Bridging the 'hate' colors....

With the notion from October's post of colors blended with some thoughts through the past few days, the idea of 'bridging' has been formed....

A Sapphire will bridge a Jet and a Pearl (Scrublands)
An Emerald will bridge A Pearl and Ruby (Plateau)
A Pearl bridges a Tropical Island (Sapphire/Emerald)
The Ruby bridges a Bayou (Black/Green)
and finally the Jet will bridge a Volcanic Island....

With friendly colors, there might not need to be a 'bridge', though that will sort out later....

'Hate' color duallands actually mix well with ALL Moxes...

Just a very quick post.

If a 'hate' color dualland (Bayou, Plateau, Tropical Island, Scrubland, Volcanic Island) is mixed with ANY type of Mox, the results are actually good.  For these duallands, any type of Mox will find 'friendly' affinity with either of the colors....

Example for a Plateau.  If a Ruby Mixes, the similar Mox type is in affinity as a battling person.  If a Pearl, the Contialitic energies may align.  If a Sapphire's in the mix, the blue/red doesn't harmonize (and might cause the Plateau to think the Sapphire untrue), though the Trueness of the Mox mixes with the Pearls intuition.  If a Jet, the Ruby of the Plateau allows the singularity of the Plateau (with Ruby link) and also might cause the Jets internal/self defeating conscience linked from other players.  While mixing in group affinity of an Emerald nature, the Plateau might shift back to the protection and order of the Pearl's color symbolism of 'Order/Protection'.

Anyways, just a bit more of my awareness of Moxness mixed with duallands....

Scrublands mix well with Sapphires (The Esper post)

Through the recently gained information of 'hate' and 'friendly' colors, sense has been made of this.  With the Sapphire as the centre, the white and black of a Scrubland land well with the blue.  A Sapphire will hold (through being true) the death and decay of black away, and also follows directionally through the channel of Sapphire (audio out) to Jet (listener).  With the energy going from a Sapphire through a Jet, when the voice is mixed in through the mind of a Jet, the Pearl (thought/intuition) takes the Sapphire through to the contialis for other Pearls to perceive the thought.

Mixing in a bit of Final Fantasy, Espers were creatures that contained magical energy.  An Obelisk of Esper (in M:TG) can produced one point of blue (tears or water), one point of white (a sun), or one point of black (a skull).

The fact of the Scrubland 'surrounding' the Sapphire, the positive and 'friendly' mix of white/blue and black/blue is melded.

The understanding of 'friendly' and 'hate' colors....

Last Friday I was introduced (by Kyle Pede) about the idea of friendly and hate colors.

The five colors of mana are shown as being in a circle (clockwise from top centre) from White, Blue, Black, Red, and Green.

The 'friendly' colors are the colors that are next to each other in rotation (ie White/Blue (Tundra), Blue/Black (Underground Sea), Black/Red (Badlands), Red/Green (Taiga), and Green/White (Savannah).

The 'hate' colors are White/Black (Scrublands), Black/Green (Bayou), Green/Blue (Tropical Island), Blue/Red (Volcanic Island), and Red/White (Plateau).

When I heard this information, I immediately started processing the duallands and how they are part of my life.  There were thoughts about who is really a friend, and who should I watch out for.  Some of it didn't make sense, though my firmly noded belief structure was acquiring new information and my irrational mind was trying to process it.

True there are battles going on in the world, I'm just trying to make sense of them.

How do you tear apart a Bayou?!

Kevin, Dave.... This might apply to you from me about us....

If a Bayou is a swamp and a forest, and green is symbolized by life and nature, while black death and decay, isn't it a bit of a paradox?

The life flows through nature until the point of death and then decay begins.

If something is in decay, and death evades it, can the natural path return it to life?

I noted today that with a group of three duallands, all three shared a Jet/black link.  The note too from Jef is that black mana is symbolized by cigarettes and 'the dirty little secrets'.  The trine, then of the 'Jetness' was that we were all smoking, though the mix of the 'other half' was Red, Green, and Blue.  RGB TV from CRTC on the DPD mon amie!

I have a concern about black mana in that I also recall a saying that 'the light is not always good, and the dark not always bad'.  Then the ideas flow out to the Pearl to get away from the situation.  In the grouping of a Badlands, an Undergroud Sea, and a Bayou leaves out the white mana (symbolized by order and protection).  This would balance the power of force towards the Badlands as primary sake and also the Chaos and Fury that is representative of red mana.  The Sapphire link then could band with the Emerald, who fuses the Ruby into the group of three, and the cigarettes flow freely.

Anyways.... this is how I understand things sometimes.  I also tend to process verbally (or when writing) and note that I've got 7 minutes until the next point of black.

Good luck, God bless, and keep at 'er...

Jet's get abused by Sapphires....

With a few communications made in the past while, i'm gaining some awareness of myself and my communication techniques and tactics.  In the past two or so weeks I've encountered and communicated with three main Jets (people that actively think all they hear (listeners)).  I in these cases have found myself as a Sapphire (audio out (speaker)) and note that in one communication spoke a lot to the person without getting them talking.  Some Jets will be okay without a need or desire to speak, though in the case of another, they too have their own inclination to speak.  I let them speak.  If I shift myself from being a Sapphire to a Jet (or Pearl) I can learn a lot about the other person, and also allow them a chance to process their issues/stuff.  I guess the main point is that I am aware I talk too much (sometimes) and that I'm learning the value of letting other people speak.

Anyways, short post, keep at 'er, and if you find yourself talking too much, just stop, clarify why you are speaking, and take concern for the other person.  Let them share with you.

Thanks
Robert

From a Badlands to a Sapphire.

The title of this post is explained as such.  Once a person has seen and heard that of another, they then can respond with their own voice.  The other idea (the one that made this posts title) is the link of how Kelsey Scyner was labeled as a Badlands (due to red and black as her favourite colors) and how I've now labelled her Sapphire as being so supportive and giving to me.  To call another a Sapphire is a high compliment, though also can be a complaint.  As a Sapphire being 'audio out' the complaint might be that one interacting with a Sapphire might not have much room or space to speak them-self.  The comment or compliment of calling one a Sapphire is that they've demonstrated deep trueness and loyalty (and/or support) of the one who calls them that.

This post though too is the 9th in the dualland series.  The Badlands is the dualland that counts as both a mountain and a swamp.  It can produce one point of red (fire (anger)) or one point of black (not always death, though symbolized by a skull).  The Badlands are those who are also very visual and also listen well (which might mean a Badland label or two is not so seemingly well put)  I'm also not certain about how a Sapphire can cause a Badland, though it does make sense to me.

Anyways.... the last dualland that hasn't been explained is a Volcanic Island.  This dualland links a Sapphire and a Ruby.  Through the node of a Sapphire link (and the Ruby of a Badlands) an Underground Sea has linked this up to the pup that I used to live with.  There are so many and so few that see the intellect and deceit of blue, that the Ruby is one not two, though the fact is the contialis is to renew.  There are two noded duallands for the Volcanic Islands, and in the future posts, I'll want to use abbreviations for some of the duallands.

VI - Volcanic Island
TI - Tropical Island
BL - Badlands
US - Underground Sea
Bayou will not be shortened.
Tundra will remain true and noded
Plateau's are out there to be seen and thought
Savannah's should be spelled properly
Scrublands don't like their name, though are noded as dualistic
and the Taiga's are not like the cat.  They mix crew from one, and node well too contialitically.....

Sooo... the duallands have been explained.  A Jet noded (though uncertain of their mana description) and Kelsey Scyner, even though noded as a Sapphire, you're such a Pearl!!! XP

PLUR y'all....
Robert

Don't forget about the Savannah....

Two noded at this time.  One the coiner of the reference to/of Kyeta tribe, and the other a strong contialitic link that is rarely seen.

The mix of a Savannah is Pearl and Emerald, or rather white and green.  The rhyme link to this is "Link to the Savannah as another tribal planna'"  Although this is a force of rhyme by using 'planna' instead of 'planner' it's just one of the original links.

If I use the Savannah as a direct reference of myself in my current position....  Through contialitic activity (Pearl) I recall a past name (Emerald) where I can now say "I am neither an alien or a ninja, it was just a clever name."  There are MC types (and I note I'm not an MC) where the Emerald/Pearl cross is where the person is an avid freestyler, though in thought and not spoken word.  This does include the tribemate labelled as a Savannah.

The other link of labelling them as a Savannah is how they are a crew based entity.  They stay well in the mix with quite a few people and also have an influential mind.  The notion too of their order and protective qualities are solidified in white mana, and also have the life and knowledge aspect of green.  Anyways....  I'm wanting to get through the duallands in these original posts so we can get on to some of the more interactive and inter-relational mixes of us here in the contialis.  That word is referenced a lot, and for those in this esoteric click of Moxes and foxes, we'll have quite the mix.

Good luck, God bless, and thrive!
Robert

And for Steff, the explanation of 'Tundra'

Counting as either or both a Pearl and/or a Sapphire, a Tundra is a key person.  They help keep the balance of the thought from the Contialis in a situation and organization of truth.

At the point of this blog, there are only two Tundras.  One Steff, and the other a distant/great friend from past Kyeta days.  More-so of the Kyeta friend, HIGHLY contialitic.  A very involved thought based person, and with the Sapphire link, a good friend.  Sapphires meld well with Pearl's (more-so with Jets in some cases).  The shift of a Tundra from being a solid primary friend can though lead through to the white part of a Tundra, though, as loosing the person to the contialis.

The duallands also are not 'hard'-noded.  Although 40 people can and will comprise the group, there too is the mix of Moxes and how they meld.  I've not done a great explanation of the interactions, though if you have any questions, ask me, and I'll form an answer.  Specifically to Steff, you have been called a Tundra as being more lined as a Sapphire as due to your chatty nature and loyal qualities.  The Pearl link is just because I like your personality, and also how you're well formed.  You suited the Pearl part of your 'blueness' as not as strong or bold as a Ruby, not linked to death as well as a Jet, and also because I don't like thinking of you as an Emerald.

okay, that's it for now.... keep at 'er and please get at me with questions.
Robert

Don't we all want a Tropical Island?

Baseline... Tropical Island.  Counts as both a forest and an island.  It can produce one point of blue, or one point of green mana, when tapped.

Introversial Significance - The mix of a Sapphire and an Emerald.  A true friend, and a crew based person. The mix of two to three or three to two.  Both mixed as being part of the group, and also as a direct link or dyad.

Introrelational node - A friend who lives in Lethbridge.  This person today gave me some advice and I shall draw from it.  The neat thing about this person is the dualism of how sometimes they will be very verbal (lots of Sapphire (audio out)) though too noted that I'm wondering if Emeralds are also true people that want to include and help grow (green mana being knowledge and life).  Maybe that's the direct node.

Tropical Islands are people that show the blue duality and also are wise about life.  ???

Yes or no?  Uncertain.

This blog post is the 6th in the line of duallands after the covering of the five Moxes.  The last four duallands will be discussed, and I thank you for reading....

Robert

How does a Taiga affect things?!?!

Taiga - A dualland that counts both as a forest, and a mountain.  One point of Green or Red can be drawn when the card is tapped.

Taiga - The reference to one I nicknamed 'EQ' as their musical node and also their communication abilities.

The code - ....   A Taiga is a mix of red and green, a Ruby and an Emerald, and also shows such mix.  An Emerald is a group of three and shows how the addition of a Sapphire can result in the shift.  If a Ruby is in battle mode, and a Sapphire (one true person, or a group of two) is added, the result is an Emerald.

An Emerald again - A group of three, or a stylish tactilic person linked to turtles.  A Taiga is a mix of how a group can be affected with addition of people.  One person + Two people = Emerald.  (A Ruby + A Sapphire = Emerald).  Three Ruby's also node as an Emerald (a crew (a group of three)) and also node out as one group of Three (Emerald) can splay out to three Rubies.   (Splay=Shoulspeak word=When a group of three becomes three individuals).   An Emerald can also break apart as one group of three into a pair and another which is when a full splay is not made.

The significance of a Taiga is very strong/influential.  The Taiga holds power of their own force in conjunction with others.  When three strong Rubies are brought together, their power as a group of three (Emerald) had great potential.  The other fact is that visually, red and green are both very opposing, and allow for strong juxtaposed energies.  Only one Taiga has been noded in my own personal Dualland grouping/noding/labeling, and IS a very influential person.

From a Sapphire....

I used to own an Alpha Bayou!

A Bayou is a Magic card that is a dualland, a combination of green and black (swamp, and forest).

The pairing of green and black is significant in it's own dualism.  Green is (according to WOTC (Wizards of the Coast)) symbolizes Life and Nature, while Black symbolizes Death and Decay.  Where (color-wise) White and Black seem offset by color, the symbolism of a Bayou seems more juxtaposed.

As of writing this blog, there are only two Bayou's at this point.  One used to live at Kyeta Place and was (when I was more focused on turtles) given the label of Splinter, as they were the oldest and also seen as a teacher.  The other is a great friend who likes playing Magic (and lets us use his cards).

The mix of a Bayou, though, can also be mixed by the Emerald/Jet cross.  The notion of that is that a Bayou is really self-enshrouded.  They often might prefer to be a listener (Jet=audio in) and also are set well in their own perception of their body and feelings (from the characteristic of an Emerald as being tactilic and/or feeling)

I as an Underground Sea share the similar Jet (listener) characteristic, though as when paired with either of the two Bayou, my Sapphire (audio out) surfaces too much resulting on my nattering away without checking in with the other.  This could be good with a Bayou in that they are more inclined to listen, though noted too that the symbolism of Growth can be building, though I should be cautious due to the black link of Death and Decay.  Again these codes seem way out there, though using the dualland and Mox code, I form a more unique sense, perception, and understanding of reality from my own perspective.

I'll delve further into trinal and group dynamics later, though will note another point about the basic Moxes in this post.  A Ruby is solitary, usually symbolized as a single or primary person.  A Sapphire is a good codal link between two as a dyad.  An Emerald link is that of a group of three (and linked to turtles) through/towards a Jet which is four.

I'll carry on and through more in the future, and hope the interlace of these codes becomes more well understood.   (I'm just not sure why)

What happened to the Plateau?!?

Plateau.... cross between a Ruby and a Pearl.  Ruby=visual, Pearl=thought/intuition.  Plateau, the imagined visuals or shouled visuals seen internally.

If you catch yourself daydreaming (or night dreaming) you have processed imagined visual information.  If an invasive Pearl is shouling with you do a third degree visual shouling, they are actively seeing exactly what you are seeing in their minds eye.  A friend (who's not yet been noded in dualland namesake) possesses the ability to see themselves through the eyes of another.  One of the Badlands girlfriends also has referred to this ability as 'remote viewing'.  When people are remote viewing, this is a 'Plateau' activity.

The Plateau is also a code name for another person in the mix, although there is only one Plateau at this time (considering of calling the friend in the past paragraph a Plateau due to their abilities (especially the contialitic part).  The mix of a Plateau also is that they are a very solo-soldier of things.  With the battle link from their Ruby, plus their contialitic force of a Pearl.  Anyways... I'm nattering....

Plateaus are dangerous.  They have strong power of red, plus the invasive characteristics of an intrusive pearl (noted few pearls are invasive, though some are strongly aware of other's thought due to their mental abilities)  Noted though to the title, where did the Plateau go?

What's an Underground Sea?

It could be the undercurrent of the contialis.  It could be the sea of minds and ears that have wound through clubs and parties that are off the mix.  There is a drink to link the smink as another thought to think....

According to Moxes, an Underground Sea is a very auditory person.  A current of spoken word is heard by the Jet from a Sapphire (Jet=audio in... Sapphire=audio out).  So pretty well, an Underground Sea is a successfully communicated message.  That's part of what I'm trying to do with my music and creative stuff.  To convey information and or thoughts through text, writing, audio and video.

The other part about the daulland people, is that I classify myself as one of the Underground Sea's.  I also think of William Wordsworth and his poem "It's a Beauteous evening"

William Wordsworth : It is a Beauteous Evening

It is a beauteous evening, calm and free, The holy time is quiet as a Nun Breathless with adoration; the broad sun Is sinking down in its tranquillity; The gentleness of heaven broods o’er the Sea; Listen! the mighty Being is awake, And doth with his eternal motion make A sound like thunder—everlastingly. Dear Child1! dear Girl! that walkest with me here, If thou appear untouched by solemn thought, Thy nature is not therefore less divine; Thou liest in Abraham’s bosom2 all the year: And worshipp’st at the Temple’s inner shrine3, God being with thee when we know it not.

William Wordsworth (1770-1850) 1802

This poem was one that I wrote an essay on Fall 2010 at UFV.  I only got a B-, though I like the poem.  The reason I note this poem is how there is a strong internal force of the Sea, and how it is said that heaven watches over it.  This is like how I seem to think that heaven watches over me here on Earth, and that there is great strength in the Sea (similar to that of a glacier).

Quick version.  There are four Underground Seas (2 noded at this time).  They are a mix of Jet and Sapphire, and they too contain a great force that is yet to be understood.

Thank you
Robert

Scrublands and a Ruby....

To excel as their duty as a Sapphire!

This post includes the first post about duallands.  Dualland's are cards from the game of Magic:The Gathering that count as two types of basic land, and also can generate one point of mana of two different colors.  In the Shoulspeak code, they also are included and help explain Mox mixes.

The Scrubland is a combination of a Jet and a Pearl.  There is one specific person that has the 'Scrublands' name, and the other three haven't been noded yet.  The person in reference is a highly contialitic person, does well in groups of four (without necessarily being a turtle), and also harnesses powers of order, protection, decay, and death.  Again, the dualland group is a group of 40 people (4 of each type of dualland) and are primary people in my mix of society.

The title of a Ruby (again the Mox that produces Red) is connoted as a primary, (sometimes solitary or solo), passionate, visual, and battling person.  If I stem myself out as/from a Ruby, that would be that I am a visual person that is solitary and devoted, and also that I face battles (often with myself).

Scrubland is also a name I gave to a rapper in Vancouver because they almost always wore white and black, though they really didn't like the name, and I was too oblivious to concern to stop calling them that.  Their friend wore red and black most of the time, so I called them the Badlands.  I want to hear what music they've made, though have (at this point) been too self-absorbed to search it out.

The last note on the Scrubland at this point is the gladness that they are at home, that their battle with the power of green will be won, and the hope they prove to be a Sapphire true....

Good luck y'all...

Robert

What about the white mana?

The fifth part of the Mox/mana code is white mana.  I have attributed the characteristics of a Mox Peal as being a soft, natural, and intuitive person.

If all things exist, and mingle with other bits of matter/energy in the world, this brings forward the notion of 'The Contialis'.  The contialis is the society formed through all conscious thought.  This includes animals, plants, and even as some psychics would agree even that that is non living.  If an object exists, it is a still a thought, or even the manifestation of a thought.  If all energy that exists is collectively 'God', than the fact that each of us exist in our own reality shows that we are ALL part of reality.  (There are some theories about alternate realities, and I could write on that later).  The main notion of all things being linked and interconnected is not a new idea.  The sign out for the post "The fuel of Green" is also congruent with the contialitic theory.  We have 6 billion or so humans on Earth, in one reality, Earth.  The notion of the contialis though is that all things are either a thought, have the capacity of their own thought, or both.  If there is one person that 10 people each have a different belief about, how can all ten ideas be true?  This might show the elements of how thought is not always true.  If a thought isn't true though, it still is a thought.

Be careful of what you believe, and what others too believe of you too.  We are moulded by the realms of time in space, and I ask us each to be granted the grace to be who we are, what we are, and how we want to be so.

Thanks and love
Robert

The tone of a Jet.

The mix of black mana is part of the Mox code.  The ideas of Consect and Tonect are linked to this, and are talked about in this video.  Jets are tonal, intergalactic, listeners and can generate one point of black mana symbolized by a skull.  All Mox references are trademarks of Magic:The Gathering by Wizards of the Coast.

A Point of Blue.

With a slurry of words to the second Volcanic Island today (with my own lack of communication and continuing on a 30 minute plus monologue) I've brought myself to the 'magandang damo' again.  This is not reference to green, though rather the patch of grass where I now lay to type this blog post.

As a Sapphire, a lot can be said, though there too is the fact (I lacked) about how a Sapphire is two.  With blue (audio out) without taking the time to ask questions or listen, I have been selfish in getting what I have said said, and sometimes have forgotten to include others in communication.  I am very very glad that I had the chance to say all I had, though I also feel regret for tonight/today's conversation in being a total one-sided monologue.

My mom had asked me last summer "Your life is just one continual monologue, isn't it?"  It seems, mom, that that still is too true.

The topic of this blog is to discuss blue mana.  Some 'blue' words are lide, katana's, cos signs, Leonardo's, Sapphires, and my own dualland name, Underground Sea.

The notion of an Underground Sea is that the person can both function as a great listener, or one who speaks way too much.

The mana of it (again the mana, Mox, and dualland references are stemmed from Magic:The Gathering by Wizards of the Coast) is staying (in this note) as blue.  A Sapphire is noded as 'A true codal speaker'.  Leonardo (the blue turtle) uses katana's (a voice, a mouth, or a cough) is the primary speaker.  This sine's out to that blue mana is outward sound and is also symbolized by a tear.  The SEW (Socio-emotional word) 'lide' is of blue mana too.

Lide - The experience and awareness of sadness to the point of tears.

Cos Sign - When a word in flow is used with another rhymed word in a different flow at the same time.

As thusfar the first three blog posts have been about the basic RGB of mana, I will delve on either 'The Contialis' or black mana next post.  Please (if you haven't) read the first two posts 'The power of Red' and 'The fuel of green'.  As blue is a codal link, it also makes sense that this post was a lot of code and Shoulspeak.

Thanks and love
Robert

The fuel of Green....

Some are convinced that if they stay purely to marijuana that they'll be okay.  I have a different opinion, which doesn't include just the psychological effects.

My belief is that dope really does mess with the mind, and I can't back my side up well enough as when I was using marijuana I was also in with mushrooms (which goes to another point when people say if you stay purely to the natural drugs, you'll be okay)  I just don't think it's a good idea, and cannot impress well enough to persuade some to keep away from dope.  Who's life is it that I should be telling them to do other than that that they do.  I probably don't have the right to tell people what they should or should not do, even if it is drugs.  Is it similar to my mom telling me that I should not smoke cigarettes?

I cannot justify my point, and will not engage in arguments about dope with some people.  I also note a friend went the hospital a few days ago to they psych ward triggered by the use of dope.  How can I help people stay away from dope?  Should I tell them that a nice rich and fulfilling drug life leads to being 33 years old and working at Wendy's?  Should I tell them about how I got jacked for selling dope three times at some point in the past?  Should I tell them (with the intent to sway them from drug use) that there's a whole shitload of other stuff that goes on around the drug market?  I have no idea.

The choice that I make is to not smoke dope.  I do smoke cigarettes (which some think is worse), it is other people's lives, though I guess those too are in my life.  I'd prefer to stay away from dope as to the links that are surrounding the notion, and I guess that I can't do a hell of a lot for others.  What if marijuana is good for them and their lives?  What if it fuels their creativity like how I made up all the Shoulspeak?  What if it makes their lives more enjoyable and free of pain?  What if it is a vital link to them and their friends and actually draw them close in friendship?  Does this then lead back to the notion that as long as people aren't hurting others, they should be free to chose what they do and do not do/consume?  Every person can probably rationalize their actions, and I'm not sure what place I have in helping people with their lives.  Best I can do is to continue to do what I can do.

Six billion subjective realities in one objective playground.

The power of Red...

Granted, red is a powerful color.  It also very symbolic to vision.  Red is also primary to the mix and the color of the July Gemstone which is a Ruby.  Wizards of the Coast made the game Magic:The Gathering and in the first three runs of the initial card base, Moxes were created.  Stemmed from that, I use a code based on sociological noding, and also the use of paired combinations.  I recognize that the creation of such a code is a copyright infringement, and should probably restructure my language to not make such breaches.  If this is the case, a lot of reworking must be done.

The use too of referring to The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle's also must be renoded.  In that code I created a fifth and sixth turtle; Sublime, and Genuine.  Even though sourced from coding of the original four turtles, the idea is that, though using the idea, Genuine and Sublime are legal uses/ideas.

Shoulspeak is also used, and although some words were stolen from people (Julianna's word 'scunge' and Gloria Doran's word 'sminking') the definition's were changed.  Fortunately, there are some words and ideas I use that are my own creation.

The idea of the word shoul, is not sheol.  The 'eo' spelling is hell, while the 'ou' spelling is used as in regards to a sharing of soul.  A visual shouling (in the first degree) is merely extended eye contact.  A shuriken shouling (a Genuine shouling) comes in different forms of intertwined fingers, and a shouling of the 'Sublime' type is telepathy.

Through the course of time and space, I shall learn to structure my communications to not be so heavily reliant upon codes and abstract thinking, even if the ideas were (at one point) consuming.

Please check in on this page every so often to learn and read more of the involuted trip that I hope we may share collectively.

Thank you
Robert
