High Upon His Virtuous Mount

IMG_9133 (2).jpeg


From high upon his virtuous mount
The stone king delivered his icy edict
He cast-out his heart’s desire
The queen of the sun, wind, and tides

The queen was a beauty
But tempestuous, mercurial
Exciting, creative, but not to be tamed
Forever coming and going
The love she had for the king
Was split in two and shared with the moon

How can foundations form, sediments stratify
if they are eternally stirred up
taken to and fro,
demanded the king
do not vex me so, settle or leave
for I can bear your tremors no more

The emotional waves of constant chaos
Had overwhelmed his heart

The weeping queen did as he bid
Departed the realm
Calm and stillness returned
but all warmth left too

The stone king’s heart froze
became a crystalline dam
If he allowed it to warm, let go
Emotional torrents would flood his land once again
This he knew

Still, stoic, and steadfast
He'd remained up high on his virtuous mount

Chaos had been banished
Sediments were not stirred
Ice did not melt
Welled-tears became glaciers
Foundations were cemented
The land remained still

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah


lyrics Leonard Cohen

Now for the eclipse of science and democracy that has gone on for two years and counting.

Despite what you might have been led to think, I am NOT actually AVX; rather pro testing and quality development; pro medical ethics: informed consent and relative risk assessments. Once we have a quality VX; I am pro giving it to ANYONE in the whole wide world that wants it and would benefit from it, regardless of the ability to pay for it.

I'm not Anti-science. I want more of it. Way More. I'm not even anti-genetic treatments. (That's what the jabs really are) I am pro testing them sufficiently, and a little bit more to make sure they are indeed medicine and not poison. You know who is AVX ... anti-science ... the greedy bunch that has packaged a middling and somewhat risky genetic treatment as a vaccine and coerced in on billions of people.

Well-developed vaccines save lives; corruption, systemic(unintended) or criminal, of the vaccine industry does not. Corruption, including its more heightened form, tyranny, claims lives. Medical ethics, un-biased science and the truth preserves them. We are talking relatively but we talking in the 100's of million and now perhaps billions.

Japan was catching them up on this kind all the time. (Moderna) I have always marvelled at how billions of doses of a novel product could be manufactured so quickly. Right. Hydras and metallic precipitates in vials, anyone? Operation Warp Speed, indeed. It is almost like quality products take time. I'd tell you to look for that on the ingredients but there were NO ingredient lists offered. It blows my mind that people are still arguing for these things.

(LOL it is almost like pre-schoolers were working at that plant.)

Rain falls when the clouds become heavy
Puddles evaporate when they become light
Liquid becomes solid in the cold
Ice melts when the air warms

Water does not need to be told
It needs no forethought
It follows its nature

Its essence is present in every molecule
In every molecule is the Tao


IMG_9131 (1).jpeg


Embody the Tao
Strength will present itself when needed
Plenty will fall like rain

The evaporation of form and blood to spirit
Will mimic the ease of puddle to cloud

All things end in the Tao
She is where they begin too
