Names, Names, Names

Gosh, I would never have believed it, but to my total surprise, PEOPLE’S NAMES are the most popular of any object, jewelry or otherwise, that I make or have ever made. A close “second place” to people’s names is — can you believe it ?? — DOG & CAT NAMES. I am flabbergasted.

If you’re not at all surprised, you’re one of the very few who actually understands what’s going on here, and you might be in a position to market to the few like yourself who don’t want any part of the local sex, drugs, rock n’ roll scene that permeates planet Earth while humans are temporarily in control.

So how can writing people’s, or a dog’s, a cat’s, a horse’s, a pig’s or a parakeet’s name on metal foil help you locate other potential workers for The Work who, like yourself, don’t related to, or belong to, the local robot population???

It’s not hard to attract off-worlders and higher plane inhabitants to your FREEHAND PSYCHEDELIC LETTERING NAME TAG booth, where you make handcrafted freehand-drawn embossed metal nametags encased in stunning acrylic capsules that comes to the customer in a gift presentation, making it the perfect stocking-stuffer or corporate party favor and, for only ten bucks, it beats most other corporate gifts by a long shot.

Today is Shakti’s Passing Day

Shakti and I used to play for whole afternoons with the garden hose.

It’s time for Shakti to pass. Today sometime between 4:00 pm and 6:00 pm PST, my friend and companion of 15 years will be assisted in his passing. He is 105 years old in doggie years, has had cancer for over 8 of those years and has had a totally wonderful life, especially during the past 3 years when he was with me almost constantly, due to Lime’s Disease, Cancer & other ailments.

Shakti’s last three years were fabulous, to say the least. We were no longer able to play “catch the water” with the garden hose, but we sat together for many hours every day and through most of the night when I work on the computer, but Shakti’s absolute favorite time was the Monday Music Day at 4:00 pm.

Right now, he’s in a world of pain, and is happy to be able to pass with assistance from Doctor Linda. He would not be able to live through the night in any case — there are too many things wrong. Today, we will all help to assist Shakti to pass during the band practice, in the same spot where he likes to nap during the music. He has lost a lot of hearing, but the Didge gets to him, and so do the drums and guitar and bass. He is never happier than when he’s at band practice.

He’ll have hundreds of friends chant and sing and pray for his safe passage into the Ashram. How many dogs or people or anything do you know who have the same sendoff???

The next time you meet Shakti — and you will meet him again — he’ll be a biped, and he’ll be having a pizza in the Virtual Ashram, and we’ll be playing “catch the water” with the garden hose.

See You At The Top!!!
