Read and act

Traditional highs to conventional mediocraty. The best is always saved and compiles over time.

Enlightened highness or great perspective is the result of knowledge. At the other end is groundedness or the down to earth ability to live in the moment. To stand at the bottom of a tree with perspective, one has no need to climb the tree, for you can see the same view from the ground and imagine oneself in the tree. With groundedness, climbing the tree is the/an experience. Once in the tree, one knows that the view is better than one could possibly imagine, for it is real.

It's a bad idea to post while stoned.

I'd be more worried if he's cold sober.

but is it not true that humans gained most of their knowledge once they climbed down from the tree?

actually, i think the reason humans climbed down from the tree had something to do with mushrooms not growing up there.

So many facists. So many trees. each experience is different.
at the top of the mighty magnolia, there are bugs, itchy bitey bugs whom are there to share your experience and taint the perspective with their gifts of distraction and reminders, the pine tree is painful and sticky and at the top youre mostly wondering how youre going to get down after having broken many of the branches you used to get up, at the top of the banana tree, you mostly get pummeled by angry monkeys and dive bombed by fruit flies, the safest and most pleasurable trees Ive climbed were the tallow or the oak. They are very forgiving and welcoming and you need not always look down for perspective.

Thanks Jeitarium, I mostly got what you were saying and it was abstract enough to mean something to most people who wanted it to mean something. I am wanton ;P

in a few of it's definitions anyway.

This post was meant to be both symbolic and light/humorous and no Im not drunk. I am however going to go masturbate. G’day.

I am utterly convinced that those should be the your last words--ever.

maybe you need some hot angry anal action. Standard masturbation works for me, but some people need that extra grah-oomph...I'll call Pablo for you...he is cheap, thorough and loves his work.

Do you have a problem with women being unabashed about their femininity?
