I just went back and read what I had in my journal on Feb 1st . Wow, that was pretty embarrassing now that I read it with a much less depressed affect etc. In fact, I was going to delete it as it’s such a cringingly humbling bit of weak prose — but now, I should keep it here to remind me of how those biochemical shifts affect my total perception along with affect, and to revisit if I’m full of myself or something.
Well, some of the points were worthwhile, such as the importance of the filter of perception which one’s brain chemistry changes bring…but enough already.
The title is from a 60’s song, Procol Harum…anybody know the song?(In HeldT’was I)

Always liked the way this started and much of the rest too…
I imagined the holy man saying “Life is like a beanstalk isn’t it?” to the seeker and when the seeker soon turns away (perhaps confused and disappointed) he glances back (when the musical exclamation point occurs soon after) to see the holy man looking like a large man sized beanstalk playing that piano (we hear) with his bean pod fingers… a greenish light around him that is both his essence and a glimpse into a wider universe… All of it radiating happiness and contentment
Yah man. Life is like a beanstalk. And a lot of other things too ;-D

Hey Mikey: loved your image in the comment of the seeker. I just so loved that song, quintessential 60’s transcendent undertones for this aging hippie…:D
Appreciate your visiting my humble blog, oo
