A Language Plundered

As a whole, humanity is not very congruent.  Sad I think.

I would agree , Buddhakitty ;

Perhaps however , we would need to consider it
through the lens of the bagel theory of the universe ;

A 360 degree toroid , with a hole in the middle ,

spinning horizontally , and vertically at the same

time , like a smoke ring...as soon as spin ceased

to be coherent , the smoke ring falls apart...

Humanity is like that , when we consider spin , as

equaling perspective...

We "fall apart" when perspective is no longer coherent...;)

Thus , perhaps , this is why we are told to sit on it and spin !

dearest Wolf
so profound are your thoughts
I must confess I once maligned words
a hack with the pension for shock poetry
In time I learned to finesse words..

it's been a long journey
your poem brought that to memory..

wonderful..

love Raven

Thank You , SmackDown Raven !

What a wonderful word is "finesse" , is it not ?

It truly conveys , just by the sound and feel on

one's tongue , an eloquence , and the hiss of a

snake seductive , and informing one's consciousness

in such a way words may enter , slithering , rather

than a harsh strike ;

Language has so many levels , and ways of expression...

Age and experience do much to teach us this !

Thank you for your appreciation of such in your life !

I do remember someone teaching me this particular

thing long ago , when I called someone an asshole ;

They took me aside and said :

"Do Not Call Them An Asshole , You Will Alienate Some

You Might Choose To Be Your Friends ;

Rather , Just Ask Them If They Feel Caught In A Moment

Of Assholiness"

*That* taught me much...;)

dearest Wolf you have gained a lot of wisdom
I will be paying attention to you and your writes..

to be in a constant state of growth and evolution
is what I aspire to..

p.s. their advise to you made me giggle :)

love Raven

dearest Wolf
calling us as poets to higher standard
is truly beautiful..

there is a place and time for all
but words are sacred and this should be remembered..

wonderful..

love Crim

Ah , yes Crimson , we must carry the standard , as a banner , forward !

And interesting choice of word , "sacred" :

As that word can convey a meaning of being "set apart" from the norm ,

or the mundane world ; I am a firm believer , though the power of word

does describe the mundane , everyday reality , it is when it is used not to

separateness , yet to create a "separate reality" , wherein one may feel , and

create worlds outside of the norm , and carry others with them on the journey...

What I have found , interestingly enough , many are "scared" of the "sacred" ,

as they feel more comfortable in the mundane , and common perspective...

I do feel it is the duty of the poet , writer , artist , to disturb , lure , seduce those

into an alternate realm , and offer them a new window into reality...and beyond !

Thank you for your appreciation !

dearest Wolf you have so much knowledge
i'm in awe and deeply appreciative to you
for sharing with me because it is my mission
to be ever learning..

thank you..

love Crim

Crimson ;

I always loved Heinlein's Stranger In A Strange Land...

There is an expression he used , for one who always

saw themselves as one at the beginning of learning :

"I am only an egg"

I do try , though not always successful at keeping that

in my consciousness as my greatest lesson...

There are so many who have gone before us , and laid  

the stones we are walking on...

And I "shake my spears" at the universe , asking it to  

remind me , in the moments I need that...;)

I will be reading you and reaping
wisdom and knowledge dear poet..

love Crim

Remarkable uniqueness to this one wolf . Such an interesting way to look at everyone's complicit nature , even if it's denied . I can think of a handful of people in my own personal life that should open their eyes a little wider to who and what they look down upon . Bravo friend.

Thank You , Good Sir Elrond !

Another one coming in a few minutes ,

tongue in cheek stylie !
