Bandit Notions

[creativesoul]

My friend dresses up in costumes- she has very large breasts- her costumes over the years have always made her twins front row and center- I wonder how many more costumes she will wear like this- and if her husband gives her any loving as a result- my understanding is that they have a very " tit for tat" relationship- in real life she is a nurse- she thrives on these various roles that she plays in real life- my parents were both actors- as was my grandfather - roles in our universe are about really being that person- a unique understanding of who that person is or was- is a big part of the equation- so I really believe that I can be whoever I want- with all due respect- that does not mean that I can be rude and presumptuous about things- it implies that there are driving forces within that evoke and generate Inate personal responses-
The tribe of " broken people " seeking healing- including me - were here last night- over a hundred people came- I am aching from days of preparing for the bear ceremony and now the bears have gone to sleep for the winter- it is time to dream- to drink honey and eat berries in their honor-
I was fortunate- the bears came to me and worked on me- I might not be here if they had not- the evil witch has been sending bad things- and I know for fact that she will have to live with the energy she put out- all that damage she caused- it is not pretty- but the real beauty is that we are quite small- the world is beautiful- if we visualize a place where all things are considered- and the value of each person respected- there are some that test this philosphy- aloha

Hey you turned the page! - brand new clean space - what say we mark it all up? Hell yeah, Mongolia! I hear what ya saying 'bout the bears but I don't mess with them. There is never anything small even about a small bear. Real or in their mythos mode - even a small bear can lay a body open to the bone with a single swipe of those claws - I want as much distance as possible between me and any bear. I respect all that bear healing stuff but ... not my cup of fur - if I even suspect a bear to be in my vicinity I boogie - I boogie hard I boogie fast & I boogie long - even if I have a knife with me - vamanos! - gone! - I do the same thing with visions too - I used to go after visions but not anymore - these days If I know there is a vision coming and that it's looking for me I run - RUN FORREST! RUN! ... I had a vision once where this bear came up to me and I thought hey this is cool- the bear licked my face with that raspy ol' tongue of his and said, "You better run, boy" - and I did - right down that hill across the stream and into the trees and over the road - almost got hit by a passing semi - I bet that driver was SO pissed - so yeah you are welcome to all the bears ya need & more power to ya - I'll know where to come if I need healing -

All this about bears above got me thinking about movies and two steps from reality.

Legends of The Fall, Two Stab speaking of Christians death "He had a good death"
Bart The Bear gave him a hug.

unrelated factoid:
Men and bears we got a lot in common, we both have a pendular penis for one thing. Not many mammals have one of those. I used to feel special about that.

Yeah he cracked me up too, Dino - a man's got to be able to drink pure Apache juice to jump on any thread in this place

well now- i think bears are sweet- and ready for a long nap- and that honey- is good stuff- i suspect there is some bear in all of us- the mother in me is a bear- my children remember that- but the bear clans and the bear ceremonies- have a human side as well-like this morning= the party after the party- the clean up crew-
i like that some realy different people- maybe i would not have noticed- they seem like lil spiritual wallflowers- and they want to come to this farm- to see the ceremony- whoa nellie how did i get here?
so hi ho silver- there are some really cool farmer gals that are going to let me saddle up and ride! havent been on a horse since - after hurricane iniki- i went to australia and got blisters on my ass- my huband gordon was alive then - and he was laying on the floor all busted up like me- and said'would you get me a glass of water?" he said 'ya know my ass hurts as much as yours does-' that is true love isnt it?
in the meantime- my little bleeding heart just laughs and crys like the saved in a chruch on sunday- had to have a talk with someone
had to tell them-
that the bear and i are moving on slow-

my vagina is proud of your penises

[the mingo]

after the healing, they like to 'hang around'= the people want spirits- the hot the cold- all of that mist and fire- they seem rejuvenated- the time seems to pass rather quickly- a time seems to flirt with another time- back when we lived in a more tribal way- where community meant something- these days we gather for ceremony- but do no speak much in between-i am pushing on my four walls like a monkey- i want to run outside and feel the air once again- which means walking past my room mate on the couch- and my friend in the broken easy boy chair- i finally put a rug in the living room that isnt cheesy- and the children were all playing on it last night- at some point it seems like last call- everybody go the fuck home- for real- some people just are wired for power play- others seek light and peace-
some seek healing- others seek to have all their needs met at this ceremony-and share far too much for those of us with the capacity to be honest and the brains to determine and discern what game they are playing this week in attention seeking behavior-i see a sale on isle 4-wet ones for those stinky bitches.they do not really give a fuck about anyone but themselves- quit pretending you like me- if you think i am numb and cannot feel you and your wicked shit- think again-the 'one who nods and rolls down the hill' is thinking she is a teacher- i have to laugh

"a time seems to flirt with another time" ... it's this time of year what does that - east coast - west coast - and all in between - the guy in the pic has shadow & light on his face - the shadow defines the shape of the light - makes a pair of bird wings on either side of his nose and the beak of the bird comes to a point between his eyebrows just above the frame of his glasses - as if it had been etched there - preachers teachers the crowd on the bleachers - you got a houseful - as you say everyone is wired for the power play - the turn at bat, the throw of the dice, the making of a move -
hey - brush your teeth
turn out the light
laugh a little
close your eyes
go to sleep

sweet- i did- and will- dog and i - in hibernation

[the mingo]

Still have some sleep clinging to me like seaweed on a piece of driftwood at shore or mist rising from a low place in the land - I always wondered about sleep - I don't think any one is ever totally unconscious or totally conscious - or that it actually matters at any given time
seems to me that life is not so much transitory as it is a transition - well, ya have to keep yourself busy in any case

[creativesoul]

Some never wake up- at least you feel the difference- nothing like a walk in sand a long the water

. . . looks like some places here along Lake Ontario - it shouldn't be called a lake - none of the Great Lakes should - they are inland freshwater seas - ocean-going vessels ply their waters coming down the St. Lawrence from the Atlantic - dark early now - my head ain't used to it yet -

Thx for the pic

[creativesoul]

you are right- it is all water- and water - is powerful- it changes everything- makes a person clean and whole- and worth all the energy getting there
