There is somthing deeper.

the wind ripples the surface.

the fresh breeze topples the crests.

the squalls tear the chop free unto one another.

the lost waves hurtle windward from the storm’s bosom.

these waves travel from the bottom of the seabed

to the surface far above.the effect of these waves is global.

they are symptomatic of the residual flux of our changing world.

we,with age choose to believe there is consistancy to feed predictability

to seek security with speculative prediction is intoxicating,

The folly of our expectations takes on a life of its own.

Daily turn of events beyond us boggle the swami.

Philosophical generalities give comfort-solace.

flip some media at the front

of the sterile booksource

the crass marketing

of fantastic escape

is rife and fleshy

choose your favorite

vote your choice

covet the crescendo

deny the epitath

and birth.

the swell abruptly confronts the shore

the gladiators cheered now by other gladiators as well

eventually take their places

broken icons and surviving artisans

outside the arena

piled in heaps once plied by

convention and whim

take your place on the grand spectrum

of human niche and confess

there is somthing deeper

that has drawn us to sea

to tame the violence

and understand the chaos

that is reflected by

the sea within us all.

toil as we may

the tomorrow is

another bay

with another dawn

and an entirely diffrent surf.

or maybe it is simple …

paddle out , catch a wave , have fun !

simple ben [and happy that way …as my t-shirt says “never lose touch with your inner grommet”]

denial is a tool

reality is some times very sharp.

once cut by reality

some choose denial as a coagulant.

bless them that does.

…ambrose…

and bless ol’dale too

for workin so hard

to make us mats

to set our souls free

some buy the manf.chinese ones for 8.00

thats what they get

for floatin at the surface

yep bless them up at the surface

may they come to appreciate the depths.

shipmates all.

I wish these guys could talk …(they’d be the ocean going old yodas of the universe , I reckon !)

listen more carefully

they never stop communicating.

they are more inteligible in their natural habitat.

captivity stifles creative communication

the watergoing ones are a diffrent species so to speak

their appendages have better foils

friend dave tells of close encounter a few weeks back

eye contact spoke volumes.

sea turtles

are procted in these parts

in the wild

no tortises reside.

At some point in life, Reality may cut deeply enough that denial won’t staunch the bleeding. Blessed are those who haven’t been cut so deeply. Or then again, maybe blessed are those who have been so cut. Hard to say at this point. It may be that those wild turtles know…

Camo… comes in all shapes and sizes.

So we hide behind it ,like a cat hides it’s face behind some leaves…thinking invisibilities,and domination…only to be chased off the block by the bully dog next door…

…then in a SCREEECH !!! a HONK !!! and a cry ???

…tears of a child , fall here…Dog’s day ?..Cat’s game ?

So small,tiny,itty bitty to you and me…but to that lil’ lass…the Whole World.

Looks like “turtle lust” to me.

We all will one day take our place on the grand rectum of life…the final tube ride…

Givin the enormity of the cosmic whatever our lives are but beer and taco farts. Reality only cuts something real. My mother used to tell me that I could fool others but to never fool myself. I don’t think either of us expected the current onslaught of “information” targeted to mentally tie us up, rob us, and then rape us senseless. It isn’t enough to take our money and dignity, we must in the end swear brand loyalty to our attackers. That would have been considered rude at best and evil at worst; now any such judgement is called politically incorrect. Children are taught to conform and submit in schools, lots of parents demand they perform like dancing monkeys while they crash through their own downhill slides.

Or choose not to, and as in old western movies wind up dancing while bullets splatter at our feet, perhaps now an appropriate analogy of modern surfing for the lifers among us. It still beats the crap out of anything else I’ve come across.

Hey Ambrose,

I always like your posts, this is no different…

I personally like to be at the convergence of complexity and simplicity

Cheers,
