Solomon, possibly the wisest man who ever lived, said these words in Ecclesiastes 3:1: "For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven”.
With this in mind, I am compelled to put aside my normally modest and self-effacing demeanor and brag like Cassius Clay.
On November 9, 2023, in my Substack post entitled I AM A DIRTY ROTTEN LIAR, I wrote about consulting the I CHING and the bible regarding Joe Biden’s appearance in the book of Revelations (specifically, Chapter 13). I predicted that Joe Biden, the legendary Beast of Revelations, having 42 months to deceive the world, would be out of office by July, 2024. On June 6, 2024 I was compelled to post that I had made an error. Remembering that the Big Guy was sworn in to office on January 20, I recalculated my math and changed my statement to reflect the fact that Joe will be with us for another ten days.
I promised to stop writing on Substack if the oracle and John the Revelator were wrong. We are getting down to the wire, now; so I thought it fitting to meander a bit, here.
I stumbled across a poem I wrote fifteen years ago and I thought this would be a swell time to print it. Here goes:
It doesn’t rhyme and it probably can’t really be considered a poem; but it was fun to write.
And speaking of fun, I’d like to share with my readers the ten ‘Stacks’ that I most enjoy. These are listed in alphabetic order and I do not want to show any favoritism. Without further ado, these are them:
ALCHEMY OF A JOURNEY by Kert Lenseigne
AMERICAN FAITH AND FREEDOM by Jim McCraigh
CULTURAL PHILOSOPHICAL FIREWORKS by AK Smith-Ford
DAVID’S THINKING ABOUT THE WORLD by David Poe
FREDERICK R. SMITH SPEAKS by Fred
MINDCUROLOGY by mr ma
NASCENT LIFE by Joe Keysor
THE OCEANIC STATE by Oceanic
ONE FOOT IN THE GRAVY by Bill Heath
THIS IS THE DAY by Jason A. Clark
Of course, there are many other excellent writers, many of whom I’ve not heard of, but I wanted to brag these guys up while I’m bragging.
I guess that’s all for now. I was going to explain how to do the INNER SMILE MEDITATION, but it is explained better by others. You’ll hear from me again on July 20. God bless and fight the good fight.
Oops. I neglected to put Joe Keysor's NASCENT LIFE in the list before I edited it and corrected my error.
many thanks for the mention of Creative Philosophical Fireworks. and the support which I am so blessed to have. Thank you for consuming my content when it comes out. Thank you for sharing the poem Mr. Clemens.
