My cat says it's time for cat nap (she always says that .)

I think she's right. Night, night.

Here is the other designer's version....Chris Thornley from Lancashire did this last May.

So speaking from a Discordian's perspective, WTF happened here???

[modwiz]

Ok. Beautiful night in the tent. 53 F. outside and 78 F. inside. A few hardy night insects are still singing in spite of the cooler temperatures and I send them thoughts of thanks. Their serenades through the Summer nights have been an unending source of delight and enchantment.

15 more days in the tent then it is back to the mountain farmhouse and the wife. The look in her eye lets me know she will make me very happy to be back home for the next 6 months.

On the cover of my Principia (steve jacksom games edition) it says:

How I found the Goddess,
And what I did to her when I found her.

also:

100% Discordian CATMA

It is a religion of balance, the hodge podge of order and disorder, balancing especially reverence with irreverence.

Here is my impromptu Discordian blessing for the newly built village church:

So Let It Be Written
So Let It Be Done
If We Can't Have (Jesus, Buddha, Allah, 2012, Niburu, Elenin, Insert Popular Religious Figure Or Predicition Here)
Then We Will Just Have Fun

[PurpleLama]

Also, recommended reading for all lovers of Discordia, of Eris, is The Illuminatus Trilogy by Robert Anton Wilson. It will *really* **** with your head! It's great! Upon reading one might discover it to be the foundation upon which our entire alternative media community has been built!

I agree. I read the trilogy when I was a wee lad of 23. There was no art bell back then. Atleast not that I was aware of. And it made perfect sense in so many ways.
And I have to give Robert Anton Wilson props on so many things.
How he came up with the idea to use survivors of Atlantis as the top of the Illuminati pyramid. Just really good stuff.

I read the Illuminatus trilogy when I was a young man also, which was some years ago but I still remember my amazement at the way the author presented everything in such a tight fashion, but so inclusive of so much. I need to read it again. Thanks for bringing it back to attention!

Rahkyt,
Thanks for the Commodores vids you put on my music thread. Been listening to them, those guys are so talented. This one is my fav, and it's too good not to share in the village.

Lyrics
(Lionel Richie)

I may be just a foolish dreamer
But I don't care
'Cause I know my happiness is waiting out there somewhere
I'm searching for that silver lining
Horizons that I've never seen
Oh I'd like to take just a moment and dream my dream
Dream my dream

Zoom

I'd like to fly far away from here
Where my mind is fresh and clear
And I'd find the love that I long to see
Where everybody can be what they wanna be
I'd like the greet the sun each morning
And walk amongst the stars at night
I'd like to know the taste of honey in my life
Well I've shared so many pains
And I've played so many games
But everyone finds the right way

Somehow
Somewhere
Someday

Zoom

I'd like to fly far away from here
Where my mind can be fresh and clear
And I'll find the love that I long to see
People can be what they wanna be
I wish the world were truly happy
Living as one
I wish the word they call freedom someday would come
Someday would come

Zoom

I'd like to fly far away from here
Where my mind can be fresh and clear
And I'd find the love that I long to see
Everybody can be what they wanna be

Zoom

I'd like to fly away

Zoom

I'd like to fly away

Zoom

I'd like to fly away
You and me, baby
Walking free

Don't you wanna go?
Don't you wanna go?

Listening to the Commodores while trying to catch my dream.
Speculating about what's next. Packing, doing my hair, collecting debts.
Less than a week from now I will have pitched my tent far away, in Barbados,
leaving my husband alone with the cats for the winter months...with only Skype contact.
The reverse from Modwiz' situation. Around Easter the marriage picks up again.
Right now it's time for a break.

[Caren]

Just listened to Zoom.. love the lyrics and feeling very relaxed now.. thanks Junebug

[Mark]

wow what an evolved relationship ulli. lol i'm sure it fits both of you very well. it's my pleasure y'all, to share the commodores. i can remember being a small child and listening to them, earth wind and fire and others, sing these beautiful, soulful, spiritual songs, not even knowing that most music was not like that. glad y'all enjoyed, think i'll give a listen now too in resonant sympathy with the Village ...

[Marianne]

Here and now, sitting on my back deck (south facing) with a pale blue sky overhead. Trees are beginning to change color, even the yellow maple outside my kitchen window... it's the last to lose its leaves in winter, my friend to the end. It's brilliant yellow... maybe I'll get a picture of it this year. The air is so still, so quiet, just the drone of a plane way way off, muffled. Occasional car tire noise on the road, way off too. Now a breeze rustling the tree tops. The sun is warm, the mood is mellow. Life is good.

Ulli, wishing you clear skies on your trip to Barbados! And happy times with your family.

[ulli]

Husband just asked if anyone from the forum has offered to come to Costa Rica to keep him company....

[Lisab]

Safe trip Ulli. Now we get you all to ourselves! See you in Barbados. Love ya x

[Mark]

lol you should tell him only if you get to have somebody from the forum keep you company in Barbados!!

[lotusblossom]

Here and now I sit listening to the birds sing a cheerful song and the sun shinning bright warming my face. My heart soars with love and gratitude to be here and now. I now send love to all that are here for now is the time to send love to all of earth and listen to her and respond. For every one of us are one part of a whole and were put here for now!

[laughs-last]

The end is nigh, they blocked zoom, ok now i'm getting off the fence and rolling up my metaphysical sleves ( i had zoom in my head but it said blocked to my country............ those PTB prepare to be slapped down. wait, what's that, they have already been scedualed for termination, ah ok, I guess I can put the spiritual whoopass back in the bag. I still want ZOOM though (tears in eyes)

ONE LOVE, BIG HUGZ and FREE MEDIA!

[ulli]

You all made me laugh.
So who wants to come to Barbados??
Now off to wash the fake blonde dye out of my hair.
