    i’veben thinking…. not sure i want all the answers really, where would all the excitement go!!!!and mystery,and one victorian philospher said that without the pain we cannot really and truly experience the pleasure, one exentuates the feelings of the other – and if we had too much pleasure we would enjoy it less. hhhmmm, i think i will think on that some more!!!! :>) great image linaji xx

  • linaji replied

    SUUUHHHH don’t tell Linda.. the answers are all within… lolol we see them when we are ready sure.. and then we go to the parts of us that remind us that we do indeed have the answers.. though our feeling journey.. no words.. xoxoxothanks so much!

    I was going to answer this earlier, but I couldn’t find any words..OH YEAH, Writer’s block! Anyway, I figure that an elevator could help you out of writer’s block by playing you music, not the usual “elevator music” but your favorite inspirational music, good-old-days music, with speakers on all the walls and floor and ceiling, so you could soak in the songs like a hot tub and relax that mean old writer’s block right away!!

    And there’s this thing about listening to the answers when they come, there’s 2 voices we hear not 1, the loud voice, the one that comes from the ego/body is all about personal comfort, fears, anger and hate, hunger, like a great big whiney baby, while the quiet voice, the voice of the soul, God’s voice, is almost drowned out by everything around, that’s the reliable one;Tom Selleck, in the series Magnum, called it his “little voice”, intuition, 6th sense, whatever, that little voice has saved my tiny butt many times, at least once I learned Trust.

  • linaji replied

    I READ THIS TO TK.. AND WE BOTH WERE CRACKEN… you ever think of being a comedy writer??? really this is good stuff Syd! I enjoy your visions for this series.. and you know what Hallmark is making a huge mistake when they do not give you a office on the …11th floor!!!!

    KINKS : non-album songs
    Elevator Man
    I’m the elevator man,
    I take people up and down all day,
    Some get out others stay,
    Some get off some go all the way.
    I’m the eklevator man,
    I see lots of different faces,
    I see losers going nowhere,
    I see winners going places.
    I take ‘em up and I bring ‘em down

    Everybody goes up and everybody comes down
    Everydody goes up and everybody comes down

    Dirty old man with wanderinr eyes,
    Lookin’ at bums and tits and thighs.
    Macho man with rub on tan,
    He’s the man with wandering hands.
    People with dandruff, spots and pimples,
    People with warts and scars and dimples,
    They push by don’t give a damn,
    I’m just the elevator man.

    I see them go up and I see ‘em come down.

    Everybody goes up but everybody comes down,
    Everybody goes up but everybody comes down.

    I see the timid and the insecure,
    I see the confident and self assured,
    They all get out when they reach their floor,
    But I always know I’m gonna see them once more.

    ‘cos everybody goes up and everybody goes down,
    Everybody goes up but everybody comes down,
    Everybody goes up and everybody comes down,
    Everybody goes up.

    Yeah

    I’m the elevator man,
    Lots of people pass me by,
    No one thinks I give a damn,
    I’m just the elevator man,
    I hear confessions, watch expressions,
    Silent madness and depression.
    I hear rumours, conversations, little facts and relevations.
    ‘cos what goes up, gotta come down

    Everybody goes up and everybody comes down,
    Everybody goes up but everybody comes down.

    Everybody goes up and everybody comes down,
    Everybody goes up and everybody comes down

    Everybody goes up and everybody comes down
    Everybody goes up

    Yeah

    is it block, writer, painter, work etc – or is it lack of focus, too much focus, laziness, preoccupation – or just life? if I had all these thoughts words etc floating around my head – I would go for another glass of something – dave – so cool

  • linaji replied

    I was going to go out the door.. but when I saw you made one more comment I got so damn excited.. thank you David.. this is it.. what is it but FOCUS.. TOO MUCH.. more than likely.. the answer I believe.. is go do something elese.. and yah. if you feel like a bit of a bevy.. gulp!!
