my mind begins to hum...

[the fire elf]

there is nothing superhuman about me and my activities...

i deal with issues within myself and within my context in society

do not clutch for safety or sureness through me

i am but one lone man
cast upon dirt and tumbled by wind

i fall back on meditation

as it soothes the ridges of my perplexities

i use information

as it comprises all known discourse

time and time again, i long

time and time again, it changes

do not sink your anchor of hopes

my hands are full...

i shan't catch it

[the fire elf]

however i do catch dreams...

and some dreams come from deeply releasing psychological stress,

while other dreams do not.

and through the course of things,
to base one's actions on released stress itself
would be a misappropriation of efforts...

bubbling up from within,
it would merely expound the nature of the stress
and likely cause variations more from the environment


but caught from the universe

stylized in import

there is a vast difference in quality

[mayavin]

are the others to be left undreamt?

[third person perspective]

and what of the ones who seek an aspiriant none other could supply?

[the fire elf]

shall there be pieces doled out to each?
even when they function best as one?

what of manhood
and wrought beginnings?

what of my form
placed where it functions best?
next to perceptible femininity
and unabashed gazes.

why stumble with the world,
when i can stand by one and change it?

[mayavin]

what of the ones who would take a lathe to the psyche,
to create a transendental conversation piece?

they do not even imagine they hold the tool in their hands
as they look for aspects not befitting.

such makes workful drunkards
paradies of full potential
if looks are to the flaws

cast a net
drop a line
to see what in actuality is there

do hearts sing in wonder of their circumstance?

or do they lay cold and numb
like a disembodied thumb?

[the fire elf]

dejavu is a shock to the system
as we are used to experiencing change

repetitiveness is practice
as life-experience is gained from apprehending varieties

thusly is my heart shielded from pangs:
i do not beat on careless things with it

To grasp mentally; understand

[the fire elf]

i have fulfilled an obligation i had set before myself...

i am released from a drama

[mayavin]

back to the navy with ye'!

leaves over, time for work

[the fire elf]

ay!

but the equipment would'nt pass a piss test

[the fire elf]

something less regulated, perhaps?

[third person perspective]

by process of elimination, seems armed forces are out, prior matrimony that scuttled is out, and persistive noncreative activities are out

[third person perspective]

not really feeling compelled to present the kind of picture that would impel people to throw money at it...


Asceticism prevails?

minimizes their living expenses in order to spend more time and
effort on their art.

Eccentric inventors sometimes live similar lives in pursuit of technical
rather than artistic goals

"Hackers" often consider their programming projects to be more
important than personal wealth or comfort.

Nietzsche describes how such a paradoxical action as asceticism might
serve the interests of life: through asceticism one can attain mastery over
oneself.

I do not speak to the weak: they want to obey and generally lapse into
slavery quickly. In the face of merciless nature, let us still feel ourselves
as merciless nature! But I have found strength where one does not look
for it: in simple, mild, and pleasant people, without the least desire to
rule—and, conversely, the desire to rule has often appeared to me a sign
of inward weakness: they fear their own slave soul and shroud it in a
royal cloak (in the end, they still become the slaves of their followers,
their fame, etc.) The powerful natures dominate, it is a necessity, they
need not lift one finger. Even if, during their lifetime, they bury
themselves in a garden house!

Physiologists should think before putting down the instinct of self-
preservation as the cardinal instinct of an organic being. A living thing
seeks above all to discharge its strength — life itself is will to power; self-
preservation is only one of the indirect and most frequent results.

My idea is that every specific body strives to become master over all
space and to extend its force (—its will to power) and to thrust back all
that resists its extension. But it continually encounters similar efforts on
the part of other bodies and ends by coming to an arrangement ("union")
with those of them that are sufficiently related to it: thus they then
conspire together for power. And the process goes on.

The Hopi communities are all over the desert. They live with clans of
relatives. The male members of the clan used kivas as underground
rooms inside their houses. Some Hopi's earned money from carving,
painting, weaving baskets, jewelry, and pottery. Some of the Hopi's
continue to follow traditions from their old way of life.

The Hopi ate many foods. They ate things like melons, gourds, corn,
peaches, and other juicy things. They also enjoyed meat, like squirrels,
gophers, rabbits, and buffalo. The men planted and harvested the crops.
The women grinded the blue corn to make Piki bread. The Hopi also ate
pinion cones and nuts.

There is an ongoing debate about the relationship between modernity and
present societies. The debate has two dimensions. First, there is an
empirical question of whether some of the present societies can be
understood as a developmental continuation of modernity (see late
modernity), a variation of modernity (see hypermodernity), or as a
distinctive type (see postmodernity). Second, there is a judgement of
whether modernization has been, and is, desirable for a society.
Seemingly new phenomena such as globalization, the end of the Cold
War, ethnic conflicts, and the proliferation of information technologies are
taken by some as reasons to adopt a new vision to navigate social
development. However modernity came with a structure of self-
determination which is greatly seen in contemporary societies.

Behavioral modernity is a term used in anthropology and archeology to
refer to an important milestone in the evolution of humans. It is a loosely
defined list of traits that distinguish humans and their recent ancestors
from both living primates and various fossil hominids. It is the point at
which homo sapiens began to demonstrate its reliance on abstract thought
and to express cultural creativity. As of 2004, many date its emergence to
between 90,000 and 50,000 years ago, and place its origins in Africa (in
opposition to earlier claims of its European origins).

Cultural universals are the key elements shared by all groups of people
throughout the history of man. Examples of elements that may be
considered cultural universals are language, religion, art, music,
marriage, gender roles, the incest taboo, myth, cooking, games, and
jokes. These traits distinguish homo sapiens from other species. Since
cultural universals are found in all cultures including some of the most
isolated indigenous groups, scientists believe that these traits must have
evolved or have been invented in Africa prior to the exodus.

In his dictionary, Samuel Johnson states that the original meaning of wit
is "the powers of the mind; the mental faculties; the intellects"; he also
defines wit as "quickness of fancy", among the nine definitions. In
Webster's Dictionary, wit is defined as "the association of ideas in a
manner natural, but unusual and striking, so as to produce surprise joined
with pleasure".

keep your wits about you, woman...

for example, look to war...

it is not the bodies themselves which pose threat...

it's the wit and will enclosed/seeping out

wit stands in understanding

proactive improvised countermeasures are in accordance with their current understanding

wit's at bomb's length can make for an undesirable situation...

such is the intention behind the act

political dealings of wit are set up to fail,
in as much as the application of wits do not serve the reality of the situation

Wit in poetry is characteristic of metaphysical poetry as a style, and was
prevalent in the time of English playwright Shakespeare, who admonished
pretension with the phrase "Better a witty fool than a foolish wit". It may
combine word play with conceptual thinking, as a kind of verbal display
requiring attention, without intending to be laugh-aloud funny; in fact wit
can be a thin disguise for more poignant feelings that are being versified.

or does it have it's own girth

In Slavic mythology, Svarog (Polish: Swaróg, Cyrillic: Сварог, Sorbian:
Schwayxtix) is the Slavic Sun God and spirit of fire; his name means
bright and clear. The name originates from Sankrit Svarga and Persian
xwar (pron. Chvar) both meaning the same thing, indicating Indo-
European etymological relation. So sacred was the fire that it was
forbidden to shout or swear at it while it was being lit. Folklore portrays
him as a fire serpent, a winged dragon that breathes fire. According to
some interpretations the fire-god Svarogich was the son of Svarog.
However, other sources refer to these names as one and the same god of
fire.

The etymology of the word Svarog is likely to be Slavic svar (bright and clear).

Phallic saints were actual saints or local deities who were invoked for
fertility. More than vulgar representations of the phallus, phallic saints
were benevolent symbols of prolificacy and reproductive fruitfulness, and
objects of reverence and especial worship among barren women and
young girls. Many were legitimate saints who acquired their priapic
attributes through the process of folk-etymology.

Some examples include:

Ters, or St. Ters, of Antwerp, whose cult was reported on by Johannes
Goropius Becanus. He was also named Semini or God Jumenas.

Saints Cosmas and Damian, twin physicians, one of whose cult-centers
was Isernia, near Naples.

Saint Guignolé (Winwaloe), first Abbot of Landévennec, who acquired his
priapic status by confusion of his name with gignere (Fr. engendrer, "to
beget"). His shrine was not destroyed until 1793.

Saint Foutin, by assimilation of the name of Pothin (Pothinus), first bishop
of Lyon, to the verb foutre (“to fuckâ€
