REMAINING VIGOR
yup that seems to be what it's about.
I have observed that vigor in potted trees will distribute itself from branch to tip in a different fashion season to season- a will of their own- a character unique.
This investment in growth direction is part of a predetermined process and pattern in place before the emergent phenomenon -is the spirit or idea of future Life.
Individual growth pathways are limited by circumstance and challenged by existence- the cards you are dealt are yours to play as you wish.
Group behavior is a weird forecast and a risky investment in changing times- all institutions are shaky
The Bogus and ridiculous have never been so obvious
OUR VIGOR REMAINS
The bit above a clipped response to an old friend from the scene in the city crowned with my painting of Dian Cecht the elder Physician of the Tuatha De Dannan -
whos' first son Cian assisted by Mannanan Mac Lir travel to the isolated island hide away fortress of Balor the elder Fomorian - where he hid his daughter Ethne at the top of the tower's sunroom.
Guarded by mist attended by maidens impregnated by De Dannan outside of their claimed territory.
An unexpected illegitimate origin story for the many skilled god Lugh!
Balor/Fomorian grandfather = Lugh = Dian Cecht/ De Dannan grand father
The questions of truth and legitimacy of conduct are parallel in Ernmas the widowed Fir Bolg queen
whos' daughter Eriu is impregnated on the shore by a Fomorian prince with a kingdom elsewhere.
The child of accelerated growth and vigor was none other than Bress the beautiful who is wed to Brighid daughter of the Daghda to take over as unblemished and perfect Chief of the Tuatha De Dannan from Nuadu the original leader wounded in the first war with the Fir Bolg.
The need for a replacement made obvious by the battlefield prosthetic arm crafted by Dian Cecht.
Bress takes over the rule of the De Dannan not showing proper respect for his father-in-law and his wife's people during his reign,
Their only child, a son Ruadon is killed during the war between the Fomorian and the De Dannan when trying to use the magical weapon of the De Dannan against its maker the smith Gobhanon of the trio of artists producing the armaments for the De Dannan war effort.
Dian Cecht acted as the chief of the trio of menders in the war between Fomorian and De Dannan his son Miach and daughter Airmed joining him at a specially prepared spring-well-pool of regenerative healing within the territory of the De Dannan.
There Dian Cecht repeatedly strikes and eventually kills his son Miach, as the story is told -
although he reappears later to aid in the trio of menders in the final battle where Lugh kills Balor and Bress surrenders claim to territory and agricultural secrets to the De Dannon.
Thats my memory of things
based on the translations I read
the spelling is maybe all wrong
I think it's not my memory alone
somehow similar to this blog tittle
taken from an original Television series episode fifty-two 2nd season.
Captain Kirk takes a party from his Starship Enterprise to a planet involved in a long destructive domestic conflict between the Yangs and the Khoms to witness the sacred ritual of the Yangs with a tattered remnant of a flag of the United States of America!
Captain Kirk recognizes the holy words of the preamble of the constitution and blows their minds with his insights of their imperfect memory-spiritual revelation-social development...The Prime Directive???
Violated by a fellow Starfleet captain using his weaponry to win the war for the Yangs
I did not remember that a virus and a biosphere immunity were involved in the story written by the show's creator Gene Roddenberry.
Doctor McCoy played a role - cross kingdom pollination
yet there is this poetomythic memory or association
based on the episode I have watched
originally picked up by adjusting an antenna on my mom's roof to get channel 50 out of Detroit- where Star Trek was in syndication.
Before the remakes. before cable TV, before the internet, before I had read translations of Irish Myth.
I felt like the naive savage with torn banner and garbled words - especially when first learning and performing ADF druid ritual with other people in front of all our collected kindred spirits.
Thats my memory of things
comforting and traumatic
he who swiftly travels
A very unique casts of individuals
VERY SPECIFIC PLACES
struggles for turf
family affairs
Remaining Vigor
