Lay down these words
Before your mind like rocks.
placed solid, by hands
In choice of place, set
Before the body of the mind
in space and time:
Solidity of bark, leaf, or wall
riprap of things:
Cobble of milky way.
straying planets,
These poems, people,
lost ponies with
Dragging saddles –
and rocky sure-foot trails.
The worlds like an endless
four-dimensional
Game of Go.
ants and pebbles
In the thin loam, each rock a word
a creek-washed stone
Granite: ingrained
with torment of fire and weight
Crystal and sediment linked hot
all change, in thoughts,
As well as things.
Gary Snyder
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I feel my fate in what I cannot fear.
I learn by going where I have to go.
We think by feeling. What is there to know?
I hear my being dance from ear to ear.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Of those so close beside me, which are you?
God bless the Ground! I shall walk softly there,
And learn by going where I have to go.
Light takes the Tree; but who can tell us how?
The lowly worm climbs up a winding stair;
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Great Nature has another thing to do
To you and me; so take the lively air,
And, lovely, learn by going where to go.
This shaking keeps me steady. I should know.
What falls away is always. And is near.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I learn by going where I have to go.

The scientists are in terror
and the European mind stops
Wyndham Lewis chose blindness
rather than have his mind stop.
Night under wind mid garofani,
the petals are almost still
Mozart, Linnaeus, Sulmona,
When one’s friends hate each other
how can there be peace in the world?
Their asperities diverted me in my green time.
A blown husk that is finished
but the light sings eternal
a pale flare over marshes
where the salt hay whispers to tide’s change
Time, space,
neither life nor death is the answer.
And of man seeking good,
doing evil.
In meiner Heimat
where the dead walked
and the living were made of cardboard.
His soul stretched tight across the skies
That fade behind a city block,
Or trampled by insistent feet
At four and five and six o’clock;
And short square fingers stuffing pipes,
And evening newspapers, and eyes
Assured of certain certainties,
The conscience of a blackened street
Impatient to assume the world.
I am moved by fancies that are curled
Around these images, and cling:
The notion of some infinitely gentle
Infinitely suffering thing.
Wipe your hand across your mouth, and laugh;
The worlds revolve like ancient women
Gathering fuel in vacant lots.
— Eliot
I CELEBRATE myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
I loafe and invite my soul,
I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass.
My tongue, every atom of my blood, form’d from this soil, this
air,
Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their
parents the same,
I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin,
Hoping to cease not till death.
— Walt Whitman

When a communist uses the word “clearly” it is lying.
I said “it” because a communist mind is not based in humanity.
There is no cure for a communist mind as it is the end result of a self inflicted disease that turns one against all others.
ALL communist minds must be destroyed because they are a threat to everyone else.
Destroy it or risk being destroyed, there is no middle ground.
One take-away for me on these tragedies is that the police may be telling you stories, and likewise the media. I’m not saying false-flags (who would false-flag when congress is on recess??) . I’m saying the cops did not shoot the Garlic festival perp, but swore up and down that they had done. I could see they probably hadn’t, then the truth came out after the attention was onto the next one.
You are fully responsible for yourself (and your near neighbors in a crisis) and must fight your way out of these things. Bullets don’t seek like missiles. AK bullets fire all over the damn place; AR bullets are small caliber. Use whatever advantages you can.
If the perp leaves the scene, he may be headed for the next massacre site. Are you a victim, or are you misfeasant when he leaves your presence?
The El Paso guy did not espouse white supremacy directly. Going there is a chicken-shit thing for the media and politicians to do. When the mob comes for you, you’ll be a child-molester, a white supremacist (no matter what your race) and a Nazi.
If I’m in a situation like this, and I see the perp with an AK, I know he’s not a weapons genius. Same with an AR platform; he’s not that incredibly smart. If he comes at me with a shotgun, I know this is a smart criminal and I am fucked. Distance.
Took my grandkids to the trampoline park today and spent most of the time watching the door. We need to all be armed.
I read the “manifesto” and there’s no way this nobody 20 year old antisocial punk wrote that thing. It was clumsily written by a government dweeb. Witnesses said they saw multiple shooters. That will never be repeated by the MSM. This kid “wrote” he expected to be killed yet he’s taking extra precaution to wear head phones? Walked calmly towards the cops and is driven away. Nice. Here’s some astute observations immediately following El Paso incident…

Meet the dad of the kid implicated in the El Paso massacre. Crazy doesn’t roll very far away from the tree when it ripens. This guy reminds me of Marshall Applewhite who seduced his followers into drinking poison before they hopped on the passing comet.

“Who would false-flag when congress is on recess?” C’mon, Mr. Klahn, do you think Congress runs this country? As for what the media is telling you, pfft. Can you believe those people? And all we’re in a position to ” know” is what they tell us. Might as well trust your instincts.
The below, borrowed from a Z Blog commenter, is only four minutes. Does drawing attention to this compound the problem, I wonder? Do they want us dazed and confused or all on the same page? Or do they have no intentions at all and things just happen? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
