He Would Not Eat.
HE He was wavily earthbound in his solar regalia,
the wind combing with a smile the reckless fur.
Poised in any infinite immediate ––
blind grace: his guide – blind
grace: his truth –
(raped of blade) a LION
by beauty, by tooth,
sleek of youth.
The grasshoppers, drunken bards swaying
in their short forest below, must have drawled
on their fiddlelegs of
this Godly red arch –
WOULD this blazing rainbow,
a nomad – against the floating ocean:
born of asphalt
taught by nature.
He was a holy spark
encapsulated in air, soaring there,
riding insouciant (helpless!) on the fuse.
(I) knelt as though (I) were sneaking;
amid the smothering crowd of leaves, peeking,
with hand-blown glass baubles, seeking,
desperately, HUNGRILY, seeking, HE WAS
NOT –– under the burning bush; and (I)
proffered his beloved, pungent mush.
(I) remember,
gravely confused – yet
all the while less than he –
seeing his glass-vivid eyes
still mad with life’s kiss, and thinking:
“Life can be not more, nor less, than this.”
EAT.
He becomes a god in the earthshine
of my youth,
the wind combing, de profundis, the soil,
having grown fat within his silent, stone circle.
There is no greater gift than this –
he gives still, beneath his wooden cross.
organgrinder2 asked: I miss you!! How are you doing by the way? :]
I have missed you too!!! And since we are talking in the messenger at the moment, it would be quaint to say the same thing here. Hahaha :D

Myth #1 – Introverts don’t like to talk.
This is not true. Introverts just don’t talk unless they have something to say. They hate small talk. Get an introvert talking about something they are interested in, and…

My Perfect Agony. 3.10.11 / 258. [YUD-HETH]
Today, I saw the Light (a subtle flock of rays it was! — just beyond the contiguous road —) and felt my spirit smile. Within I heard repetitively: “I will think: ‘by this Light is where 1158/258/N. is — today, I shall see, and dream in mirth. Tomorrow, I shall walk to this Light, and thus be one with her, gently, orangely billowing through the canopy of drowsy trees.’ But I will not walk there, for I have duties; and, what is more, I shall be questioned for quaint behavior. And what rejoinder shall I give? Surely a lie.” Ergo, I have seen the Light, like so many others, and henceforth sprung these records.
It is with stalwart bravery that one is led to smirk at the future of the Seeker: solitude, silence, penitence, “loneliness” — it is cowardice to shun these and die awake; only a Seeker lives while dead.
When the genuine faculty of Love is restrained in the sentient being, then Samsara has again clipped this being of multifarious faculties — the lowest, being existence, and the highest, being universal consciousness: Bodhicitta.
MY PERFECT AGONY.
Japan is home to the world’s largest — and most painful — hornet. With a wingspan of up to three inches, the Asian giant hornet can look more like a tiny flying bird.
And if you’re a bird — or a bee — watch out.
The Asian giant hornet can inject “a deadly neurotoxin [which] actually can be fatal,” says science writer Amy Stewart. “In Asia, they call it a yak-killer because it has such a potent neurotoxin.”
One entomologist in Tokyo described feeling like a hot nail had been driven into his leg after he was stung. The hornet has been known to prey on mantises and even other hornet species.
Can’t sleep, Asian giant hornets are going to kill everything. (At NPR)
