    Coffee you say... Eh? Oh I wish I still could drink it, but not with this nervous system!

    Perhaps I shall just smell the roses instead, cheers.

    Why Can't I Touch It?

    Well it seems so real I can see it
    And it seems so real I can feel it
    And it seems so real I can taste it
    And it seems so real I can hear it
    So why can't I touch it?
    So why can't I touch it?

    Then it looks so real I can see it
    And it feels so real I can feel it
    And it tastes so real I can taste it
    And it sounds so real I can hear it
    So why can't I touch it?
    So why can't I touch it?

    Then it looks so real I can feel it

    And it tastes so real I can hear it
    And it sounds so real I can see it
    So why can't I touch it?
    So why can't I touch it?

    Now it is so real I can see it
    And it is so real I can feel it
    And it is so real I can hear it
    And it is so real I can be it
    So why can't I touch it?

    Perseverance..

    “No, no- the sky will grow dark, cold rain will fall and all trace of the right way will be blotted out. You will be all alone.
    And still you will have to go on.
    There will be ghosts in the dark and voices in the air, disgusting prophecies coming true I wouldn’t wonder and absent faces present on every side, as the man said.
    And still you will have to go on.
    The last bridge will fall behind you and the last lights will go out, followed by the sun, the moon and the stars; and still you will have to go on.
    You will come to regions more desolate and wretched than you ever dreamed could exist, places of sorrow created entirely by that mean superstition which you yourself have put about for so long.
    But still you will have to go on”

    ― Richard Adams, Shardik

    Orientation vs. Disorientation

    Side by side: I am to the left, You are to the Right {or flip the two pronouns}

    Above and Below: I am above, You are below {or flip}

    Front to back: I am in front, You are behind {or flip}

    But…..

    Face to Face: I am in front of (you), You are in front of (me) {pronoun non-specific} and words like “as one”, “Same, same, but different but still same” seem to come alive.



    Where theory and experience meet.

    The common experience often referred to as consciousness.

    Sidebar, the ‘I’ or ‘you’ is not of necessity, human in nature.

    Desiderata
    GO PLACIDLY amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.

    Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.

    Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

    Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

    Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.

    Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass.

    Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.

    Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

    Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.

    And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
