Lizard Juice

A field of Vision, what we see, encompassed by Mind.  A field of Sound - what we hear - encompassed by Mind.  Rustling hogweeds and rattling stalks of dry wild plants - a beautiful field overlooking the rolling sea.  Universal/Unique experiential flux.

This Is The Same As That

A very green sea today.  Actually it was made of Turquoise.  Molten stuff surged and white waves dotted the dark rolling ocean under the windy sky – the world spun then and has not stopped since.  Was that a crinoid stirring?  A pymp-bys starfish spinning, radiating?

This is the Samizdat

Extraordinary and perplexing phenomena manifesting in molten hypogeal flux up at Chy-an-Brae in the granitic hinterland of Penwithershins, clasped within the clutching claw of Cernyw.  Chapter 24, the penultimate chapter of ‘The Journal of Elias Gillpington’ is featured in Issue 70 of ‘The Caterpillar – A Visionary Ghetto Tabloid’.  Enjoy irresponsibly.

What is sweeter than mead? – Intimate conversation.

What is blacker than the raven? – Death.

What is whiter than snow? – Truth.

What is swifter than the wind? – Thought.

What is sharper than the  sword? – Understanding.

What is lighter than a spark? – The mind of a woman between two men.
