It’s better to fight an atheist than someone who believes in heaven. That person is going to flail w razor blades etc. to make sure they get to that elusive exclusive place. Christians win wars a lot. I’m not a Christian so … Less fights occur within and outside of me. This is heaven now. Why would anyone fight to have a plastic form of this fading rose? This is why man made God. There is no such thing as beauty in a plastic rose, We wont see each other again. ✌️ Do with that what you will. I suggest you breathe in and feel it now that you know the truth.
Have no fear. Professor Riley believes in you. The here and now is the only kingdom of heaven and there is peace available here in every step. You’ll be ok.

Lyrics:
Sycamore Tree Written and Performed by Damien Riley
Your leaves are weathered through the beams of sunlight your auburn cherry color leaves you are 100 maybe less and maybe more but you are old and that’s for sure and I long to ask you why you’ve seen many battles in lost in your day you watched as the Ku Klux Klan came by your way I know you had to hold your anger when they hung that man on you swung a rope right over your branches and swung his body through and I long to ask you why sycamore tree time takes its consequence and you were always mine. I was too young to be told you were our oxygen and we cut you down despite. I don’t know and I can’t see so I’m running away, where they can’t catch me you watched as Franklin Delano Rosevelt walked proudly by people were coming in from all around. They were climbing your branches high, but I know you wouldn’t have waved even if you could have her majesty still & silent, never would have and I long to ask you why Sycamore tree
I knew when you asked me to write that letter of recommendation as your professor and you got into Juliard I know that was the end. Your YouTube stuff is just the cream on top. Best my babe! 💜

The face of poverty will never be this alluring, especially not in 1842 realism. Make Great Britain Great Again¿?
The irony here for me as I picture a toothless tweaker pro Trump High Desert woman singing it and yet they’re the ones that want to age the billionaires. I do not get it I do not get it I do not get it I’m not going on Facebook.
Beautiful thought! In 2024. Trump and now his party are barely human imo, if human any iota.
Before it rots yes. Pick ’em while their ripe or almost ripe. One project at a time babe. Tell me this isn’t insanely smart and right and fucking ingenious in truth?!?! Some days I have to prioritize my low hanging fruit. Get it?
Don’t like me? FUCK off why do you come around here? Shooooo go away shooooo. We’re caring and feeding our inner monster here. You need to get lost. If others if you stay, thanks. This wisdom is not your reward. Being close to me is. You do get a thanks from me energetically though. Automatic, every time you think of me or something here. How was yer day?
I value very much that I am able to gain what I call “book mastery” over a novel or other genre or category of book. This is the ability to read and comprehend a story or a concept of self improvement, psychology, or whatever the type of book I’m reading is.
My musical singer-songwriter-genre EP masterpiece titled Manzana is now available everywhere incl. on Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Spotify.
I’m able to gain mastery over what the author is trying to tell me. This partially came about as a result of getting my college education. But way before that I think it probably age five or six I began to read Dr Seuss for example at an early age and get the meaning behind what he’s trying to tell me as the reader. Book mastery is just part of an “any item I choose, albeit artistic entertaining or helpful, mastering textual stuff is my most valued superpower, if you will. There are many faces to my trust in my proven superpower of things, anytime and always. I’m proud of that virtue and skill I possess.

When I get a new semester class as a professor I get to a place of mastery over their names. It takes me probably longer than most people, especially, and I mean this in no demeaning way toward the goddesses called “women,” am definitely not a chauvinist, I put their sex on the higher pedestal than my own, But mostly I find women are quicker than men to develop that mastery of names as teachers. For me it never comes easy but I do have the ability to do it and I guess I’m thinking of it today as valuable because I finally know the names of all my students I have roughly 160 students.

So gaining book mastery is probably the thing that I’m most thankful for about myself. For my entertainment and improvement, I can create a movie of a book in my head that is far more powerful, moody and enjoyable and has far more depth than watching a director’s rendition of the same book. As you probably heard people say a hundred times I saw the movie, the book was better. I talk on this a lot at my podcast. Please have a listen! Subscribe to hear the latest, first
Every time I walk by the library at the college where I work and I see books that are discarded, abandoned/submitted on a shelf or they’re on a cart and they say “free books,” I always make sure and pilfer through that shelf for would-be treasures for my mom n. I’m most thankful for the fact that I am still at 55 years old able to get into text and get book mastery at will.
