Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of
universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I
reach my hands and play with pebbles of
destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs
reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive
in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
The Vault
Take It Where You Find It
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light

Something Not Quite As Wonderful 【色んなテーブルクロス引き】
Forgive me, Gerard.
A click through to her YouTube page (which she theoretically shouldn’t be able to post to, YouTube being blocked in China and all), suggests to me that what we’re seeing here is the love child of Soft Power Lei Feng and Digi Riefenstahl.
Why specifically Lei Feng?… Take a look at the rest of her accomplishments. Is there nothing this bird cannot do? I’m waiting for her foot binding and female infanticide episodes.
I posit, she started out real enough, went a bit viral on Weibo, and is now kind of officially supported behind the scenes – like Encounter magazine back in the day.
I’m aware of the background behind the videos in a good deal of detail. That’s not what draws me. What draws me is the presentation in romantic detail of the true role of womanhood in guarding the hearth and home. A tradition that is fast fading in the West and in China as well.
As for you Monty, God will punish you.
I get where you are coming from. The Kinch Konjecture states that no civilisation can survive female emancipation (let alone suffrage) by more than n generations. The value of n is yet to be determined, but I get the feeling we’ll know soon enough.
Whilst there is very little PC nonsense tolerated in this part of the world (I’ve lived in Asia for a long time now), unchained hyper-narcissistic female hypergamy runs rampant now. Putting the genie back in the Qing snuff bottle is going to be a tough job.
It had the feeling of a Miyazaki animation. I almost expected some beautiful exotic creature materializing in the steam.
JWM
I’ve watched these videos for 6 months or so now. At first I assumed she and her BF made these but as I watched more I’ve become convinced that these are professionally produced and edited. There are many clone videos now but none with such an appealing star in my opinion. Beautiful and perfect in every way she epitomizes the ideal woman. She can and does do everything all the while dressed and coifed to perfection. She gardens, cooks, weaves, gathers and yet her hands remain smooth and her feet clean. She, her home, garden, and entire environment are what every woman wants and every man desires.
I may be a bit simple minded…but sometimes I just see beauty …for beauty.
Perfect…they are all perfect…

the presentation in romantic detail of the true role of womanhood in guarding the hearth and home
..A most ethereal gift. A respite, if you will.
I’m not going to bother looking at for the backstory. Were I in a different mood, I would find the perfection a bit much. I’ll just take it as it is. Thank you.
Quite beautiful and relaxing fantasy .
However China-wise, I’m more impressed with the adventures Naomi, the sexy cyborg, just a kid trying to fine her way and her place in the real world.
