is it smiley, or simile? :)



Well, all of life is like a simile.

Its parts relate, abound, with "meta" for

there is a realm above; hill tops can see

much further off than valleys. They see more.


For matter matters much, and ev'ry state

with properties that vary, holds the key;

the Plasma, Gas, & Liquid, Solid, spate,

and how each one relates to energy,


is what allows the higher place to see

much further than the lower one can do,

where higher / lower places can still be.

Most solid matter cannot be seen through.


Yes still we can see under, over, 'round.

To see around an object something has

to move (or miror), for sight's not like sound.

To see under or over, "space" (or gas)


must be below / above, where light can pass

to let you see some matter further, yon.

The gravity of matter gives our class

of words for over, under, down, up, on.


The valleys on the other hand are lush,

for water trickles there, and silt has come,

along with silt the seeds of plants get washed

and they grow quickly, thickly, well, that's some.


The states of matter interact with light

and other energy, to hold or let

them go their way. So we can see, or might,

with open eyes, if light is shining yet.

Adding another reason for the walker

There were already some 20 or 30 good reasons for this walk (which are available - 3 or 4 at a time, randomly, from the right hand side of this webpage, when viewed on a desktop anyway). Then I added a further verbalization on the blog before this one. 

Also...

I've just finished Movember, for the second time, and after facilitating gifts to Men's health of $280, 40% more than my goal of $200, and because it is concerned holistically with Men's health, thinking not just of bodies, but of minds, imaginations, culture, & habits of body and mind, it came to me that this is very much in line with my approach, style, and hopes for the walk, so, if they'll let me advertise for that as I go, i'd love to raise money for good research, and for trialing good outcomes, and get involved for this sort of thing, as it works out with the other hopes of the walk, which are  along the lines of  

  • community forming, 
  • discussional, 
  • truth seeking, 
  • habit forming , 
  • story, 
    • "myth" collecting (in the technical use of that word "myth", as stories that have generalized & life-giving effects on those who take them in)  - and 
    • "myth" (in the same sense as mentioned above) telling.

If anyone was ever "on about" health in a multi-dimensional way, it was Yeshua BarNazaret. And talk about being a walker!  He is definitely my "patron saint", and more... my mentor etc..

So, in honour of him, I've just added another good reason for this walk...

... to raise money towards Men's health with the Movember crowd...

Here's what the donation towards Movember link looks like at the mo. : https://au.movember.com/events/view/id/R19m?utm_medium=share&utm_source=dynamic&utm_campaign=copy-clipboard 





How's life going, Walker?

How's life going, Walker?



Yup... just walking...  through it... one step at a time...


not that fast,


sometimes slow, 


but pretty surely...


The thing about being a walker is that walking is steady enough to mean that if someone doesn't walk with you - you won't be spending much time together; yet it's slow and stable enough to allow for conversing, coffee, and even sharing some of  life along the way...
