yeah, sorry about that ...it was "per instruction". the rabbit hole is going way deeper than i ever imagined. i think i'm feeling better though.

and now, followed by a poem i like by nicommp called Instructive booklet for both poets and lovers:

Tell me, brother; don’t feel in the air
a certain nameless presence?
It is Poetry, in the form of a woman.
And who is she? Its better if you don’t know.
The alchemy of words is nurtured
by silence, chance, and mystery.

But if you are stubborn, and want to understand,
think of all the cosmic coincidences
that had to happen so that
she could be here, in front of you.
In a universe that tends always to the void,
she exists.

And if you want to see her, it’s very simple.
Just let your senses take you away;
perceive the world with bird’s eyes.
Try to feel the atoms that you are made of;
realize that you contain whole galaxies.

But, most importantly, feel the perfume of the air;
and get drunk with it, get deeply drunk with it,
for all things are miracles.

and finally, for reflection:

if you keep up the appearance of being successful and secure then you'll fool most of the people most of the time.

listen with your heart, speak with your hands.

to represent our image, we have the power to show it our selves.

it's just one of the most amazing things i've ever seen with my pants on..
