Curly Wisdom

I have been deep in thought and practice on the following quote from Michael Leunig's "The Curly Pyjama letters".

"In response to your question 'What is worth doing and what is worth having?', I simply have this to say...It is worth doing nothing and having a rest!"

This world can demand so much and we can so easily get caught out by selling ourselves short of simple and beautiful truths like this.

Norm's Diner

Coffee with apple pie á la mode
Lost souls on La Ciegnega
The sea is high
Wind strong

Perfume smell of minerals
That rise from the briny
Close to truth
Holding life

How do these survive?
Pay them. Dress them smart
Cut the hair and
Bleed the heart

A wind blows to stir the tree
Money falls
Whilst we stand beneath
Armed with rake and shovel

All I want is another coffee
Another shot at the lights
Just to hear them go
POP! TSCHHHH!

You hit one and coffee drops
Like a circus prize
In a concrete mug
Anchored in the silent deep

words and errors (from a ranting soul)

Here's the level, with confusing aspects of meagre re-arranging.
The beggars of Lands end broke the light of miscommunication and fell off the edge of the world. Time kills the pain in the end, kills the communication between beings. Perhaps it is that all life transcends to a base product of matter that will have the power to heal all things.
Without lapses in pleasure we necessitate toward lowliness, self-absorption and useless takings. A ruined part of existence. I've visited and it's and arse of a place.

Too low to brave the cold, too high to brave the heat. Medal and trophy saved many a people from themselves yet saved none a penny.
The wrangling, marauding mega monolith of wealth, created by man to out do God, the path away from God dependence, away from accountability on the earth. What about the bond?
Eternity weighs all things, balances, scales of justice, a verdict true and harshly correct.

Of all this i am one and yet begging for separation. Am i hindered by my belief in uniqueness? my understanding of love and peace? What are these things but words, errors, on the look out for correction and help.

Surfing

Yes well i am here reminiscing...days past in Noosa, fumbling round at Johnsons, bicycle stance at Tea Tree and chasing my board up the rocks at Nationals. Eating sushi and drinking beer post surf.
It sounds like everyone had a fine time up at the Festival this year...i'm quite green with envy but that's okay i'm happy to swim out with some fins at my local spot and pretend i'm a dolphin for awhile. Some might call my style 'sea cow' but that's okay, i'm happy and hey perhaps i'll save some petrol money and head to Noosa next year.
