O Flower ~ (Poem – Song- Thing) w/Violin Woohoo – I still Can’t Sing

Will probably put up an instrumental version cause the vocals are so ghastly. I kept them in mostly because the timing of this crap take was better than anything I could come up with this evening. I’m satisfied with the violin and can tolerate the guitar. I’m putting this steam of consciousness in because it’s what I do.

The driving rain
It fell into the
Well
Through the rock
That I broke
With
All I had to sell
For a cahnce
To catch
Heavens
Tears
Fill me up
With the awry years
Till I burst into the river
Till we all reach the sea

Percolating through the soil
Springing branches
And the dewdrops are braking through the rock
Little dewdrops are
Braking through the
Braking through the rock

Bursting through the soil
Blossom yet another canyon for forward
O dew
O flower

Keeping up with papers isn’t one of my skills but fortunately some of my trees are sprouting leaves.

Escapism is lack of Trust

On April 5, 2019 By Alex V. WeirIn Alex Weir, Philosophy, Psychology, Social Commentary, The Fractal Journal, Uncategorized2 Comments

(Note – ‘Criticism’ of persons involved isn’t done maliciously. I’m simply framing my point with teasing observations consisting of my initial impressions. People are complicated and I don’t want to contribute to empty snark culture.)

Today was a research heavy day. As part of that research for projects like The Sketch of Sam Monroe I watched this video.

I was a bit grossed out by the weird suburban ‘New Age Catholicism’ on display. The Self-flagellation and self conscience ego denial (referring to humanity as monkeys in the process, repeatedly) was cringey for this Wattsian disciple.

My universe is a touch more playful. (It’s not a disappointed mother Gaia. Counterpart to disappointed Yahweh. Seriously though the parallels between this and Catholicism…anyway.)

That being said the video did have some good psychological insights. The curandero or whoever (I honestly can’t be bothered to rewatch this: I went to Christian Academies and the similarities are nauseating) said that addiction is due to a feeling of emptiness. So folk plunge into opiate escapism or whatever the drift was. (Super paraphrasing. Please watch the linked video if you want the full scoop.)

This is true…. But, instead of filling the void that you used to fill with alcohol… with Ayahuasca you should fill it with realization.

Escapism is amnesia. It’s forgetting that the point of life is to live it.

Escapism is a lack of trust. You do not trust that life will bring you interesting and beautiful experiences so you binge on carefully controlled scenarios. Some of which are chemical.

I think it’s a point worth making however brief it is.

To the credit of the film I believe it points this out towards the end.
