If i speak with love using the tongues of Angels imcomprehesable it is not for my ego but for you to learn to know the finest definitions of love and forgiveness

I am fond of referring to being clubbed senseless yet best describes my experience in the presence of crowds is as either terrified or bored & as rudely reverent having been in The Presence I am dazzled and well remembered the privilege alone & singular

Followed closely on in the wake of my last post it seems the author of my beloved adored & received 'love notes from God' continues to request my attention otherwise begrudgingly given as in Mark Twain's seldom annotated quote from his time in college working at the post office; 
“I hated being at the beck and call of every son-of-a-bitch with two cents.”

If I presume or arrogate the Presence holding me enthralled it is not i but He since i in love would do or be anything for the love of God. Yet no murder nor doing harm

Mother whose flames kept me somewhat distant was fabulously intelligent and upon too few occasions expressed her final evaluation of her self in the following – lamentably imperfect my recall but enough remembered to mention its inspiration--: 
“We must learn being valueless as a grain of sand.”

Apprehensive convicted simply not blown away but apart then & until now; I found William Blake's

To see a world in a Grain of Sand,
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.” --The Marriage of Heaven and Hell (c. 1790-1793)

At such times again am I savaged by grief
again a reprise ravaged the moments of
penetrative puncture a spear rowed in my
heart & by her leave forgiving me now forgiving
her tutorials she lives eternal as is M so beloved of
me that in gratitude I would go and burn eternally
remembered the sound of her voice telling me to GO!

So too the bride of my youth
beloved upon first sight who
in leaving her said to me
not to return shadowing my body again

it is well that. I will soon be limp and useless this joy stick my testis frozen in the bowl beneath and then I will be less savage in my adoration of women who fascinate me adam befriending a being with nonexistent protrusion merely the Mount of Venus or mons veneris best laved bald

Like our minds we use the lesser least part one trillionth the potential
moving right along . . . it is well that i learned to play with words before the lesser aspect when I knew not its joy or purpose sensuous

I know you cannot hear my mirth tears of joy drowning me at time other extreme I have reams of bathroom wipes instead of facial so endless my tears of both extents
oh jackie you so very bad sad mad boy why not say all orifices?
Returning to the wake luminous afterward the previous post I discovered the following not divination as such merely proof positive that The Beloved not only communicates but has a sense of humor. For &/+ Us.

As the nuns who taught me one needs to ignore first reactions in telling me St. Teresa of Avila & St. John of the Cross were lovers Shocked & Awed I wondered about that until M

Say no more fool since the best part is friendship equal renewed daily unconditional marriage conjugal or otherwise. With that preamble I confess a prior prejudice against all foreign costume and custom particularly in dialect or vernacular but of women's clothes oh boy regardless before during or afterward future
a tincture less now my fetishes that remain

077. No Attachment to Dust

Zengetsu, a Chinese master of the T'ang dynasty, wrote the following advice for his pupils:

Living in the world yet not forming attachments to the dust of the world is the way of a true Zen student.

When witnessing the good action of another encourage yourself to follow his example. Hearing of the mistaken action of another, advise yourself not to emulate it.

Even though alone in a dark room, be as if you were facing a noble guest. Express your feelings, but become no more expressive than your true nature.

Poverty is your treasure. Never exchange it for an easy life.

A person may appear a fool and yet not be one. He may only be guarding his wisdom carefully.

Virtues are the fruit of self-discipline and do not drop from heaven of themselves as does rain or snow.

Modesty is the foundation of all virtues. Let your neighbors discover you before you make yourself known to them.

A noble heart never forces itself forward. Its words are as rare gems, seldom displayed and of great value.

To a sincere student, every day is a fortunate day. Time passes but he never lags behind. Neither glory nor shame can move him.

Censure yourself, never another. Do not discuss right and wrong.

Some things, though right, were considered wrong for generations. Since the value of righteousness may be recognized after centuries, there is no need to crave immediate appreciation.

Live with cause and leave results to the great law of the universe. Pass each day in peaceful contemplation.


I stand reproved not diciplined with the rod but with compassionate passionate love empathy and forgiveness. In closing the women I have loved perhaps could not stand the rarefied air of my adoration or my molsetation desired of their unique difference between us lusted for.

Oh dear sweet Jesus I adore you and playing with words.

“I am a man; nothing human is alien to me.” --Terence
