Integrity

Little Feat Truck Stop Girl

I used to sing that song on the CB radio
to keep myself awake when no body was talking on a long deserted stretch of highway

"he was so young on a ten city run
in love with a truck stop girl
with her hair piled up high
and a look in her eye
that would turn any good man's blood to wine"
it was a terrible thing to see what remained of the rig poor danny was in
but most of all he had integrity" Lowell George

and this one too by somebody nobody ever heard of but me and jitterbug

"They say I was rebel till I reached the age of five
It was then that I got caught up in the struggle to survive" Peggy Wilson

All these user names
all me
floating on the dark sea within me
with the floatsom and jetsom of a life time of lived experience
everything I have ever heard or seen or felt all in here.
nothing is lost
only repressed.



Skepticism is the chastity of the intellect" George Santayana


That woman focused right in on Ram Das's sexuality. Conitnence my ass.

I am not a writer
I am not even a scribbler
I am a man on a mission
just me and my messiah complex
out to save the world
as I can not save myself

Hey, Jack, when I first signed on to arcanumcafe.com back in 1999 or 2000, I can't remember which, my signature for the first twenty-four hours read, "Saving the world, one person at a time." But then I thought better of that revelation and changed it.

Peace to you, brother,
Barry

Out to dance,
then fistfight whoever snuffs me.
One day at a time.

[stilltrucking]

No fistfights for me
by bones too brittle
And I can't dance but I wish I could. Maybe I should take lessons.
"What a world, what a world, who would have thought a good little girl like you..."

Thanks for stopping by Barry
I got that idea from Stephen Gaskin who started The Farm in Tennessee. He had that on his bus, We're out to save the world

I don't have much integrity any more.
I hold so many illogical inconsistent ideas in my head.

I been reading your art log
good stuff.

Yeah, he's an amazing dude. Would like to meet him someday maybe. Probably never happen though.

I have one of his books, Hey Beatnik: This is The Farm Book http://www.librarything.com/work/4535543 and my wife has one of his wife's, Spiritual Midwifery http://www.librarything.com/work/301880
It's one of the reasons I knew she was the one when I met her. In fact, she has an image from Ina May's book, a baby's head crowning from the center of a lotus bloom, tattooed on her left arm. It was her Mother's Day gift one year.

I also read A Walk Across America http://www.librarything.com/work/148033 in which the author spends some time staying at The Farm as one of the community, working and doing his part and such.

Stephen and The Farm, Monday Night Classes, the Caravan, have all long figured heavily in my personal mythology. Thanks for the reminder.

Peace,
Barry
