the wind

[dendro]

After all the jacks are in their boxes
And the clowns have all gone to bed
You can hear happiness staggering on down the street
Footprints dressed in red
And the wind whispers Mary

A broom is drearily sweeping
Up the broken pieces of yesterday's life
Somewhere a queen is weeping
Somewhere a king has no wife
And the wind, it cries Mary


The traffic lights they turn up blue tomorrow
And shine their emptiness down on my bed
The tiny island sags downstream
'Cause the life that lived is, is dead
And the wind screams Mary

Will the wind ever remember
The names it has blown in the past
And with his crutch, it's old age, and it's wisdom
It whispers no, this will be the last
And the wind cries Mary

very cool, dendro

One of my all time favorite songs, Jimi was a poet on top of everything else.

[AliceTepes]

After all the jacks are in their boxes
And the clowns have all gone to bed
You can hear happiness staggering on down the street
Footprints dressed in red
And the wind whispers Mary

this first block of lyrics is by far my favorite, I remember when I first heard it(I think I was 13ish) and I misunderstood what Jimi was saying. I thought he said "after all the jets are in their boxes and the clouds have all gone to bed" even not understanding it properly, it blew my mind at the time.

[dendro]

yeah Alice I know what you mean hehe...

The lyrics are a little hard to pick out in the record. But no matter, it moves like a wild thang...

[JRL]

It's just a little 3 minute slice of pure genius.

The lyric is really meaningful when you put it in the context of his mother passing away.
The wind seems to be a reoccurring metaphor for all the people we have lost.

Many great artists realized the atemporality of their lives. Some of the chose tacitly or expliicitly to eave early. One place I differ from buddhists about the life and rebirth cycle slighty... remember the supreme dhrma. We all have wor kto do. Put down the reincarnation, forget about the intocicaxnts and.live a full life. Imagine a world wher john lennon is still making music with george harrison. I blame yoko. Just hear the whit album for the first time. Anywho we as a species are 3 things.
Sentient
Atemporal

As I've said befoe I go a little grrek of you pefer kurzwel \ libinetz .. if essece preceds exisctance thought creates amd acively manifests Our reality is soft and vey malliable. Sure we have som basic laws like quantum movememt of waveicals and and graity but they are jusst parameters, guidlienes. Changeablw with enough coolective will

[Arjuna]

On a literary note, m\ry is like poes lanore. A sybbol of sex and death.

Met an 'experianced' teen onc. 19 of our hears but way older soul. Closer to buddahood, christ conciousness.. etc. She doenst see yet but she will

[Arjuna]

Not tp create mor mindstreams to the venereted poet, vinter, an3 ime rock star. Maynard had some thing to say about his mother in10000 days. If you have ableton or audicity play 10000 days, wings for marie part 1 and to at excatly the same time it creates a completly new track. Right when the holy trinity meet.. when all the songsanded her splash in cresendo... backwards satanic message. Very boardsy I think he's afraid of where'd his mom's beliefs landed her.holy teinity or the fce of the devil. Was is the devil except th force tha t kills usc we could. Live. Twice our current lifesp.an if we ate cleaner, stopped using okl and have a generatkin of negative populoation growth. . All based on compassion and ahimsa. Maye throw some dubsgtep in there for some entertainment. Either that or knit biolgy, particularly blu green alge with nanfilament and stem cells to grow anyhting from a carrot to a kidney. We have the technologhy just not the will

Anyone wanna try to live like a bhodisatthwa?

[dendro]

"Anyone wanna try to live like a bodhisatthwa?"

sounds like work, and I suck at trying. 

But the idea of all the immortality and eternal life appeals in some odd way. Don't know why, just cuz I'm greedy, maybe?

But if I lived long in the physical, I would take the opportunity for service, at least token. 

I'm told by Masters that when yogis sit in samadhi, they raise the planetary vibration. So some people hang around for a while in samadhi, instead of dropping their sheaths.

On a high forever to fly
wind velocity nil
On a high forever to fly
if ya want your cup I will fill

o so mello

The Wind is a very fickle fellow,
blows all my dreams away....
The Wind is a very fickle fellow,
blows all my dreams away, blows all my dreams away...

Blowin' all my dreams away,
blowin' all my dreams away.

Magic Sun, Donovan

In the chilly hours and minutes of uncertainty,
I want to be in the warm heart of your loving mind.
To feel you all around me,
And to take your hand along the sand,
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.

When sundown pales the sky,
I want to hide a while behind your smile,
And everywhere I look your eyes I find.
For me to love you now, would be the sweetest thing,
T'would make me sing,
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.

When rain has hung the leaves with tears,
I want you near, to kill my fears,
To help me to leave all my blues behind.
Standing in your heart is where I want to be
And long to be,
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.

Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.

Jimi changed the course of the world.  We need more souls like his.
