Forgetting how to be crazy . . .

It's Sol's day . . . Northerlies are making their way into TulseyTown bringing our first real taste of Fall overnight tonight and into next week.

Not that you need to, but might be pleased to know

that Paul Simon turns 83 today. The singer-songwriter who changed the character of rock music was born in 1941, Newark, New Jersey. Among his claims to fame: he's still crazy after all these years.

and that trail blazer comedian Lenny Bruce was born on this date in 1925 Mineola on New York's Long Island.

Sometimes A Man Stands Up

Sometimes a man stands up during supper

and walks outdoors, and keeps on walking

because of a church that stands somewhere

in the East.

His children say blessings on him as if he were dead.

And, another man who remains inside his own house,

dies there, inside dishes and glasses,

so that his children have to go far out into the world

toward that same church, which he forgot.

– Rainer Maria Rilke translation by Robert Bly

The Way

Lao Tzu told can be said

only by Yang fearful of Yin.

One true metaphor.
