I love this song......

Galileo's head was on the block

The crime was looking up the truth

And as the bombshells of my daily fears explode

I try to trace them to my youth


And then you had to bring up reincarnation

Over a couple of beers the other night

And now I'm serving time for mistakes made by another

In another lifetime


How long till my soul gets it right

Can any human being ever reach that kind of light

I call on the resting soul

of Galileo

King of night vision

King of insight


I think about my fear of motion

Which I never could explain

Some other fool across the ocean years ago

Must have crashed his little airplane


How long till my soul gets it right

Can any human being ever reach that kind of light

I call on the resting soul

of Galileo

King of night vision

King of insight


I'm not making a joke

you know me I take everything so seriously

If we wait for the time till all souls get it right

Then at least I know there'll be no nuclear annihalation

in my lifetimeI'm still not right

I offer thanks to those before me

that's all I've got to say

Cause maybe you squandered big bucks in your lifetime

Now I have to pay

But then again it feels like some sort of inspiration

To let the next life off the hook

Or she'll sayLook what I had to overcome from my last life

I think I'll write a book


How long till my soul gets it right

(till my soul gets it right)Can any human being ever reach the highest light

Except for Galileo (resting soul)

Resting soul (of Galileo)

King of night vision

King of insight

we're supposed to be getting it "right"?

crap.

too much control is a bad thing you know.

let's hope the airline pilots are super-relaxed for example but not so much so that they're asleep.

TaoSpring - pallet chicken coop

-
Image
I had less than a month to build a suitable coop and chicken run. I had very little money to work with. Having seen many coops and out buildings that people have assembled using scrap pallets, I thought that I would give it a try. Starting with two 4 x 8 pallets as the floor, I assembled all the available pallets that I could find. This is the frame of the coop. It will measure approximately 8ft x 8ft. Saltbox style roof will be 9 feet at the front and will taper down to 8 1/4 feet in the back. My inspiration is drawn from the bottom photo   seen here. I varied the plans to accommodate the unevenness of available pallet size. In a perfect world a 4' x 4' pallet would make pallet building as easy as playing with Lego's. Unfortunately downsizing has effected everything. Most pallets now measure 48" x 40" and the solid 4' by 4' pallets are usually reclaimed by their owners. Oh, they're out there, but I am looking to build for as...

We're all Gods witha capital "G", eh?

The multiplicity of available forums such as blogger, wordpress, my space and etc...allow us the ability to share something of our experience. And I like that:>) On some subjects we will agree while on others we may see things differently. And that's okay. So, here I go again... I recently read a brilliant and well written post on a Buddhist blog that mapped out the reasons why it is that Buddhists do not believe in a supreme being and that the concept of a creator God is antithetical to Buddhist thought. The post also cites that the Buddha listed belief in a supreme creator as one of the wrong views in the Brahmajala Sutta, Digha 1. This neatly packaged "Buddhist belief" feels like too big a piece of gristle in my mouth. Chewing it creates a rather fatty taste in my mouth and to spit it out feels rude. I have come to a place where I am sensitive or aware of beliefs, labels and such. At several points in my life I could say that I am a Christian, a Taoist, a Buddhist, ...

Loneliness is such a....drag

"Spiritual friendship, association with wise and noble friends, and wise and noble deeds are the whole of the holy life." the Buddha I, ve been watching some of the recurrent thoughts that arise to chastise me and one of the little buggers is the thought and the subsequent feelings of loneliness. When I was studying and reaching for a life as a Christian pastor, I felt a like-mind with several brothers and sisters that I had met along the way. Sometimes it seemed easy to extend grace toward one another. It was a time of embracing. There was value in " not forsaking the assembling of yourselves together." This friendship has not been duplicated since. I bear some responsibility for this. The level of fundamentalist Christian teaching that I withstood, questioned, and then left behind, left me lacking in trust of an organized anything: (see previous post) I have since relied on some of the friendships that developed through blogger to replace that which was not pres...
