Happy Labor Day Weekend everyone! Would you like to take a little trip? We're flying down to Rio tonight ............



YouTube - Mike Nesmith - Rio

[Gerania]

Yes still, still feeding the fire...
for it is hearth and home, a place for all of us to gather
quiet and mike... silver, mtn, topaz, rare...all
something to count on


YouTube - Michael Nesmith - Harmony Constant

The concept of love has ultimate might
The power of peace and truth
And the Harmony Constant in all of these things
Is the thought of the future with you

[MadAtMcCain]

( Smile at the thread family piling in for a trip to Rio!
With such music, such joy... strength is gain... can speak
briefly and I thank you all... ::hugs everyone tight :

--------------

Listens to Jim's Sermon... then listened to every man's
sermon who loved me. That was one of the conditions...
for the speaker to speak brutal truth you must love the
one receiving the sermon. The one who is receiving
must remain silent. Others drum and support the
speakers.

I asked for the sermons today because I am stronger
but not to strong physically yet... a week from now
might be too late... too violent or hard to overcome
safely...

Jim struck me the hardest... Jim's love is the purest...
the simple deeper truth behind each connecting
thought... in ache I hollared... it's time.

knowledge is complete... brings forth every song given
me in love, goes thru every tune... my only protection
and shield for what lays ahead....

MEAT BEAT MANIFESTO - Edge Of No Control

YouTube - MEAT BEAT MANIFESTO - Edge Of No Control


certain rituals completed... Elder speaks...

innocence gone, no illusions, no theory for comfort...
no false prophets, keys of the earthly kingdom... hate and
revenge or love and forgive... choose!!!

A wild fever washed thru me then... an anger hot..
takes a deep breath... gathers strength...throws head back...
screams... DRAW down the mutherfu curtain!!!!!

Drums rend the aire... Males answer the cry in
thunderous song and chants... a swoosing sound surrounds
the pit's rim... I look up... hungry flames
circle... licking the night skies above me...

muffled sound of metal and dirt... a double-edged knife
is thrown at my feet! rushing to grab it, grips of steel...
take me roughly to the dirt... unseen... a filthy hand
covers my eyes...

my arm is unceremoniously strapped across my naked
body... signifiying hate will always handicap it's holder...

I know what's to come... control my impulse to fight...

am turned over... one leg is bent and roped tight against
my thigh... cloth is securely wrapped, then taped to
blind one eye.

I am the symbol of hatred now...
face to face with it... defiant I taunt...

grunts and blows are landed... a vicious beatdown... provoking...
a call to hatreds' companion... rage waits in
shadows... ready to possess me...

take a deep sniff... stinging blow up both nostrils
throwing head back... consciousness flings farther
still... scenes flash like blinking lights going in and
out of tunnels on a high speed train....

Meat Beat Manifesto - Helter Skelter

YouTube - Meat Beat Manifesto - Helter Skelter 97


thundering heart beat races side by side with my
own inner rhythm...

taste of honey on tongue... warmth spreads like a
double bass in a smoky back-room joint... exhales a
balmy caribbean breath...

Animal Alpha – Billy Bob Jackson - (anime Invasion)

YouTube - Invasion

exposed skin claws a slow savage tear through bloody sinew
strung with dripping jungle vines...

... feels mane pulled by rough brush shrubs... rippling
power across shoulders... whiskers open to seeds
clinging precariously to grey shadowed grasses...

lift leg ... eyes peer north past the immediate thicket...
spray... back into it... back paw scratching earth.. move
forward... slow... smell blood and meat moving close by

belly touches cool grasses of night ... flicker of tail... stretches
paw through underbrush... eagerness stiffens all movement...

tail stops mid-flick... tension drips fat and bloat like
crude oil... ears flatten... left paw poised... eyes penetrate thru
flesh to a fast beating heart...
mouth waters tasting it already...

revenge makes prey sweet meat now... pleasure anticipating...

lowers still... mouth waters foam... teeth expose...
muscle tense in thighs and calves... breath thru nostril
slows... a fern bends in the night... claws already
protrude from paws...

tail hesitantly flicks... Thick Black Mane bristles ...
a wild explosive leap of muscle, weight, crashing low
branches... teeth around neck... racing heartbeat
against tongue... jaws slowly crush... wild thrashing...

... salty blood filling my mouth... revenge... rev...
eyes start to glaze over... the deer shimmers...

its a human neck in my mouth... a bloody cough
screams freedom... the neck belongs to me..

Michael Scofield - Requiem for a Dream

YouTube - wentworth miller - michael scofield - requiem for a dream

my god !!

... slam back into myself... muddied... shaken....
drops knife... not bounded... how did I get free...

sink to knees... agonized cry to heaven... falls forward...
sickened at what I could become... a beast... and
what a beast such hate would create in me!!!...

bleeding... black and blue bruises.. ... see thru swollen
lids... a rising moon... millions of stars... were they
always there...

Vladimir Vysotsky - Ballad of Love

YouTube - Ballad of Love, Vysotski / Баллада о любви, Высоцкий (subs by V. Chetin)


Lyrics:

...Only there's a feeling that a ship
Has to remain long afloat,
Prior to cognizing that 'I love'
Equals to 'I breathe' or else 'I live'.

There'll be a lot of pilgrimage and travels:
The Realm of Love is an extensive realm.
From chivalry of hers for the ordeals
Ever more will she expect,
Demanding distances and separation,
Depriving of repose, of sleep and rest...

But there's no way to lead the guys astray
Because, by now, they will agree to pay
Whatever price. They'd even risk their lives
In order to keep whole and to retain
A fairy unnoticeable thread,
Extending to the hearts of the beloved.

Fresh breeze makes the chosen feel drunk,
Knocks off feet and raises from the dead,
Insomuch as if you haven't loved,
Then you haven't lived, nor have you breathed.

But plenty who are breathless out of love
Will never hear, call them as you will.
Their count is kept by hearsay and twaddle.
On blood, however, this count is often mixed.
Be candles put to decorate the head bed
Of victims of unprecedented feeling...

Blend their voices, always keeping time.
Roam their souls perennially in flowers.
Breathe they eternity together in one breath.
Come they across each other with a sigh,
On fragile bridges and on brittle gangways,
At narrow crossroads of space and time.

For lovers, the fields will I lay -
Sing they in a sleep and in a wake.
I breathe therefore I love,
I love therefore I live.

[Topaz_Flowers]

Mr. MMC, that was an intense emotional journey! I'm grateful for your sharing your experience and making your way back to Love!!!

Now Mr. MMC, you just stay right where you are and do exactly what they tell you to do. But I want to say the narrative tradition of teaching from experience is something our culture as a whole could really benefit from.

You're right in that if one person makes a mistake, why should a whole family go down the drain, because no one wants to tell anyone what happened? The many lessons I've learned are incredible. That's why I love this thread and this thread family.

After that hard-won victory, a vacation is in order! <gets out party hat> A victory for one is a victory for all!

The spectacular thing about this place is that you can put on some music and have loads of fun!

Mr. Quiet Walker, Rio sounds grand to me! <slipping on my dancing shoes... runs to the long line forming to dance> lol (I like those pretty dots of yours, they make me think of Christmas lights strung around tree limbs.)

Can you just see it now? ... hearing waves crash... and there we all are right there on the cliff. You all will have to play the song to see us! lol

I volunteer to be the one with the hat made to look like a basket of fruit! I never heard this song before, it's so beautifully sentimental

Mr. JL, When Will I See You Again is a lovely song!
