Feminine Skies

A L O H A !
Tiny Birds at Left, Sun-Egg in Nest
 
" Mysteries 
are feminine;
 they like to veil themselves
but still want to be seen and
divined. "

Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel




Is this_
why I have been_
such a mystery_
to myself?_







"

" Debate is masculine,
 conversation
 is feminine."

Amos Bronson Alcott 


Masculine-ism
'debated' my femininity
away from the controls
of me 
for a long time.
Femininity is frivolous.
I want to be taken seriously.
Yes, they like to look,
and to touch,
BUT I am
MORE!   









" You throw like a girl! "

School Yard Taunt;
worst thing peers
can say to a boy.












" The ideal man 
bears the accidents of life
 with dignity and grace, 
making the best 
of circumstances. "

Aristotle








“ The hardest part 
has been learning how 
to take myself seriously
 when the entire world
 is constantly telling me
 that femininity is always 
inferior to masculinity. ” 

 Julia Serano


But Feminism Valued 
the Feminine, right?

" As a result
 of the feminist revolution,
 'feminine' 
becomes an abusive 
epithet. "

Wyndham Lewis







Oh


" There is nothing more rare, 
nor more beautiful,
 than a woman being
 unapologetically herself; 
comfortable in her perfect
 imperfection. 
To me, that is the true 
essence of beauty. "

 Hussein Nishah 













" I am rediscovering

 the whole sexual dimension 
of life at the age of 86, really.
And that also means discovering 
the feminine. 
So the whole of this dimension,
which I had been seeking
 for a very long time,
 is now sort of 
opening itself up to
me. "

Bede Griffiths





" Feminine passion
 is to masculine
 as an epic
 is to an
 epigram." 
Karl Kraus _ 








Being a Girl,

Being a Boy


Source of life's
mystery,
sorrows,
and Joy.





A feminine sky?

I suppose it is one
in which
a Cloudia Voyages.


Gentlemen,
 are you thunder
 & lightning?

Ladies,
Ah Ladies. . . . .

So Chore - y
yet touched with
Glory
are we!

" What delights us 
in visible beauty
 is the invisible. "

Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach
 









" Friendship is 
unnecessary,
 like philosophy, like art... 
It has no survival value;
 rather it is one of those 
things
 that give value to 
survival. "

an outsider 
who belongs everywhere
 and nowhere... 
Being a human being

Investment & 'Prepping' Advice

A  L  O  H  A !
" Happiness
Always Looks Small
When You Hold It
 In Your Hand -








- But Let It Go,
And You Learn
At Once How
B I G
And How
PRECIOUS
It Is. "

Maxim  Gorky












" Change Happens
By Listening,
And then Starting
A Dialogue
With The People
Who Are Doing Something
You Don't Believe
Is Right. "

Jane  Goodall,
Primate Intelligence Researcher


mwmwmwmwmw0mwmwmwmwmw

I bought General Electric
stock in '08
when there was
"Blood on the streets"
[ that's a link ]
financially.

I figured that
if GE stayed under
$10

We had bigger problems
         than a stagnant stock.

 "General Electric Company 
NYSE: GE-
$8.75  "
2008

    
" General Electric Company
NYSE: GE -  
Mar 15 4:00pm ET 2013
$23.44 "
 
I still hold my shares
and get a small
dividend.
This is an investment,
not a trade.
Someday,
when I need the 
cash value,
I will be in a 
low tax bracket
 
(No, not a multi-billionaire
paying NO taxes - Ha Ha
on the rest of us) 
 
That is the extent
of my investment
knowledge
except to say
that the average person
is better off
investing in something
they can understand.
IF YOU ARE APPROACHED
WITH A GREAT INVESTMENT
WALK AWAY.
 
99% of the time
you have to spot
your own! 
 
Simply Live
 happily
on less than you
income.
 
Enjoy saving,
MORE than acquiring
more stuff.
 
Do something you 
enjoy, or can stand,
to make a living.
 
You Will Be Financially
SECURE.
(Americans:
you need health
insurance.
In USA
  Medical bills 
cause 62 percent 
of bankruptcies! )
 
If you savor
what is
right before you:
Family / Friends,
health,
food,
weather,
smells,
sights, pets,
events-
you are rich.
  
 
 An Earnest
Recommendation:

DON'T Commute
WITH the creeping Herd!
No matter HOW nice
the yard, or whatever
lures you miles
from work. 
 
Live Against
the flow of 
Rush Hour Traffic.
You'll Thank Me!
 
And if you can:
Walk to Work!
YOUr health,
outlook,
and bank account
will improve! 
 
So when the economy
is teetering
don't sell along 
with everyone else
who is panicking
(again with the herd) 
trying to SELL
for whatever 
they can get.
 
Buy something 
inherently valuable
and it will come back.
 
 
 
 
EMERGENCIES

It never hurts
to be ready for
natural/weather
 'disasters.' 
In fact it is simple,
smart, and
could save lives 
dear to you.
 
At worst
your family
will tease you.
I can take it
for their safety.  
 
  
You don't need 
a bunker.
 
EXAMPLE:
 1 bag of pet food
lasts WEEKS.
 
When I open a new
bag.
I buy a NEW
unopened bag
(not 600).
 
Similar for our
human supplies.  
 
Don't ever rush
to the shops
in a monsoon
for a 'basic'
especially for the 
animals, children,
and elders!
 
So there you go.
Loving advice
because YOU
are precious to me.
 
Now go spread
the Aloha!
