Wee Wisdom (37)

aphorisms and short reflections

the Tao:
does not compete
is not compatible 
does not compute






give or take everyone's on the take and it's got to give



animals i'd be: a raccoon on the earth, a shrew under it, a shark in the ocean, a vulture in the sky



everything is intentional. but it's not always our intention.




people ask how pandas survive in the wild, given how many videos we have of them acting so silly and with complete disregard for safety. but much like orangutans, they have seen their native habitats destroyed and corrupted, and they are gentle creatures that know the Tao, and see no point in living if it's not honorably. any animal put in a cage, no matter how fancy, will be more careless about his life, because it doesn't mean as much. but it's worse for creatures like pandas and orangutans, because they are loners, they need space, and are instead crammed into these overly social places.





paper countries cannot stand the blood of nations





he was madly in love, she was lovely in madness





never paid much attention to catalan, but it's quite insane and cute. a short sentence can have four or five parts, and one sounds castillian, another portuguese/galician, another french, and another italian. but it can sound beautiful and coherent. i know this for sure now.






how absurd to believe 
that of all lords, it would be 
the lord of all who had no lady





if i was rich i'd have a giant music room with every instrument imaginable. i would also hire great musicians to come play private sets.





God doesn't give you more than you can handle. but other people do. i suppose some people give themselves more than they can handle too. but not me. because i'm not crazy. i take it easy. i just want to be happy and free with those i love.





maybe the big picture and long term goal of losing sight of differences is to make them starker




if you have an inner life, ask if it wants to come out into the world, and how. then listen and let your hands take over.




don't let your hands do all the talking, talk to your hands. our hands do a lot for us. and maybe you're not a talker. but at least say thank you every once in a while.




if they never asked, 
the answer will mean 
even less than the question




when i'm not in the zone, i don't think about the zone. that's how i get to the zone.



maybe the higher purpose of online connections is for us to be able to find each other in the middle space between death and resurrection, where we're only spirit souls, so that we can decide if we want to be born again in the flesh together.




i refused early on to have my metaphysics defined by the moral retards who run everything. whatever the truth is, it's not what they tell you.




we don't need to struggle with the word nature. just say it, Nature, and listen for leaves in the wind, water trickling, birdsong. you know exactly who she is. accept it.




at heart, i am a cynic. but since unbelievable things have happened to me and been proven to be true, i am a cynic also about my cynicism.




if you make a website, you should make it look outdated, cause everything online looks like shit nowadays




the muses are people. and you can't chain people. they are free. but you shouldn't worry about losing them. even if they never sing to me again, it was a beautiful affair, and it led to very good things.




cheating on the muses with my wife




i'm more portuguese than human




you should trust your gut on everything except for food




i've been in love so i know that it is butterflies in your belly and not chemicals in your brain. i don't know how to make the nerds believe me though.




where do i see myself 
in a thousand years. 
wherever she is




i have reasons to be happy and reasons to be sad. i'm happy about the former and sad about the latter. what else is there



heaven opened almost two thousand years ago with Jesus, and the gods had been preparing it for a while before that, so i can only imagine how old and tall and majestic the trees growing there are.



ahead of my time, like in the old days




my lord, the things people believe to deny what they see



if you write aphorisms, compile your stuff and make it available on paper. this is how we make the book of proverbs for the next world. trust me. the engravings and illuminations and caligraphy came after. i think if we really want to do something we need to understand and work with the specific constraints and opportunities of our time.




How can you say that with a straight face, Well luckily my whole body is straight




i'm not a perfectionist, i'm a ressurrectionist




no end to my troubles is no trouble to my ends




we're putting out a magazine with stories so you don't have to take your cellphone to the toilet. it's going to be simple. and as cheap as i can make it. but i would rather people print it out themselves rather than buy it, cause it's more fun. it'll be stories only. no poetry, no essays. and will only include people that first published online because it shows willingness to finish things and put oneself out there. my aim is to put out a bunch of them. we’ll mostly include stuff already online. i know it's counter intuitive. why publish something that's already out there. but everything is already out there. so what. is it cool. and can you use it to level a table. those are the real questions. swat some flies with it. you can't swat flies with a story published online. think about that.




i don't have mental episodes, i have whole mental seasons




i live inside a giant stimulation




i don't want to hear about modernity anymore. it's beyond old news. don't you know the gods are back. that everything is enchanted and haunted now, and there are omens and signs everywhere. come on. look up, look ahead. common talking point: the gods did not return, rather they never left. but this is just not true. their absence was obvious not so long ago. religion was a thing for old people, with no vitality. even the christian gods had left. now they are back. and their influence is growing. and yes, it's not just gods either. plenty of new devils too. but evil has no substance. it does not matter. we should be aware of all of it, but focus on the good. the academics will call it 'new religiosity', but we know the truth, and call it what it is. the gods returning.




whatever is truly lost forever was never worth saving anyway




a moment of silence for those who passed away, an eternity of song for those who are born anew




my books are free to download and freeing to read




‘AI’s are only tools 
in the hands of only fools 
what can go wrong
