Your intrepid 'Hero Travel Guy', below, doing the preparatory curation for this piece inside Penn Station-NYC's Moynihan Hall Waiting Area

had just completed, unofficially part-4 of what would be a VERY LONG five part round trip from Newport News to Syracuse and back-with a detour to the AMTRAK-Norfolk station in the we-early hours of Monday morning, 0045-hours.It was much, 
much more than the nearly 24 hours Google Map shows. With enroute, unexpected maintenance delays the trip was from Thursday 530am to 1030pm-17 hours, then Sunday from 7am to Monday morning 0130am-18 hours! If not for the generally comfortable seating and the occasional good seat mates, plus my own online interactions, the 35 hours WAS long but-in the moment-sufferable.

Unfortunately, maybe fatefully, the pictorial part of my journey began after I arrived in Syracuse, aka from here-on as 'Sorrycuse'-for the nature of too many of its residents (another ranting blog, for those curious). Though I came close to the campus from my visit to my parents' grave at the campus-adjacent Oakwood Cemetery.
From the folks grave site I headed to one of my classic and favorite haunts of 
my past residences in Sorrycuse, Thornden Park Hill Tower. From there I got this panorama of shots showing the hills surrounding Sorrycuse on 

the East
 
-South


and the  -West
heading to the rolling plains that led to Lake Ontario in the  North.
The next day at 7am I began the travel back to Norfolk-Newport News via NYC's Penn Station. I made sure to SITuate myself on the side of the train whose window view would give me a view of the Mohawk


 and then 
the Hudson Rivers
   


REACHING NYC and realizing how the train was parked under Madison Square Garden, where likely Grand Central once was where I found myself on 8th Ave between MSG on one side of the street and Penn Station-Moynihan Hall on the other side of 8th Ave and 31st Street.
  




This brings you back to me

Unconscious projections of our soul

What we  project in public when we ‘dress up’ is a way to reflect to others our own aspirations for ourselves. There are conscious intents and there are these  provide symbols that communicate a persona beyond the person. Or such things of a present socio-pathos and derivations of culture. Then the more provocatively aggressive suggest either an assertion of actual potential or an overreach of ego. Which brings me to the point of being one who either chooses the moment or the passive subject that is chosen by the moment. If You choose the moment, then you’re emotionally and mentally prepared for what the moment will  bring forth. There are others who exist in a world of entitlement of presumption.  What they temporally presume as their prerogative  of emotional license of justifications for how we humans are; are  the illusions of their species-centric behavior that allows and enables them to seek projections of fantasy that don’t belong in the material wor...

Visceral synergy and resonance

Having harmony would be good, also. but the former two are the basics. This synergy and resonance of attitude. We don't have to be involved in the minutiae of the others weeds. We just have a sense of the beneficence of their efforts. Even if just enabling, cheerleaders of morale support we provide a mental bond that radiates out to effect others proximal to our activity. I'm talking about a chain reaction of sympathy and empathy to the form of our intensity that creates the response of affinity to it. Like a root system, this network of consciousness grows in ways unforeseen by we originators. Yet, the growth becomes the basis of new conceptions of being and thought that can evolve for a better legacy, as well as some interesting 'occult' phenomena in our present. To the extent that we consciously seek to focus our intensity, we are conjuring, as a medium catalyst things equivalent to the admonishments about the OUIJA board. Unlike most fears of such, I see it as, at t...

Art Bell's 'Quickening' coming to past

 Art Bell's 'Quickening' Intro-Preface on this theme     It came to me that as human population became and is becoming more dense per capita, per square mile the more by both technical and organic means we're in a network of ever-increasing instantaneousness. What in the less-connected days that was speculation, rumor, and hear-say is now captured, archived, and memorialized for us to tangibly and empirically know about than before. It's not the end-days as millennialists or the proverbial 'street corner prophet' would testify, but it is getting to the point of an artificial technical (and an insightful, back-engineered organic) revolution of consciousness we're headed for soon, if not in this or the next scores of years of time. What we now see through the mass and personal media devices, we'll know in a simultaneous, visceral manner per our capabilities. To think that we could not only know, but feel an experience as remote as across the globe or, ...
