Steadygain's Groove and Trip Pad

Was shocked to find I arrived...

At the very place I started my adventure …

Only the East hole remained -- and the others were sealed.
 
Steady detected my wilderment ~~ as much as I detected his assurity ~~ and somehow the combination was 'good'.

Then he reached his hand through the East hole and pulled out an orange. Tossing it slightly in the air and catching it with a confident smile he said, Reach in and grab one.

I felt several oranges on the limb and lingered to get the biggest one available then ripped it loose and Steady and I strolled over to sit on the bench.

When did the bench get here ?

It's always been here Blue.

It wasn't here when we first arrived, I said with a determined and confident (if not insistful) tone.

Steady just smiled and nodded his head in a humble and assuring manner It has been here all along ~~ it's simply many things are hidden and can only be known in due time. You will find that almost everything from here on ... will not be as it seems. For only in Oneness can most things be known -- can most aspects fully be discovered ~~ for this is how and why we were created and designed the way we are.

I soaked in his words for only a moment -- for a moment was all it took to absorb the depth and meaning of all he shared. Somehow communication went to levels never known before.

Do you know how to peal an orange ?

No Steady, I've never seen one before. :rolleyes::mad:
 
His question annoyed me ~ and I wondered if all men were that way. But somehow it was hard to have any feelings of animosity when you knew that all you felt was totally acknowledged. Was kind of weird being fully exposed ~ yet I knew him just as well.

He began rolling the orange between his open palms saying The more you roll it the easier it is. That's the whole trick.

His all knowing - confident manner - really got to me sometimes. :rolleyes:
Steady, I'm not an idiot. I know how to peal an orange. After looking at it a moment I began to roll it in my palms.

I could feel the skin breaking loose from underneath when the texture of the hard outer layer began to feel softer and was amazed at the transformation.

A little ball of fur sprang to life and the cuttest little animal sprang up on my lap and greeted me in the most enlightening manner.

I'm Squalebear he said, in the most confident manner ~~ as though this were his home and he was welcoming me.

And I'm Teddybear the animal on Steady's lap said.
 
When my wife sees an aura, the MIAGRaine comes next. So I was totally unprepared for all this Universe had to offer.

As They use to just annoy the hell out of me. Somehow our 'limited capacity' had always made me feel inadequate and helpless.

In this Universe however -- everything is connected to everything else and here it was possible to have

no pain.

So when she said, "I see an aura"

I wasn't prepared ~ had been 'conditioned' for far too long ~ but the shackles of helplessness broke and began to fade...

and in its place grew a Hope like I had never dreamed possible.



But this is a later chapter -- a later time -- somewhere in the future.
 
I'm Squalebear he said, in the most confident manner ~~ as though this were his home and he was welcoming me.

And I'm Teddybear the animal on Steady's lap said.

Squalebear looked more like a groundhog than a bear, with long whiskers that really stood out. He wore a green velvet hat with a large feather sticking out. Much like you would picture the three musketeers. His green overalls matched his hat. He was chunkier and his tail was like a squirrel’s – long and bushy. Standing about a foot tall in brown boots – I had difficulty thinking of him as a bear.

Teddybear looked exactly like him except her features were more feminine and delightful. She has several ribbons in her hair that matched her green dress. She was a ball of energy and her eyes glistened in delight.

I thought both of them were wonderful and chuckled inwardly at the thought of them being called bears.

Steady glanced over What you see here is their true character and their purest identity. In a Universe where we were free to be exactly as we were meant to be ~ this is exactly how bears would appear. It is only because the Universe we have known carries with it dangers and risks ~ that bears were forced to take on a different existence.

Squale and Teddy, hop down and show her what you become if the slightest hint of danger were to occur.

With that they stepped to the edge of the blue circle and transformed into huge ferrocious bears at least 7 feet tall and easily 400 pounds of tense massive muscles and let out the most vicious roar.

It happened so fast and unexpectantly -- that my hair stood up and I was covered with goose bumps -- before they returned to their true state of being.
 
They stood in front of us,

hand n’ hand,

as though nothing had happened...

and I began to wonder if the whole thing was my imagination.

Then Squale spun in a circle and walked with exaggerated hip movements, stopping before my feet, looking right in my eyes with a delightful charm and started signing:

Love me tender,
Love me sweet,
Never let me go.

At this Teddy spun in a graceful circle and sang:
You have made my life complete,
And I love you so.

Both of them swayed their arms and spoke as much with their hands and with their mouths and sang in unison:

Love me tender,
Love me true,
All my dreams fulfilled.
For my darlin I love you,
And I always will.

As they danced together ~ somehow we heard the music playing like a record.

Now Teddy started:
Love me tender,
Love me long,
Take me to your heart.

Squale spun in the same graceful manner ~ filled with delight

For it's there that I belong,
And we’ll never part.


Again they danced and sang:

Love me tender,
Love me dear,
Tell me you are mine.
Ill be yours through all the years,
Till the end of time.
 
When the song ended they bowed ~ as we burst into the most heartfelt and grateful applause.

Steady and I glanced at one another with immense approval over all that had happened and back to our delightful entertainers.

But in this Universe everything can change in the slightest moment and 2 oranges were on the ground before us.

I sat in bewilderment and shock ~ feeling somewhat betrayed ~ as Steady leaned and picked up the oranges. He quickly switched the oranges back and forth from one hand to the other over and over until he finally stopped and asked Do you know which is which ?

Somewhat startled I haven't the slightest clue.

Good ! That should make it easier. He handed me one and quickly pealed the other. As the orange peal landed on the ground it vanished and the area remained spotless.

I was still holding my orange as Steady seperated his into various sections -- then quickly popped one in his mouth and said ... Wow, this is so delicious -- here try some and held a piece for me.

I blinked out everything and allowed myself to fully enjoy it. Oh Steady, that has to be the best orange I've ever tasted.

As soon as his was gone I started pealing mine -- but took off the smallest pieces -- because watching them vanish in the ground was like the coolest thing ever.

It was a wonderful ~~ incredibly satisfying experience.

Then Steady returned to the hole -- reached in and said -- Let's see what's next.
 
Whao !! I may need a little help with this one :embarrest:

I went over as he was pulling a large watermellon out of the hole. At least 3 feet of watermellon came out before I could grab the other end.

Wow Steady, this is pretty heavy !

We were walking towards the bench when Steady stopped and said we need to pull it apart.

Pull it apart :confused: and I held on as he started pulling it away.

Steady STOP !! It will fall and break !

No seriously. We really do need to pull it apart. Just hold on as tight as you can and I'll stretch it out.

I didn't know what to think but held on with all my might. Steady pulled so hard it almost slipped out of my hands -- but the middle stretched and stretched and out fell the Cowboy. I hadn't noticed the halfs we held disappeared until he greeted us with a friendly

Howdy !! I'm CountryBoy :D Pleased to make your aquaintence !
 
? gun my with play to want You

I was stunned ~ having no clue what he just said and glanced over at Steady.

Yeah, it's kind of weird -- but he's a very cool dude. He talks backwards and he'll only repeat himself one time ~~ so you have to listen :p really carefully. It's really kind of trip -- cause he starts off pretty slow -- but will talk faster and you have to watch it :nuts: cause everything he asks is either YES or NO -- and if you answer wrong you could be in trouble.

So be cool Blue ;) Don't forget this is your Universe and nothing too bad can happen.

Mmmmm I wondered if they're just yanking my chain. But decided to play along.

What did you say ?

? gun my with play to want You

It really was a trip -- cause he said it like talking backwards is an everyday occurance -- with the exact same expressions.

Why yes, I'd love to play with your gun. I said reaching out to get the gun he held up.
 
In the moment we both held the gun I felt his power and knew he really was able to talk backwards and that he did it slowly out of politeness to help others understand his questions.

He began to talk faster but, I understood exactly what he said. I answered with an enthusiastic “Yes”.

Some of our powers had blended…
 
Steady was in his element reaching in and out of the hole.

CountryBoy was helping Steady and I smiled as I hear him asking all arrivals...

“?fruit apart pull to how know you Do”
 
I found him in the South bench.

The one where we sat together looking south into the deepest Blue…where the leaves had put me in a state of tranquility.

He looked at me and said “Blue Wild Angel”.

I didn’t know what to make of it but, he looked at peace.

On our last trip Jimis’ sequencing had been pure perfection. He fused jazz and blues and his fingerwork had been his most dazzling ever.

He deserved a rest.
 
I was just about to go when I felt Jimi put something within my grasp.

I had to do a little research before finding out what it meant ~

Flower on the Down.
