[Poetry Chaikhana] James Broughton - Not dawdling

Here's your Daily Poem from the Poetry Chaikhana --

Not dawdling

By James Broughton
(1913 - 1999)

Not dawdling
not doubting
intrepid all the way
walk toward clarity
with sharp eye
With sharpened sword
clearcut the path
to the lucent surprise
of enlightenment
At every crossroad
be prepared to bump into wonder

Thought for the Day:

May our eyes see, though our hearts break.
May our hearts break, that they may open.
May our hearts bleed, that we know
life flows through them.

Hi Omss -

James Broughton was a poet and experimental filmmaker associated with the San Francisco Renaissance.

He was born in Modesto, California into a wealthy family.

In his autobiography, James Broughton describes a visionary encounter while he was still a toddler:

I remember waking in the dark and hearing my parents arguing in the next room. But a more persistent sound, a kind of whirring whistle, spun a light across the ceiling. I stood up in my crib and looked into the backyard. Over a neighbor's palm tree a pulsing headlamp came whistling directly toward me. When it had whirled right up to my window, out of its radiance stepped a naked boy. He was at least three years older than I but he looked all ages at once. He had no wings, but I knew he was angel-sent: his laughing beauty illuminated the night and his melodious voice enraptured my ears . He insisted I would always be a poet even if I tried not to be .Despite what I might hear to the contrary the world was not a miserable prison, it was a playground for a nonstop tournament between stupidity and imagination. If I followed the game sharply enough, I could be a useful spokesman for Big Joy.

The family soon moved to San Francisco. When he was five, his father died. James was sent to military school at the age of nine. He later attended Stanford University.

He is perhaps best known for his avant garde films, exploring themes of sex, death, and meaning, earning him a lifetime achievement award from the American Film Institute. His poetry often mixes the Beat Zen sensibilities with a playful, pranksterish quality, summed up by his phrase, "Follow your own weird." (In modern usage, the word "weird" means "strange or odd," but originally the word meant "fate or destiny." I suspect he is teasing us by merging all these meanings.)

James Broughton died in 1999. His gravestone reads "Adventure -- not predicament."

FIBROZYM 200CT, BOTTLE

New from Wobenzym USA, Fibrozym offers many of the exact same advantages as its parent item. Comprised of plant-based enzymes, and a hypo-allergenic, high-purity strain of serrapeptase, Fibrozym normalizes the inflammatory response and improves general tissue wellness.

In contrast to other comparable merchandise, Fibrozym is an enterically coated tablet. Each tablet passes via the stomach without having becoming digested, where they are then absorbed into the blood stream by way of the tiny intestine. It is right here in the blood stream exactly where the enzymes get to work. Other products, which get digested in the stomach, grow to be less effective when they finally reach the bloodstream.

William J. Bernath “joey ramone” (chicago,il) –

I have attempted a lot of enzymes to help with digestion or for discomfort. This works extremely well for each. I have tried Enzymaitc Therapy, and Garden of Life along with other brands and discover this item to be the best. Taken one/2 hour ahead of dinner operates nicely for difestion and taking in in between meals on an empty stomach is great for pain. The dosages would be based on an individual will need, I take 5 tablets, you might demand less.

The Best Way to Germinate Vegetable Seeds

eHow of the Day

The Best Way to Germinate Vegetable Seeds

Planting from seed is an inexpensive way to start a vegetable garden. Seed also provides a greater choice of plants, as nurseries usually only stock a limited selection of seedlings. While seeds can be started directly in the garden bed, the best way to ensure vegetable seed germination is to start the seeds where you can control the temperature, light and amount of water the seeds receive. Sowing the seeds indoors gives you this control and also allows you to give the plants a few weeks head start on the spring gardening season.…keep reading

Reviews: HOW WOULD YOU COMPARE NAPROXEN TO HYDROCODONE FOR PAIN RELIEF?

HOW WOULD YOU COMPARE NAPROXEN TO HYDROCODONE FOR PAIN RELIEF?

Question by edas s:
How would you compare Naproxen to Hydrocodone for pain relief?
I not too long ago had some Hydrocod-APAP 325mgs from my motor car accident, but recently ran out. I identified some Naproxen 500mg in my medicine cabinet and wanted to ask skilled people’s views on how the pain relief feels distinct.

I realize that Hydrocodone is an opiate analegic and Naproxen is an anti-inflammatory, but I would still like to see how individuals evaluate the 2.

——————————————

Answer by davelennv
There is no comparrision. Hydro is considerably much more superior. The Naproxen might give you relief, but will be nothing like the hydro.

Answer by the_only_solorose
the naproxen deals with inflammation, thereby addressing the root result in of the pain….and no risk for addiction. It is not as great as hydrocodone for blocking the anguish sensation….but I would select to use the naproxen if it managed my pain.

Answer by Chas
You cannot compare them,, they are diverse and they effect your body diverse. 1 is for anguish and the other is for inflammation.
Here is a great link you should check out for Rx info.

http://pdrhealth.com

And the 325 you are speaking about in the hydrocodone is the Tylenol in it not the narcotic. You most likely meant five/325 which is 5 mg. of hydrocodone. I take hydrocodone, just a distinct strength each day for a spine injury

And I concur with the RN. If the naproxen supplies pain relief you will be far much superior off taking it. Excellent luck

Most folks dont know this, but an ovulation test will have 2 lines when you are pregnant. LH is very equivalent to HCG so the ovulation test does pick it up.

DOES DR. FRANK'S ALL NATURAL PAIN RELIEF REALLY WORK? IS IT SAFE TO USE FOR ARTHRITIS PAIN?

Question by shutterbug:
Does Dr. Frank’s all natural pain relief really work? Is it safe to use for arthritis pain?

——————————————

Answer by Meillen S
I’ve never heard of Dr. Frank’s all-natural pain relief. If you are
looking for a natural supplement for arthritis pain — find
something that provides hyaluronic acid.

As we grow older our synovial fluid supply runs low. The main
ingredient needed to restock the synovial fluid is hyaluronic
acid.

You could swallow barrels of supplements, but they'll never
reach your cartilage — because cartilage has no blood
supply. It get's everything from your synovial fluid.

Hope this helps.

Answer by Louise L
it is a shotgun type homeopathic remedy and most likely works.

OR you can get a repertory for homeopathic remedies, you can find these on line.

But you need to ideal match the type of pain with the remedy.

For instance pain gets superior after walking a bit is Rhus tox (notice he has that in his formula) but if you have pain on each step then Bryonia is the superior remedy. Both in 30C works fine, take only again when pain comes back.

The advantages I find using a remedy bottle is that I save on pellets, there is less chance of aggravations, and I can adjust for the sensitivity of the patient.

The way I make a remedy bottle is using a dropper bottle from health food store or pharmacy and fill it halfway up with distilled water. Then add 1/4 vodka. I then add one to three pills (pellets) of my chosen remedy and succuss 30 to 100 times (hit on the heal of my hand) (less often with a being with low vitality and more often with a vigorous one) then the dose is one drop. I hit the heal of my hand a couple of times between each dose (this is to prevent aggravations of giving exactly the same dose each time). IF very sensitive even less succussions are done.

If given for pain for instance you give the next dose when the pain starts to come back.
30C lasts usually 2 hours on average but if the pain level is high repeat much more often (as long as the pain goes down even for 5 minutes. If given for pain for instance you give the next dose when the pain starts to come back.
30C lasts usually 2 hours on average and the 200C about 4 hours (but you dose only when the pain comes back so it is an individual thing so it could be more often or less)

Instructions for pain.
If given for pain for instance you give the next dose when the pain begin to come back. 30C lasts usually 2 hours on average. BUT if trauma is great the body will tell you when the next dose is needed. I do no dose if there is no pain only when the pain begin to come back. A 30C lasts usually 2 hours on average and the 200C about 4 hours (but you dose only when the pain comes back so it is an individual thing so it could be more often or less)

If a 30C is not lasting long enough getting a higher 200C is advisable. IF there is no relief with an acute problem in 15 minutes it is the wrong remedy. Try another one.

This last part is why I advocate the Australian Bush Flower Essences Emergency Essence with Bottlebrush as it deals with all kinds of pains but for burns I would add Mulla-Mulla

I advocate the book Australian Bush Flower Healing by Ian White I has a very good repertory for use of the ABFE

Reviews: Q&A: PAIN RELIEF WHILE GETTING DENTAL WORK?

Q&A: PAIN RELIEF WHILE GETTING DENTAL WORK?

Question by Am:
Discomfort relief even though getting dental function?
I have had quite a few poor experiences with dentists. I had a tooth pulled and it wasnt numb, the dentist told me that he could not give me any more oral sedation and that I couldnt possibly feel it. Properly, I screamed it was horrible. Essentially I have come to the assumption that I will have to have IV sedation for each tiny thing on that side of my mouth. Apparently my nervous technique isnt had been its supposed to be, but only on the proper side of my mouth.
Anyways, is there any choice to IV sedation? And, is there a limit on how many procedures you can have finished all at the moment?
I am thinking, if I pay for IV sedation, I want it all done.
Thanks for critical replies.

——————————————

Answer by Alobar
You can be place below, but there is the ever-present danger of death then. One thing to investigate is locating a dentist that utilizes nitrous oxide. It puts you in a dream-like say exactly where you are kind of outside of your physical expertise–why the hippies like it recreationally–so whilst you are nevertheless feeling discomfort, you do not really care.

Answer by luckistrike
I’ve been by means of that, and my present dentist did do IV sedation since of my negative experiences. I do not know of an substitute. He only did the operate (root canal) that he intented to do at the time.

Answer by Emily E
1-sedation, regardless of whether oral or iv, does not make you numb it sedates you.
two-get a new dentist, ask friends or co-workers for a excellent dentist
3-IV sedation is costly but you can get all your dental function accomplished at 1 time, unless there are points that require to be done in two visits, like a crown.
very good luck! there are dentists out there that are patient and hear what you are saying, you might possibly want a different kind of anesthetic.
