I may be stressed, but at least my eyeliner's on point.
Someone said “let negative energy pass through
you” and I think I got it. You could let it run off you
like water off a duck's back, but you would still feel the
temperature. You could let it bounce off you and back to them,
but you would still feel the impact, and when it hit them, they
would know it had hit you. The best way is to let it pass through
you as if it doesn't even matter, letting them have nothing
for their effort. Maybe I'm clear like an ice sculpture, and
what they say just passes through me like light. It doesn't
impact me in any way. I don't even notice it. A lens can
transmit light without being affected by it.
Meet me in the garden
Where the weeds grow tall
Down by the gate
I got a secret that I might tell
It'll give me away
You and I-
Well we're just pressing flowers
They're dying...
But they're ours <3
Meet me on the back porch
Where ivy climbs
Where they sat on the swing
Soak up the color
Of the midday sun
While the ocean sings
Ooh... Whatever you do...
Keep it with you...
Here are two things about the phenomenon called
the internet, the web, social media, etc.:
1) You can find a lot of mistakes and misinformation displayed
in pretty formats as if it were authoritative. [That might be a
self-referencing joke.]
2) You can find real, vital, fresh, cutting-edge, high-quality
information being disseminated quickly that no longer needs to
wait for the endorsement of older established gates of
communication such as TV networks, radio stations, paper
publishers, school teachers, clay tablets, cave paintings,
sacred stories, oral tradition, etc.
It’s a wonderful time for anyone who has
the ability to distinguish road apples from gemstones. It's
too bad that it can all disappear with a few accidentally
well-aimed comet impacts. I guess we'd better not let our
fireside story-telling abilities get rusty, just in case.
Got any good ones?
Post 'em here for the rest of us to remember for when there's no electricity, no infrastructure, no industry, no government, etc. Something you write today might just go down in history as the oral tradition of future generations of cataclismic survivors. Who knows?
