someone called my name


charles...charles...charles...

as i sat at my desk with my back to the world
waiting to take a bath
someone called my name
i heard it quite clear
socrates pythagorous bennet gurdjieff jesus
charles...charles...charles...



As I sat in the back of that old taxi cab.
waitin' for the evening to come.
On every street of this city
I heard you call my name.

You're the strangest feeling I ever had.
The strangest feeling.
You're the strangest feeling I ever had.
The strangest feeling.

smokin' too long?


nick drake makes a call

whew...life is on an extreme swing lately...completely uninspired, wind out of the sails...landlord troubles and then new-to-be landlord troubles...one set asking us to leave 'cos we're pg, and then the next one asking if we are sure we want to move in...one thing for sure, babies kick up a lot of stuff, and they begin to influence your life long before they take their first breath...typical stupidity at work, of course...this time we aren't having a christmas party 'cos stephen is too cheap to give us a party and close on the day after christmas both...so we have to throw our own party at jo's place...and ran and i have been fighting like pigs this past week...and so i step out on the porch for a bit of an attitude adjustment...it's cold but sunny and so it just feels brisk...and i take those deep breaths, smoke mixed with the freshest air...and when i come back in nick is on the box...

"tell me tell me, what've i done wrong, ain't nothin' go right with me must be i been smokin' too long"

ran would agree.

woodstock


you never know what will pop up while checking site hits and discussing plans for labor day.

been getting some hits from folks looking for pixies from the incredible shrinking man so i checked google to see just how deep my link was buried...3rd page as it turns out...surfing one page deeper i saw this funky photo and decided to check out the source page.



meanwhile ran was standing in the doorway suggesting that we travel down to woodstock for the saturday and sunday of labor day weekend...i click the link to the pixie above and what opens up in my browser?



WOODSTOCK
(Michael Wadleigh and Bob Maurice, USA, 1970)  (F)
Some day, Woodstock 1968 will be celebrated as the first of many manifestations of a more human society yet to come. For, despite the wails of their elders, it represented the aspirations of a defiantly romantic counter-movement, with rock -- its own music -- expressing the new lifestyle. This still reflects it: casual disorder, non-conformism, a new attire, a closeness to nature, informality -- and love.  A romantic, utopian, and necessary vision if man is to survive.

hmmm...maybe this was a good year to skip burning man after all...

the realm of hungry ghosts


where do you think that is?

in her book lovingkindness, sharon salzburg recounts how someone once asked thich nat hanh what life is like in the realm of hungry ghosts, the home of "beings with immense bodies but pinhole mouths, so that they are continually driven by unsatisfied desire". shortly after reading that passage i came upon this brick wall, three blocks south of yoga on 5th, in a little urban park next door to morrissey jewelers.



oh yeah...tich nat hanh's answer? "america".

more annette farrington craziness


when it rains it pours

well, quite the synchronistic day...looking through my blog mail i came upon an email from annette dated november 19 that i had not answered, in which she complimented my creativity and asked me if i was a writer...and so i figured it was time to answer...



funny how your question stumped me so that i never answered you...so...not professionally...i have the stereotypical difficulties reconciling art and commerce. and i'm a diva to boot (my friend chelynn told me that movie wasn't as good as i remember it...hmmm...it does at least bring up things worth talking or thinking about).

and so yes...i guess i am...

peace in chaos,

chas

and then, having sent the reply and visited annette's site and read a nice piece called freedom from fear , i went to check my site meter stats and discovered that someone had just recently visited my site based on a google search for...annette farrington...well then...

death clock


more funny numbers and dates...this time with death at my elbow

went to the death clock to check the time, and find that universe is shining generosity upon me, as well as synchronicity and good humor...having recently celebrated my second set of 23 years (january 23), i see now that i am to be alloted another two sets of 23, as my death clock is set to toll on december 4 2050, which will curiously enough be my brother george's 90th birthday. well then...1,477,023,005 seconds to go!

5th dimension


a musical synchronicity stretched out over two days

yesterday morning i was in a 5th dimension groove, up up and away was all in my head and then i was reminiscing and working out the aquarius/let the sun shine routine and then the sun came out and ran started in on the let the sun shine part...that was a keanu so i told her about the dream i had in the 5th grade when the 5th dimension came sailing over the block in an air balloon and then touched down on the street next to my house and invited me up for a ride...so then the whole day i was singing "up up and away ..."

so then when i went in to work today laura was singing "this is the dawning of the age of aquarius" and i was like keanu'd all over again...and then i got the worst that could happen stuck in my head, which was extra weird because you almost only ever hear the brooklyn bridge version anymore, and the words of course...

I've known all along you couldn't live forever in between
And, baby, if he loves you more than me
Maybe it's the best thing
Maybe it's the best thing for you
But it's the worst that could happen to me

anyway, if i'm being too obscure...read btwn the lines, and don't take me too seriously...i love playing a part and i love getting back in my street clothes and walking out the back door after i'm done...

and then don't take me too casually either...i don't play just any old part and i don't play opposite just any old actor...


sounds: interpol...hands away , obstacle 2 , leif erikson
drugs: ha!
anticipation: 5 days at kripalu
appreciation: figure it out
quandry: too late for that
