twenty six is the ideal size for a group. thirteen men and thirteen women. and multiples of that. if you keep hearing it described as a community (as in the something something community, or the what have you community) that grouping is, as such, quite likely evil and irredeemable. revolutionaries tear down walls, visionaries climb them during the end of the world it's still easy to have a good time, but having a good space, very difficult some roots in flowing water, others in firm earth i don't go often, but when i do, i'm there faith as a mustard seed, works as a mustard sauce let him who is without stones cast the first sin optimism leaves no space for hope anthropological pluralist the modern concept of celtic, that includes so many different things and is often completely unrelated to the tribes and cultures to which the name originally applied, is so coherent, and so strong, that surely there is a high god of celtichood, or is it goddess, that is all these things and binds them. probably goddess actually. and like every deity, it comes with its own devil, or sometimes egregore. please repeat after me ~ history Time likes to hang out at Space's house and play music only the elect are guilty of original sin ~ from reading this post reality is characters and stories more than it is concepts and formulas the more you know yourself, the more mysterious you'll be to others scattered when i cast the net focused when i gut the fish at ease when i sit down to eat we're long past the point in the west where it makes any sense to speak of political corruption, or even treason. it goes so far beyond all that. all the way down to hell. like jumping off a tall bridge, once we take a leap of faith there is no avoiding the consequence. even if we change our mind mid fall, it's too late, we'll hit the water. then we learn to swim, or build an ark, or become light enough to walk on water. or drown, if the fall didn't kill us. i'd rather seduce nature than subdue it. the latter is no way to treat a lady. social justice warriors are just war socialists everything i write is a practical manual to survive and thrive in the last days, and it comes with a disclaimer: do not try this outside the home where the heart is the people whose names ended up in the bible knew they were in biblical times. do you i honestly think that with enough alcohol, i could have had a musical career. they tell you credit comes from creed, but say debit has no relation to doubt. sounds fishy. one day, some of you will be proud to say you knew me before i was infamous looking forward to it in the rear view mirror that was back when i was stupid, i don't do that anymore kids know how small they are, that's why their world is so large. i don't want to take it to the next level, let it go on its own the ends hyphenate the means if you look at God as a gardener, you see men and women as trees. and after a few years of attention and care, a tree either grows itself properly and gives fruit, or is pruned agressively to do so, or is allowed to die. this goes for individuals, families and nations. you don't have to grow up. that's the half truth that kills the inner child. you have to grow in all directions.
I have Ivanka Demchuk's *Resurrection* hanging in my room.

Twenty-six? How do you come up with these absurdly large numbers?
