Isle Paradiso

Well @LeChuck Le isle Paridiso it is then. and thankyou for the invite el friendo. . .

Moon base one all peaceful, on a backdrop curtain of stars. Couple of distress signals from earth though, so beaming back peace in morse code. So are you well mate , or at least within reach of it. hard question, I know, circumstance pours endlessly through the hour glass and when your recovering, all you can do is be mesmerized by it. . . I call one of my horses, Life, I have my direction thought out. but he has his own ideas and I just hang and duck branches. . .

Look forward to sharing Le Chuck. peaceful night mate. tonys moon base one.

Wellness. It is a tough one @tonys, I take it day by day. Not well at the moment but some days there's hope for the future. And some days there isn't. Problem with falling in a deep hole is you can't see over the edge to the world outside. But some days the universe throws me a rope.

I've been around this block a few times, burned bridges and broken things, lost things that were important to me, lost myself at times. I walked the rocky trail when I could have taken the garden path if I'd been wiser.

I hope I've gained a bit of wisdom and insight into myself these past ten years. I'm getting to a place where I know which path to take when the road forks.

Sharing my experiences with @EternalFlower and hopefully helping them to follow a better path than I did helps me a great deal. Trying to support is something that gives me joy. And if my experiences can help even one person, even if it's only a little, they're worth while.

As usual, your writing is like lunar poetry and makes me smile.

How are you within yourself @tonys? are you travelling ok?

Sorry for butting in...late night & 1 of 'those' days. Idk indescribable magic wrapped in warm blankets of sadness,, if you get me.

circumstance pours endlessly through the hour glass and when your recovering, all you can do is be mesmerized by it.

..and my heart is healed ❤️

Wow chuck. I heard people talk about these dark valleys where moon light never enters

You took take straight down a trail with a crumbling edge into the dark mist.

I'll tether my tentative horse and heel it from here, there's a canyon down there, and I can only just make out your lantern.

I guess that is the nature of the mind, Like stars. no two the same. See, @LeChuck

I only have Autism and brain injury, and know nothing of what really happens in the minds of most that are on Sane forums.

The honest truth is my friend. I Feel like, a phoney, a hitch hiker, on a bus of minds

lost in an abyss of pain. Reading your first . . . real open weeping wound, and I'm already

searching my pockets for the price of another fare.

Lechuck is smart, Ive seen him decisively guide troops to victory, and his troops have his respect, and yet his lips are cyanosed by the poison fed to him from the enemy within.

Your the real deal mate. A smart mind in a cage of what, I don't know.

I want to . I want to see if the key that fits my cage, will open any doors in yours.

Let people in a little at a time, you said. I wrote that down and blue tacked it on the fridge.

I got a chipped tin pannikin. outside my thick cell door. awaiting bread So... I'm forgetting my manners and just strait out asking. Where was the start of your trail that led you to this place.

one of us is old. We stand here as two men. Were not going to change things. But the smell our burning tumours on flames. Does our sickness find a catharsis in purred horror.

Oh, the key. Oooh.

@tonys , firstly, I have failed to take my own advice an not overwhelm friends by dropping everything on them all at once. I apologise for that, really I do tonys. I know you will forgive me but I hope I haven't hurt that big heart of yours.

Secondly, of course you can think of yourself as a passenger on the bus if that is how you feel, but remember there's no comparing in mental health. We all have our own struggles and I'm sure you do too, but it sounds like you've created a safe space and a rewarding life for yourself and that's the kind of inspiration we need here friend. If you enjoy being part of this community and feel you are supported by it, you shouldn't worry about whether you're hitchhiking, walking or flying first class, because we're all on a journey and we're all travellers with you. There's no need for "only" when it comes to MH, unless it helps you.

The universe threw me a couple of hours with my mum yesterday and she's a firecracker. I told her all my negative thoughts and her huge science brain found the bulldust in every single one and then gave me a talking to. They didn't go away but she has given me a rational framework to hold on to. I will hold on to her words and refresh them next time I see her.

It's partially cloudy today, but I can see bits of the sun.

You're a walking key mate. You might not be the key to cure bipolar but you unlock my mind and help me to find a way to express myself and bit of joy and hope at the end of my day.

Bipolar is what started me down that path my friend. Lots of damage done in those early years while I was still learning how to manage it. But my life is wonderful now, I'm studying a course that I love, I have a kind beautiful fiancee and family by my side, and a good medical team. I've got it much better than most so sometimes I feel like a fraud here too.

Right now I just need to search for the right medication and keep learning about myself and building skills. I am in a safe place to do that and very lucky. And making progress! This wound has stitches tonys, it's not infected and the healing process has started. There might be a battle scar but we're all covered in those 🙂

Wishing you peace and joy today tonys. Let go of troubles and enjoy the moonbase. And remember, the joy of being on a bus is that you can hop off it at any stop, tip your hat to the driver and jump on one that's heading in the right direction for you friend.

@tonys there's no need to hurt your heart worrying about me. This is not your load to carry friend. I don't want you to take even a feather's weight of it into your heart. I have plenty of people to do that🙂I‌ ‌‌‌‌‌am safe and supported. You don't need to pull me out of this hole tonys, I have supporters to throw me a ladder and the strength to climb it when it comes.

I just like looking at the moon as it passes over and knowing there's a bl**dy ripper legend camped up there and beaming good vibes to the world. I love hearing about your yabbies and swags and goats and the moonbase life, it reminds me of my childhood. 🙂h‌‌h‌h‌h‌‌h‌‌h‌h‌h‌h‌‌‌h‌‌

oops something funny is happening with my h button. But my sentiment is, don't push yourself too far in order to help others. Don't be a sponge that soaks up darkness, you deserve better than that.

LeChuck xx

Are you ok within yourself today @StanD? or at least as ok as you can be right now? Reach out if we can help in any way.

@LeChuck hello my friend. thanks for your words mate. Just a quick stop to say.

sharing words with you lightens my packhorse mate. There is a big difference between

plucking drama sucking fish from my net, or catch and release of a huge wise old eastern

cod that has lived every in the dark deep pool of the river. I marvel at worlds unknown.

You have given more of yourself than I deserve maybe. I like this old bus, but then I always did like to see them rounding slippery jungle roads.

I'm going to commit the cardinal sin and google B P, then its bent backs picking and workers and animals to feed, so back later if thats O K.

I like my bus seat. Jokers, broken stock brokers. on a potholed road of hope.

tonys , moon base one.
