The white mamba -- the dance of creation and life and love and evolution! I think there's something about that in King James, the way I read it...
Self-gratification or selfless service to benefit others/all? ( there's that pesky duality again! I suppose most of us work for a healthy balance, unless we're saints... )
I've never thought about it because i am only a small potato..Selfless,but most of the time people don't believe what I said(the pasty that the sky drops always be considered as beautiful but horrible traps) Bilingual or Monolingual version?
Wonderful idea with the picture version of this or that Tues and Lady Grace!
On this ocassion lady Grace, the Signac, love the psychedlic feel to it, though i am not famiiar with his work in general. However I do love Magrittte's surrealism, there is something deceptively simple but powerful about it, for me.
Surrealism - it is fascinating that it is almost limitless what the mind can create - even more amazing when someone can bring it into a "real" life medium to share with someone - or everyone - else!
Fantasy - though I do enjoy my own scrapes and revels, I don't think something can be easily dismissed just because it isn't true in a sense of lived life. My experiences follwing Tintin on the Red Rackham, with Manny Calavera (see profile picture) in the art-deco afterlife metropolis Rubacava or catching birds eggs with Wordsworth... all these things, so keenly read and felt, are as immediate to my memories as the real joys of living. As Tom Waits sings, "Everything you can think of is true."
ghost trains or rollercoasters?

Sprocket - really enjoyed your answer. Yes, how many lives have each of us lived in our "one" life?
And what an interesting question! I love riding thru the haunted houses at amusement parks, kind of combining the two...
A ghost train would be fascinating because it engages so much of the mind and imagination, and interesting to discover the history... But as my life has seemed a bit like a ghost train for the past few months, i've had enough mystery and would opt for a little more fun. So: rollercoaster! .
archery or horsebackriding?

Thank you both, reading your posts inspired me greatly perhaps it is when the cage of the thinking mind actually falls away that we get a first glimpse of 'Truth' Sprocket? And Lady True I like that idea of lifetimes within one lifetime..
I have tried both but not for many years, but i would say horse riding because of that kinship with such a beautiful powerful animal and there is a wildness to it. also, with horse riding there is a very cool subversion, even though you seemingly are the master of the animal because you have the audacity to climb on its back, adn dont really like that idea, you are in fact the lucky humbled being who has been allowed such a gracious seat by a noble creature who could throw you at any moment...the respect is all for the horse, and rightly so.
