If a picture holds a thousand words, you have just spun through ten thousand words with very few written on this page, just images.
For the big sale, most of these things will be available for new homes. What did you see that you might want? What did you see you had no clue what it was?
Thinking of things to do while the rain is pouring down on Memorial Day weekend, not that it is clear it will be raining through it all? How about visiting the biggest inventory sale for incredible architectural treasures, lumber, and parts to build small houses, or big mansions, and have a home to be proud of when finished.
For those who were not aware of Tiny Texas Houses and Discovery Architectural Antiques, both started by Brad W. Kittel in the 1990s, and in 2007, when Tiny Texas Houses was formed with the massive inventories from the largest architectural warehouses in Texas.
All of the warehouses have been mothballed for ten years now. However, many of them will be emptied out now as I am retiring from this business, still with hopes someone else will buy into it and continue onward with my ethos of All-American materials, no plastic, vinyl, or chemicals to inhale like new houses all have. This is my dream; I hoped to offer a generation, but I have run out of time and now must shut it all down if the heirs to this do not show up soon. When my son passed on to the next life early, he left me with no heirs. To that end, I pray that God provides the people to finish what I started, but if it is not His will, it will not happen. So it goes.
I created this acres-wide pond that was thirty feet deep in my early 60s, after losing my son. I just did as I was directed by a higher authority to prove I believed the prophecy that this is what I would see if I dug deep, focused, and had faith. Miracles happen all the time, but few recognize them.
Check out the posts with pictures, and if you wish, I will craft a plan for the parts you pick so as to create an incredible space for your getaway She-shack or Man-cave.
Why not grow a dream into a tiny house, a place to write, draw, paint, or just meditate?
TINY TEXAS HOUSES NEWSLETTERShare
2008 was a transformative time for me… the creation of Tiny Texas Houses and the beginning of a path that would eventually lead to creating Salvage, Texas, from my ethos based on the best of our past resources being saved, used once more to create the best housing in America.
Tiny was my best way to show in the smallest package, the value of the Jewelry Box Home that could be portable and habitable, taxable in an advantageous way that would allow you to hand it off like an heirloom to your children or grandchildren, much as many of the houses had gone through before we finally salvaged them after 150 years of life.
Homestead can become homesteads again for the masses who do not want a trailer to live in made of materials that doghouse should not be made out of, let alone human housing for sake of all the toxins in the materials used as well as the fact that they are new, adding to the trash, transport, and forced to use due to code written by the manufacturers and required by law. The process has made the builders and buyers of homes victims of a system that is intended to keep you buying materials for maintenance, replacement every 7-10 years, and other traps that modern housing has built into it. While the houses are going up in cost, the value is not as they are limited life disposable homes for the most part.
Sad to see the masses fall for trailers on Wheels (RVs) passed off as houses at high costs for trailers with tires that will rot with the houses sitting on them, but faster than the time it takes to pay off the loans. I wonder at the success of the marketing by big media controlled by advertisers, and others that convince so many that they can live in toxic boxes without enough clean air being exchanged to stay healthy, yet no mention of that anywhere in the industry.
Still, the intention was to show that tiny organic toxin / import-free housing is possible with salvage, American labor, very little environmental damage, and energy cost to build. Paramount was to demonstrate that you can do it locally if you all get together and support Pure Salvage Outposts to teach, build, gather the materials donated by locals, and the wisdom of the craftsman retiring who could teach the few kids who do want to know how to build. Please help where it is needed, locally.
More could be building these houses all over the USA, and trust me, now, many want them. I never understood when I started and thought that many would copy, why no one really took the effort to do it right… Copy my research and methods, please… they were meant to show everyone how to do it, not to do one for everyone who wanted one cheaper than anyone who did not love doing it could build them for.
The profit-driven alternatives, faster, cheaper, toxins-be-damned attitude that took over the industry of tiny housing is disgusting for its lack of attention to the financial and human health of buyers over the decade after purchase.
Can you see the changes in the look from one owner to another? It was in Bastrop on the Colorado River and then moved to West Point, Texas, on a 23-acre setting. That is the beauty of a portable house, not the ugly trailer and narrow size that is not good for decorating or feeling like this makes you feel.
Some things are very hard to duplicate todayโฆ especially great stained glass.
So many traps and so few speaking out as the fan club for Tiny Houses on Wheels was touted by all the major networks and pushed into the realm of a monstrous following. Next in this cycle of sale to grave come the consequences, and they have been many but as yet, not getting a lot of attention: health, transport, parking, maintaining tires, etc., will all need to be factored into the big picture before this story can be fully told. Will anyone want to tell it? Not if they were part of making it all happen. They will be gone.
Some know, have paid the price of health, wealth, and the frustration of not being able to find a place to put the giant expensive homes. Time will tell the story, but I always like to put the house on piers and use the trailers that cost megabucks to do other things until needed to move again. Oh wellโฆ one can show the path, offer it to all the sheep that pass as they are led to the cliffs by the shepherds who claim to be leading them, but in fact only to their death.
Sheep do not ask where they are being led to, shearing or slaughter. They simply follow the tail in front of them, ever questioning and savoring being part of the crowd that shares all their ailments and pains in common. None will know there was a better path unless they get near the fringe of the flock and see the trees, forests, and waters beyond. Instead, they are too busy looking at the ground for the grass or the butt of another sheep to know where to go next. Pity.

How many of us find our cross to bear and choose to carry it, regardless of the consequences, the attacks, the ugliness of the society that it must be carried by to get to the destination, the point at which the world will pay attention, change direction, and create a better place for those who follow us?
I gathered the materials, created a path, and a way to create housing for the many in need. Will the people do the right thing and create the solutions using no more than human energy and imagination? I wonder as I set about disbursing the massive inventory it will take to launch a perspective in housing, helping build your home to offset the cost, to help others create a home for life, too.

What are you doing to make the world a better place for others, not just the ones you know and love, but the masses that also need to be assisted, if Wii, the many that can see the need, and do the work to make the world a better place?
June will be the next round of liquidation sales, thinning down from 300 housesโ worth of materials to a few dozen to maybe build before the end of the year, if people want to learn how in seminars through the summer and fall, after which there may not be any Tiny Texas Houses anymore if there are not some others who come to carry on. Are you one of the builders of the future who knows how to build houses that will last for a century? Healthy, all-American parts, labor, and a lifetime of housing our children, and theirs.
What do you have planned for 2026? Why not create homes, solutions, and a future for others that will be appreciated until those who live there pass on? This gift will give their home decades for their loved ones, once they are gone. Such is the life of a quality home, instead of the disposable form that homes come in now. You will make a difference in a life that will pay forward for generations. Are you willing to do what it takes to help make the world a better place? Will you carry a cross and sacrifice for the benefit of thousands?
Incredible prices for houses, big and small, but you can still get what you need at incredibly low prices at the upcoming sale. True, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, with designs so easy to use and see results with the same windows, doors, and parts that were of superb quality back in the day of Quality in American products.
One need not use the older designs, but the windows and doors will work fine for any sort of modern art home you could build; you can use these parts to make it last a lifetime for you, too.
Look at the doors and windows, at the trim, and even more, the quality of the hardware, and the other things you see are still on houses used today. It’s been over a hundred years since they were shipped and built by men and women, all communities that worked together to become towns with homes for one and all.
I will be assembling a few packages of windows and doors that will allow people to recreate the houses shown in the pictures above. This is the chance for many to benefit and grow their dreams into real houses. I hope you will join us for one of the weekends and have a chance to win one of the door-and-window packages that will be a door prize for participants in the biggest Salvage & Architectural Antiques liquidation sales ever.
Imagine how easy it was to get a loan for a package then.
If you fill one out and want a loan for a year, up to five years on a package of materials, not as big as these were, but good to help you get your home built for sure, let me know by sending it to us at Darbypsl@gmail.com as we may offer a few loan packages if good people who can do that apply.
For the discounts and special notices, consider becoming a member and also subscribing to Substack. Thanks for sharing, too.
I have not found a way to post a video on this website, but I can surely link to it on YouTube, also known as Tiny Texas Houses.
Videos about the Liquidation Sales, as well as some opportunities for tours, before big sale buys, and a chance to open a Pure Salvage Outpost with some of the vast resources that will be parted out over the next few months.

Please consider sharing and viewing if you have any interest in building a home from All-American parts and pieces, such as windows, doors, and trim, from a time when our ancestors had great virgin resources that created the best of homes. Sustainable living means using the best of our past, still good for a hundred more years of life as a home, rather than buying new stuff that will not last a decade.
Buy a home for life instead of giving your life for a home that dissolves and becomes a maintenance nightmare. Buyers should always beware of modern construction and learn before they burn away their health. That is not a path that you can return from easily once done. Your home is your castle, not a coffin if you buy the right one.
Hope to see you get the parts and pieces to create a community of tiny and small houses that work together to create a homestead instead of a McMansion or two, and pave the rest or put grass on the rest of the land.
Blessings to your Memorial Day celebrations, perhaps aggregations of the materials that respect the work of the ancestors who supported the boys in the war by working in the places these parts were being built between and during the World Wars for the Veterans Home loans of the times. Yes, time repeats with an amazing accuracy that can not be ignored. Never forget or throw away the best parts of our past that will take us to a better future.

Yes, this marks the end of an era, a legend, a myth, someday when the internet erases it from memory if they get to own the Wayback Machine. Come to the sale and carry on the ethos of building sustainably with salvaged treasures. These will never be built again.
No imports. No plastic. NO vinyl. All American-made by our ancestors in an age of many resources and lumber barons all around, with enslaved conscripted laborers who could not earn a living wage.
Now is a chance to honor and respect their efforts to create a source of what it takes to build import-free homes that last for centuries, not just decades. Come, see, and buy at incredibly low prices compared to big-box stores, but get much more.
Making Memories for someone you love. That will be when people can carry away the parts they need to build tiny, small, or medium-sized homes, just like you would once see coming on the trains. These parts were for kit houses from Sears and Roebuck, delivered in pre-cut packages for assembly.
Nothing imported, no trees cut, no glass made to create a house. This is what I offered and taught many who still use the salvage all around to form houses they can use. Why not come with family to load the windows and the doors? Perhaps some trim, and even floors, to build in an hour or two of loading stuff into trailers to take with you?
THIS WILL BE THE BIGGEST SALE THAT ANYONE WILL EVER DO, WHERE YOU CAN BUY ALL AMERICAN-MADE AND KNOW IT WILL LAST AS LONG AS YOU.
For appointments or more information, email Bwk@tinytexashouses.com or Darbypsl@gmail.com.
May 9th-10th for preview and windows and doors by the hundreds, plus sets with enough to build more than 60 houses if you choose to use salvage. Come prepared to work with gloves and know there will be dust about. Prepare to see what few ever do and know it will soon all be gone, so now is the time to choose.
What are you seeking to build a home, two bedrooms, like the thirties or the later years, shown in the catalogs of the times that were known for the 100,000 houses that they sent nearly all around. If you had a railroad near your town, I would bet these models can be found, and if you want to remodel one and put back in the original windows and doors, come for more. We got it.
Entire sets for a house are stacked and have not moved or been ransacked. They are dry and could be glazed and painted to last for a lifetime without plastics drying out and breaking. This is what has lasted for centuries: youโll see if you take care of them, and you find they will take care of you.
You will even find some new old stock in the windows and the trim. There are lots of things you will not find, I know, much without paint and ready to roll. Those who come first see the most and get the chance to skim the cream, perhaps a toast to the early bird who gets the worm, but please, then share and boast. It will be the best buys of your life and perhaps what you need at last. For a few thousand dollars, you might find all you need to put between the studs to create the coolest house that anyone has seen. Why not?
Some ask why I am finally cutting the rope to this anchor, and I can only say that what I found at 70, #Youthing meant I had to stay away from stress like the 80-hour weeks it took to stash all of this stuff. Decades pass, and then Wii learn to value what Wii have, our body, Spirit, mind, all healthy has become my goal, you see. I found something I never knew, and thus I want to give you a path to follow if you wish to see the future that so many will see once they change their views. I hope this will help others get the parts they need to build healthy homes and a tight-knit community that comes from people caring about their unity.
Our Chi, Prana, Energy of Spirit that flows through us is more important than what some people sell it for, life-force indebted and thus bound by the rules of the Matrix. I choose to check out of that game of merchants and taxes, employees, and rules.
Wii are One in motion, and I want to help bring the inspiration and the notion that you can build a house for nearly free if the local Salvage Outpost provides the help that comes for free. I have stashed and saved these parts for a day when some of Darby’s dreams come into play.
Please share the story, just a fantasy of what could happen if Wii all agree to help. Pure Salvage Outposts as local co-ops, I think, will be the path to new equality in the way Wii live most in homes these days. Yes, a unique set of words, but the meaning goes beyond the normal to create solutions all around.
As a lifelong pacifist, the child of a patriot who drenched villages in napalm during the Vietnam War, I protest. As a veteran of an era where Americans killed 2,000 of their enemy for every American lost, over 45,000 of our sons died, but millions of their children, parents, grandparents, and all the innocent lives were starved and killed.
My father dropped Agent Orange to destroy the farm fields and devastate the economy of the North Vietnamese. It is so sad to understand what was done by Americans in that war. Now, Wii, the humans that can see around the world, must stand up to get a change of venue in our government as soon as possible, like this week. NOT the Tomorrow that never comes.
WILL THIS LEAD TO A REBELLION OF BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT?
Support Tucker Carlson, listen to his words, and understand that he dedicates his life to showing, by acts, to lead. The system keeps a good man out; no one can survive if they threaten the system, but he has… God bless his goals and being the lens to bring light to the Truths at last, with the internet to spread the word around the world so fast it can bring change. This is the time of Truth if Wii, all the people who see join as One force, not one person alone, but the masses giving the support and protecting those who do speak out, expose the evil in our world. Candice, Snowden, and the most famous whistleblower hero, Julian Assange, will be the historical figures whose voices and actions changed the world by exposing what the masses come to know and see.
Bakhtinian Dialogism on Steroids, Webbling the words into the fabric of global consciousness through a frequency that weaves truth over lies and lights up the flaws that lead to enlightenment. Thusly, the Christus is ignited and the demons so exposed, will refuse to touch the cross or the Bible as they realize and know how strong Wii are. Whistleblowing warriors by the droves are rising up to expose the places and the deeds where the evil deeds were wrought. Soon, there will be nowhere on the Earth where they may hide, and the evil ones who want war are in a race to kill and divide. Rise up and join together, for the future will be grim if Wii do not stop the madness that can be caused by an evil few.
What a fantasy it seems, surreality for sure, but this is not a movie on the big screen, as it will affect you and Mii if the masses don’t see the truths soon.
Tribunals must come soon, it’s true, but for whom and by whom is due to be decided, I still fear, AI will run it, and it could be you or Mii. Keep on fighting to expose the truth and protect the elderly, the truth for our youth, so they don’t get sent to war to be the profits for these entities exposed. Pfizer, Moderna, Fauci, and Gates evade global scrutiny and the courts that are finally in a rage.
The truth will come out, and the consequences will as well, but the sad thing is the masses will be the ones in a living hell. Will they escape, the creators of this plan to wipe out all who would fight them in their goal to rule the world, and choose to use their power now? Who controls the leaders rules the Armies and the wars. So who controls if the people’s vote won’t? I wonder what that answer will reveal?
After 70 years on the planet, having seen the world across several continents, I have found that, for the most part, people don’t want war or such evil around. How do Wii stop it, resist, and bring it down? I ponder, and I wonder in a fantasy I’ve found may hold some truths.
What is the Matrix, and who controls what reality turns out to be after this transformation? Wii are being hit by the most incredible energy, empowering those who came to be the warriors who are called to make this right. Rise and be heard> be real> authentic at any price, not just nice. Wake up and help others do the same so that the resistance is in all the lands that it must be to stop this madness in the world.
The correct answer is Yes, you are ready, able, and awaiting the calling that will come soon. The elders have endured and spent a life of earnest work to learn the secrets they will share with the others who awaken and care about the future of our race and the others Wii share it with. Are you one of the elders, or the army of awakened Beings who see the game being played on the world’s populations by a few who are doomed to lose a war they started but cannot finish?
It is the war for the hearts and minds of those awake enough to see what is going on in the bigger picture, the usurping of our freedoms and rights by a few who have no God-given right to be the leaders of the world, nor the right given by the people of the planet. The force used to kill will be the force that takes down the evil leaders in charge who sacrifice the populace for profits and their megalomaniac goals of global dominance at the expense of innocent people, nature, and our future as a peaceful planet.
What will you do to preserve the peace and quiet in your part of the world and to assist those who are weak, children, elders, and others who need help? The government is abandoning the people to focus on the product of their work and lives, taken out in taxes, and then used to kill people on the other side of the world without discretion, crimes against humanity and the world of natural beings, all dying over power struggles that are caused by the motivation to be rich and control the people of the world. This is wrong.
How do the people stop the leaders who have gone off the deep end, perhaps lost their sanity, and certainly their empathy for the millions of people whose lives they destroy and laugh about as if it is a badge of honor to kill women, children, and elders indiscriminately, punishing them for the actions of their leaders? Is that justified? It will only lead to those that our leaders attack coming to our country to attack us back, in the heartland, as our country has done to them. This can not lead to a positive future, but how are Wii, the people of the world, united against war, supposed to stop the madness of the leaders who have no concern about the people they kill, based on the trend to kill more daily than less?
Absurd as it seems, the fantasy of world peace is one that most of the people of the world want to see come out of the wars, yet they simply lead to more wars when the weapons are readied. The elite that get rich making the weapons and destroying countries so as to take their gold and control their people must themselves be eliminated, not just cordoned off from the world but taken from this plane of existence and put into the “Phantom Zone” as was done in the Superman comic books most Americans read in their youth. Wii, all the people of the world need a Superman, and that is supposed to be the Christ Consciousness that is rising up in the millions who are resisting the call for greater wars and killing without discretion.
Wii, the millions that do see what is coming, the dropping of their nuclear bombs in order to show how powerful they are, and to destroy all resistance to them taking over the entire world economy. If they succeed, no average person will ever get the chance to escape the new caste system of rich and poor, a few in between. How do Wii, the people of the world, who see the potential directly ahead of us, if Wii don’t stop the leaders who are “Brain-trained” to kill, want insane wealth, and are preventing the masses from joining together to stop the madness of our world leaders at war?
While I do not have the answers, I do have a fantasy story to share about the solutions that could be real if Wii, the people of our world who see the truths and care about the rest of the Beings Wii share the planet with. Are you one of the heroes awaiting the call to come to the aid of your fellow beings on the planet who are calling out in pain, agony, watching their children die, parents cry, and no end in sight for those who sit below the panes that drop the bombs or under where the missiles hit? Stop the madness and the pain by speaking up and speaking out against the shameful acts done in our name as Americans, the acts we will disdain.
Use your voice to speak out against the crimes against humanity being committed by our government, regardless of the political party; the leaders are profiting from stock investments in the War Machine, enriching themselves from the deaths they are watching without stopping it. Their motivation is money, apparently, not peace on Earth. No one can manifest peace out of killing millions of people, for the revenge for that act will carry into the generations born into the aftermath, children born into a Hell created by politicians getting rich off the deaths caused by their investments and decisions. How does the cycle stop?
It is up to us, the Wubbers of the world, the people who believe in a World Union of Beings that are powerful in number, unstoppable when enraged by the evil leaders that are taking over the world under the auspices of bettering it, rather than admitting to the destruction they cause solely for their profit and power. Is it possible for the world of people to unite under a banner of peace and prosperity, of respect for the ecosystems and other living beings on the planet who do not speak human but do communicate in ways Wii can literally understand now, with the help of AI, communication with the many creatures of the world will be possible soon. When that comes, will you be one of the Beings on the planet who fight for their rights, too? Will the ability to communicate with all the other Beings on the planet awaken the world to the fact that religion does not give humans the right to kill all other creatures and eat them without considering the consequences to other populations of sentient Beings?
Who is watching and what do they see? A world led by killers who do not want us to be free to question or to stop them, the kings that rule the world under guises and the titles that they use to keep them free from the consequences of their acts that affect both you and Mii. I choose to speak out against the wars, the power grabs, the killing of innocents without a cause except to profit, gain power, and destroy those who resist because some can employ mercenaries to do the work, to kill, to die… for money.
Savor the Dayz of transformation, consolidation of power, and perhaps, a global revolt against the actions that can be seen around the world through the internet. Can it be the tool that unites the world with memes, viral campaigns, and the hope of peace, love, and a global community, a dream that is still attainable? If not, the consequences are dire, much like the movies so many have watched and loved, such as Star Wars, Star Trek, and sci-fi movies that have predicted what is coming over the last couple of decades. Guess what, destiny is written before it manifests, and you are one of the people reading this now who is fated to be part of the transformation of our planet coming fast and unstoppable. What will the future bring for you and your loved ones?
Please join Mii in celebrating our strength and gratitude for the chance to make a difference as the world takes a turn. Be the ones who speak up now to right the ship before it goes down. Join in the call for peace and much more, the promise to spend money to do good instead of war. Stop the madness, end the wars, and spend the money to do more for the planet’s good, not its demise. What leaders deem this to be wise, to kill off people they despise? Please share your views with others to start the process of stopping the rule of those who feel there are no laws or morals they need to follow. Some seem to feel they have no rules that keep them from being the fools that kill and ruin what was fine because of greed and power in the hands of those who dine on human flesh.
Time for tribunals around the world to be made public so Wii all can see the end of evil, as it should be after the reign of this evil entity that runs the world. Time to change and make things right, though it will take a mighty fight, the end is worth it for the delight of finally being free. Join Mii so that Wii can all believe in a fairy-tale world of WUB and Wibblry that surprises all the evil demons who will live to see it come of age. The truth will do the job, to grow and guide the rage of the people who engage. Then solutions to the problems that so few are causing will come to pass. What will the future bring unless Wii stand up and finally do what must be done? Take the leaders out of power and find good replacements so that Wii can change the world into the best one it can be.
How does one distribute the treasures Wii behold that are greater than the gold and silver that so many love? Who inherits wisdom, if it could be held, that knows what then to do with it if one has no wit or care? Our vessels hold such miracles as words can not define without others thinking Wii are crazy for the beliefs Wii carry on. From the Light within that God gives to us kids so as to play on Earth is what Wii have to offer,, as the Mii you see or hear. The “I” you may think you see is seldom what’s inside of me, the love, the passions, and the dreams.
This is what a child can bring to Mii, the person that I was before I could see what a lifetime could be, but when lost, how to reset my “I” to see, it was not all the money, the things that I could find, the reputation worldwide that could come with success, some find. None of that means anything if you have no love and no one to give the love you feel and share with all the other creatures that hear our calls. Wii the Beings that few can see hidden in the likes of Mii. The body and the Light within form the Wii that our God did send. Mii, alone, had to exist and feel the pain, the loss from this. The Matrix seems so real; some say it is.
Long before he was born, I started writing and drawing with a passion and a cause. After he was born, he became my cause to succeed and build a legacy for him one day. Hard to believe that is actually how I went astray from my dream of becoming a writer one day. It had to happen for Mii to see how to transform from what I had become. Materialism based on making the millions it would take to publish and market what I created fell to the wayside as the focus on working 80-100 hours a week to succeed took hold for 25 years.
After Adam put my poem to song, then went on to the higher planes where out of view for now, I created this for my domicile at nights. A portable building to sleep in and find a path to the past and the future where I’d find my dreams. For twelve years I slept here, with cats and through the night, the choruses of frogs and crickets singing out of sight.
For now its trapped in a legal blackhole, the future of it in suspense as this part of my life goes hence for my 70s, its true, this had to happen for Mii to leave but I hate what some men will do. That is an unfinished chapter in my life… Temple Tantra is a sweet home that i doubt anyone will match.
My measure of success became my material wealth on the bottom line of financial statements, and houses I had brought back from condemned to first time homebuyer dreamhomes. Watching the streets come back to life with pride amongst the owners on the porch instead of fear was a rewarding thing in many ways, but I missed seeing Adam growing up due to my endless, vacationless years of obsessive work. I made the millions on paper but suddenly realized, I missed being a dad.
I thank my God for every day, more now than in the past for I seem to see so much that I could not when I was cast in the patterns of distraction that kept my “I” from marrying up, the masculine and feminine, the fires from within, the left brain and the right brain, that leads to the Spiritual Being that Wii are. That is what has kept me whole from childhood till now is the feeling this was meant to be or I would have been long dead by now, I vow.
I missed vacations, baseball games, football, and the time one spends with their child as a father should because I was selling houses and doing well. Or so it seemed. Is focusing on making money the most important thing in life when you have the treasure of your children who need your time and love so much? I saw him in the mornings and in the evenings when I came home to eat dinner before going back to work. The years flew by before I knew, and he was 11 before I knew how much I lost.
My dad was a soldier who went to Vietnam and survived unlike tens of thousands of others my age. When I joined it was so much the same, no reason or someone to blame for what came after President Kennedy said We Are Pulling out of Vietnam. I hate to see us go into war again, in far away lands that few Americans will ever visit or know exists otherwise.
So many things that happen when you stop the war machine that JFK spoke of in those days, and I as a young patriot, believed. Stop the wars, use silver to back American money, and downsize government so that those Shadow Powers that JFK spoke of can be taken out of our system for many generations to come. Wii, the citizens of the world that see this going on must speak out and help stop it, but also put up the solutions Wii must share to find a way to live together peacefully without destroying Nature by wasting it, not respecting it.
Time has a way of changing the perspective and though experience, gives us wisdom if Wii, the inner person and the distractive life most tend to lead that becomes their false identity, like a costume worn or a rank to show breed. Many are shedding their disguises to become real human Beings that can see and feel to know its best to honor your vessel and its well being. Don’t sell out to let AI do your thinking or soon you may feel that it can control your urges, yes, your decisions and what you see are simply algorithms that your phone will soon provide.
I gave up a great business as a Real Estate Broker in East Austin in the early days. I walked away and got to play with Adam for a couple of years before he turned 14, when his other friends began to take up most of his time, and he was off to be a man. I had gone back to work again, 80 hours or more a week, and when I saw him, that damn TV was on, and seldom did we talk too much.
Meals were eaten with the TV on, so the conversations we needed never happened, and soon after, he would leave for his bedroom or, again, not wanting to watch TV, play the new games he loved instead. We lost our bond, though never strong, for lack of nurturing over time and of conversations with him when he was young.
We played paintball for a couple of years, and I got to teach him the manly rules of combat and how to do what I had learned when I was young. My aggressive ADHD nature got to enjoy our time teaching him how to win in combat. The woods were great for teaching, but he did not die by a gun, he died at the hands of men driven by a hate for Americans. He likely had no idea such hate could exist, not knowing
It seems a decade is much shorter than it was when I was ten years old. ha!
I still can’t seem to plan that far ahead as it took decades to do what I thought I would accomplish by 50… maturing being the hardest.
That part was planned for this decade, I guess.
Long ago, a Hopi elder woman came from NM to Texas to see where the Turtle Tribe Song had begun, as part of the Hopi legends about when the Snake and the Turtle tribes rise up once again in numbers. The Turtle tribe was a people who could travel with their homes, like nomads. Today, the RV, Tiny Texas Houses are versions of portable houses. She came to me early on because I was a pioneer for sustainable paths, and modern vanlife has truly proven that it is true at last.
Giant communities are developing of Turtle Tribe members and the Snake tribe is the one that turns the poison of the media, internet, and propaganda pipelines that are toxic poison to most of mankind into a poison that they are immune to and can use to kill the Snake instead, the Hydra that seems to be so hard to pin down can be trapped, identified and perhaps at last, get all the heads cut off so that the world can start anew.
I did not understand the principles of Bakhtinian Dialogism, a phenomenon I had never heard of, which was her greatest rabbit hole she left me with: that one mere utterance from one Being to another can change the course of their lifetime. Like perspicacity, I now understand why it takes so long to know enough about many things to finally grasp the simplicity that holds all things together. There is a point in life, perhaps more than one for those of us with 7 year attention spans, or Chakra cycles. I have learned to pay attention to the calling and to be ready to leave all things or people but my partner if possible, to accomplish a life mission that meant never fitting into the world of normalacy most people find comfortable. As a neurodivergent persona in a society that does not absorb us well, I have been successful by most standards used when I was young, but now, the bar is higher than ever as I have reached my prime at a full run.
The Turtle Tribe Song is part of the tale “The Book of Wibblry and Wub,” (YouTube) with music and words describing the path to a future prophesied long ago. Savor our Dayz, my friends.
