Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

MH2: always something rad.

Taking in an MH2 TR feels like being led - by the world's most inscrutable guide - down a path + through a lush and bizarre landscape of the mind.

Thanks MH2 and keep on trucking.

Nietzsche woulda titled this TR "Beyond Good And Evil" because it just is,
but I guess yer more of a Wagnerian.

Passing
Passim'
Only past
And having had to go back
Again and each time
Now?r
No not yet

Now?

No no not yet

This time after rolls and peels
Trolls & wheels,
But cheeba less - so weak
Of orange
Or laughter

With fingers frozen From trying to take full moon freezing photos
This is not a disaster A bit of a cluster though

I'm one to appreciate travels in
our ,
your
My own mindg € A serial snapper & random taker of
Photos
Taken by random
Roll the dice
Pick six
And code see if it fitsDon't post fish
From here to there thanks for this chance

Full Moon could be behind the dizzying heights of comments here. It would be dangerous were it possible I could have a higher opinion of myself.


Or maybe you are all Masons sworn to aid a brother.






edit:

I had a conversation with mentor A.D. yesterday and learned a little about Bald Egos. Just putting the route name here as the third post to mention it on SuperTopo. The others were by Bruce McD and Fish Boy.
