You know what is funny for me is, sometimes I post something that really synthesizes a fresh perspective, like painting with new colors, a piece that shouts for attention. And then I am disappointed that it just gets treated like anything else I have written, like mixing up dragon fruit with oranges or apples.
Dragon fruit? Like I wrote the piece about why light has a velocity, and the piece about where UFOs come from. One of my favorites is titled, "What is prayer? (followed by a prayer)" Another is "The stranding of the human race" where I compare us (badly) with dolphins, whose mass strandings demonstrate the highest level of community consciousness and off-the-charts empathy whereas our stranding is just self-destructive. Another of my favorites is about how our warrior veterans, if their PTSD nightmares were treated by an indigenous shaman, could very well be initiatory, qualifying them to be powerful healers.
Why my title for this post? Well just a little backstory: When we are in North Palm Beach for three months a year, we like to go to the farmers market. At the market there is a produce vender who hawks his produce with a fake Brooklyn accent. (He is really entertaining, for example offering one minute sales -- 2 lbs of produce for the price of one.) Now, I admit that my posts are not to everyone's taste, just as some people may not like, say, dragon fruit, no matter what kind of deal the guy with the Brooklyn accent is offering. Even if I'm hawking a pretty plausible explanation for why UFOs are not of extraterrestrial origin, they move on to a different vendor who is selling body lotions or whimsical ceramics. But I would argue, eat my dragon fruit, it's good for you!!
Anyway, at the risk of being judged indulgent and self-centered, I am thinking of posting links to my favorite posts on my blog, Nine Waves. Just think of me as the veggie vendor at the farmers market with the Brooklyn accent. Posts have a currency that diminishes with time. Just like fruits and vegetables, they have a shelf life. I would be negligent if I did not hawk my list of favorites, say, ten of them. So, stay tuned!
