While flying through a recent deluge of “non-spam” emails, I was just flabbergasted at all the “travel deals” and “blueprints” on how to live, how to work, how to…..”: you get the picture! Now I ask you, is it not just SLIGHTLY oxymoronic to present one’s services as “opportunity to expand yourself through travel” and “here is the only blueprint you will need to follow your passion”? Now, a lot of waistlines no doubt get expanded on cruise ships, but none of the minds of anyone who comes back to ridicule the native citizens of whereever they just ate their way back from. Excuse me for my presumptuousness, but NO BLUEPRINT could possibly contain this girl’s passions!
Now that I have THAT out of the way (not being as demure as one of my favorite bloggers), I will follow up yesterday’s post with this:
ONCE WALKING A ONE-EIGHTY (180) AWAY
FROM EACH OTHER–
EACH ON IMPORTANT VECTORS
OF PRE-DEFINITION
EACH ENERGY-BEARING
MAGNETISMS DRAWING
OTHER VOYAGERS
ALWAYS TETHERING EACH OTHER
TO THE OTHER
NOW THE UPWARD CLIMB THROUGH
TANGLED STONE THISTLES
NOW EACH DRAWN
SIDEWAYS,
SIDEWAYS CREATING FORCE FIELDS OF
CACHING THE USABLE
SIFTING OUT THE LITTER
TRIPPING THOSE OTHERS,
PUSHING EVER UPWARDS WITH A NINETY (90) DEGREE
LINE-NET FOR WRAPPING THEM
BACK TOGETHER
AT THE PEAK.
See, folks, the passion driving these tethered climbs cannot be blueprinted and this type of travel comes with only intangible coupons.

We are often programmed Granbee in this modern day world of hard-selling … Our Blueprints?….. arrh still figuring mine out Granbee and making carbon copies as I go along.. But each day I hope I leave a little ink mark upon someones memory codes ..
Love the poem.. Each day I try to “sift out the Litter! ” as I “climb through the stones and thistles”… I get stung very often, but then Nature holds all remedies in her hands.. So I keep pushing on too….

Sue, my prayer for you as you “sift out the litter” while being stung by thistles is that you, too, would have someone, some “other”, heart- and soul-tethered to you in a power vector (90 degree angle maintained) as you climb your own personal mountains! As always, thank you SO much for your thoughtful feedback

That’s right, one way tickets are the only way to go.

Peter, if your one way ticket carries you far enough away, you come back home! Thanks so much for giving me a couple more concepts to address in verse!

Wonderful, intricate thoughts in your poems…! So much depth, so many layers, I love all your poetry and observations.
P.S. (And thanks for the comment on my poem Brink where you mentioned the research on particles that can travel faster than light. That subject fascinates me as well, and there was another article in the paper just this morning on a new experiment that confirmed the first one. Brilliant that you connected that to my poem.) 🙂

Betty, so relieved you, more than anyone, recognized the layers and the depth! And much humble appreciation to you for recognizing the connection between the neutrino research and your poem Brink. This Ninety Degree Power Vector post tells, from my soul, the truth I have discovered to this point about mine and my husband’s relationship!

No, there is no blueprint that will ever build such as is in your heart and so beautifully shared through poetry like that. Betty hit it on the head . . . so much depth and so many layers. Nothing flat or linear here.
I like the commentary at the beginning too. It put a smile on my face.

Miss Demure, anytime I can make you smile, I feel I have won the Grand Prize! Thank you for the heart-and-head perception. And thanks for responding to my “blueprint” gripe!
