"So you see, before I actually begin to show you examples of BOP in action, I want to caution you that there are no magic bullets, no way of sparing you the necessity of thinking."

~ Don Worden

(from the manual of Worden Brothers/TC2000 charting program, clarifying the use of one of his indicators "BOP -Balance of Power", an indicator used in detecting accumulation/distribution in trading stocks.)

I guess one could interpret that even if life had a "manual" of instructions, which it would be given to each one of us upon our respective births --for later reading of course, it still does not change the simple fact that to succeed, we do need to... well... "think".

"Work, as if you did not need the money,
Dance, as if no one was watching,
Love, as if you have never been hurt."

~ I know I read it somewhere and who said it... but I have forgotten where, or who, but there it is...

and...

On Youth...

"Youth is not entirely a time of life -- it is a state of mind. It is not wholly a matter of ripe cheeks, red lips or supple knees. It is a temper of will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions.

Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years. People grow old only by deserting their ideals. You are as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fears; as young as your hope, as old as your despair.

In the central place of every heart, there is a recording chamber; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer and courage, you are young.

When the wires are all down and your heart is covered with the snows of pessimism and the ice of cynicism, then, and only then, have you grown old. "

W. Miller

The Perfect Sky
~Tess

It is too easy
to speak of the lovers,
their crimson hands, the many lips
that may not touch
without a moon between.

It is too easy to call up
from the wordless hedge
the seal-colored birds, to fix them
a dark constellation
about the cloud
that even now is fading.

It is easy too
to see the woman in the doorway
and further, how she passes
to the familiar rooms
toward the slow faces,
how from her hands are falling
the endless, the wooden plates.

Cunningly, cunningly
she gives to those of her table
and they without apology
raise their bright forks, raise
and lower, fattening imperceptibly
in the yellowed light. Made calm
by some deeper neglect
her silhouette returns to the doorway.

The birds flown so recently from the hedge
reappear as do the lovers
of whom it has been easy
to speak. Finally, it is the missing cloud
that concerns us
and what we may say
before the perfect sky.

[this is for you(tess’s words from an old book-1976) Sherry to give to someone deserving
and a promise made outloud to be gentile and unresolvingly
debonair without mordant frivolity which I ashamedly accustom of<-- I actually knew those words to say
July 24 2001
I will amaze you, maybe bore you, or the very least hopefully amaze myself
this way – those that read this and from now on feel or see otherwise can
confront, pummel and whack me senseless-
I have done two wonderful things for myself lately
and I want to do a third
you see I am annoying- at times caustically and I get carried away –
I want that to change alittle- this isn’t science or an over night project-
maybe I will be better of it……
my epiphany ‘cross Kansas---
given with some reluctance – and maybe for lookin for some help achieving that-
