Golden Dust Jane? Just where did you say I could find this gold stuff? You certainly have my attention now....Now, as my record proves, I am willing to buy into most any thing that promises a bit of gold dust at the end of the rainbow. Unfortunately all my gods have been false lately; and though I have not fabricated the golden calf I have, in all likelihood provided those who worship the beast, with enough extra gelt to do a very good resurfacing. Ahhhh but I am the ultimate carney rube.....You ever catch my references to the time I let these to southern carney hustlers take me for every cent I had....I even gave em my lucky Mr. Jefferson $2 bill...... I sat there watching myself get hustled and could do nothing but fork up the dough...ohhhhh how I wanted to win...and then make it back to even.....such a wonderful fate to get taken by two guys with very bad teeth, Rebel Yell breath, and arm pits that produced smells that still seep down the dusty corridors of my mind. It was a lesson; cheap at that, that I remembered very well until I got involved in the Vancouver Carney Show. But I still believe, or at least hope I can make it back to even.....Hey Ghunk, you still holdin that vaudeville act they call the Rim? I am! God save the Queen of England and fools like us. I apologize for my posts a few days ago. I have read and reread them and what they are related to. I said some things I would rather not have. I said some thing I really believe. However I broke one of the rules I feel we should all live by, and that is to respect others beliefs and attitudes as one would wish to be respected. My tirade about choice stands. I believe we all know our own salvation, or a pretty good path to it. I believe I've seen mine and turned away from it, not intentionally just drifted away in the endless sea of need. I believe I stand condemned for that. But it is a fact many face; and it is not the end. But it does provide me with a great well of humor....Laughing in the face of the inevitable. The only real joy left to me. So to night it is Waikiki. In search of the true Hawaiian Song. And believe it or not it will be better than my search for a good junior mining company. Hawaiian language and song are in another stage of rebirth; another period of discovery. It will be the real stuff, not some carribian wanna be junk. Its been a rough week. The realization that I was not here resting was hard to put up with. This is not failure when you can make a living, but is it success when you feel obliged to do it on your vacation? Tomorrow I visit my own sea of forgetfulness. The surf is up. and that tiny corner of the north-east will have some respectable waves. I can visit the gods of The Place. The land where water is the Lord; and who knows what the Lord shall bring. Makapu'u. I once took a drop on a shore brake wave that had me clinging to the wall like a man sliding down a glassed faced skyscraper. But the wave bowled out a bit and the face curled soft over me like a big eye closing. I let go of wall and took the drop to the bottom, rolled on my back and looked up as the sky glittered soft blue through the icy lenses of the wave. In the eye of the surf iis true silence, and one can here the Ommmm of the True Spirit. Just once, and only for a few seconds. But you are right, if you have been there is doesn't much matter for how long or how often... Jane, I don't think this thread is very anti Judeo-Christian. Most of the people on this thread are trying to deal with that upbringing. I didn't lose it. I'm no fundamentalist, but I've never viewed Jesus as a soft and cuddly kind of fellow. As Shalom pointed out on one of his posts on his thread, ole Jesus was recruited by the local militia. Maybe that was why he ran away to the desert for a month or so. He probably could have driven the Romans out of the Lands. Could have negotiated a good truce, made a place for himself in the Empire. Saved a lot of lives and given his people a Land they could call their own. Hell we might as well blame the holocaust on him, lazy damn wimp. I just love revisionist history. Peace and regards, mnmuench
