full court press

[LHX]

at first
he thought there was no way he could shoulder the load
but
after shifting the weight distribution on his back
he was able to carry it beyond his destination

with ease



2 people working toward the same end are already working together by default




his prayers were answered in the form of a question
in this regard a dialogue was formed

it is said that throughout his days he was always mentally active
and encouraged thoughtfulness among those with whom he crossed paths





a hard head leads to your ass getting beat





he understood that taking on the responsibility would suggest his imminent demise
he hesitated on this for some time
but in the end - the alternative was far worse





throughout his days - he met a number of people who were unafraid of death
but
it grew clear after some time that this had nothing to do with pain
and that pain - by definition - was not enjoyable without exception

pain requires one to pay attention

because it is so demanding - it is avoided at all costs by a people who resent being told what to do





the lesson of pain is humility





he tilted her 23 degrees on her axis and shone down for half a day before she turned over





we die laughing
not at anything in particular
its just that the situation is ridiculous





i know a guy who tricked himself so well that he forgot that he tricked himself
and every time he thinks that maybe he tricked himself
he says "No way. That's nonsense. How the fuck could I have done that?"






if you find yourself facing something that you need to do
and you find yourself not wanting to do it
the only real choice you have is to trap yourself

one of the great lessons of fasting is that the lack of food and energy causes one to determine what actions are important and significant
and which actions can be done without

this is one of many examples of how a person can trap himself






another way of trapping yourself is to continually get yourself into situations where you are in over your head or you feel your life is at stake





it is possible that the end objective is actually to find a way to keep going

[Payne]

This is not the means to an end.

The end IS the means.


When you are in the middle of a desert, any direction you walk IS the path.

It's good to see you back, LHX

Also, I believe I recall seeing around here mentions of you doing spoken word stuff? Cause I dig how your writing style always has a nice beat to it. I can hear it being spoken in my head, a nice rhythm... Makes it very fun to read.

I really like a lot of what you're saying here.

I'm really enjoying rolling this around in my head. Really nicely done.

[Cramulus]

I really like this.

his prayers were answered in the form of a question
in this regard a dialogue was formed

The voice this is written in reminds me of the scene in A Scanner Darkly when the guy is trying to kill himself with pills and wine, and the voiceover is narrating his actions.

I think a few illustrations would really compliment this piece.

throughout his days - he met a number of people who were unafraid of death
but
it grew clear after some time that this had nothing to do with pain
and that pain - by definition - was not enjoyable without exception

I think the double-negative in line 2 here is confusing.

pain requires one to pay attention

because it is so demanding - it is avoided at all costs by a people who resent being told what to do

the lesson of pain is humility

great stanza here

he tilted her 23 degrees on her axis and shone down for half a day before she turned over

Another great image

we die laughing
not at anything in particular
its just that the situation is ridiculous

sympathy there, brotha

if you find yourself facing something that you need to do
and you find yourself not wanting to do it
the only real choice you have is to trap yourself

one of the great lessons of fasting is that the lack of food and energy causes one to determine what actions are important and significant
and which actions can be done without

this is one of many examples of how a person can trap himself

very reminiscent of one of my favorite passages from Illuminatus
where the guy gets rid of all his stuff and becomes homeless to escape the trap of money
and puts glass in his shoes to escape the trap of fear of pain



good stuff dude

But maybe that was necessary to save the universe? I mean IT WAS saved at the end, wasn't it?

However, this piece is great work LHX, thx for reminding me why i come to this page from time to time
