spiderweb #4
see the spiderspinning into infinite
trapping the fly and moth
its funny how you can actually feel as the veign is triumphantly struck and then gradually is dissipated. Only to be renewed in another direction. Impossible to predict yet already laid out before you by the great unknown source. It feels so familiar and obvious like-why didn t I come this way before, or- Ive been this way already in a forgotten dream.
If I wasn t a tiger, Id be a spider. What superb utilitarian artistry. What grace. What inhuman intensity and skill. And yet there is something about it that is so fearfull. So terribly repulsive to most. shivers up your spine.
The girl says- Kill it.
Does it see me as I watch it spin. I reckon it would love to consume me. It would rap me in a silken bundle and slowly drain me of my vital fluids with deadly black needle fangs.
But I feel no pain. Such compassionate venom. It slays and devours me like I am its lover.

Gomi
Gomi seems healthy except for a strangely stubbed tail. Perhaps it was run over by a car. She already has learned to use the kitty litter. Where is her mother and family. Why was she all alone in the forest in the middle of the night. Although she was famishes and quickly devoured a can of shrimp and tuna, she seems well nourished. Why has her fate crossed mine. Before I get too attached I must take her to the vet to make sure she is healthy.
Gomi
Gomi has a strong voice for both mieouxing and purring. The variety of her vocal range suggests she may have a bit of Siamese blood. She is quite energetic and likes to run around. Also she enjoys biting and clawing.
Gomi
Wow, last night I was riding my bike returning from Hapkido practice and I was riding through these woods when I passed by a massive spiderweb. I decided to stop to check it out. As I was examining the enormous spider I heard a kitten cying Help me! I looked under a bush and there was a kitten. And so I had no choice but to take it home. If she survives (im guessing its a girl) then I will call her Gomi. The korean word for spider.
Learning
My drawing skills are being challenged and developed through this job. Art is a universal language so its very usefull especially when the kids are this little. They are only about 5 years old. Its also a form of magic so it has the ability to grab their attention. Remember Mr Dressup. Also important is being able to draw really quickly or they get bored. When class is over I erase the board and start something new. very zen

Hapkido Family
Here we are again on the mountain. Its Korean custom to be stern in photographs. After the mountain we were taken to an incredible outdoor fish market with live octopus wriggling on the floor, live sharks, whale meat!, and a myriad of muli- fishes of every shape ans size. We stopped in front of one place and the grandmaster pointed to about a dozen live creatures in buckets; squid, fishes etc. The ladies start butchering the creatures alive right in front of us. We head upstairs and 10 minutes later its in front of us. Uncooked! We take the pieces and wrap them in leaves and eat them with spicy sauces and raw garlic and chilies. Of course almost every bite is washed down with a shot of soju. I think Ive almost mastered the various rules of etiquette.
Hapkido Family
Here we are with our Hapkido masters on the top of a mountain. Mountain hiking is very popular in Korea but very different from Canadian trekking. The trail is literally full of people all the way to the top and down again. Its like a long line up. The Grandmaster and his wife are to the right. The bottom two are our primary instructors. The fello on the bottom right is perhaps the most physically fit person Ive ever seen. Certainly the most flexible.
Korean Countryside
Here s a typical scene of rice paddies and low mountains in the lush Korean countryside.
Silla Palace
Here s a palace grounds where the ancinet kings and queens of the Silla dynasty used to relax and drink rice wine and watch the gold fish.
Korean Children
Some kids act naughty and some kids are well behaved. It s my job to reward good behaviour and discourage naughtiness

Meaning of Dream about Death: The Dreamscape of Death - Meaning of dreams and dreaming about death
When we dream of death, our emotions run high. Feelings of terror, anxiety or even liberation can dominate our mood upon waking. As with any other type of dream, there is no one answer for what the dream means. Generally speaking, however, dreams about death signify much needed change in our lives. Such dreams typically herald symbolic rather than literal death. In this way, death dreams let us know that some part of the self needs to be radically reworked, whether it be one's attitudes, emotions, or relationships.
Though these dreams may be frightening and may linger in our minds for days, they do come to us in service, challenging us to grow and evolve. Like all dreams, the best approach to those of death is to work with them creatively, looking within to ascertain what is no longer needed in our lives, and to determine the direction in which we should proceed.
People who are themselves close to death more often dream of taking a journey or being reborn than they do of actually dying. Often the dying dream of moving to a new home, passing through gates, or ascending to higher realms.
Remember, our dreams are gifts, even (or perhaps especially) dreams that frighten us. If we acknowledge their messages, we will see how readily they transform our waking lives.

Let Go
Please don t let go just yet
I know
sometimes the world can be so cold
Let loose with the second wind
all my friends are strangers
I ve known them before
The theatre of life is a revolving door
please let go
you know I love you so
please let go

Second Wind
The purpose of this is to help see who and what is controlling events from behind the scenes, to assist in making clear just what kind of demonic forces are bringing about the destruction. It's clear that many people are so possessed by the current reactionary brainwashing that they will be unable to consider any of these ideas. But people throughout the world are waking up to what is going on and they need to see behind the curtains to the real, criminal powers that manipulate human minds and destroy human liberties. We need to see the real face of our enemies.
