nebris~Y'all will see I've re-posted nearly all of the parts of The Explanation out of Blogpot and into Live Journal and Dreamwidth. Haven't done Part Eight: Summation because it's a fucking mess at the moment nor either 'Addendum' because I need to transfer graphics with them and I'm too tired to fuck with that right now.
I found this quote to myself from about two years ago, “Writing a Holy Book is no fucking joke and some of the damned things take several authors and two or three centuries to finish, so chill the fuck out, dude!” I'd say that is a good thing to keep in mind. It was been roughly six years now that I've been working on the thing. We've endured a lot of shit in that time.
Speaking of time...”This day is designated as The Temple's birthday because it was on this day eleven years ago that the words The Temple of The Pentavalent were first written down and that seem an appropriate enough landmark as such was an 'invocation' in my books.
The Context: I was residing in a sober living house in West LA marking time while waiting for my Section Eight Housing to come through. I was a year into being homeless and coming up on ten years of Sobriety, which made living with newcomers a bit of a nightmare. At any given moment, I had ten times more Sober Time than every other resident combined. And I confess I've never had much patience with Active User Drama, even back when I myself was using.
The Specificity: Back in March of that year, while I was still in the Santa Monica Shelter, I'd had a long phone call with my dear Kat. I'd just had the final confrontation with Amy, the very last Candidate for being The One I've been involved with, and was bitching and moaning about her fecklessness, although that was not among the words I used to describe her at the time.
Kat said, more or less, "She doesn't deserve you...you should really have twenty women." She called that a 'house of twenty' or H20. We laughed about that..and it got filed away.
I cannot remember exactly what brought that up those few months later. Probably something to do with one of the various phone sex relationships I was having with gals I'd met on-line. There were three during this period, all very intense early twentysomething 'sub gals', each of which I remember quite clearly. [I should expound upon them one day, not here or now]”
That chuck of text is three years old, but it's still completely valid. I actually am in rather better shape than I was when I wrote it. That was a day short of two months after we'd had to abandon our old house on Sonja Drive and we were still pretty fried by that move and the whole series of events that led up to it.
*seven hours pass*
I suppose I should finish this up and post it while it is still August 30th.
While I work on a big monitor, I note that many of you do your Internet from an iPad or iPhone, so I'm taking the parts of The Explanation I've posted so far and making 'e-mail ready' messages that each contain the entire text of each part to make it easier to read on those devices. If you're interested, send me your e-mail addy in a PM on whatever platform you're reading this and I'll send them to you in numbered, ordered sequence.
...and so it is.
Edit: Okay, I posted Addendum A [Calendar for A New Matriarchy] above and Addendum B [The Temple's Flag] too, but only here, not on LJ because the flag would get lost against the black background.
