hI big,

haven’t been to your site in awhile. Wonderful stuff.

Parallel experiences and thoughts abound in my life. About a month ago one of our local radio personalities was chatting on air with a guest, she said something like “why do people always have to pull out this stern Yaweh type persona, why can’t people be more like dogs, you know, just going around saying “woof woof, wanna play?”‘. And if they don’t, no problem, just brush it off and go look for somebody else”.

So simple, but it hit me like a ton of bricks. Just about every day since then, as I mix with people during the day I am thinking, “Hi, I’m alive, wanna play?”. Thanks

Sometimes when you talk about not getting involved in politics and making the change happen through changing yourself my mind rebels and I go through all of the reasons why this doesn’t work. But, when you discuss the Earth shaking importance of juggling I’m totally there.

This video helped me click my understanding of both worlds into place. It’s Manly P. Hall and every moment is a revelation. And, if you’ve ever wondered what Evangelical Christianity had to offer people watch this. The old people I met as a child in various store front churches in Chicago and ‘Country People’ I met at a bible college in Arizona had this type of spiritual power too.

A real treat to see you in action on Sunday and talking for a bit., Tim.
I’ve been meaning to get that guitar of mine out again, and you gave me some inspiration. So thanks!

What I meant to say before I diverged into talk of murder etc. was that this post is beautiful, like Ted said, and it reminded me of the last two beautiful days we’ve had here in Chicago. They were the first two really warm days this year and were enjoyed by all, gangbangers included. All types of people from all walks of life came out and we made our own festival on every street corner and bus stop and everyone was happy. The End.

MUCH better luck this time. My conspiratorial mind thinks it’s all a spell cast to provide death and destruction. It worked.

Here it has to do with left vs. right. People have been killed in false flagging incidents so I don’t want to give out bad info. Last year I tried to find the guidebook to the symbols but didn’t get good results.

Everything is a gang sign. When a lot of people do a thing, they give it a common meaning. I’ve always heard that the gang usage of the pant leg evolved out of riding BMX bikes in the first place.

at the Sowebo (South West Baltimore) Festival

When I read this I saw that at some point in the future I’ll be standing in a festival in Chicago next to a woman who saw you juggle in Baltimore. By the time it happens I’ll have forgotten about seeing it though. If I remember I’ll let you know when it happens.

If you come to Chicago to juggle don’t roll up only one pant leg, it’s a gang sign. Do both or neither.
