OT Easter Eggs

Why else would so many of us have a favorite khuk hanging on/by the side of the bed?

( not me of course - I keep a Bauchop AlleyCat Fighter there instead )
 
Kis:
Thanks for link and really good "reminder" posts.
To cherish every moment; respecting and appreciating uniqueness, talents etc. ....and letting them know you do. Can't be said "too often". Those kind of thoughts I try to keep as daily mantras, imperfectly of course. I'm always needing to remind myself as I forget easily during the course of a day.

(Though a distracting new mantra has slipped in there ("Gotta get a burr all along one side, before you do anything else, gotta have that burr before you turn it over...")


Semper:
Bet that "tag line" works real good.
 
I was once walking along a forest road in the night. I had a harmonica with me. My friend and fellow traveler and I stopped on the road to assess a fold, coulee, or small canyon (take your pick) the road broached. Above us was darkness and the hidden depths of this hollow. Sound was muffled and there was a chill, understandable with a downdraft from the hollow.
It is hard to say what happened next. I'd climbed the highest peak in Southern California at night with this guy, but he turned to me now and said,

"Did you feel that!!?"

"Yes. Like something's wrong up there."

"Lets keep going, get by this."

"Keep going? Let's go up there and see what's wrong."

.. ...

Much later he told me that was a defining point. Everyone he knew would keep on the road; I wanted to see what was wrong.

But I'm afraid of the dark.

My grandma would always tell me that monsters live in the trees in the backyard, and that they would come out at night.:(
 
Kis:
"Youngblood?" - nice touch.
Noting those titles to look into. Have a few, but don't think those are among them.
 
Sorry, that was inadvertent. Must have hearkened back to a book entitled "Youngblood Hawk". Or, another synaptic dysfunction.

I think the books are wonderful, but I like early 20th century outdoors stuff. I probably would not have lasted a week, but I dream sometimes.

Good luck in all your ventures.
 
Munk:

I guess there's different kinds of "afraid of the dark".

My daughter's kind prevented her from doing things. Wanting someone to accompany her to her own room, refusing to go alone.

"Let's go up there and see what's wrong." Doesn't sound like the response of the fearful. (Rather pro-active.)

I have my moments too. Maybe we all have our "moments" in the dark.
(All the more reason to have those reassuring khuks!);) :)



Kis:

I got a kick out of your "synaptic dysfunction". It reminded me of a movie involving some north american spirituality and visions. I liked it.

I remember the days whem I was single waching a good horror flick on late night TV. Would start off with one gun laying next to my easy chair, and end up with half my arsenal spread on abd around me if it was a good nonster or vampire movie.
 
By God Bill, you must have really been a hell raiser in the old days to make that kind of statement.

The pure light of truth and beauty lets those ugly things fall away and become unimportant compared to what lives and blossoms in your heart and soul today.

Why else would I use the Blue Shoshone Rose as an avatar but to remind me of the opening and blossoming of my heart and soul into growth toward beauty and pureness?
 
Rusty, no one's afraid of the light of love and understanding, truth and beauty; we're afraid of the light that reveals everything. And I know you pass through the latter before you enter the former.

I know that munk. I'm just giving Bill equal opportunity to suffer the teasing everyone inevitably gets sooner or later around this joint. :p :p :p
 
I used to be afraid of the dark when Hoghead was on the road. Everyone knew when he was gone since his car would be missing for 2-3 days. Then he found HI. Doesn't matter what side of the bed I fall out on there's a friend handy. And if all else fails there's TINY,;) (ie. the 30 "AK or whatever it is) I'm finally sleeping real well.

P.S. The sleeping pills help, too:D
 
And I know that, Rusty. I was just taking second best lick'ns after Bill got the best line.

Yeah. So can I. That's why I weaar a beard. It helps to have something to hide behind when you have to look into the mirror.
