The butterfly soars way over our heads
It has no intention of ever reaching the stars
Or of becoming one
.
The earthworm digs deep under our feet
It knows better than to think, that someday
it might just reach the center
and find itself
.
Man amuses himself with challenges
due to circumstances
then he experiments
.
God experiments with Man
and challenges His amusements
regardless of the circumstances

Uncle Tree's House 
God has a carrot for a detective
Man makes an ass of himself
In depth we do part….
Hey K, I need a feed…log a blog or sumpin.
In the shallows
the fish bite your ass.
Part one, part two,
but God forbid part three.
Ed, I’m glad you said
sumpin. I don’t blog
my log, sorry. Carrot?
Fit’s man perfectly.
Amazing, congratulations, you really excel yourself, through the text I can see how you are feeling inside, what state your mind is. I like it because it is not a light poem, neither a happy one, nevertheless it does not express anger/hate (which is the easiest path in life).
Beautiful description of life.
Thank you, Mariana.
Fyi, I wrote that on April 9, 2003.
But your right. I had that same old feeling again,
so up she went. Took like 5 minutes. I like that. Needed it, perhaps.
One of these days, I’ll learn to take my own advice.
Albeit, with a grain or two of salt. I was younger then. 😉
Concerning personal amusement:
In this weird-ass life of mine,
every so often,
without me asking for it,
memories will bring back an old song
as if someone in my head
knows what I need to hear and,
somehow, keeps coming up
with something appropriate
Yesterday, it was “Levon”
by Sir Elton John
Jesus wants to go to Venus ~
this is wonderful,
i love the happy way with which your words go.
Thank you very much, D! Nice to meet you!
I LOVE Levon!!! Hi UT…hope this Monday morn finds you full of love and laughter 🙂
Fresh carrots from my patch! God is pointing us up. Chew well before you swallow 😉
Thanks for pointing out the video link that’s no longer working!
Search engines don’t like to come across errors like that.
“From the vault,” as they say. I like reading these old ones
once in awhile. And the comments. I have a carrot to answer to now.
Monday morning laughter? LoL We went to 9 hour days this week.
So I get up at 4:15. Do you laugh that early? 😉
Super-Carrot-Man to the rescue! Top dog takes top Spot!
“God has a carrot for a detective
Man makes an ass of himself

The price of “depth charges” have gone up!
Just like every other vegetative state,
Ukraine is not pleased with Russia’s scythe.
Chop! Chop! 😉 Chow down.
Not generally UT…that is pretty early. I always hear about that time being the most creative time…not so sure. If I see that hour it is probably because I gave been up all night…no…not partying…those days are.long gone!! Most likely insomnia 🙂 Glad I pointed out the bad video link…I think!
Will everyday be a 4:15 wake up call? If so…you better go to bed! 🙂
Oh, heck. I’ll get to bed by 9, or so. Catch up with a nap
on the weekend, if needed. I do celebrate, but rarely party. 😉
Have a good night, girl! Peace and luvz, Keith
🙂 Thanks UT…hope you dream about something awesome !!
There is a shortage of carrots in Ukraine, so I believe, Unc….very rocky earth. Well chewed carrot is so vital to the eye. It was actually the carrot juice in Jesus’ spittle that clarified the mud and cured the blind man. Meanwhile, Putin, the great chessmaster plays, on through the night and the carrots duck. There’s a quack where the light comes in. Oh yes, Putin has a keen eye and a keen edge, and a reverence, for the early riser. Odin comes in and waves……grim entit 😉
Odin waves a power surge! Subway train alarm hits the brakes.
Train derails in tunnel — 275 feet deep.
10 Russians mortally wounded, 50 more in critical condition.
I read you, Ed. Gulp! Kelp grew green eyes in salty sea. Yes?
That butterfly doesn’t want to become a star because it is sufficient for him that he and the star are parts of the Oneness. 🙂
Well-stated, Inese. 🙂 Thank you much!
But what if he’s a metaphor for awakening 😉
Then Sir Butterfly already knows he has a star within.
Those who don’t know, still wish to be a star without
burning up everything close them, like their groupies. 😉
Inherent is the knowing that the Fee is nix
Sometimes in the burning we learn new tricks
Rising on the thermals of our winter underwear
Suddenly as butterflies we birdies don’t care 😉
LoL 🙂 I can’t top “winter underwear”. Knot from down here.
Who knows what kind of s-p-a-m I’ll get from those two words?
Perhaps this should be the first line of a graduation speech:
The earthworm digs deep under our feet
It knows better than to think, that someday
it might just reach the center
and find itself
But then you won’t be invited back.
I never thought of that, George. 🙂 Good thing I’ve never been asked.
Fyi, when I was 14, I was a State runner-up in the yearly oratory contest
sponsored by The Optimist Club. That does make me qualified to preach, eh?
Have a great weekend! Cheerz from the lowdown dirty-rooted tree, UT
Good win! At 14 I would have been incapable of speaking to anyone on anything.
Thank you, my love! ❤ Were that life was so simple. Huggerzzz, UT
