The wind sings the breeze
Of ancient places.
The best perfumes of all...
Freedom among the Roses,
Justice among the Sunflowers,
Courage among the Tulips,
Goodness among the Snowdrops.
I'll live forever
In that field of wonders.
My eternal Spring.

I think the allure of doing something new, of originality, is that there's no way to fuck it up. It's new! It's never been done before! It is the perfect incarnation of the thing it is!
If I play a standard 12 bar blues I could fuck it up, or it could not be as good as the zillions of iterations of that form that came before.

I heard a political commentator talking about Tim Walz flatly saying something was wrong and/or calling the Trump crew "bad people" to a MAGAt and not giving it any further energy.
No explanation, no counter points, no lengthy polemic. Just a simple "that's wrong" and "they're bad people".
The commentator said they would have probably gone on to explain themselves at length rather than stopping there. I think they essentially said, of their own tendency, that it was probably less effective than simply saying something was wrong and leaving it.
I'm not sure it's worth debating people who are totally disingenuous and acting in bad faith on purpose.
They know they're wrong.
You know they're wrong.
Maybe just don't waste the oxygen on them and get busy doing something to stop them.

Thoughts floating
Like by a violin
The notes
Carried by the wind.

Pensieri che fluttuano
Come d'un violino

Good morning. 
27 March 2025
I was wide awake just a moment ago, but now my head is buzzing with a message to lay back down. Maybe it’s just me alone with my thoughts—or, well, with you. I received my CPAP machine yesterday and tried it for the first time last night. It has a mask that covers my nose, which will take some getting used to. I ended up taking the mask off around one this morning—baby steps. Maybe this buzzing in my head is the extra energy the doctor said I might feel. During the night, there were moments when the machine’s air pressure seemed to puff up my mouth, forcing me to open it to release the air. It’s such a strange feeling. Life takes another turn.
"Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them - that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like." - Lao Tzu
If a drop of water falls in a bucket at the rate of one drop per day, by the time the next drop falls in, the previous one has all ready evaporated, never collecting enough water to even have a sip to drink, much like the drip of support so many that are #disabled and living in #poverty receive, those drips as appreciated as they provide vital support, never flow fast enough to provide actual lasting meaningful relief, leaving those of us that are vulnerable without and often shamed for having to constantly ask for support to live, if for when it rains it could pour and fill the bucket, and provide for many days, so if support where to pour in, and bring true relief allowing those in need the means to live, if only people could see a drop in a bucket only adds up if it is constant, so much this disabled man living in poverty needs, but the random drops often come to infrequently and far less bountiful than what is needed, if only people could truly see the value in helping those like me, You can encourage my continued useless poetic commentary on random thoughts and events, and by doing so your helping to feed, house and clothe a #disabled man living in #poverty, $5-10-15 It All Helps, via #cashapp at $woctxphotog or via #paypal at paypal.com/donate?campaign_id=…
