Poems

bigfoot contemplates Nosferatu

count bigfoot

we were before
we will be again
we're the candy store
filled with sin

on our coin
the face of hunger
as we join
we become younger

offer romance
to the soul hollow
leave this dance
hunger will follow

in the flame
we're there too
say my name
it is Nosferatu

That poem the way it stands now is okay I guess. But around here we have a hard time resisting getting goofy. So here goes…

we're telling you
you'll be bitten often
a smelly shoe
is our hidden coffin

There have been several new articles in the last few months on the new vampire movie Nosferatu. I have seen one a couple of times that points out that the director Robert Eggers’ new version seems to twist some of the commonly accepted beliefs about vampires.

In this movie Count Orlok’s death is not caused by the sunlight. Instead according to Eggers it is the purity of the dawn that kills the vampire. He suggests that this is actually the more traditional vampire folklore.

“plus ca change, plus c’est la meme chose” or “the more things change the more they remain the same” This was written in 1849 by Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karrin 1849. I had always kind of associated it with Led Zeppelin (The Song Remains the Same : ) )

This quote seems to suggest that even though things seem to have changed on the surface sometimes over time that proves to not be the case. But you can always google the movie or the quote if you want to take a deeper dive.

Whatever it is you dive into today have fun. If not then consider doing something else – like immediately : )

Poems

mystery & magic

reflection in the trees

bigfoot is a myth
exciting to see
he is a wordsmith
writing thru me

mystery he brings
haunts in the trees
he is anything
you want him to be

make your selection
to become whole
he is a reflection
into your soul

in your dreams
when he comes nearer
which one of you screams
into the mirror

May your day be filled with mystery & magic & almost too much fun : )

Poems

Thom Powell Interview

basket in the reeds

open your heart
ask it where it leads
it all starts
a basket in the reeds

make it clear
and say so
do not fear
the Pharaoh

be the giver
glow with a smile
love you deliver
flow like the Nile

the elevation
of a crossed pole
the salvation
of a lost soul

Sometimes it is more difficult to edit something than it is to write it. This time I left out these 2 stanzas because I liked the shorter version better.

#4
beautiful roses
heart & head be
dutiful Moses
part the Red Sea

#6
raise the pyramids
to entomb mummies
don't raise your kids
to bloom n2 dummies

Now you can probably see why they didn’t make the cut : )

Yesterday Flash of Beauty dropped a Thom Powell interview on their you tube channel. He has written several books on bigfoot. I have read The Locals and it is an excellent book on bigfoot. He taught high school science for 30 years and basically made fun of & ridiculed the whole bigfoot thing until he bought land where there was significant bigfoot activity. The interview is a little over 59 minutes. And as usual the Flash of Beauty people deliver a spellbinding episode.

He manages to present his experiences with an almost intoxicating blend of intellectual analysis, humor & mystery. I highly recommend watching it. One thing that stands out in the interview is the goal to get the general public and the government to recognize or acknowledge the existence of bigfoot.

That is not the goal of this blog. If these beings do exist they are probably better off living as legends and myths. We are really only here to report, entertain, amuse & basically goof off. We write this with a smirk & a grin pretty sure that all to know is not known. So to all the naysayers it really is true we really do value your opinion. As a matter of fact you could say we are counting on it : )

We hope you enjoy the mystical beauty of mystery on this day & really always : )

The video of this interview is linked in a later blog post. You can find the link to it in the Bigfoot section of the Drop Down Menu.

Poems

bigfoot & Lynyrd Skynyrd

bigfoot IS free bird

bigfoot is in the trees
where he wintered
call him the breeze
like Lynyrd Skynyrd

does not abide
in the bars
or play slide
on the guitars

doesn't use cash
but does have a crew
a fiery plane crash
he'll avoid that too

is filled with sorrow
by the forest flame
if he stayed till tomorrow
it wouldn't be the same

try to absorb
let it be understood
he floats in an orb
thru the woods

strange to the eyes
it sounds absurd
but there he flies
free as a bird

In looking at the poem the line that bigfoot is saddened by the forest flame does remind me of several things I have read about rescue missions to round up injured and dead bigfoot after forest fires. Most of them seem to revolve around the Mt. St. Helens eruptions. Like every thing else involving bigfoot these stories seem to exist in the land of myth & legend. But that might be just as good of a land as any to write from : )

And the line made me giggle because it caused me to imagine bigfoot in a Smokey the Bear hat. We hope you get a chance to giggle today many times. And we wish & hope that in your heart & soul that you fly free as a bird!!!

Bigfoot

bigfoot is fast

gorillas in the mist

gorillas in the mist
thunder in the woods
bigfoot exists
misunderstood

big & hairy
young & sleek
this commentary
tongue in cheek

without a trace
he is not found
got this race
all turned around

you may mock me
in this discourse
he may be the jockey
& we may be the horse

I probably should have saved this poem until a little closer to the Kentucky Derby. As I was typing it out and thinking about it one thing that I thought about was the many bigfoot sightings that I have read about & listened to & the reports of the speed of bigfoot. Usually people are just as astonished at the speed as they are the immense size.

I remember reading or listening to a Tennessee couple’s account that said they were pulling into their driveway at night when they saw one crossing their yard into the wood line. They said that it moved so fast that they were afraid to leave the vehicle & go into the house. It had moved so rapidly across the yard they were sure that it could come back before they could make it into the house.

This type of fear is reported over & over again in sightings. It seems to point to Bigfoot having no desire to inflict harm on humans. Tim Baker in his Flash of Beauty interview did caution that you never should intentionally try to harm one. He stated that he had been involved in many investigations where people had been harmed and that it was almost always because they had shot or intentionally tried to harm one.

& as I end today’s blog post I want to give a shout out to everybody reading this thinking. “Just how are you supposed to try to harm something that doesn’t exist?” : )

bigfoot & the Bible & the nephilim

of Eden bereft

it is fleeting 
even as it starts
it is beating
Eden in our hearts

it is a cost
for all to shoulder
what was lost
as man got bolder

it is a plan
that Heaven aborts
it is a life span
that's cut short

it is facing the hordes
& the next hit
it is flaming swords
at the exit

nothing much left
but to make do
of Eden bereft
we flew

If you spend much time looking into bigfoot at all it won’t take you long to run across somebody trying to see if there is a connection between bigfoot and the nephilim in the Bible. These beings are mentioned in Genesis 6:1-4. I think the line of thought is that they were the offspring of fallen angels & human women. They were large & strong giants. They are pretty mysterious. Which kind of falls in line with bigfoot & the rest of the cryptid band.

That last line makes me giggle & wonder if bigfoot & the rest of the cryptids were getting the band back together would the nephilim get a call. Who knows? I guess that’s what all these researchers are trying to figure out.

But seriously it seems that most of the guys looking into this seem to be proposing some type of scenario where bigfoot may be some type of descendant of the nephilim.

The Flash of Beauty does an interview with Tim “Coonbo” Baker. Actually they taped 2 interviews with him. In one he is sitting in a chair just telling his story. And in the 2nd one he is taking them all over his farm telling stories about all the times he & his family interacted with bigfoot. These 2 interviews along with another one that they did in Alabama are not to be missed. The Flash of Beauty people do a wonderful job of filming and recording because they are professional film makers. But I think their true talent may be in finding the story tellers and helping them tell their stories while somehow communicating the mystical beauty of the mystery in all of it.

In the interview with Mr. Baker sitting and talking he goes into great detail about using a Shofar which is a type of horn that the Israelites used. According to Mr. Baker it was the type of horn that was used to bring down the walls of Jericho in the story that is told in Joshua 6:1-27. Anyway he tells some amazing stories about the time it took to procure one of these horns. He consulted with a Jewish mystic to try to track one down & learn how to play it. This video probably goes into more detail about the possible connection between the nephilim & bigfoot than any other that I’ve seen.

The 3rd interview in Alabama is titled A Flash of Beauty: Southern Strangeness and it more than lives up to its title. And to tell the truth it is refreshing to see bigfoot documentaries & interviews in the southeast. I grew up thinking the bigfoot was only in California, Oregon & Washington. But it turns out he is pretty much nation wide. & I smile when I think of the naysayers who read this & think to themselves “I’m sure there are just as many bigfoot on the East Coast as there are on the West Coast.” : )

In the process of reorganizing the blog I am linking the video of Tim Baker giving a guided tour of his farm while he tells bigfoot stories at each location.

Poems

a clown in Bigfoot’s circus

bigfoot the ringmaster

it's not exactly
that mainstream
more like wacky
to the extreme

all your days
Heaven allows
you to raise
people's eyebrows

I cannot lie
it's a tight race
as people try
2 keep a straight face

enter the room
spread bigfoot around
& you wear the costume
of the clown

but continue to sing
& work the bigfoot file
there are worse things
than making people smile

We hope you smile today…

like A LOT!

bigfoot can see n2 your heart

brave the storm

don't be markless
make your mark
there is a darkness
in the heart

we all feel it
in the end
what can heal it
is a friend

an empty canvas
in a storm
Heaven hands us
a chance to perform

spread your wings
do your duty
make it a thing
of sheer beauty

So what does the state of your heart have to do with bigfoot? Everything!!!

Flash of Beauty has an interview with Tara Harris a medium who claims to have had and is having ongoing conversations with a bigfoot on their channel. She states that they can see peoples intentions and feelings coming out of the tops of their heads. I think they can see some type of energy going up to about 12 inches above their head. I would encourage you to watch the interview. It already has almost a million views. My explanation may be as about as shaky as my comprehension of it all : )

As strange as this does sound it does fall into line with Dr. Joe Dispenza when he describes the energy centers in the body to focus on during meditation in his book Becoming Supernatural. He calls this 8th energy center the Ka. He states that it is located about 16 inches above the head. He states that it represents our connection to the cosmos and to the quantum field.

I have been watching a lot of Chuck Jacobs videos lately and he states over and over that bigfoot seems to like people who have a good heart and an open mind. And he seems to be sure that they can tell.

In his book The Earth Has A Soul, C.G. Jung tells a story about talking to an old Indian man in New Mexico in 1925. The old Indian man told him that the white man is always mad because he thinks with his head. He then explained to Jung that you are supposed to think with your heart. Jung said that once the man told him this that he fell into a deep meditation and could look through history and see the true picture of the way of life that he had been taught to live. He said that he felt a sentimental mist welling up inside of him for something that had been long ago sacrificed. A constant theme in his book is that we are losing a connection to the earth as we march on in our technological advances. He states that “Knowledge does not enrich us; it removes us more and more from the mythic world in which we were once at home by right of birth.”

Maybe one of the many reasons that this bigfoot creature is able to do all of the things that a lot of people claim that he can is that he is still living in that mythic world in a close relationship with the earth that is much more alive than we think.

In the process of reorganizing the blog I am including an interview video with Tara Harris from A Flash of Beauty. The part where she talks about bigfoot being able to see our energy is around 14:00.

Poems

historical bigfoot

still free in the trees

sun and the moon
head in the clouds
it's a tune
that Heaven allowed

Daniel Boone
away from the crowd
pretty soon
the ground plowed

trade the trees
for the plow
prepare for the freeze
feed the sow

it's a decision
long ago made
bigfoot commission
said no & stayed

put on clothes
in new homes
bigfoot froze
& continued to roam

who chose good
who chose wiser
maybe you should
ask your supervisor

COMING SOON

An article or post on Hawaiian culture or music. While this blog is primarily about bigfoot it will occasionally focus on Hawaiian culture & music. It is generally accepted that there are no bigfoot in Hawaii. The best explanation that I have had heard is that is has some thing to do with the magnetic lines that run through the earth. And it makes me giggle to think that a lot of people would read this and suggest that a better explanation is that bigfoot does not exist.

I am also working on a post about a collaboration between a bigfoot experiencer in Alabama and man in Arizona who seems to help people all over the country communicate with them. It is just crazy!
