Rhosgobel Tent At TOT

[Catsquotl]

You have been so wonderful, my friend. You bring aesthetic/beauty to the Tent. Please, feel my gratitude.

[Catsquotl]

On a different note. This years pitfest will not start today, But for those into dark deathmetal, grindcore and punk.
Here's the link to the lousy livestream..(Yes I got the t-shirt)

Will go on for another 10 to 12 hours or so.

I always practice safety with matches Modwiz. And I don't breathe fire. I promise.

Something woke me up from a deep sleep of weirdly magickal dreams. Actually, it was a someone more than a something. I was surprised to see that I awoke at the exact moment I received a message from a dear friend asking if I would follow the light into the tent. Well, I wasn't really sure if I should do that, so I picked up my cards. I drew Modwiz, lol, the X of Pentacles. I still wasn't sure, so I pulled the Angel of Sweet Shyness. Yes, that is how it is. I protect my light, but find safe spaces. Isn't Wisdom a wonderful, albeit expensive, acquisition? It is so good to see those of you I once knew!

Okay, I have taken a few deep breaths of this energy. I have left some as well. Time to get on with 3D. Oh, by the way, as I walked through the tent in sweet peace, I picked up the bucket of faery dust. This time, Modwiz, I filled it for you.

Much Love,

[Lord Sidious]

Gosh Modwiz, you make me feel so welcome, lol! Such an underwhelming response. xxx

Yar, somewhere in the mists of time your Lordship. Hope you are well. xxx

FFS, I responded to Lord Sidious and it ended up here, oh well. Gotta learn how this works all over again. Sorry.

You're in good company here.
Some people are still workin on english, let alone typin it...............

Much Love,

So very good to wake up and see this post from you and smile in amazement and delight. And, echo what Aragorn asked as to what magic is working here. Because surely, magic is happening.

Clearly, a call has gone out to convene another gathering. Or, at least a greet-fest.

[Catsquotl]

Magical indeed.

Thank you 1inmany to come take a look at this place that somehow remains as an oasis of peace and wonder in an otherwise confusing world of funny posts.
With the moon now growing towards her fullness again, I can only hope we may fill ourselves on these peaceful shores a little while longer..

With Love

Much Love,

Second reply to you. 3-D is where Life and love happens. Just finished a wonderful night with a friend over a few beers and great/respectful conversations. By respect, I mean respecting each others intellect and uniqueness. A celebration of friendship that is not just a social convenience or remedy to isolation.

Hugs hello and hugs goodbye. Old school human interactions.

I can live no other way because that would not be life to me. Joining the ancestors would be preferable to what is currently being proposed as the new normal.

Magical indeed.

Very well said. I can feel you, brother.

♪ Meanwhile back in the year one
When you belonged to no-one
You didn't stand a chance son
If your pants were undone.
'Cause you were bred for humanity
And sold to society
One day you'll wake up
In the present day
A million generations
Removed from expectations of
Being who you really want to be.

Skating away,
Skating away
Skating away
On the thin ice of the new day.

So as you push off from the shore
Won't you turn your head once more
And make your peace with everyone?
For those who choose to stay
Will live just one more day
To do the things they should have done.
And as you cross the wilderness
Spinning in your emptiness:
You feel you have to pray.
Looking for a sign that the universal mind has written you into the passion play.

Skating away,
Skating away
Skating away
On the thin ice of the new day.

And as you cross the circle line
The ice-wall creaks behind
You're a rabbit on the run.
And the silver splinters fly
In the corner of your eye
Shining in the setting sun.
Well, do you ever get the feeling that the story's too damn real and in the present
tense?
Or that everybody's on the stage,
And it seems like you're the only person
Sitting in the audience?

Skating away,
Skating away
Skating away
On the thin ice of the new day,
Skating away,
Skating away,
Skating away ♪

This must be one of my favorite Tull songs. If not the One.
Thank you Gio for the blast from a past.

Oh its pants, I always heard patterns are undone.
I'll stand by that though..

I will not embarrass Gio by lauding him overmuch but, he has a genius for the forum medium. And, for anyone paying attention, the love that is shown in a very subtle way. However, his love is anything but subtle.

There are good people on this forum. Gio earned the spotlight, this time.

If any one thinks I am being mushy, they can kiss my ass. There, that should dispel the mushy part.

[Gio]

Thanks Rad, that's a heaping compliment ...

Though back in prep school, i was often referred to as a geniass by my prefects...
I never considered myself quite fit for the established educational system ...
But eventually overcame my lifetime struggle with Dyslexia/Dysgraphia ...
Finally finishing my degrees as an adult of 48 ...
Like yourself i choose to do it in my own way ...

PS ~ i am so happy to see this lovely back and forth banter once again here at TOT !

[Emil El Zapato]

ForWhatever It's Worth Gio, some of the best minds I've worked with were Dyslexic.. Coincidence, I finished my degradations at 48 also. My terminal degree was a GDG. God Damn Good... That was a joke I use to tell my ex and my stepdaughter. We're a generation of drop-ins anywho.

[Catsquotl]

It's been a wonderful reflective day today..

Hope yours have been treating you evenly kind.

With Love
Eelco
