The most thrilling day of my life was the day I was murdered.
The sun was bright, blessing the morning with spring warmth that foretold summer. The trees were newly leafing, and the scent of blossom filled the park.
‘Do you want another game, John?’ I asked.
John smiled a little ruefully ‘two defeats are enough for one morning, Alan’ he said, packing his bowls away. ‘Besides, I’m going to my son’s house for lunch, a rare treat these days.’
It was such a lovely morning that I was reluctant to return to my bachelor pad. ‘OK, I’ll just practice on my...

What a monk is riding a motorcycle.
I understand the spiritual spirit,
I can understand the physical spirit,
A male monk and a female me,
What is the spiritual body?
Now I am in Shinto training. Sometimes I want to die on the way, but the days are really interesting. May.
Yesterday I was shown a black tamatebako.
After that, I have to wash my mind properly. From all sides, I think of the "difference". Anyone who is elastic would be nice, but we are weak. By looking at something you don't like, you'll be smarter. I have aspirations and it's...

The Dusk Of The Evening
He sat all alone at home in his small cottage which nestled at the edge of the woods, close by the stream that flowed from the hills and which gently refreshed the air all around as it spilled over a small cascading waterfall. The trees and shrubs in the woods, of course, were also a safe home to many of the creatures of the daytime (and the night) that were ever such a comfort to him for he loved to see and listen to them busily getting on with their day. Some of them were shy souls and so, therefore, they timidly buried themselves away when they sensed that man walked among them....

My head was throbbing when I reached for the phone in the dark. I knew hanging out with Perry was going to be regrettable. I wasn’t really much of a drinker anymore since I’ve been trying to eat and drink a little healthier. Trying to catch up from all the bad foods I consumed while growing up. But when dealing with Perry, that shit goes out the window real quick. And in celebrating his promotion, and with him moving back to New York I figured one night out with him wouldn’t set me back too much. It’s been years since I’ve had a drink and right now I’m paying for it. I didn’t fall into my...

I Lay down to Sleeps.
Drawn to the breath; That last one left.
Had me gasp for air, a time to interfere
With what the World had done,
in my absence they had won
The Sent3nce Fun
Because they were wickedly gone,
into the summit fur, into what midst i adhere
To know the Way, To heaven i say
Give me reason to Pray,
For the World of Today.
Because they had taken all gone.
My Last Preference is done. So What
Am i to do; But to Pray to you Boo.
For unless you do, unless you knew;
What love unfolds, Then beholds
The Term i cease,...

“Te khalion tai te shingerdjon che gada, hai tu te trais sastimasa tai voyasa.”
“With what tongue have you laid a curse upon me?”
“Only the speech of Gypsies and not so much a curse as a blessing if seen in the right light.”
“I take your words to be risqué in nature. Please translate so that I may see the good side of what you propose.”
“‘May your clothes rip and wear out, but may you live on in good health and in fulfillment.’ You see to live naked and happy is good fortune indeed. Clothes are an impediment to the joys...

Sauna Fidelity Test
Sauna Fidelity Test
“My brother-in-law are you comfortable in this sauna?”
“It is quite warm but that is what these hothouses are for.”
“Well, if you need to take off your towel I won’t mind. Your wife will understand. No need to go around swaddled in this swelter.”
“The heat is oppressive so in the interest of comfort, I’ll go nude. But are you comfortable with me in this state of undress?”
“You were already mostly naked. I consider what is underneath to be a perfectly healthy part of the male physique.”
“I bet that...

Mystery solved
Magic Mushrooms pg 5
Everyone closed their eyes and raised their heads up to the stars and simultaneously begin to chant
We call upon you our Charm Keeper Supreme
humbled we ask, clarify our brothers memories
We give to you our tribute, before it’s death & dark
echo’s of a stillborn baby’s beating heart.
RiAN pulled a special potion bottle out of her cloak
and sat it next to the vile. Both...
