Not sure how this was missed but many thanks. Haven’t written as much as has been planned, but try to do it myself much as time permits. This resonates quite well.

@Bod

What a pleasant comment, gave me a giggle, introspectively; I find so many comments are loaded, ready and waiting…I’m sure a few here will laugh at that admission.

I liked your voice. And I could hear it.

Autodidact you say, is there any other way?

I also spent my youth running truantly, from priests and aged relatives, who would tie me down. Off I would go as soon as the muse whispered the word into my ear, the wildness of Ireland as a boy was the playing fields. School… what a bore, for a knight, or the Lone Ranger, or William Tell and Ivanhoe. They, the enemies of children were far to slow to catch a gutter snipe, they are a rare bird, it seems the species is almost extinct now, not too many around anymore…them and Huckberry Finns. Now it’s tablets and cellphones…corrupters of children

I always liked Finn, and have wondered why Twain called him Finn. ‘Finn’ was also a great Irish Hero, Fionn mac Cumhaill (Old Irish, pronounced…Finn McCool). I think Twain read the Irish.

I have wrestled with word meaning my whole life, and semantics has been a great interest. I too am not far from a dictionary.

If Horrible and Horrific are the same things, then why are terrible and terrific opposites? But then again, jumping on someone when they confuse there/their/they’re is really just an ad homonym attack.

So…a little joke for you Bod…

The past, present and future walked into a bar. It was tense.

A great portion more of freedom for you Bod and a child heart to hold to it. For only an old child would know how to use such freedom.

Thanks, Jon! Needed small jolt, but bigger bump still! Done small writing prior, but getting busier (or soon to be) than the proverbial one arm paper hanger!

Thank you so much for this. As an individual creativity and inspiration are constantly beaten out those around me. The majority feel powerless to their own distractions, leading themselves throughout life with robotic inclinations into a never ending dispair. If they only knew the power of their own imagination combined with inate empathic tendencies, they could remove themselves from the mental and emotional prison complex perceived as reality. To “wake up” is not enough. Devising a organic symbiosis by recognizing the real from the false, while extinguishing the latter is a life long journey that few will ever embark on.

Thank You Jon.
I was fortunate enough, to have lived the huckleberry finn lifestyle to a reasonable degree as a child, I frequently truanted from schule, and was in the main, an autodidact.

I recall being kept back in the second year of juniors (age 7 and 8 years old) as had learning difficulties.

run spot run, see spot run, was really the cause, I overcame that hurdle by compulsive use of dictionary and the building of ‘word-trees’ as I developed my understanding and love of the english languor, I mean Language.

46 years on, and the past 5 years reading your articles, have renewed my childhood ‘freedom’ of thought’ as well as making me aware, that soon, I shall have to purchase exit the matrix, in order to develop the Logic that has been absent to a degree in my life, as well as becoming more aware and cognisant with the work of Jack True.

I look forward to that day.

Kind wishes to You [and your] Fellow Readers […]

Regards,

Bod
