have you tried the isound versions yet???
why not.
serpent wisdom. more accurate than a mayan calendar. more spiritual than a homemade shaman. more real than a biker bar.

i hope everyone enjoyed the appearance on kentucky homefront.
wfpk aired the show this last week.
if you didn't get to hear it, call wfpk and ask for more airplay for serpent wisdom.
to get the sound, and buy the music, you can goto ear xstacy...of course..and also underground sounds, both in the highlands.

as Louisville celebrates the Kentucky Derby by having a cd release party for the
new Serpent Wisdom album, "Me, I Dream" it might be nice to ask dream of....?
here's a Bible verse that we might wish to remember
1 Corinthians, Paul of course offers 13:11--"When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things." A chapter later, he offers this (14:20): Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men."

Be wise as serpents, harmless as doves. Be mature in understanding. Have courage. Dare to know, and dare to act accordingly.
Dare to Act? yeah... like "the first air devil meeting the first earth angel in ancent early america" --"the Good Life"

here's an excerpt from a discussion about the interconnectedness ad the building of the new highway from elsewhere that might give a clue about why we need the chance to gain some happiness as we learn to dance with one another, one great snake dance reaching across the horison:
(this discussion started about the reality of the need to be inclusive, then went weird when somebody decided to set standards for who could be included. it' between a sculptor who also works with "at risk" teens in australia, and a pirate cruising along the banks of the ohio.)

Fire- “oz doesn;t show up on my daily weather report but hope the extinction of the polar bears ( obviously a plot funded by paul mccartney) isn;t cuasing too much brshfire.’ Hi ….Weather report is- Total Fire Ban, no naked flame outdoors, no tractors, chainsaws, lawnmowers or angle grinders to be used. Much of the State of Victoria has been ablaze since before Christmas. Bushfire raged out of the 1500 hectare Framlingham forest heading our way about a week ago. ‘Crownfire’- firestorm burning through the tops of trees with sound and speed of freight train. Came within 700 yards of us….ember attack all night…..shat my pants ;-) We/family/all are alive….which makes us “well and prosperous” ;-) (Saw, once more, the ‘true community’ that arises in disaster. Still longing to see it facilitated in the world ) Fire- ”it was interestin to watch relatively southern texas be closed for a day due to ice.” Texas? That tiny little State that would fit twice over into Western Australia? Close it down permanently…….it will never amount to anything. ;-) Seriously…ice huh!?....and here’s us facing the worst drought in history. Wild weather. Gonna get worse. Oil wars will be nothing compared to water wars. ”there's a line from hg welles and many others about "doomed to repeat it" which u may be here in time to watch made more behavioruly concrete....:-)” Yup…..And a number of good thesis pointing to the environmental element in the collapse of empires/civilizations (Rome with a Nth African bread basket etc). It’s a good thing that some know that the ‘Farmer comes first’ and all live rural (in the “place of souls”) supporting the land and local produce….huh?......;-) Take care xyz... ” kid we all got it coming” Interesting theological speculation .....reference to original sin perhaps? ;-) I would have thought the trick (justice) would reside in the capacity to explain to the “kid” precisely/specifically how and why he has “got it coming” hmmmmmmmmm?

	rod, hehehehhehe,i was actually thinking more about a scarecrow than the roman empire in the "repeat it" reference...:-) i've been in a crown fire a few times, but only on the 40-400 hectare scale. yeah. try having a 5 gal capacity squirt gun wit a range of 30 feet as self-defense, and a guy with a fire hoe for offense against one...:-) :"Still longing to see it facilitated in the world" a worldly peace, of the body and not the heart, the planet but not the spirit probly be achieved by the planet being forced into it. ur describng one of the forces. the nyt reported a few days ago ( i read them late, thoroly, and while waiting for sleep ..rarely sure o teh dates) that part of the "global warming" issues isthat the area around d.c., virginia etc got none of it for a long time, and usa wth that 3+ time zone thing thus senses things differently than england/france/germany/italy/spain where it's all one neighborhood. the pace of relatonships i such that last week there as a major train derlaiment about 50 miles from where i was, chemical fires, spills, toxins, yaydydaya..wind blowing from my direction. i heard about the derailment from a trckdriver 1900 miles away who called to see what i knew about it, since 36 hors later he needed to be there on hisway thru. next day i saw something on page 1 of newspaper. that night i was talking with a lovely chick born a couple miles from the fire who had heard about it from her mother who said, don't come visit this wekend, we're evacuated....again. if the wind had been blowing the other way, i woulda been drowned in useless information about how bad the smoke was, cancer, railroads, politics, tree-hugging, etc. --a concrete story aout how we all need to realise the Wind is blowing. at about 3 a.m. local time i was discussing the 1911 colt, and atlantis...was it thera, or was it a sub-continent. excellent video runnng mabe saying one or the other--sound drowned by the jukebox and left over poker players -- when it occurred to me there's no reason it isn't both... there is among the many, many subthreads of serpent wisdom, some of them fairly whacko, various vain imaginings left over from stories about times when civilisation got too far ahead of itself, going back a good 16,000 years. :"I would have thought the trick (justice) would reside in the capacity to explain to the �kid� precisely/specifically how and why he has �got it coming� hmmmmmmmmm? ---there's an easy answer: we don;t rise into grace thru our appeals to reason, logic, tradition, or havin read the "right" books. we fall into grace when we realise "it's in your spirit, that's where it matters." http://www.isound.com/serpent_wisdom

One of the more import ant song writers of the past few years was a texas boy named townes van zandt. his influence is not appreciated by all those who have heard music that first came into this world through his mind.
here's someone who gets some of the point. the minister of defense of a very tiny nation the sole industry of which is sorting packages to be delivered at the end of a River where the jumbalyia grows waiting for the harvest to be cooked, recently jumped some 200 pounds of walking wrong head insisting on aggressively pressing the idea that people need to spend their time thinking about bodies rather than worlds being in colission. in this pic, the minister of defense is at the tribute service to townes van zandt, at a table that later had a beer bottle smash itself, at that world capital where earth angels and air devils first met.
and where last night she displayed the swelling of the knuckle left from announcing to someone that the burden we carry doesn't need to be made heavier by those who can't think more than 5 inches away from their own tale.

here's
a story about the Story that connects all of us, one great snake dance, reacing all across the horizon, that the serpent wisdom people just put out.
in a world where the stars are falling, it is good to know that new stars are always made. and as carl sagan once mentioned...we are all star dust, waiting to happen, miracles.
using the power of linkage, we can find more ways for the world geting to know each other.
louisville music? not reallly. world beat too strong to need drums.
in a few hours, the head head-hunter at j&b dances will be looking at art from somebody wonderful, somebody new. who on random evenings is more than wonderful...is alive.
out of the vagaries of bellarmine u where staff can somehow think they can poach on the merton's trust there are also wonderful students, strong souls, and a few with the courage to know we come to find out who we are.

there's more...something higher to life than the good life, as good as it is.
there's a sense of something greater, going on all around us.

joining the list of what acn be seen on the unSeeable,
a song that aggravates me...cause i didn't write it....magnolia
and a comment by someone else visually.
these lyrics are about world history as it really is,
about someone beyond words (for me..tho others have ghosts of images)
and for a few friends, one of who is currently in west texas, thinking about worlds colliding.

"you are a star, hiding in the light of day.

u are where u are, you don;t have to stay.

come on into the night. the realm of your brightness.

you are poetry in flight.
you were made in Goddess' likeness--don' t you know?
