Fire to Earth – my morning thoughts:
A perfect bridge hand is seven no-trump.
4-11-25 – on a pink moon. Read Michael Murphy’s book “Golf in the Kingdom”. Can we expose the ones at the top through radical honesty and transparency. Watch Mr. Trump play a round of golf – calling each shot and noticing his walk verses his talk. Wealthy used to evolve their wealth into philanthropy – giving while alive rather than waiting till I croak. Frogs are the best croakers. My father was “Froggy Pinson” and he loved to sing.
The rule of gold and the ones who have “inside information” like politicians. Scrooge McDuck, Smaug or other symbols of dragon. The fire is the east – evolving into generosity. This is the love of humankind. Circulation is deer medicine. Freely give and freely receive. Does Mr Trump listen? Tell the truth without blame or judgment is the way of the warrior. Only through surrender am I saved from suffering. AA taught me it is only through surrender that I find the portal to the other side – the mystery. That is my atrophied side – my left. Perfect balance is both and. Right and left – speaking and listening.
Workshops begin with creating a talking stick. Then to break up and choose a partner that you didn’t come with.
Drums, rattles and flutes. Brent Haines, JP Gomez and others that make 4,000-$10,000 flutes.
You can go to the ocean with a bucket or a teaspoon, and the ocean doesn’t care.
My father’s god was wealth and he achieved that goal, and loved Lawrence Welk. He was real and authentic along with his brother Don. They were true till the end – I was present at Dons funeral – he was my angel who saw as Elieen Caddy did – see the spark of light in all you meet and focus on only that – love the unlovable. The sun shines on darkness – our dark sides are our dark bundles. Light bundles and dark bundles. What is your medicine?
philanthropy. Those words mean the love of humankind. The very ones who “outsourced” our labor are attempting to get back into the henhouse. Read “The fantastic Mr. Fox” by Rold Dahl. Bogus, Bunce and Bean.
“Don’t allow a hungry dog to guard the smokehouse”.
Where are the philanthropists? Berkshire Hathaway – The rich should be taxed – Robin Hood robbed from the rich and gave to the poor – he had learned the art of archery. Wealthy are the slowest to pay – the poor are the most generous. My Grandma Pratt loved to watch wrestling, and believed it was real. My father would have “coldcocked” Mr. Trump – you find the biggest bully and hit them first. The current situation is another reflection of “The Wizard of OZ”.
The golden rule is the Christian way – Jesus Christ Superstar and “I don’t know how to love him”.
My reply: If you did know, how? How would you love me. Or the one in the mirror as per Louis Carroll – “Through the Looking Glass” Loving is tending to what we hold as sacred. When I start with me and non-attachment.
Honor thy father and mother – two aspects of a whole. The divide and conquer is “the art of war”. Listen closely to language – and how much combat is woven into the English language – everything needs to be put in a box. In indigenous language or “speaking in tongues” need no education. The “rapture” is the shapeshifter – as we have Bigfoot guarding our sacred Heartspace – Give until it feels good, not till it hurts.
Aunt Gussy, Aunt Eula – John Pratt of the N&W railroad. He had a cow named Betsy. He raised bees, chickens, hogs and angus beef where we treat life with kindness. The song “try a little kindness
There are two ways around a circle – the left and the right – and they bothcome out at the same place. I go both ways, and my lefting practice is slowly trusting myself to remain steadfastly true to what I know rather than what I believe – and when these two are aligned, magic happens.
“I wonder what the king is doing tonight”
In forgiving myself I am forgiven and by forgiving you, I am forgiven. Both and
