After scanning its face again and again,
I began to scale it, picking my holds
With intense caution. About half-way
To the top, I was suddenly brought to
A dead stop, with arms outspread
Clinging close to the face of the rock
Unable to move hand or foot
Either up or down. My doom
Appeared fixed. I MUST fall.
There would be a moment of
Bewilderment, and then,
A lifeless rumble down the cliff
To the glacier below.
My mind seemed to fill with a
Stifling smoke. This terrible eclipse
Lasted only a moment, when life blazed
Forth again with preternatural clearness.
I seemed suddenly to become possessed
Of a new sense. My trembling muscles
Became firm again, every rift and flaw in
The rock was seen as through a microscope,
My limbs moved with a positiveness and precision
With which I seemed to have
Nothing at all to do.
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.

I avoid U-toob because of the obnoxious ads. I’ll go out and buy that electrolyte powder just because they sponsored this.

The guy staffing the “Helpless Desk” should be canceled for wearing a rayciss T-shirt: the cat on the front is white, has blue eyes, and is wearing a white supremacist Texas Ranger-type cowboy hat.
I stop the ads by dragging the cursor to the end of the video. Then let the video reload. All the yellow dots along the bottom disappear.
JP is a very smart guy, electrolytes or not. He has a good handle on what’s really happening, & why. Share his videos far & wide, & yell your head off if/when YT & other online monopolies try to silence him.
