Envisioning (#1) They’re bloviating spirits on the midnight saucer show. There goes my cure, I won’t sleep for chuckling; worse, I’ll want to call. I’ll want to ask them what a sphere looks like edge-on, the way we see. (a hint: edge-on is the only way we ever see them – get it now?) They wouldn’t know or care, but oh they can talk for hours about convergence, blather on astonished by what crop circles mean. This place we think we are is only part of where we live, and only part of whether. Whole dimensions we don’t have make scenery there, and there is here, we’re merely blind to it. Spirit Boy is waxing bright, the callers can’t get enough; they’re going to sell a lot of wind-up flashlight radios tonight. Oh, and spirit guides now. Why do they always pick bold carnivores to have chosen them? There are lots of animals, what if that guardian were a creature you might kick before you saw it or, too humiliating to contemplate, step over without noticing at all? I know one such; others know me, and yes, the carnivores, some extinct. None is what it seems, each both more and less, but what they really are won’t move product. I wish I could take Spirit Boy where I go; force him to deal with it one time. I wonder if he’d ever talk again. I wonder if he could. I know a man who thinks he has a channel; it has him. While he drones of secret knowledge and the power of hidden wonders, I don’t bother to describe it as it hovers, sucking. Time for sleep; the domes are ready, earth quiescent now, nothing left but the dance and the dawn, while the night talkers reach some cliff-hanger resolution, hawk gold coins and invention kits, go home to their suburban bungalows, sated.

Me and Mr. Beam are gathering more ammo tonight too....lousy cold keeping me awake and vice-versa, with those goobers on for grins in the background, just loud enough to drown out my interior hullabaloo.... ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

This place we think we are is only part of where we live, and only part of whether. Whole dimensions we don’t have make scenery there, and there is here, we’re merely blind to it. I regret your sleepless night and hope you feel better soon. I've read this several times... and find it more fascinating with every read... I grin, I nod... but most of all... I follow your wonder. *S* So... if you ever get those answers... please share them? *S* Excellent write!!! |

Ed Amazing what the night can bring, or day for that matter....maybe I sleep too much. I really enjoyed this wonderful trip into your last night. |
