross in the TV sitcom Friends, was suing Weatherall [aka Ross From Friends].’ Gotta love joke articles! My fave: the April Fools one about Dr Who episode transmissions coming back to Earth

I’d go along with that. Unlike most of their catalogue, I’ve always found it kind of boring tbh. All the effects and pyrotechnics in the breakdown, but for me there’s no real payoff. To me the lyrics are kind of a camp blues pastiche. Partly nicked from Muddy Waters of course. All a bit cringe. 🤷‍♂️

The poet as Bodhisattva. Dear Reader by James Tate
Dear Reader
I am trying to pry open your casket
with this burning snowflake.

I'll give up my sleep for you.
This freezing sleet keeps coming down
and I can barely see.

If this trick works we can rub our hands
together, maybe

start a little fire
with our idenification papers.
I don't know but I keep working, working

half hating you,
half eaten by the moon.

The earliest form of marbling originated in Japan (and possibly China) around the 12th century. Known as Suminagashi or "floating ink"). As the trade routes evolved, the concept traveled to Central Asia, Persia (modern-day Iran). In Türkiye they call it ebru. IG: @thesoftasylum

People think the world needs a republic, and they think it needs a new social order, and a new religion, but it never occurs to anyone that what the world really needs, confused as it is by much learning, is a #Socrates. - #Kierkegaard, 'The Sickness Unto Death'

I can get behind the main thrust of this discussion. There’s definitely something to be said for psychedelics opening up the question of the sacred, whether that be couched in religious terms or secular (e.g. ‘that which must be preserved’).

Note that the word 'mute' is regarded by linguists as an onomatopoeic formation referring not to silence but to a certain fundamental opacity of human being, which likes to show the truth by allowing to be seen hiding. Anne Carson, Nox
