Night 8

 This afternoon I spent an hour picking up small bits of gomi at the Avenue of Ginkyo trees at the Aoyama dori point of Meiji Jingu Gaien, It took at least 2 hours to get there, and almost 2 hours to return, I forgot my smafo so I couldn't take any photos, I read a few pages in The Way the World Really Works. I tried to smile at look at peoples faces making eye contact sometimes, holding up a leaflet on protecting the trees. This was a nice warm day in the low 60s. I don't need to stuff my mind with more data...information without truth

Night 3

 Number 1 from the Arabic: My first counsel is this: Possess a pure, kind and radiant heart that thine may be a soverignty ancient, imperishable and everlasting. From The Hidden Words by Baha'u'llah So what does this say? Who does it speak to? How can one achieve purity? When I was a itty bitty baby.. I thought I wasn't pure enough,,,that was why the Virgin Mary never answered or looked down at me ... in real life. 30 acres next to Russel Field Airport in the snotty pine sap turpintine covered hills of North Georgia, I was in a fantasy world war before there was 1 or II hacking at the tree trunks with St. Thomas' staff, working through alot of turmoil in mom and dad's lives. Coping mostly. I said to  Jesus; " make me pure", under my breath as I prayed little war games with the autumn leaves, Oaks, birches, butternut, sugar maples, when their skin dried into rusts, reds, golds, turd browns, fell into my armies and squadrons most satisfying my desire to dest...

Night 4

 There is an atmosphere now created by the music of the Rudra    veena : Raag Madhuwanti I barely know anything to say about this music except I like it. I have taken to it because it expresses an ethereal calm. yet, the piece builds into an imaginary climax while continuing to occupy the mind with the repetative drone of the two strings. The young woman musician is very pleasing to glance at from time to time.  I  have set up at last, to draw using the old practice papers I have collected from years ago.

  Ive fallen down and rabbit hole. It so much easier to just put all your poker chips on Baha'i and let it ride IF one doesn't believe there's nothing else to lose. This is why, I imagine, the majority of the 12 disciples were vulnerable to the Christ 's socialism economy. And radical social message. There's always a thoughtful 1 or 2 libertarians, free thinkers, in any random? group of a dozen. But the downside is that they're also unconsciously ambitious. They're under control because the leader's impressive credentials, but after His passing the sheep skin is removed.  Baha'i community history is so familiar with this pattern. Islam  probably sees  the split as a act of God.   The rabbit hole I'm inside of is a popular explanation of modern civilization. called How the World Really Works by Vaclav Smil. I'm slowly taking the trouble to get under the surface of his story. I can't do this with every paragraph or even every page, but defi...
