two bald eagles stuck in a sewer drain…

I was waiting for the punchline.

Two bald eagles stuck in a sewer drain.
One turns to the other and says, ‘wow – this place is a shithole’.

Hey, did you know shithole is in the Oxford dictionary? lol.

Well, hopefully nobody helped them out. You wouldn’t want them to get all soft, and dependent.

They were fishing. There can be lunkers in storm drains.

How do you know they weren’t on drugs? Crystal Meth maybe. Or Opoids.

I’m not joking. There are fish in storm drains, lunkers too. Even big alligator snapping turtles. I used to catch them as a kid in STORM DRAINS.

So is that the emblem of Amerika now: Two Bald Eagles stuck in a drain ? 🙂

I dunno. I’m gonna continue to make toast and tea in the morning
and just live my life. Trump-Hillary and Republicrats will go on lying, destroying
polluting, fracking, toxic-sludging, drilling, blasting, and making plastic shit.

I’m just gonna drink my tea, slowly, and eat my toast. If someone has a better suggestion
let me know.

Smell the toast.
Smell the tea.
Hear the birds outside.
Be aware of yourself.
Breathe in the universe.
Breathe it back out.
Butter and jelly. Always butter and jelly.

“Now and again it is necessary to seclude among deep mountains
and hidden valleys to restore your link to the source of life.
Breathe in and let yourself soar to the ends of the Universe;
Breathe out and let the Cosmos back inside. Next, breathe
up all the fecundity and vibrancy of the earth. Finally
blend the breath of heaven and the breath of earth
with that of your own, becoming the breath of Life itself.” M. Ueshiba

Moyers: Is that why you begin (Meditation training) with something as simple as eating a raisin?

Kabat-Zinn: …so we say ‘Look the first the first Meditation exercise we’ll be doing isnt
breathing, it isnt sitting in the lotus posture….We’re just going to eat a raisin — but
to eat that raisin mindfully, with awareness. You look at the raisin, feel it, smell it,
and with awareness bring it to the mouth gradually, and see that the
saliva starts to get secreted by the salivary glands just as you bring it up.
Then you take the raisin into the mouth and you begin to taste this thing that
we usually eat automatically.

Moyers: And usually a handful at a time.
.
Kabat-Zinn: Yes, and you’re onto the next handful before you’ve finished
chewing this one…Your life is the sum of your present moments….

You’re surrounding by that stuff, aren’t you?

Well, most of the mountains have been blown up by the out-of-state-coal-barrons
or fracked into toxic-soup by the out-of-state-Oil-barrons.

So there’s that.
