Spiral Out

Maynard James Keenan tells us
to ride the spiral while sipping
a glass of Caduceus, and he
suggested we ride it outward,
like a petroglyph, but the
members of the tribe inverted
the spiral inward because the
forces of termination nearly
wiped them out, so the
scout-warriors looked both ways
and instructed laterally to
keep the collective memory
alive like the giver that can
see color in a polarized plane
like the red in Maynard James's
fluted vessel, so it remains
today as the tribal givers
count the winters, tell the
stories and relate them to the
you of tomorrow's nation.

As Maynard James Keenan
said a decade ago, spiral out,
keep going, spiral out!

Sometimes, just sometimes,
the spiral of life can be
so golden.

. i'm going to have to check out tool at some point ... more importantly ... these words are just beautiful ... by the time one reaches ... "sometimes, just sometimes" ... one is overwhelmed by the earnestness in these words ... and then that helping of hope ... is so real ... i feel i should believe much more in the sheer probability of life being golden ...

Lovely. Love that song too, Tool are amazing. And your words are great as always, hopeful at the end. I'll come back later and try to understand this differently

I don't why but i just had to chuckle at the ending. This is quite intriguing.
