[quote=Zeitgeist]Pup- I think the small farm sounds nice. I know you are smart and a superb survivor. I hope you have some like minded people on your side because as we all know, you have to sleep some time. In the meantime, don’t leave behind your books including poetry: “Open still remaineth a free life for great souls. Verily, he who possesseth little is so much the less possessed: blessed be moderate poverty!”
“There, where the state ceaseth–there only commenceth the man who is not superfluous: there commenceth the song of the necessary ones, the single and irreplaceable melody.”
“There, where the state CEASETH–pray look thither, my brethren! Do ye not see it, the rainbow and the bridges of the Superman?–”
Thus spake Zarathustra.[/quote]
LOL. Zeit, I’ve got a posse of feisty friends on my side (mostly white collar types who are growing increasingly apprehensive and moving into self-protection mode). We’re prepped and ready to support each other 🙂
Your quotes resonate with me — and not just because I love poetry. They remind me that in these times we must cling to bits of art, humor and culture to bring perspective and stability to our lives. I have recently found joy in learning the guitar and composing music (I played piano for 10 years and lost my skills). I know, it’s going to come as a huge surprise to everyone on this board, but I actually don’t spend all my time plotting my escape and stuffing my pantry 😉 Tonight, I’m enjoying a couple of joints with a buddy, opening a bottle of Menage a Tois and watching “Madagascar 2”. Have you ever watched talking animals when you’re high? AMAZING!!!!
