July is upon us ... so too Summertime!!!
Let's just hope the temperatures stay lower than we know they're going to get in August and September!
So! What's news?
What's new with you?
How's life treating you?
Yeah, I never liked those questions either ... it's often difficult for me especially, to launch into how I'm doing when someone asks, partly because I'm immediately reminded of the emotional roller-coaster that I'm on ... NOT That you shouldn't ask! It's appropriate to do so. It shows you care. Just be aware, there's never an easy answer because I live on this Crazy Tide of #PAIN, up and down, every day.
Actually, sometimes during the day, I catch myself 'expecting' THE Pain, and then because I've been resting, I get a reprieve! Of course, in Life, there's always an opposite:
when I go and do something like go to the park with a friend, usually I can't help but want to get out of the vehicle and walk a while ... yep ... you're right: BAD IDEA.
But often my body doesn't say THAT in the moment (usu. I'm too excited being outside!), and last weekend my mind was ALL too EAGER to be out in the Sunshine at a Park on the water of San Francisco Bay! Wow! Beautiful!
it's wham-o ... shock and awwwwwwww for a few days afterward. YUCK! That's really the up and down of #disability for me. And where I used to be a very spontaneous person, it seems now that spontaneity has an anchor attached to it called #ChronicPain ...
Anyway,
welcome back to #PainPAL!
THANKS AGAIN for YOUR #SUPPORT!
It really means a lot to me!!!
SO ...
Hey, let's take an excursion into surreality, otherwise know as my poetry :)
A little background about this #poem I've added to the #Blog #post ...
This #Poem is one I wrote just last Friday, a couple days after finding the PARK that you see in the TOP picture, which shows a really great VIEW of the city of San Francisco!!
I hope you like the message of the poem ...
and do try to listen for the rhythm of the #poetry...
Can you hear and catch the tempo as you read ~~ 1 2 3 4 5 & 1 2 3 4 5 &
Of course, then if you feel like adding a comment, that's GREAT too. I really like to hear that first impression... the unfiltered version is fine. I can take it.
Tell me what you'd like to hear more of too.
This has been a long journey of pain and #suffering, and if this blog can help anyone with what you're going through, that's really my aim. Even if it's just a smile, or if, God willing, you receive the greatest #Insight ever, WOW, that would be awesome ...
Here's a great phrase I learned from a mentor:
You've got to be happy with yourself, 'cause you're the only person you'll ever have to live with!!
Just ponder that for a minute...
With that in mind ...
don't forget the cadence:
1 2 3 4 5 &
1 2 3 4 5 &
So here you go . . . .
What You Gonna Do If You're Curious?
By Wylie Linquist 2017 Of course, what did you expect... yes, All Rights Reserved :)
Dancing with the Devil, Demons everywhere
who gives a shit, who really cares...
When the lights go down, & you can NOT see
you looking at you, you looking at me...
what you gonna do, are you gonna pray...
What you gonna do, when forever seems near
the end's so close, all you feel is FEAR...
What you gonna do, when your nerves start to Tear
what you gonna do, when the Devil is There...
Are you gonna Pray, are you gonna Dance
are you gonna Care, will you be AWARE...
That the END is Clear, that the END is HERE
that the END is NEAR, that the END is Sheer...
if you taste the Fear, if you Trace YOUR Fear...
Comes at any moment like a flashlight, black & white, epiphany or insight
instantaneous, contemporaneous, to be ashamed of lust...
Cause Greed is NOT Good, it's not a matter of it should
but a matter Understood, if you care about your Soul...
it makes a Rock to Roll...
if you're curious, is it Time you knew...
Open up your mind, for that you Seek to Find
look for any clue, inspect, observe, experimental learning curve...
What you gonna do, in a lifetime NOW
if you don't learn how, like the milking of a cow...
like an origin and its locus, everywhere right here, sitting near so clear...
What you Gonna do, if you're Curious
no time like the present, so don't get furious, learning is luxurious...
What you Gonna do, if you're Curious
opening your heart first, your mind & your soul,
til you see & reach YOUR GOAL...
understand the Universe, but what about the Scars...
A cause & Effect, for every action a reaction
reach your destination, HOPE brings Satisfaction...
But some Don't care, some have Lost their way
blame others for the losing, not themselves for their Choosing...
But the mirror is Clear, if you Open your eyes
if NOT you'll disguise, the Devil's set of Lies...
The Sound of the details, the timing of a cough,
on the rails . . . . or OFF...
will you keep your mind's eye open, accept True Loves Devotion
the honor of obedience, OR giving INTO expedience...
The either OR, of course That's something We've ALL Explored
in Youth's Exploration, maturation of MIND, BODY, SPIRIT
listening to your senses tell it, or ear to chest to Heart it...
Heart Beats, Repeating Tenor, timing tells the travelers tale
like a grandfather clock tones the hour,
a countenance like the winding, seeking not to fail...
that DUTY had been forsaken, in the tones late Dare...
What do we do, apologize & then repair
less we lose our DIGNITY & no longer CARE...
Results from a Demon's lips & a Devil's Snare
like Toasted Chestnuts, & sipping Wine after the Affair...
Yes someday perhaps forgotten, only NEVER IS FOREVER
& Only FORGIVENESS, which happens after Repentance, may clear the air...
But then, would you open your EYES & STARE
back at the MIRROR seemingly solitary standing there...
isn't it TIME to GROW . . . UP & DECLARE!!!
Time keeps Ticking, so if you're CURIOUS . . . it's TIME FOR PRAYER

Thanks again to everyone for your support
during this time, as I await my next set of
#surgery on each knee.
I just saw the doctor last week or so, and the word is go on the
#KneeReconstruction Surgery. The scans/images show enough evidence
to do the surgery (of course my body/knees have been telling me
this for a few years now!), so I'll keep posting updates as progress
gets made towards surgery and hopefully, #recovery time too!!
Till next time, God Bless you and yours!!
As always, be true to yourself, and I'll do the same...
