    Boy, howdy! You can say that again!

    Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.

      I loved the disco burning riots(Not a big fan of Disco) I was in SF for the white night riots....I remember people in Northern California worrying that the LA riots would come up the coast.

      People can be very dangerous in large numbers..I was at a thing where an ex police commissioner was running for mayor in SF,this guy was NOT liked in the Gay section the Castro,and he was doing a speech there,and it seemed like a spontaneous riot broke out,and they chased him out of the Castro(I will say I heard provocateurs in the crowd,getting the crowd worked up intentionally,so it was planed)
      MAGIC is MAGIC,black OR white or even blood RED

      all i ever wanted was a normal life and love.

        lol, you picked the one book of the Bible I pretty much know by memory...

        He's quite the Buddhist for being a son of David.
        “You have never answered but you did not need to. If I stand at the ocean I can hear you with your thousand voices. Sometimes you shout, hilarious laughter that taunts all questions. Other nights you are silent as death, a mirror in which the stars show themselves. Then I think you want to tell me something, but you never do. Of course I know I have written letters to no-one. But what if I find a trident tomorrow?" ~~Letters to Poseidon, Cees Nooteboom

        “We still carry this primal relationship to the Earth within our consciousness, even if we have long forgotten it. It is a primal recognition of the wonder, beauty, and divine nature of the Earth. It is a felt reverence for all that exists. Once we bring this foundational quality into our consciousness, we will be able to respond to our present man-made crisis from a place of balance, in which our actions will be grounded in an attitude of respect for all of life. This is the nature of real sustainability.”
        ~~Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee

        "We are the offspring of history, and must establish our own paths in this most diverse and interesting of conceivable universes--one indifferent to our suffering, and therefore offering us maximal freedom to thrive, or to fail, in our own chosen way."
        ~~Stephen Jay Gould, Wonderful Life: The Burgess Shale and the Nature of History

        "Humans are not rational creatures. Now, logic and rationality are very helpful tools, but there’s also a place for embracing our subjectivity and thinking symbolically. Sometimes what our so-called higher thinking can’t or won’t see, our older, more primitive intuition will." John Beckett
