Words, words! When spoken outloud for the sake of performance are music. They have rhythm and pitch and timbre and volume. These are the properties of music and music has the ability to find us and move us and lift us up in ways that literal meaning can't.

@ThePhysicsMemes It had to say good bye to a lot of friends before it leaves its home town.

"Read myths. They teach you that you can turn inward, and you begin to get the message of the symbols. Read other people’s myths, not those of your own religion, because you tend to interpret your own religion in terms of facts — but if you read the other ones, you begin to get the message. Myth helps you to put your mind in touch with this experience of being alive. Myth tells you what the experience is."

-- Joseph Campbell

“Behind it all is surely an idea so simple, so beautiful, that when we grasp it, we will all say to each other, how could it have been otherwise?”

The fun of this whole thing is to make patterns, to figure out games, to do something with it.

[Merriam-Webster @MerriamWebster]

‘Booty’ and ‘butt’ are synonyms.

‘Call’ and ‘dial’ are synonyms.

But, a ‘booty call’ and a ‘butt dial’ are VERY different things.

I hope to define my life, whatever is left,
by migrations, south and north with the birds
and far from the metallic fever of clocks,
the self staring at the clock saying, "I must do this."
I can't tell the time on the tongue of the river
in the cool morning air, the smell of the ferment
of greenery, the dust off the canyon's rock walls,
the swallows swooping above the scent of raw water.

-- Jim Harrison

This is the true joy in life: Being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one, being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances, complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.

~ George Bernard Shaw

[Poetic Outlaws @OutlawsPoetic]

"I realize that no matter where I am, whether in a little room full of thought, or in this endless universe of stars and mountains, it's all in my mind…

Everything is perfect on the street again, the world is permeated with roses of happiness all the time, but none of us know it.

The happiness consists in realizing that it is all a great strange dream."

-- Jack Kerouac

When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

“The Old Ones were, the Old Ones are, and the Old Ones shall be. Not in the spaces we know, but between them. They walk serene and primal, undimensioned and to us unseen.”
― H.P. Lovecraft, The Dunwich Horror and Others

[Poetic Outlaws @OutlawsPoetic]

‘It’s 4 AM;
Do not go back to sleep.
The breezes at dawn have secrets to tell you
Do not go back to sleep!
You must ask for what you really want.
Do not go back to sleep!
People are going back and forth
across the doorsill where the two worlds touch,
The door is round and open
Do not go back to sleep!”

~ Rumi

Everything you currently know exists in the negligible difference between all that you've learned and all that you've forgotten.
