I can spout stuff like this but to me it seems amateurish, but that is me being critical of my poetry, since I am not a connoisseur of poetry. In fact, I don't really 'get' poetry and don't like most poetry. I like lyrics though, but I think music adds the missing feeling that I can't get from the written word. I hate going to poetry readings.

My approach is to write out my thoughts without trying to write poetry, because I don't really know how to write poetry. I don't know about meter and rhyming structures. But my thoughts come put somewhat poetic because that is the only way I can express them. There is a living juicy quality to my thoughts that I need to express. It isn't just the concepts I'm trying to express, but the life behind them that inspires them. Because what I am trying to express is not just mental concepts and intellectual theories and beliefs, but experiences and feelings. The true meaning is not in the words, but between the lines. The words are just to capture attention. Once I have your attention then I can draw your attention to the silences between the words. That is the real inspiration. That is where the truth of what I am expressing lies. Because, words can always be misunderstood and misinterpreted. That is why I posted those videos. But silence is the ground of being and is common to us all. When we are paying attention to silence, and our minds are in silence, mirroring, then we all are having the same experience. Then we are not only in communication, but we are in communion. A friend once said that I have a way with words, I guess that maybe I do. Probably because I am a quadruple Gemini!

Not to disregard everything you wrote, but what exactly is a quadruple Gemini? :shock: But yea that's why I like reading things like this on psychedelics. I can read in between the lines and understand it much more without trying, and basically as soon as the words leave my lips, it creates thoughts and ideas that I would of never "accomplished" or thought of, sober. It's almost like when I'm on a psychedelic substance, that my subconscious and my conscious thoughts interact at the same time, and relay thoughts to each other.

Haha, sorry if I sound like I'm just babbling on randomly. I'm quite new to psychedelics, and I've learned so much in such a short period of time, that's it is quite overwhelming. I can hardly express it. :panic:

Oh and also, I have a few questions about your Haunted Canyon experience. - First off, what all was REALLY real? Was the family RV, tent lady, and teenage party / cop all "real"?

- And do you think your shadow friend means something? What do you think he meant when he said you will meet someday later? Death?

- Also did you really trip for several days straight? Or was that just apart of the Datura effect? If it was several days of tripping, what were your friends doing in the mean time?

Bingo.

I did trip for several days.
I don't want to condone Datura. Stay away from it! It is dangerous and deadly and is not fun or psychedelic. It is like spending days in an unlucid nightmare. And it is poisonous.

Maybe you think that I am deep because you are new to psychedelics and are learning so many things very fast, and I am experienced in them and am putting some things into words for you. But you may have thought about them sometime yourself if I never wrote it down. Watch those videos of the guru while tripping!!!

Whoa.. that is scarily impressive that you tripped that long. Did you know what you were getting yourself into when you took the Datura? :shock:

And alright man! :D I'll actually be tripping this weekend by myself, So I'll be sure to watch those videos.

No, I didn't know what I was getting myself into, although i was warned.

By the way, a quadruple Gemini is someone who has four planets in Gemini. I have the Sun (which is actually a star, not a planet) in Gemini, Mercury (It is common to have Mercury in the same sign as your Sun sign since it is very close to the Sun), Venus and Saturn all in Gemini. I have Jupiter in Aquarius!, and Moon in Pisces with a Sagittarius rising. I cannot remember where the other planets were when I was born. But one thing I do know, is that I have no planets in any Earth signs, hence that is why I am not a materialist.

So I am all moved in to my new house, thank God! I hate moving. I am unpacking now and thinking that I should get rid of a little furniture. I don't need all this. My possessions are possessing me. Anybody want a coffee table and/or a rocking chair with a footrest?

But, my new place is ALL ME! I can do whatever I want! My new place is my own little dreamworld! I want one of those full-body mirrors that is on a stand for dreamwork. Anybody want to trade?

Congrats! Take pictures of your new place! :D

The next thing I will do is to put up some Gold Wall paper!

Check out that Elk antler on the book shelf!

:holyshit: Your place looks awesome, you have a garden already? And all of the colors and things, it all says "Dannon lives here". And you have an awesome wrap-around balcony! I am going to eat your cat.

Don't eat my cat!!! There are two red-tailed hawks or rough-legged hawks that live here and I am worried they will eat my cat. I don't think that they will though.
Yes, I started on the garden earlier. The landlord is a friend of mine, which is sweet, and I have hung out here a lot for barbecues, potlucks, and such. When he decided to
rent it out he asked me if I was interested in living here. at the time I said no because I had a lease and stuff, but I thought about it and he wasn't really actively looking for someone else
and I decided OK. Broke my lease in town.

Doesn't my cat look like a cat version of an Orca whale / Panda bear?

:lol: @ eating the cat. It does look a bit like an orca whale :P Congrats on the new place. I've always loved houses that are built around nature. You get to observe nature unlike living in an urban environment where you are pretty restricted with what you see :/

That is exactly what I was thinking when I saw his house.

I'm jealous you have a balcony :(

But now I have to commute. There is a downside to everything. I don't think that it will bother me so much until winter. But then I will get to use my fireplace all the time!

For me, it's about being just plain alone. I've always wondered what it would be like to try and meditate out in nature near a lake, given, I don't meditate much but I have done some and getting into it. It would probably be so calm and peaceful :)

Indeed! That is what makes it worth it! The silence. Nothing but me, the trees, the vegetables, the sky, the moon, the sun, the storms, and the computer and the cellphone (but those two are up to me), and my music collection and my instruments and my art supplies. But one needs other people to make music with, and I haven't lived in this area long enough to meet people that play music. None of my friends are artists or musicians, or into permaculture!!!! Back in Oregon, they all were.

So it is just me and my cat, like old times.

But my one of my oldest friends is coming to visit from Oregon today for a week and her and I are going camping and to a weekend music festival! I will make music all weekend with people!
I will meet a new musician friend whom I never met, but heard about through the grapevine through mutual friends.

Hermits get lonely.

I used to have bumper sticker that said "Hermits Unite!"

Well, definitely a downside to it, but, if you could live in urban during winter and rural area during summer, it would be great, since, you would get the best of both places :)

The best would be to live in Southern Oregon and/or Northern California for the fall, travel for the winter, and live in Kaua'i the rest of the time!

I think my Cat got eaten by either a raccoon or a hawk. :( He has been gone for a long time. :( He never has been gone for over two hours before, and it has been a week now. We just moved here, he seemed settled. He hung out for a week going in and out freely and seemed content. Then one night he was here purring, he went outside and never came back. There is a huge raccoon out here that keeps getting the chickens. There are also hawks that keep getting the chickens. That night I went out and called for my cat and I saw the raccoon run away! My poor sweet cat is probably dead, and died in fear. I feel vengeful to the raccoon, but I don't know what to do. My friend offered me his shotgun but I don't feel like shooting the raccoon. My cat is already gone, vengeance won't bring him back. It may protect the chickens though, but honestly, I don't care about the chickens. I don't eat chicken and I don't eat eggs and the raccoon does so he can have them. The chickens make good compost though.

I miss my Cat! He was only a kitten, a big big kitten, but he was only 7 months old, and he slept in my bed with me every night since I got him. I need to let him go. If I encounter that raccoon face to face I may get crazy. I had a roommate that strangled a raccoon with his bare hands before. I won't do that, that is psycho. Plus, this raccoon is the size of a coyote or a chow dog and is likely to have rabies also.

One time while I was hitchhiking with my dog many years ago a raccoon was trying to get our food in the middle of the night. I sat up and yelled for my dog and he backed off a little just growling at the raccoon. It was dark. All I could see were the raccoon's beady eyes reflecting in the darkness about thirty feet away. I was worried for my dog, who was a puppy at the time. I grabbed a can of soup and threw it as hard as I could at those two eyes in the darkness and I heard a "KAPOWW" and the raccoon ran off whimpering and never came back. In the morning I found the can and it was dented in half and the seam was broken, oozing out spaghetti-Os. Two summers ago I had to keep a bear away all night long with nothing but a canoe oar. It was dark also and I didn't know how big the bear was. I thought I scared him away a few times and I would go to sleep only to hear him trying to get to my food again. One time I awoke to a snort about two feet behind my head and I jumped up with that boat oar and swung it around and yelled "Who-Bear!" That is what you say: "Who-bear!" The sound of "Who!" scares them a little. But the last time I saw him was at dawn when he came back from another angle and I ran up swinging the boat oar yelling "who-bear!" and I saw him trot away. He was kind of cute. He looked at me over his shoulder as he was running away and he looked like a sad dog that got in trouble and knew that he wasn't going to get any treats. But we made eye-contact and something passed between us, and I knew that I wouldn't see him anymore while I was camping. But I have a lot more respect for a bear than I have for a raccoon, but I don't know why.
Byebye Kitty.

Raccoons are like vultures. Disgusting little critters. I had a family of raccoons living in the garage attic at my old house. They would climb on my dad's car and scratch and poop all over it. And leaving trash everywhere. They were so gross. I don't even know how they kept getting into our garage.

But anyways, would a raccoon really kill a cat? Either way, he's a nuisance. If he has rabies, you should go ahead and kill it. I hate killing other living things, but chances are, if he has rabies, there isn't much soul left in him anyways. And I can't imagine rabies being enjoyable for him.

What was your cat's name? :(

He never told me.

Cats are funny. He may still come back. A raccoon would have a hard time catching a cat, and even if he seemed comfortable in the new place, it wouldn't take much to spook him into hiding out for awhile. I'd say leave a bowl of food out for him, but the raccoon will just get it. If you do end up shooting it though, that would be a good option.

I really miss my cat.

Here is a picture of me with a very old friend of mine whom I have known over half my life. We met at a festival and we panhandled for beer money and got drunk. She lives here in Asheville also but we don't see each other that often.
This picture was taken this past winter. I don't have that hat anymore, I gave it away.

Love the hat :D But yea, I'm pretty sure you have the funniest / coolest stories ever haha.

By the way, any sign of your cat? :?

No, I checked the shelters but no sign of him.
