The Hazards of T.O.E. Questing - 09-02-2007, 05:01 AM

"Discouragement of natural rebels is no service to a democracy. But (some) people are so scared to allow anyone to foster anything resembling a savior complex, that the dynamism which goes with a reforming zeal is being damped down and lost to the world. Great deeds can only be achieved when we are more than our ordinary little selves. When we are lent wings, we should not reject them, of ourselves or of others."
- Irene Claremont Castilligo

"All we represent to them, man, is somebody who needs a haircut."

"Oh no. What you represent to them is freedom."

"What the hell's wrong with freedom man, that's what it's all about."

"Yeah. That's right. That's what it's all about. But talkin' about it, and bein' it - that's two different things. I mean, it's real hard to be free when you are bought and sold in the marketplace. A'course, don't ever tell anybody that they're not free, cuz they're gonna get real busy maimin' and killin', to prove to you that they are free. Oh yeah. They're gonna talk to you and talk to you about individual freedom - but (when) they see a free individual, it's gonna scare 'em."

"That don't make 'em runnin' scared."

"No. That don't make 'em runnin' scared. That makes 'em dangerous."

I well remember the film Rascal,in those days I went on a few trips (know what I mean)
the ones where you don't any bags! Since then however I have realized that one can find
a natural high from knowing where you came from,and understanding that life is eternal.


The hazards of toe questing as I see them are that whatever you post here or on any other forum is likely to be either ignored,commented on either negatively or positively,
and that you need to remain true to yourself and accept whatever comes your way.


Surely that's what we do don't we Rascal?



regards michael.


Humilty,coupled with boldness,surprises truth to
reveal herself?

Dear Michael:
I've tried not to let fame and fortune spoil me.
Those advantages may yet occur.
In the meanwhile, I'm enveloped in itinerant, mendicant, vagabond obligation.

Best regards to you, my friend.
