Big Fish, Introspectice Fishilosophy ~ Life from the mind of a fish ~ Fictional Short Story

Swim in the water with the big fish or alone in peace and serenity, away from such turbulence ?

What's a big fish, and what real difference does it matter in reality ?

Are there more big fish, "wannabe" big fish, or happy compliant guppies keeping their respective place in line ?

"Which one Am I ?", says me, to myself.

I'm not always sure, but I know I've got to keep this body in action through the resistance, or with lives current, and not fighting the tide, the ebb the flow, ... just hope to see another brilliant subset perfectly reflecting above me upon the water,  after a day of productivity, friendship, and offering away more than I took for myself, after a morning spent swimming away in the glory of Light.

It seems to look outside if the self, and the species... All life gets larger or smaller and with obvious instinctual intuition making this quantitative recognition in an instant once so thought.

There most certainly are big fish, around us guppies, and there is mist something definitely living both smaller and larger by far than myself and my kind.

I bet all non fish appreciate their journey too, if they think... I guess.

I wonder, do other things living think with a conscience? An inner voice, almost like a built in guide?

I smell dinner and its time to visit the big fish at the fish shindig. We ate learning survival and preparation tactics and how to survive with purpose, civility, and determination to strive and support balance as where we are such trusted stewards.

This cooler deeper water feels great washing my body on my way in my vessel to the "Root Cliff Rock Annual Social". I feel refreshed, renewed, and so alive and swim with strength headward into this current with such enjoyable ease.

School was fantastic today, and I am so happy as a fish to know that every day is a day to learn and appreciate. I also truly enjoy the social aspects when we are at school and there's no doubt I definitely appreciate my alone time as well, and the family in between is always the greatest blessing.

After dinner we have a get-together of all of the participants and we sit around in a circle, at the circle of rocks just below our special place in the river, back in this Cove, and we each tell of what it is we believe today is and what tomorrow is and what life is, and we grow closer together as we each deeply appreciate the other Eternal and infinite universe of the Soul.

I've heard there are other species that fight amongst themselves over their beliefs, and I find it so sad that any other species would think that they had actually evolved to appoint as such, as without a doubt that has to be classified as devolving.

Things sure have changed in the river, and it's the same species that just seems to only really care about what they can have for the moment and when they just hard whatever's left from that process, they don't seem too much think about where it's going and what it's doing, and most importantly naively to themselves, that they're going to consume this again, just like they have poisoned us.

The dinner is a great social time because we all get to talk about that which we can't control and that which we pray about that which we believe in, and we do find the internet Eternal Universe within absolutely fascinating and that we are able to communicate amongst one another at all through magnetic energy is quite something. We don't just communicate with it, and the amazing thing is the wavelength that we use is really almost undetectable but what that other species thinks is their most modern of Technology. I understand they want to blend some of that technology into life somehow, which they called transhumanism. I read a lot because I find a lot of newspapers in the river, and if you catch them just in time over near the dump at the edge of the clean water and the dirty water you can read them before they deteriorate.

The ones I found what they call a smartphone made by Apple and it was still working under the water. I was able to press against it with my forehead and my nose and my lips and it would make what looks like different pictures from above. I can't really explain it, but I promise you it's the truth and I can bring you to where it happened and if the device is still there show it to you. You wouldn't believe the things that are down here. I've never known another fish to leave something behind that they made. We take what the river and tributaries provide and we leave behind nothing except that which will be quickly reprocessed so that it would be beneficial elsewhere.

We do occasionally eat other fish I have to admit, so it's definitely not a perfect world, and this cycle is hard to describe as anything but pleasant when you know what the immediate reality coming is going to bring, which is a humbling to anything that seems to live.

If the body dies does the spirit go on?

Will I one day be that species that doesn't care, or am I in some way that now?

Tonight at our annual dinner and after, I am looking forward to the answer of the collective and the greater Vision that will bring us towards tomorrow as at least we can do the best to our ability as a team, lifting one another and sharing the Bounty of the river, and being fair and good to one another.

I still hate the idea that we eat one another sometimes. Sometimes the big fish I mean, and show the good Big Fish try to teach us how to be prepared at all times. I always return to these places in my mind because they kind of haunt you when you're alive and you appreciate life. You don't want to be like that yourself either, as you know the real provides great bounty in a plethora of ways that should make that.

Swedish Fish seem to have almost this perfect balance in this perfect world except for a couple of really difficult problems that persist and just seem to be a part of some of us. It's really difficult to live around that, but we can't rest on our laurels in that environment and we have to keep our faith and work hard towards the proper end goals to safeguard ourselves.

We are seeking answers always and part of life seems to be the journey of which we just don't truly 100% no. It still has a great value this life, even more so, and so we hope to change our genetic makeup through the ability to share thought and decide to change that which we do not like and when we think this way we believe our Evolution relief us in a much more desirable light. We're not trying to achieve Perfection today, but we are trying to you and for that in the future, and we seem to see other species which seem to be in some sort of a free-fall or downfall and evolving as they seem to only care more and more for the self.

So much on my mind tonight as a guppy, that I just can't keep my mind from racing. I think I'm going to swim over to the treatment plan because I hear that if you breathe that water there you can calm down quite a bit. There's a lot of places I need to stay away on the way there too so I just need to keep that in the Forefront of my mind, and that is what being a guppy is really all about. Staying on your toes and learning the way so that you can become a big fish. There is no guarantee for that, that is for sure, and on my way to being that future Big Fish, I hope to do the best of my ability with each and every moment of my life that I breathe and that I may give back to my community and appreciate the realizations that we have all made together today and especially that the most valued gift is life and that no life should go ignored, Left Behind, or intentionally hurt, and that there is no excuse of any type to ever let that take place, by We, The Kings of Fishes.

That is our proper name passed along over the eons of fish-evolution.

We strive to always be a fish that is learning at all times and each day only learning to appreciate life even more in the more and to recognize that the orange orb is that, which without a doubt, gives us Light / Life, and we have each are the children of that light. We the Kings of Fish, The Children of Light.

After we all commune in communication, which really looks as though we are resting, a few of us will go to our favorite part of the river to see the glare above.

We hope to make it just as the orange orb Slips Away and the white and yellow orbs begin to twinkle. We have studied these patterns for eons and we have a deep fascination of that which seems infinite on the outside, just the same as each of us sharing life has an infinite Universe Within.

I'm sure you can tell I am excited, and so is our entire school and extended families. This is always the most incredible time of the year and this is the same day that the orange orb seems to be on fire the longest. We have seen lightning at the water's edge which brings fire, and we believe that this is gas similar to methane we have in the river, that is burning, but a much different gas that I have read in the newspaper is hydrogen. I still can't believe I figured out English.

What's more fascinating is this technology just like the smart thing when I was a guppy, that I know you used to write my blog and to communicate the thoughts that race through my mind while I am on this Journey and how incredible it is to find out that what we call species each have the similar types of thoughts and philosophies Within, and it has been through genetics and magnetics that we have been able to finally communicate across all forms of life.

We actually don't eat fish anymore. We did it evolve past that but I didn't want to say that early on, as I thought it might be too much to digest in the mind.

It is amazing truly how much a species can change if they just share the desire to do so. It is amazing how much better everybody starts to do when we try to live a principled life of balance, and whatever you want to believe within is totally up to you. The simplest of rules is try to offer more than you take in all regards. It's not a perfect life but when we all do that the greater balance in the end is to all each our favor. The greater good for the future of Life remains in that balance as well in all regards.

What is is what it is, what will be is what will be, and what has been has been, however today is the present moment, right now, and it is right now that I embrace and accept my tree reality and that I will work hard to shine in those regards just as the orbs I see repeatedly after the orange orb disappears, and these clear and yellow ones seem to Sparkle above and sometimes and the same shapes I do see, seemingly speaking to me from somewhere else far away it feels.

Well I know I sure have thrown a lot at you while I'm swimming Along on my adventure this evening but these were the thoughts that you're stood through my mind that I thought I would share, and I hope this only fine eyes that do care, eyes that love life and share, eyes that behind is only filled with deep thought up halls of Light to the Orange Orb, through space-time, this liquid universe of differing life & densities, but a humbling shared destiny. Eternal Peace shall be victorious, perfect innocence and no chaos. Perfect balance restored. Q in Mathematics I read recently, is the mathematical equilibrium quotient. It's far deeper than that, but that's gives you an idea. You may have to swim around to find a newspaper that is up to date and have you can see the entire thing. Just kidding, it's amazing that these tablets down here, I think that's what they call them, are able to work on communicate with other species truly.

What is Q?

Or,

Who Is Q?

If we were able to restore balance, does that mean we could design a formula when we understand the factors that can be manipulated that are out of balance?

Does that mean perhaps we could control our destiny? Does that mean perhaps that we could even see what's coming before it arrives?

I told you I just can't stop thinking all these incredible thoughts and I'm looking forward to the feast on the longest day of the orb. Sometimes I just say butt word for short, after all, we all know it's orange.

All, always returns to the river, and some the river life does spring forth with the orange orb, and with the orange orb that life shall return again, to be reborn, another perfect Child of the Light.

We, The King of Fishes

Forgotten Light Beam ~ Lyric /Poetry ~ Mobius∆Tripz

One day just a particle of dust your soul within,
the end is right where the start begins,
riding on light beams, bent by gravity so as to experience time,
I know all of this,
this universe within and that from out there.
It's a tapestry of light you live to defend,
and I don't want to be just forgotten,
left alone,
thought so old,
just left to die.

I want to do it all right now,
Experience my life!

I want to do it all,
Do it all,
Do it all,
Do it all right now.

It's more than just a physical manifestation, your a spirit that should man the station, but isn't there just much more to life?, can I finally be trusted and trust another, like my Mother to My Father, find the perfect wife?

I don't want to be left out,
Laughed at,
Washed up and far too old,
It's all within your attitude,
Stay determined and vigilant,
being prepared is preventing that which needs defense,
You've got to live your life and,

Do it all,
Do it all,
Do it all right now.

Do it all,
Do it all,
Do it all right now.

Do it all,
Do it all,
Do it all ... right now !!

Hypothesis About Inclement Weather Road Surface Treatment & Chemicals that Corrode Steel Fast !!! ~ and ~ So What About the Consequences Upon the Human Body & WildLife ???

ROUGH DRAFT - IDEAS TO CULTIVATE, CONTEMPLATE, STUDY & SHARE
Hypothesis: (loose knit / layman's terms)
My hypothesis is simple, my hypothesis is that the chemicals that are utilized to treat and inclement winter weather are extraordinary really detrimental to the human body and all wildlife, and are poorly regulated with far too much autonomy and ability to combine chemical ingredients in such mixtures that are doing harm to all life in such a way that these chemicals assault us over and over again, quite possibly being one of the most ignored factors in the rise of cancers and autism spectrum disorder, and perhaps a host of other disease. Equally detrimental, the wildlife must most certainly be suffering terribly too.
Well... this has been on my mind for quite a long while now as I dig for info and talk to professionals and read and further research (loosely) my rather straight forward  thoughts/hypothesis.
I want to see an expose in the chemicals utilized in "road salt" & "sprays" or any and all "chemical applications" for inclement winter weather (such as expected icy conditions, snow, below freezing temperatures, etc.)
I see trucks consistently rotted through the frames that are 12 years old and typically just at the Mason Dixon line and North.
Ford F-150s in Chevrolet Silverados from 2006 down, making them 12 years old today, are commonly and often found for sale online as parts vehicles and with their frames rusted completely through, or completely rotting from underneath of the unibody Construction, and all the while with the mechanical drivetrain still in perfect working order. This also affects brake lines and fuel lines as well that are constructed of metal. Of course, there are many other cars, but the ones you see most often are the ones that work in National best selling vehicles.
Who regulates these chemicals in reality and is there any real enforcement ? I understand multiple chemicals may be mixed and utilized, and understanding in one hand its for immediate safety, one must wonder about the long term damages in the other hand, as these chemicals without a doubt must effect ALL LIFE adversely eventually, if not in shorter order.
Corrosive enough to disintegrate steel!!! So bad that indeed the state of Pennsylvania issues letters insisting drivers go quickly to the car wash to remove the chemicals quickly to help avoid the damage.
But, what about people & the animals ? What about the water table & the air we breathe?
We are living in a time of cancer proliferation, and horrible trajectories concerning other physical & mental health aspects, and although this is not a suggestion of this being the only factor, I think it MUST be explored investigateivly and in much more depth !!!
Perhaps a decent group of investigative reporters can start a group to collect and analyze the information at hand, as well as further develop methodology and scientific testing of real life examples through, perhaps a crowd funded campaign (gofundme/patreon), so that we may raise awareness & educate others to these, I strongly feel, overlooked serious issues contained within. I truly believe some research would be mind blowingly very eye-opening.
Think about the water table, the streams, the lakes, and the ponds and the rivers, etc. and think about these chemicals raining and snowing down upon us even yet again, and/or drinking them or eating them in all food sources.
As I've researched a little, it's my understanding that many areas just have a plethora of chemicals on hand that are mixed, and these formulas are tinkered with and further honed only with freezing points in mind, to help protect citizens on the road ways.
I, again, think this to be a very strong "causative factor'" in our (people/wildlife) collective deteriorating health and alongside pesticides/herbicides and GMO's, how can anyone argue against the idea that we are being constantly assaulted with corrosive, life changing/killing, genetic mutating, immune-suppressing/taxing, cancer-causing, chemically formulated combatants?
Ultimately, research that provides support of truth in regards to these chemicals must be pushed upon the masses to Share the Truths".
Where does the explosion in autism spectrum disorder come from, for example but most definitely not limited to, and can we work together collectively to expose and reveal causation perhaps?
It may be that such studies reveal something else completely, and so I cannot imagine they would be wasted time. However I think proof could and would be do offered proving my hunch that seems to go mostly completely unnoticed, thus flying under the radar and hurting the delicate balance which is life.
So again, what will collected data and studying of collected datasets overlapped with geographical regions expose?
We are on the cusp of incredible computational power at our fingertips. Artificial Intelligence, Super Computers, Quantum Computing, and Cloud Computing, all combined, are defining better means by which to collect and sort and compare this data, and other current and very soon coming technology that can help us analyze, track, study, and change methodological practice today, which could greatly help prevent these atrocities, and I feel there is no excuse for failure, however, $$$ often drives an evil machine that is intolerant of the preservation of life and the prevention of loss of life, and therefore is typically the most difficult evil to overcome on the path to logical and rational practices,  sadly and most often, even with irrefutable proof in hand!!! Study Monsanto/Searle for example, concerning Aspartame,alongside the almighty $ and political influence and corruption. That proof is all in hand, and do for that case in point, I ask only why is that garbage still legal and poisoning so many?
The only logical and rational answer is that the sweetener industry, in this example, is a multitrillion-dollar business today, and with flawed internal mechanisms and greed at work as it always is, we are chemically assaulted yet again in this example. One must understand that the two naturally occurring amino acids that combined make aspartame, never naturally bond in nature, and are only forced to do so in the lab in the manufacture process, however Aspartame is still able to be hidden most often in the ingredients list under the term "natural flavorings".
So back to the point in hand, concerning chemicals used to treat roadways in incremental weather conditions during the winter time. Are we truly being assaulted by a mixture of corrosive chemicals that wants spread on the roadways are able to assault all life forms over and over again? With my scientific mind and my Loosely knit research over the last several years, I absolutely cannot see any other outcome.
So it comes down to what do we do about these issues? How do we use strategic tactical planning through science alongside our legal system to implement Swift change? Typically, in this modern-day of social media, we are able to educate the masses for more quickly, but can we Assemble 2 affect change immediately? That seems in impossibility when you have people like the Koch brothers in big business with unlimited Financial Resources that constantly wield their money, power, and influence, against the people that are under a recurrent chemical onslaught.
Of course everything is made of chemicals, and of course even the bad actors probably make good contributions and other marketplaces, but my greater point is that we must have a logical and rational system that cannot be swayed by finances and absolutely must perform its and do diligence to protect the people against the many chemicals that we are definitely exposed to that absolutely do us and all life harm, and we know this to be a fact today for certain.
When will the EPA become an agency that better Serve the People and has political and financial Cloud completely removed from it's inherently flawed and often corrupt mechanisms?
And returning once again 2 Road treatment chemicals for implemental winter weather, who is able to buy these chemicals, what chemicals can they choose from, what is their licensing or authority to purchase said chemicals, and who monitors and enforces these purchases? Most importantly of all, mixing chemicals can create wholly new and hideous compounds, and he takes a sample of each batch of chemicals utilized to treat roads, before the treatment is applied? Are agencies throughout the United States that treat local Road services responsible for providing a log from a scientific lab that precisely articulates the amounts in ratio of the chemicals used to make these applications as well as the precise procedures in which they were combined?
I would say these oversights and accountability mrasures probably exist, however I would suggest that they are old and outdated mechanisms that need to be reexamined and that it is time that we do that reexamination immediately and most importantly changed the way things are because I just can't believe that any governmental agency at any level would be allowed to apply chemicals to our roadways that are so terribly corrosive that they will eat through Steel in a relatively short order, as this did not happen to Vehicles just a few decades ago in such short order.
It all comes down to organization and doing our due diligence collectively and putting forth our analysis in way of simple and provable fact alongside political support that will provide new legislation that can be proposed and hopefully in acted upon soon, before it is too late.
Individually, and collectively, we rest on our laurels at our own peril.

Lean Left & Fall

Lean Left & Fall for Anything.

Lean Right & Stay Righted to Stand Tall !!!

Major General Albert Stubblebine ~ West Point Class of 1952 ~ 911 ~ September 11, 2001

Must watch !!!

Sharp man !!!

This 1952 graduate of West Point, Major General Stubblebine, coincidentally the same class as my own father, is the highest ranking officer to go on the record in these regards about the events that took place on September 11th, 2001... in New York, Virginia, and Pennsylvania. An attack on America that affected us all and sent out instant shockwaves, and still residual ripples, through the rest of the world.

Few are better qualified then he to make such statements, so why do we overlook a man of great experience and expertise?

I personally watched, on live TV that morning myself, and knew immediately that this was a terrorist attack, as I had been a student previously, then with a degree in science and a major in police science.

I immediately took this attack deeply personally as well, even trying to be objective, as my father in law (of my estranged wife) was the head of the Center for Army Analysis (C.A.A.) and was supposed to be in that exact wing for a meeting that have been cancelled that morning (as was relayed to me by my estranged wife shortly after the events that morning) . Also, I was born in Pennsylvania, spent a lot of my time in my life at West Point in New York (and still currently visit regularly as my Mother is at rest there) and I was a mile from the Pentagon that morning, as I grew up in Alexandria Virginia, and that morning I was at my girlfriend's house, while she was at work, ... which was (her home) extremely close to the Pentagon.

I am very hopeful that President Donald Trump will indeed start removing the veil behind the secrecy about the truth of September 11th, 2001, because the American people deserve the whole truth, not just partial truths on top of lies. The entire world needs to understand the truth of what religion inspired that day, and just what such a ploy meant and still implies, that indeed there is a nefarious deep and dark state that has been long at work undermining our bureaucracy and trying to take control so that the New World Order can reign.

I was first introduced to the power elite theory at George Mason University, a theory I strongly scoffed at but never forgot. This introduction was by my economics professor, who was extraordinary in all regards.

What General Stubblebine states, among many things, is that an event this large is nearly completely statistically impossible to completely overlook, therefore... draw your own conclusion and watch!!!

He, and countless others including myself, do not believe that an airplane (at least alone) hit the Pentagon.

He realized immediately that the mainstream media also seemed likely to be coordinated in their reporting (purposefully possibly spreading misinformation) of the event.

Q, do you hear us?

I've waited a long time for Revelations concerning this event.

President Trump, do you hear us? The American people deserve the Truth !!!

The 9/11 Commission Report has been proven to be full of incorrect assertions.

The fact that nanotechnology was utilized as either a catalyst and/or an accelerant, lends to that fact alone, and furthermore, it takes the finest labs in the world to produce nano-particular thermite as was found at the site of the World Trade Center in the aftermath.

I've personally felt this "conspiracy fact" runs deep since day one, and deeper than most can accept, and therefore, these revelations must be revealed now, or it may never come forth at all.

I only bring this up because the undercurrent in the chatter today is that this Revelation is on the agenda, and we are ready.

We Trust the Plan !!!!!!!

Let's hear "The Truth Through Revelations" now, before, like President Kennedy, it is too late, God forbid !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

May God bless you each !!!

Now, each of you, let our President know that we are prepared for truth today.

I Am The Squirming Toad ~ Poetry ~ MobiusTripz

The Doors,

Riders on the Storm,

Two candles flickering,

In the darkness of my room a lay alone.

In the pitch blackness of my mind's heart and soul,

I still only see me and you,

other than the flicker,

All here that remains is cold & dead.

The music blares,

as loudly as love I thought we shared,

I thought you really cared,

Didn't you even care?

My eyes runneth' over,

Into the darkness... dazed... for months now,

alone forevermore...

I've stared.

The love I had for you boundless...

Its still an ember,

but fading... burning out,

I'm too fading away.

You don't even answer me much anymore...,

My friend once,

Again simply,

Betrayed.

What never truly started,

Certainly seemed to end.

Certainly seems to have met an end.

You... I'd still now forever love & defend.

Almost love shared,

We had in our grasp easily and perfect if so wanted,

Denied.

At life's table together we once dined,

"Girl, you gotta love your man",

I guess I'll never understand!,

Do you understand?,

My life on you depends.

That killer on the road,

Always chasing me,

My mind is the squirming toad,

All, just... Riders On the Storm.

Tea candles like love... both flicker out,

My heart hurts still months later,

This darkness envelopes me,

As my mind still that squirming toad.

All just riders on the storm,

Is to suffer just my norm?,

Riding out this lonely cold dark storm,

In darkness all alone... with only thoughts of closing Doors.

Life always just a storm,

Always is a storm,

Love evades me yet again,

My life as black & blue with scorn.

Killer on the road.

Love,

a killer on the road,

This storm on me bestowed.

A killer on the road.

Patrick Crites Poetry ~ The Reaping Scout ~ Poetry

Mayhaps you've met the crow
That caws thoughout the night,
Who's onyx color is omen of
Chaos harbinger in flight.

Upon a night yet moonless
The demon there did call
Flitted into shadow shape
And from out of shade did crawl

A pleasant sight at first
Until talon did reave
The souls of several alley cats
Where life no longer breathed

I was off that night to bar
To fetch warm pint of hops
To quench this thirst arose
And satisfy mine chops

Recently been widowed
Sweet Mary Mcree
Came tumbling right out of
That barroom jubilee

I met her then at corner
Of Solomon and Toll
And ghastly grimace spread upon her
As the crow came for her soul.

At first I nearly shrieked
To drunk me thinks t'believe.
eyes wide and white and empty
As the contents of her bleeds

Twas then that this crow
First took in my own sight
And the terror spread upon me
Yes on that moonless night

I asked if I was crazy,
Or perched upon the peak
Of insanity or madness
Either outlook bleak.

The crow did caw to I
As chilling wind would blow
"Beast are we acquainted?"
Reply : " not for you to know."

He said just then with red eyes
"You may call me Virsago."
"I'm here as scout for now,"
"You see the dead go where i show."

Twas then I begged the query,
"Why have you appeared to me?"
"To lead you home my son"
"And make your path be seen."

"I take from earth the strong."
"To leave only the weak."
"Preparing here a dinner,"
"Or a feast for demons yet asleep."

I stood there frozen now
And wondered at the reason
"Because you are to lead,"
"For its the devil's season."

"Surely youve mistaken me,"
"I'm certainly no asset.
"Oh but little man..."
"You're perfect in every facet."

I questioned then again
My sanity- where stand?
But looking down i noted
The scarlet blade in hand.

"You see its quite inituitive,"
"For those here that are marked"
As charcoal wings emerge
From shoulder they embarked.

The pain of splitting bone
As sinew parted way
To free up feather rot with all
Maggot, worm and decay.

I felt the hiss of heat
As I grabbed onto my face
But shocked i was to find that
All my skin had melted 'way.

I smiled then with laughter
As I wondered at my name
But the words then rushed upon me as
I lost all worldly shame.

I felt my self then thinning
The weight of body gaunt and slim
As a black cloak rose around me
And I spoke the words "The Grim"
