Master of Supernal Mischief

In SUBTERRANEAN PRONOIA THERAPY, Part One Experiments and exercises in becoming a rebelliously kind, affably unpredictable, insanely poised Master of Supernal Mischief, Rob Brezney recommends we each acquire a hand puppet, preferably a funky old-fashioned one from an op shop, but any one will do. Give the puppet a name, he says, and wear it on your hand wherever you go for several days.

In a voice different from your normal one, make this ally speak the "shadow truths" of every situation you encounter: the dicey subtexts everyone is shy about acknowledging, the layers of truth that lie beneath the surface, the agreed-upon illusions that cloud everyone's perceptual abilities.

Glenn Gould

Glenn Gould (1932-1982) was a Canadian pianist most known for his interpretations of baroque keyboard music, particularly the works of Johann Sebastian Bach.
I love hearing him hum as he plays, like dancers who grunt it makes the art more human. He hums on lots of his piano recordings. Beautiful.

Wonderful

Flocks

At Flocks when you have a jumper, mittens, cardigan or even a pouf handknitted you will be provided with details about the individual animals that provided the wool. As one sheep supplies exactly enough wool for one jumper, each jumper is tagged with a specific animal’s ID number, and comes with a certificate: the animal's passport. Information provided includes breed, weight, year and place of birth, and a picture of the sheep.

Home Again

After any courageous expedition it is good to return home for tea and scones. This is the Enid Blyton Principle and works every time. How good does a meal of cold meats washed down with lashings of ginger beer taste after catching a gang of smugglers? It tastes jolly good, that's what!

As a child I loved to escape into the adventures of children who were brave, fair, effective, wise, smart and free to roam the country-side seeking adventure.

Tiptoe With Me

TIPTOE THROUGH THE TULIPS
(Al Dubin/Joe Burke)

Tiptoe to the window, by the window that is where I'll be......
Come tiptoe through the tulips with me!
Tiptoe from your pillow, to the shadow of a willow tree.....
And tiptoe through the tulips with me!

Knee deep in flowers will stray, we'll keep the showers away.
And if I kiss you in the garden, in the moonlight, will you pardon me?

Come tiptoe through the tulips with me!
