11-07-2025 … Day 23628 (TGI Friday)
I cannot believe I forgot to drop the Friday meditation into today’s episode. Oh well. Wasn’t meant to be. Anyway that got me to thinking that maybe we should expand to a ten or 14 day – fortnight – schedule. One Monday can be Monday and the next can be Moonday. Maybe it will help expand the creativity and variety of the show.
The change in climate has got the vessel reacting as it should – sniffles and sneezing and stuff. I cannot remember the last Autumn I spent “up north.” The weather is beautiful but windy and it’s those elements that’s got the vessel adjusting. There’s usually a three day adjustment period. The way that We understand it for the health of the collective is not exactly as I would explain it to others. Maybe you’ve had this experience: You heard the “process” explained to you and you have adopted it with great success. Success to the extent that it has become habit. You just do it. The vessel responds and all is lovely. Then some doubting Thomas or Curious George ask you how you manage to do this.
Well by this time you have forgotten the explanation. Let’s use an “out there” hypothetical.
Way back in grade school some speaker came to assembly and was talking about how the hair on your head grows and how to keep it growing all of your life. So you began that practice. But as the years passed you forgot the details. Maybe you forgot some points that came back to you as you watched those Hair Club For Men ads in the middle of the night. Anyway, you are now in your silver years and 90% of your contemporaries are bald. One of them asks you how the hell you kept your hair.
You’re trying to think back 50 years to assembly and all you remember is bits and pieces. But one item that stuck with you was – “It’s more about what you “don’t” do to lose it, than what you do to keep it.” And there’s some spiritual fragments that you share. But because you cannot recite exactly what your process was in a linear fashion, it sounds like malarkey.
Nonetheless the results are undeniable.
Now take this to a “spiritualistic” level where the “success” of someone’s “spirituality” or “connection to source” is not displayed by the hair on their head or the Rolex on their wrist – but in a sense of ease and “contentedness” that is around them at all times. You ask them how they did it and maybe they can remember changing a perspective or something.
There are two, maybe three very subtle perspectives and perceptions the “broke the spell” that women seemed to have had over your humble and younger vagabond.
Standard disclaimer is in place – This is not advice.
First of all I realized that I was “their” prize – not the other way around. Dudes think they have a prize for a night or two … some bragging rights. Do you know what a “prize man” means to a woman? There’s literally not enough space to list it. Women almost only talk to other women about this “prize” because men, except for Gay men, don’t want to hear it. But look into it.
Number two – I asked myself if I would bother being around this woman if I was not tryna “hit it.” Most of the time the answer is no. Believe it or not the answer became “no” even more often when I was consciously and intentionally asking myself the question.
“Whoa!” That’s what a friend of mine said when I told him. Because it was kind of a revelation to me. And although I have more time these days – it’s way too precious to spend dirty dancing with dames that We are not interested in, or can see – sense are ... trouble - (or "troubled".
So we were talking about trying to explain stuff that we have internalized so deeply that we don’t have to think about it anymore.
That’s where your humble vagabond is these days and has been for just over half a decade now. Oh my – it’s actually nearly a whole decade. The “grace” – the catch-all word for the state of being – which has only grown since the end of 2016 when we started “Freedom Year.”
I did not expect to get this much done. We are running in a “fun run” tomorrow. Up before dawn and done before breakfast time we expect.
No frills. Here are the numbers.
