Wisdom 12/31/19

This is not a test 

It's training

Pick up heavy weights

And get strong

Deal with a nasty pain in the ass

Do it with gratitude

Good humor and diligence

Gain resilience and

Wisdom

Do it every day and

Become one

Tough motherfucker

(That's one word)

day 20,279

Training

This is a test

Pass or fail

And there will be another

                                                   Test
                                        It's all staged for my

Training

So when the Reaper

Shows up

I will be able to laugh

In his face

As he releases me from

My training

day 29,278

Meat

Riding around

In a corpse

"I"often think of it as "my" leg

But it might as well be a wooden peg

It does what "I" tell it for just a while

"I" hope to give it up with style

"My" head is full of petty shit

"I" hardly ever use "my" wit

Soon "I'll" know if there's  more than meat

"My" trip through time will be complete

Riding around 

In a corpse 

day 29,277

Start again

No place to stand

No safe harbor in this

Wind storm of time

Getting     ----    Better

Getting

Worse

Every instant is a

New chance

Start again 

day 29,276

Get through

This is not a pain in the ass 

Or something to

"Get through "

In this one instant 

I can choose to practice my

Only purpose

The project that defines 

All projects

The practice of creating

Joyful gratitude

No matter what kind of

Shit storm is coming down

day 29,274

Get a dog

Like many things in life 

This higher being

Came to live with us by

Total chance

And the first thing we did

Was to get him mutilated

By our Vet

The plastic funnel around 

His neck

Had no impact on his appetite

Or his joyful greetings

That was over 10 years ago

Every day around 4 AM

He quietly whines in my ear

 About his hunger

He has been a continuous source of

Joy and good humor

Get a dog

day 29,272 

Xmas 2019

Entropy

Entropy

Just rotting away

All that's left is decay

It all went so fast

I thought it would last

So many bright days

Now lost in a haze

Sounds sad but it's not

I still don't know squat

There's so much to learn

Before I adjourn

I will study with gratitude

And a kind loving attitude

Entropy

Day 29,271

Training

Sit still

Keep quiet             Finish your food

Change your underwear

Stop crying             Make your bed 

Don't lie to me

Look at me when I'm talking to you

Put your things away

For Christ sake sit still

My training began

80 years later he says

Coming to earth

Was the best thing that ever happened

To me

What I know

Here's what I know

 I don't know what I don't know 

 And I never will 

But

  I know a hell of a lot more 

 Then I used to know 

 And not as much as 

 As I'm going to now 

 If I keep living

One thing

I think I know is 

 I can train myself to keep 

 My head out of my ass 

More and more often

All is well

The longest nite of 2019

On time #2

Noon

December 20 2019

Oneonrta New York

This time space coordinate only happens once

In the infinity of the universal unfolding

And if you agree to be there, then

Fucking be there

20 minutes early if you’re coming short distance

And a day early if you’re coming from Hong Kong

On time is a mindset

Bet # 1

Never

Make a bet that you can’t afford to lose 

Examples 

Russian roulette

The rent money

Every once in a while the unlikely happens 

Take risks try new things

That’s where the spice of life resides

But stay away from projects that can kill you 

Or put you in a homeless shelter
