Love, Gratitude and Appreciation - Love, Wisdom and Creativity - I have alot of love for Susanna, more than I can express. My love for Susanna is not romantic love, nor is it the love one feels for a close relative or the love one feels for a close friend. It is the universal love everyone can feel for everybody, but the connection is more personal. I admire her ability to be approachable yet strong, I adore her smile and her wit and I love her warmth, wisdom and understanding. I cannot express my love because I cannot convey the importance of our first conversation or the radiance of her smile. One conversation with Susanna, my first conversation with Susanna, 'The Chat' changed my life. I believe that every conversation changes your life because you carry the information from that conversation with you for the rest of your experiences but that first conversation with Susanna, that first chat, changed my life in a profoundly tangible way. It is all the more profound because I had no idea at the time that it was so life-changing, even immediately after the conversation when I was aware that I had learned alot I was still not in the least bit aware of how what I had learned would help to shape my future. Our first conversation - It started as a nice conversation between a young man and an older woman and it's still a nice conversation that seems to continue whenever I bump into Susanna. How did it start? I think she might have given me some tobacco so that I could skin up, but that is unimportant. The chat took place in St Georges Theatre also known at the time as The Circle Community Centre - that is important. 'I remember a place called St Georges Theatre A vortex with sacred geometry I used to live near to Full of Peace Not Warriors and Rainbow Tribes that I cared for A time and place my life got better and weirder' But I digress, as per usual. - Hide quoted text - During this conversation I learned three very important things from Susanna - 1 - The existence of The Rainbow Tribe. - 2 - The history of travelling clans, tribes and families. - 3 - The importance of women - 1 - I did not know at that time that the next Rainbow Gathering would be held in England, or that some of the people who had become my friends were already well respected Rainbow Tribe-members. Most people do not know that the Rainbow Tribe exists. It existed in prophecy for thousands of years and it exists in reality right now in many countries.The significance of The Rainbow Tribe increases when one realises all that it encompasses because it can encompass all. I am not qualified to tell you what it is, where it is or who it is - there are people who are alot more involved and have been for longer than I knew of it's existence. However if you research then you will find. <Indeed if you 'Google' you will find> - 2 - I did not know then that what has become rave culture, festival culture and the free-party scene is a culmination of various cultures coming to an amicable understanding. I knew that dancing to repetitive beats in a club on psychoactives, and especially in a field on natural psychoactives, is akin to what shamen and tribes have done for thousands of years in Africa. But I was not aware of the recent history of the free party scene. You see Susanna had seen it all, she had seen the 60s hippy movement, she had seen the punks not getting along with the hippies, she had seen the mods not getting along with the rockers and she had seen the ravers not getting along with the police. What she had not seen until St Georges Theatre was all these subcultures in synthesis, all these 'tribes' outcasted from 'society' forming their own society based on love and trust. The fact that St Georges no longer serves this purpose is academic, those that were there know it can be done. But the discussion of tribes was more universal than token titles given to subcultures of the 20th century. She has knowledge of Celtic history and she has extremely strong family ties to African heritage and she saw similarities between the Celts, warriors who chose to travel to foreign lands, and the black Caribbean warriors who were forced to travel to foreign lands. Susanna was from a warrior background, despite the fact that she consorts with poets and hippies her immediate family had a strong military history. Also despite the fact that I found her warm, understanding and affectionate there is a determination in her voice and a steely look in her eye that leaves me in no doubt that she is a force to be reckoned with. In Susanna's experience, and in my own, descendants of both the Celts and the Africans tend to find each other and resonate with each other as I was resonating with Susanna. "I'm old enough to be your mother, probably even your grandmother yet because you don't have any pre-conceptions about who I am we are able to have a conversation as if we'd known each other for years." It was over a year ago she said that, so it's probably a mis-quote but she said something along those lines and it will stay with me. The point is, and please pay attention because it is an important point, that all the tribes came together; the punks, the hippies, the mods, the rockers and the ravers united to fight against the Criminal Justice Bill. In the wake of that unity that brought subcultures against the police we have autonomous communities which would welcome ageing policemen to a cup of herbal tea as readily as a teenage anthropology student. The Criminal Justice Bill was a negative act (if I can be permitted for temporarily accepting duality in this existence) but resulted in unity. My personal opinion, an opinion shared by ex MI5 agent David Shayler, is that President George W Bush commited a seriously negative act on 9/11 which has resulted in never before seen international positive unity. So never give up. - 3 - I did not know then about the importance of The Mother as an archetype or as an individual. I have always adored women and I have always considered myself a feminist if the definition be that I believe in equality of the sexes rather than the definition of 'man hater' which many so-called feminists seem to believe. I did not know that The Church had done all it could erode the importance of women out of The Bible, nor did I know the importance of women in Druidry. Mother nature is a Goddess they failed to repress. But it was on the more personal level that Susanna's wisdom hit home - the simple fact that only women can ever know what it is like to have another life inside them is so obvious that I never considered it. I suspect the majority of men don't consider this idea until they are fathering a child and I also suspect that even then most of us probably repress the idea. A mother sees the world through very different eyes, a mother (a friend of Susanna's) told me that when she sees Saddam she sees somebody that needed someone to wipe his bottom for him at one point in his life. Psychedelic experiences can give you a brief glimpse at the Oneness and inter-connectedness of everything, but I imagine pregnancy gives you a 9 month continual reminder of the interconnectedness of life. I am reluctant to speak about the menstrual cycle because, being a man, I am highly unqualified. However the 13 moons of the year and various other natural cycles follow the same 28 day pattern which makes women aligned with nature on a subconsciously profound level. The importance of the mother was something I would not even begin to grasp fully until my rebirthing ceremony 6 months later. Susanna helped me to appreciate my parents, if they hadn't brought me up well I would not be the type of person who would spend such a long time speaking to someone old enough to be my mother! But it was obvious that neither of us were the type of people to judge someone by appearances or to leave an interesting conversation. I see Susanna when synchroncity permits - at The Big Green Gathering by the Brixton Cafe, at Unity Works 2012, at The Synergy Centre on the eve of New Years Eve etc. It was more than a year later that I realised how much I appreciate who she is. When I saw her recently my heart rose in my chest and I embraced her like a long lost relative. There were other things I learned during our first conversation. The continuing existence of the Bardic tradition for example was something that resonated with me deeply yet it was only much later that I accepted my role as a poet as opposed to 'a rapper that often performs poetry.' Susanna is the only female battle chieftain recognised by the current incarnation of King Arthur Pendragon and due to her warmth, wisdom and immediate understanding of who I was and what I am yearning to be I love her more than I can hope to express.

For page 2 I have decided to show off the talents of some of my friends and intermingle some of my poetry with theirs.

"But why should honour outlive honesty?" William Shakespeare,'Othello'.

Adam Vortex - March 23rd, 2006...

Hey Bruvva,

Hope synchronicity is flowing and things are going well for Metatron. Have
been thinking of you and the amazing things we have been doing for the last
few months.. Its really put a lot of things into pers�rctive to come out
here.. I cant believe how high weve been flying back at home.. its quite
inspiring really.

Things are cool here. Palenque,..celebrated the Equinox by taking mushrooms
and sleeping in the temple.. was very trippy..from the lights in the sky to
the shooting stars to the winking Paleides.

Am feeling most inspired so hears a new poem just for your site..

There's no way you can feel low,
When you're in Palenque, Mexico,

Nothing is as it does usually seem,
It feels like walking in a dream,

A place to let go or a place to find,
Another way to realize your mind,

Munching mangos every day,
Listening to what the Shaman say

Yoga in the morning, mushrooms at one,
This is when we do begin the fun

Singing and dancing all day long,
Writing the most astounding song.

Sneaking into the temple late at night,
Unconsciousness is full of lucid insight.

For it is the mighty Maya,
Who will take us even higher..

With Love from Mexico,

Adam xx

There Is Love (Be Free)

There is Love and there is Light
Making all the world look bright
But if someday the world seems to become all damp and blue
Remember reality is a complete creation,
Not a place of battles lost and devastation .

Invinoveritas - In wine there is truth
Views highly regarded by much Western youth
So much time to waste in an over populated spaceHedonistic style living, not enough people giving.

Life is a game of chance, you see
It becomes essntially letting your mind be free
Meditation, Va Pashna, can help this cause
So sit back, relax, put your brain on 'pause'.

So many people, rush all about,
Their minds are so active, so full of doubt.
How quite content does the Dalai Lama look,
I don't think he got that feeling from a British history book

Just look at that smile I always say.
Clearly feeling enlightened - come what may.

Western society has alot of growing.
Will the waters surpass, keep the energy flowing
Through all the people and back to the Earth?
Get ready, hold on now... Prepare for Rebirth!

It's okay, consciousness is increasing, minds are awakening.
But will it be enough or is the trouble lurking
We can but hope and we can but pray
That by 2012 we'll have seized the day.

But the truth is that we have to start now.
I realise you may be left wondering how.
So recycle, re-use and polish your skills.
I'll be waiting to see you on Glastonbury Hills.

Avalon is waiting for anyone who
Has worked on themselves, come you know what to do.
Be kind and compassionate to all that you meet
So when judgement day comes, you'll stay out of the heat.

Therefore the advice that I give you is pleasant and free -
Be nice and be merry, most important just be.

Death is such a funny thing.
A cycle in essence, completes the ring.
Life is for living, or so they say
So go grab a moment, seize the day.

The truth is there's no way of knowing
What lies ahead, or which way we are going.

I know I don't know much
But what I do know, I know such
Things we learn to help us so
In suffering in pain we grow.

There's no real deception, only clariity
Amongst many frustrations and self pity
What we learn here is a ride you see
So be careful and at most be free.

You Complete Me

Beauty of the highest kind.
Found in every corner of your face.
The centre of your being.
The very meaning of grace.
You are the beginning
The middle
The end.
You are me
My best friend
I belong to you
with my very core..
you are all I want.
Nothing less
Nothing more.
You complete me.
You make me whole.

You are my mind.

My body.

My soul.

Giving but never recieving, utterly broken ... and close to tears

And she travels up to the empty bed
Lyrics ringing in her head
with tears starting in her eyes
she draws the covers up tight
and burrows underneath
so that she may find sleep
yet all she finds is (dreams of) you

***

She'd like to say shes sorry
for things turning out this way
She'd like to take it back
and kiss it all away
She'd like to say she faked it
and that it wasnt true
but then again she knows
she never could lie to you.

Movie Review
Current mood: geeky

I'm feeling trivial.

What The Bleep Do We Know? The CGI characters were wicked but the story with the deaf girl was shit and unnecessary. Good actress though.

The Punisher Frank Castle wouldn't wear beige trousers. Not unless they were camo.

The Vega Brothers Vincent Vega is the name of John Travolta's character in Pulp Fiction. Every geek knows that. However how many of you knew that in Resevoir Dogs Michael Madsen's character is also a Mr Vega? His name is never said in the movie, but in the credits it's Mr Vega. I am a super-geek of the highest order. Where was I? Oh yes, Mr Tarantino did say once upon a time that he had plans for a Vega Brothers movie but when asked about it during (or was it after) the filming of Kill Bill he stated that Madsen and Travolta were too old to play their younger selves (both characters die in their movies.) Damn right they're too old. But the idea was so good I wouldn't let it lie. Then I had an idea - MANGA. They could still do the voices! Now, what have I done with Quentin's number?

Elegy

I knew you once before you died,

Before they lay you in the ground.

Before the maggots roamed and writhed,

Upon the feast that they had found.

I knew you once before you died,

Before your corpse lay cold,

Before the mourners moaned and cried,

As the earth took you to hold.

I knew you once before you died,

Before my life was dull,

Before I lost the will to try,

And my life became less full.

I knew you once before you died,

Before you left me lonely,

Before my sorrow, I had to hide,

Became my one and only.

I miss you so,

By Elerinna

Honesty - An exercise is futility

Few people meet people as honest as me so they rarely believe what I say.

If I tell you you're beautiful it's not because I want you to feel good. It's because I want you to feel good and you're beautiful.

If I tell you you're talented it's not because I want you to feel good. It's because I want you to feel good and you're talented.

If I tell you you're funny it's not because I want you to feel good. It's because I want you to feel good and you're funny.

If I tell you I think you're fantastic it's not because I want you to feel good. It's because I want you to feel good and you're fantastic.

If I tell you I'd like to lick your neck, kiss your earlobe and run my tongue all over your body it's not because I'm a naughty boy. It's because you're beautiful, talented, funny, fantastic and I'm a naughty boy.

Kev the Poet


"I'm broken down and hungry for your love 
With no way to feed it
Where are you tonight? 
Child, you know how much I need it.
Too young to hold on 
And too old to just break free and run

Sometimes a man gets carried away,
When he feels like he should be having his fun
And much too blind to see the damage he's done
Sometimes a man must awake to find that, really,
He has no-one...

So I'll wait for you... And I'll burn oh
Will I ever see your sweet return,
Oh, will I ever learn
Lover, you should've come over
'Cause it's not too late."

Bloody Fucking Hell!

I Am Having an AMAAAZING time!

It took me about 4-5 days to land (my spirit was
exterminated by the plane), and even though I knew all
I was seeing was incredible, I found it impossible to
connect to anything (due to the absence of my spirit).
So I found it impossible to connect to any spirit
here. This made me frustrated, and blah blah blah
bl....

...and then I met a Mexican local after
travelling to Palenque (PHAT MAYAN RUINS!) who sold me
some fresh... locally grown... WILD Champinons Magic!

I went into the jungle; which surrounds Maya Bel - the
fantasmic communal space of Cabañas, Hammocks (of
which one I purchased) & spectacular travelling
hippies, music & tropical flora & fauna, where, (in
the depths of the Jungulation) I went through an
eternity of the most extreme cleansing and self
acceptance. It was not easy, but it Was inevitable, so
I wasn´t scared. I just allowed the Jungle to enter
me, and untangle all the emotional knots which have
been tied, one on top the other, from the moment of my
birth. The Nature here is so immense that the
mushroom is merely a conditioner which allows the
spirit of the forest to enter you... it is not the
mushroom which does the work, as is more the case when
"tripping" in an urbanitum.
I was completely regressed down to my essence (God),
where I met myself (after confronting different people
in my life, leading backwards into the past to my
father, and then, last but not least my mother). When
I found the unspeakable self, after being battered,
squished, contorted, drowned and brutally yet gently
untangled by the spirits and sounds of the rainforest;
I found myself sat inside a crystalline hyperspace of
perfect calm and eternal gravity where I (godself)
said to myself, "You are now at the centre of infinite
strength. Now you know this place; Get up and do what
needs to be done."

Maya Time, indication of inevitable Rhyme.

You were one of the people who came to me in the midst
of this journey, and you made me gleam with potent
joy. Your energy here was felt warmly, and the fuzzies
soothed the tears of release.

I wish I could be with you for metatron. My sp
