There is no spoon. The cake is a lie. 42. Just a virtual girl in a virtual world. I am on a great adventure. Come along and walk with me.


I always wonder...is she weeping because she arrived, or weeping because she is leaving?

REMEMBER WOODSTOCK ON THE PLAYA @ PARADISE LOST!
SATURDAY, AUGUST 24, 2024;
6 pm grid time
grid.wolfterritories.org:8002/Paradise Lost


Break out your tie dye, crochet halter tops, faded bell bottoms, and prepare for a night of psychedelic fantasy! If you ever wished you could go to Woodstock, but missed the window, here's your chance! In this magical desert region, dig the groovy vibes; check in & drop out; make love, not war. Most of all, leave it on the Playa!

DJ Xenon Darrow will guide you on this epic journey of music through the sounds of Woodstock and the epic rock of the late 60s and early 70s.

The Playa would be the beautiful fantasy love child of Woodstock, Burning Man and Tomorrowland with some Electric Forest Festival thrown in! Expansive, larger than life, psychedelic!

#FLOWERPOWER #GROOVYTUNES #LEAVEITONTHEPLAYA
Before me there was naught created, save
eternal things, and I eternal last;
all hope abandon, ye that enter here!

...And he to me, like one aware, replied:
“All fearfulness must here be left behind;
all forms of cowardice must here be dead.
We ’ve reached the place where, as I said to thee,
thou ’lt see the sad folk who have lost the Good
which is the object of the intellect.”
Then, after he had placed his hand in mine
with cheerful face, whence I was comforted,
he led me in among the hidden things.

-- Dante Alighieri
In sleep he sang to me, In dreams he came,
That voice which calls to me, And speaks my name.
And do I dream again?
-- Charles Hart, Richard Stilgoe, Mike Batt

I had a dream, which was not all a dream.
The bright sun was extinguish'd, and the stars
Did wander darkling in the eternal space...
-- Lord Byron

Wake me up
Wake me up inside
I can't wake up
Wake me up inside
Save me
Call my name and save me from the dark...
-- Amy Lee

From darkness did all hunger come,
With passion did all hunger feed,
And so, all passion stems from a darkness...

You solved the box. We came. Now you must come with us. Taste our pleasures.
--- Clive Barker

I'm burnin', I'm burnin', I'm burnin' for you

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger

-- Madonna, Stephen Bray

I leave no trace of wings in the air, but I am glad I have had my flight.
— Rabindranath Tagore

Something wonderful is coming.
Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends
We're so glad you could attend,
come inside, come inside
There behind a glass stands a real blade of grass
Be careful as you pass, move along, move along

Come inside, the shows about to start
Guaranteed to blow your head apart
Rest assured you'll get your money's worth
The greatest show in Heaven, Hell or Earth

You've got to see the show, it's a dynamo
You've got to see the show, its rock and roll, oh
-- Greg Lake, Peter Sinfield
Every day I get in the queue
To get on the bus that takes me to you
I'm so nervous, I just sit and smile
You house is only another mile

Thank you, driver, for getting me here
You'll be an inspector, have no fear
I don't want to cause no fuss
But can I buy your Magic Bus?
-- Pete Townshend

Well, then can I walk beside you?
I have come to lose the smog
And I feel myself a cog
In somethin' turning
And maybe it's the time of year
Yes, and maybe it's the time of man
And I don't know who I am
But life is for learning
-- Joni Mitchell
The next morning, I left my room at the break of dawn, shook as I was by what I had seen in the red dusk the day before. As I was heading back the way I came. I noticed a sign that I somehow missed. Perhaps there are lighter times that way?


"Sign, sign
Everywhere a sign
Blockin' out the scenery
Breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that
Can't you read the sign?"
-- Les Emmerson

Almighty God: Our sons, pride of our nation, this day have set upon a mighty endeavor, a struggle to preserve our Republic, our religion, and our civilization.
-- Franklin D. Roosevelt

Signs of life in a desolate place...

"Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes-Benz,
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys that she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget..."
-- Don Henley, Glenn Frey


Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year (any time of year)
You can find it here
-- Don Henley, Glenn Frey
I decided to go back to the abandoned station to look for signs of life.

I found some...but are these people I want to know? There was something....not quite right...

“On this road there are no godspoke men. They are gone and I am left and they have taken with them the world.”

-- Cormac McCarthy

Nothing behind me, everything ahead of me, as is ever so on the road.
― Jack Kerouac

Won't you get hip to this timely tip?
When you make that California trip
Get your kicks on Route 66....
--- Bobby Troup
