There is no peaceful silence
than within the silence itself...
No further love than inside
of love itself..
So let's dig,
Let's look for it then...!

APHORISMS OF Q (VOL. 1/viii)
I found a most enchanting place
Where all is pure, wonderful and safe
And then I dared to look around
And found my self in the mind of a child

1. We, humans, belong to Earth, rather than earth belongs to us.
2. One handicap we have is our biggest organ (NOT THAT!) but our SKIN:
The skin gives us a false sense that we are separated from the environment and other life.
3. A bird in the air, a fish or whale in the ocean, do not have this ALIENATION from the environment on which they depend. Humans make this odd dichotomy between the internal and external.
4. With life forms, there is only "inside-outside" for Science, or boxing and dissecting, to "get knowledge" (as opposed to wisdom). Death is a great leveler, as the Poet wrote. Death makes us one with the environment, the elements, even if we disagree with Genesis that God made ADAM (meaning "man") from "dust." Wisdom is evident in Bhutan, which includes for Global economics, GDP and GROSS HUMAN HAPPINESS. Hence their KING helped a sick US tourist - without a spleen - overcome Corona virus, though he is in his 70s, a miracle we shall hear more about for how some "dead" people are really more alive now.

Heard from Pastor on the internet:
If you are smart, you make lots of gains ("money"); but if you are WISE, you make a LIFE.

Death, which may be a door to another dimension, or vibrational level in the universe ... is impossible to accept or explore, when your ONLY BLESSING is your physical looks and body.

Does your conniption fit?
If it's not a laughing matter, then it's not important.
Did you ever notice that when you stir a glass of something, the spoon says, "Jibiddy jibiddy jibiddy jibiddy"?
Worst first name of anyone I ever met: Schmedroy.

The further I grow up
spiritually,
further spirit of
child i become ...
Many curse
many things because
they don't perceive them ...
but how to deny love
and the wind ...
The scream is a desperate
violent way to be heard ...
silence is truly
most eloquent ...
Who has no doubt,
nothing knows ...
who has doubts
also...
Daggers don't injury
alone ...
So ever
wield them with
the hands...
Tolerance is not
weakness ... but
consciousness...
The further we perceive,
least we believe
able to judge ...
The man who cognize the most ...
he knows he knows little ...!

Aphorisms
Mom used to say
Tom
7/14/2018
“You’re as Lost as a Goose in a Snow Storm”,
But a loggerheaded kid thought that was the norm.
Or “What’s good for the Goose is good for the Gander”
Keep that in mind when tempted to slander.
“Never kill the Goose that lays the golden egg”
You’ll wind up poor and someday have to beg.
Son, “Feather by Feather a Goose is plucked”
The down is for pillows that I’ll soon construct.
You can’t fill a round hole using a square peg,
And I’ve heard “A Wild Goose, never laid a tame egg”

Life is for the living,
Life is for the loving,
Love is for the giving,
We do live vicariously,
Don't take things too seriously,
Let's make extinction extinct,
How? Let's have a think!
Work and pray for Peace,
For plebs and critters we keep,
Let's preserve more habitats,
For wildlife and people chaps,
Exile brainwashing dictators,
Breed positive motivators,
Redirect capitalism,
Too much conflict over 'isms
Masks our real problems.
World makes too many munitions....
Create diverse solutions,
Too many mind pollutions,
Let's write some aphorisms,
Life is for the living,
Life is for the loving.

If we could read the minds of others, we would end up deaf
Future is unforeseen and inescapable
Old age expels the judgement
Intelligence and stupidity are often closely associated
Flashes of thought are expressed without thunder
