Watch
for Greatness

What is so great about greatness?
Why should I wait despite the lateness?

What can words express about the core of existence?
What can song reveal about the center of human witness?

Words can summon judgments for what is true.
Singleness of mind rules out falsity for you.

It is from primordial existence that things unfold.
Subatomic bonds provide atomic hold
while genes create the cells for life as known.

When these as gifts are arranged
eager service is not disdained. 

Evolution takes generations to change
a physical function in a characteristic range.

There are exceptions to every rule.
The hummingbird hums a different tune.

When elements in nature are rearranged
creation is the flux that caused the change.

The bond between atoms is the cause that holds
the things that can be seen and known.

Primal bodies reproduced to make the world. 
Each sprang from a mixture of things swirled and curled.

If all sprang from all, 
we would be locked in a continual brawl.

Any might take its origin from any ping.
No seed would be required to reproduce the thing.

Men might rise from the sea or land as a scaly breed.
Full fledged fowl could burst from the sky with speed.

Horned cattle might be observed without herds
butting any bump, licking any stump and chewing any bird.

The same fruit would not hang on olden trees as they are incurred.
The wild would haunt with the variant offspring of the absurd. 

Each might grow from any by chance or change 
were there not limits to the bonds in the atomic range.

Substance is produced from the fixture of bonds.
Life emerges from the resurgence of carbon in protean wands. 

Each birth is produced from the seed for the kind. 
Each life springs forth upon the shore of the sublime
from its own stuff, from the primal part of kind in mind.

Convergence is that act which precedes the bond.
Assembly is required for the parts to move on as one fury bound bomb
beyond the sound of one mess of parts pawned as a furibond fawn.

All from all cannot become a unit of some substance won.
There would be no emergence for the person to exceed the bodily sum. 

The monkey and the crab had a contest on the sand.
The crab ran from side to side to try to leave the land.

The monkey reached high 
to show he could touch the sky.

He moved in the way
to delay the crab's exit from the fray.

The crab raised his claws
to attack the monkey paws.

The monkey danced away.
His fight was just for play.

Their reaching for the sky
has become an astral tie.
The constellation is a mark for time.

You may think of me
as ordinary 
but I am by no means
to be seen 
as a source
as common as quartz.
I am a timeless primal force.

From a rock I was born to course
as energy from the mountain forest.
I come from the ebullience of flowers and fruit for the florist.

I am pure, unrestrained, perpetual motion.
My powers cause a great commotion.

Miracles are an easy test.
I can race through time at eternal rest.

Transformations are easily seen.
I travel as though I were in a dream.
The magic staff that I keep 
can sow a seed or start a reef.

Each part is like a hidden flower.
Each atom sings of eternal power.

I can hear infinity in me.
It's more stable than a tree,
yet I am immutably free.

Your soul is the most choice of countries.
Charming masks mask sundry monkeys
looking to evolve as something.

Performers make music in a minor key
about love and careless fortune seen,
but they seem to mistrust their own fantasy.

As their song melts away in the sad quiet light of day
the birds chirp softly in the trees and fountains spout ecstasy past the sight for sway
of sighs from pipes encased in the sensuality of marble delight arresting decay.

Was consciousness about the past
ordained to last 
or was it cast 
to trash?

There was a time 
when we adorned ourselves with hides.

Now the same substance
is clothed with cloth circumference.

A man possessed with trash that lasts 
stood downcast waiting for the storm to pass.

He faced the power of the storm to defy the law.
His vision was limited to the things wrong with what he saw.

He felt that he should be able to kill without the threat of lethal imminence.
His definition of threat was too open to his convenience.

The sun sank below the warm mountain span
to cast the shadow of man upon his wanton plan.

His wife called for the baby at her breast.
She told him: “We will stay here and rest”.
The man lifted his eyes and onward pressed.

He walked through foothills in the face of sky
that confessed deep folds in the gaping eye
as it looked at him from a sober place
to say, "I am ready" from the height of space.

He remembered his wife and baby.
He picked up the pace to trace the hope that maybe
he could make his fortune for his child and lady.

He walked or hitched for a month of days
offering to work along the way.

His destination was determined by what had been heard
about work. The determination held less promise than the spoken word.

He allowed no inkling to look behind.
He pressed on to see what he would find.

When he reached the end of earth,
the sky was cast in the darkness of re-birth.

Crimson lightning at the horizon’s edge
foretold anger from the void about the mortal ledge.

The possessed man pleaded for his song to be concealed
from that maddened face now revealed.

The father for all exiled from desert barrens
appealed to the transient from the mountain errand.

“Extend the ends of this tent for me 
so safe and concealed I will surely be.”

When they set down some weights of stone
the blond one looked at the man and intoned:

“Do you not see him?” Then the vagrant replied,
"From this specter I can never hide!"

The descendant from the mountain in city slums 
surveyed turf from heights and played plastic cans as drums.

He set around his shack a massive wall 
so the eye would not see him at all.

The possessed said: “But, he sees me still!”
The mountain man blurted: “Yes, but only 'til
I build a wall so damn imposing
you mofos will recoil before proposing
to besiege it or  raise the ground.
We’ll build a panhandler TransAnt profound
and we’ll lock it down.”

So the manic mechanic, the descendant of smiths 
built a homeless shelter of gargantuan width.

It wasn't very sturdy. The materials were weak.
It wasn't fire resistant. Destruction would be easy to  reek.

They guarded the feeble structure from each and every one.
When that left them bored, they launched arrows at the sun.

The alien sancto-forum grew dingy and infernal.
Shadows from the city made the night seem eternal.

They threatened legal people with a sign upon their 'gate.'
It said: “God will never enter our retchid city-state.”

The Junkman told the mad one, “That eye is surely gone.”
The madness of possession said "You couldn't be more wrong.”

“Please,” he plainly pleaded, “Put me underground.
The miners of the darkness don't have to bear the sound
or sight of anything more from outside or around."

“But you’d be dead!” said the Junkman. "That would be the score!"
The mad one misquotes the raven, "Forever nevermore."

He walked down the stone steps to the tomb alone
from the shelter of the shroud to the dwelling place for bone.

Once he reached the darkness of that eternal space
the eye stared back from the visage of that angry crimson face.

The seat of judgment is a frightening place
when destruction is the object for disgrace.

The watch from the mountain
engaged in red letter accounting.

The angry prince from the giant fish
dispersed the raids on the ineffable wish.

The leaders of the earth trembled when they assembled.
They had a task to perform for law to function on the level.

A covenant was formed to work at whatever degree for each.
The constitution was the keep for what we have heard and will see in reach.

The city for the angry prince had to face the dove for destruction in dispersion.
The people found their higher ground in repentance for conversion.

The city of God is a prayer for meaning in the temple of being.
Debate and petition provide the mission to adjust our way of seeing.

Leadership in time takes courage.
Creativity is half a flourish.
The word of love seeks to nourish.

Your name is raised in praise to the world's end.
Your work is the goal to which our will does bend.

Deep in the fathomed mine of never failing skill
lies the treasure of defined design in accord with sovereign will.

Don't judge sovereignty with the feebleness of immediate sense.
Behind each challenge lent in providence lies a grace which is immense. 

Honesty that is set by truth provides an objective standard.
It is a treasure by which to measure action as a regal banner. 

Behave in a manner in which you could will for others
and law will become the guide by which you watch for druthers.

Life repeats you and me
when we behave accordingly.

The special generation of love
fits your hand like a glove.

I want to believe with trust
that this love will not be shaken by us.

Should a million years pass us by
we can reflect upon the looking glass with a sigh
and know that we lived with class in time.

Love me more than you did in the past.
Had you loved me most, it will have been surpassed.

When we meet to investigate some demand
our speech will seek to stand as grand.

When we go somewhere the way is forward
even when it leads to the corner of the border.

Having fun is our duty as humans.
Play explores imagined ruin
to avoid the actual as pursuant.

The prestige of seed stands
as a responsibility that lasts.

Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly

The fragrant red ixora announced
the torrid swallow tale of flutter with a bounce.

Greed is not a defect in the gold that is desired. 
but it burns the man who serves it as perversely as a fire.

My beautiful vision is shining bright for us
I can just imagine the future thrust as just.

It seems like I can grasp it.
We'll get past what is wrong with this.

All of the praises I received when I was young
are in my heart to be sung and sung for fun.

My mission is a position 
to treat this condition
without a head on collision.

It only took a minute 
to drop myself in it.

Come toward the open sky of heaven
above the mounting steps of ascension.

The dream that was my target
was a haven above the market
beyond the incarnate garden.

The triumph of this juncture
is to sculpt the horticulture.

The lonely tree stood beside the rice field
clothed with the grain it has yet to yield.

The jasmine on the vine
took just a moment to climb the frame in time
next to the house of the local mime.
The growth of green and white has grown so high.

I felt like I had become a mature adult.
My heart was just too busy and lonely to consult.

My tears won't stop the reverie
as I'm embraced in memories.

Greatness is a goal that drives.
Lateness is the toll to survive.


48 Magnus Dominus

1 Great is the Lord, and highly to be praised; *
in the city of our God is his holy hill.

2 Beautiful and lofty, the joy of all the earth, is the
hill of Zion, *
the very center of the world and the city of the great King.

3 God is in her citadels; *
he is known to be her sure refuge.

4 Behold, the kings of the earth assembled *
and marched forward together.

5 They looked and were astounded; *
they retreated and fled in terror.

6 Trembling seized them there; *
they writhed like a woman in childbirth,
like ships of the sea when the east wind shatters them.

7 As we have heard, so have we seen,
in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God; *
God has established her forever.

8 We have waited in silence on your loving-kindness, O God, *
in the midst of your temple.

9 Your praise, like your Name, O God, reaches to
the world's end; *
your right hand is full of justice.

10 Let Mount Zion be glad
and the cities of Judah rejoice, *
because of your judgments.

11 Make the circuit of Zion;
walk round about her; *
count the number of her towers.
12 Consider well her bulwarks;
examine her strongholds; *
that you may tell those who come after.

13 This God is our God for ever and ever; *
he shall be our guide for evermore.


Social Contract
2 Sam. 5:3
So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron; and King David made a covenant with them at Hebron before the Lord, and they anointed David king over Israel.

Honest for Truth
2 Corinth. 12:6
But if I wish to boast, I will not be a fool, for I will be speaking the truth. But I refrain from it, so that no one may think better of me than what is seen in me or heard from me…

Commission
Mark 6:6-7
Then he went about among the villages teaching. He called the twelve and began to send them out two by two, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits.

Local oral history links several properties in Richford with the Underground Railroad.
The Catskill Turnpike was brought through the village on its route to Ithaca bringing considerable traffic to the village in 1816.

Rockefeller was born into a large family in upstate New York and was shaped by his salesman father and religious mother. His family moved several times before eventually settling in Cleveland, Ohio.
Rockefeller became an assistant bookkeeper at the age of 16.

He went into a business partnership with Maurice B. Clark and his brothers at 20. His brother William and he founded Rockefeller & Andrews with Samuel Andrews after buying them out. They concentrated on oil refining instead of drilling for oil.

Henry Flagler entered the partnership in 1867. The Rockefeller, Andrews & Flagler company grew by taking-over local refineries. Rockefeller formally founded his most famous company, the Standard Oil Company, Inc., in 1870 as an Ohio partnership with the addition of Bostwick and a silent partner, Stephen V. Harkness. He ran it until 1897.

Rockefeller's wealth soared as kerosene and gasoline grew in importance.  He became the richest person in the country controlling 90% of all oil in the United States at his peak.

Oil was used throughout the country as a light source until the introduction of electricity. It was used as a fuel after the invention of the automobile. Rockefeller gained enormous influence over the railroad industry that transported his oil around the country.

London's traditional status as a major port declined dramatically in the post-war decades. The old Docklands could not accommodate large modern container ships. The principal ports for London were moved downstream to Felixstowe and Tilbury.

The docklands area had become largely derelict by the 1980's. It was redeveloped into flats and offices from the mid-1980s onwards. The Thames Barrier was completed in the 1980s to protect London against tidal surges from the North Sea.

William is a member of the British royal family. He is the elder son of Charles, Prince of Wales, and Diana, Princess of Wales. He has been second in the line of succession to the British throne after his father since his birth.

William obtained a degree from the University of St. Andrews. He spent parts of a gap year in Chile, Belize and some parts of Africa. He completed 44 weeks of training as an officer cadet and was commissioned in the Blues and Royals regiment in December 2006.

He qualified as a pilot by completing pilot training at Royal Air Force College Cranwell in April 2008. He then underwent helicopter flight training in order to become a full-time pilot with the RAF Search and Rescue Force in early 2009. His service with the British Armed Forces ended in September 2013.

William married Catherine Middleton on 29 April 2011 at Westminster Abbey. He was named Duke of Cambridge, Earl of Strathearn and Baron Carrickfergus hours before the wedding. The couple have three children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

Bush was born in Pasadena, California. She was the only child of Maureen and Charles William Bush. Her mother runs a photography studio. Her father is an advertising and beauty photographer.
She attended the University of Southern California (USC) as a journalism major.

The 1970's saw the rise of gang violence in Pasadena. The trend culminated with the 1993 Halloween Massacre. Three teenagers were murdered by members of the Bloods gang and three more were wounded. This led the Pasadena Police Department to crack down on gang activity.  The activity receded in the mid-1990's.

The bubble economy for Japan collapsed in 1990. A massive fall in Tokyo land prices was triggered.
The boom years ended in the 1990's. The entire nation entered two decades of economic stagnation. Tokyo's real estate bubble had burst.

The pessimistic mood was deepened by the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami. Tokyo was not directly damaged, but it suffered from shortages of electricity and the economic impact of the earthquake. Complex manufacturing systems were disrupted.

The rock group Sharam Q originated in 1992. They were not an instant hit, but their fourth single “Jokyo Monogatari” (Going to the Capital) broke the top 50 of the Oricon charts. Tsunku was the lead vocalist.

The band began auditions for a female vocalist in 1997. These auditions aired via the reality show Asayan. Michiyo Heike was crowned the winner. Tsunku decided to give five of the runners-up a chance to become a group in their own right.

Yuko Nakazawa, Natsumi Abe, Kaori Iida, Asuka Fukuda and Aya Ishiguro were given the task of selling 50,000 copies of their demo single "Ai no Tane," in just five days. The girls sold the required number of copies in four days. They became an official group.

Morning Musume's debut single, "Morning Coffee," was released on January 28, 1998 on the One Up Music label and charted at #6 on the Oricon weekly chart

She watches female K-pop artists dance to get ideas on how to perform. The sex appeal that they display sells their performance as a marketable product.

2012
https://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/26/travel/uncovering-the-secrets-of-fukuoka.html

Fukuoka has chic boutiques, laid-back bars, a fantastic high-and-low dining scene and beaches nearby. It sits on the northern tip of Kyushu, the southernmost of Japan’s four main islands. The city is nearly equidistant to Tokyo, Shanghai and Seoul.

Relatively few tourists have discovered the spot despite its assets. That may soon change with the new transport links.

Cruise ships began docking in the port in 2009. Ferries from South Korea and China had been going there from before then. The Kyushu Shinkansen high-speed rail line was completed in 2011. This line linked Fukuoka to Kagoshima on the southern tip of Kyushu. Two new low-cost airlines, Peach Aviation and AirAsia Japan, started flying to Fukuoka from Osaka and Tokyo in 2012.

"Journey to the West"

Monkey is the ninth in the 12-year cycle of Chinese zodiac.

The dignified Chinese official title of marquis was pronounced 'Hou' during the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BCE). This is the same as the pronunciation for ‘monkey’ in Chinese. The animal was thereby bestowed with an auspicious meaning.

Sun Wukong 孫悟空 is the Monkey King of the classic Chinese novel “Journey to the West.”  西遊記   It was written by Wu Cheng'en 吳承恩 in the second half of the 16th century CE. It tells a fictional and romanticized version the the Buddhist monk Xuanzang’s real life pilgrimage from China to India in the 7th century.

Monkeys are well off socially. They are best suited for dealing with other zodiacal signs such as snakes, dragons and rats. They tend to have few negative relationships. That said, their connection to tigers and pigs are usually tenuous at best. The crab didn't seem to like the way the monkey acted on the beach very much either.
