Hi exorcist_1699, I hear a... He had gave me such a helping hand too. I also remember a time when I was reacting funny to something most members on that thread knew the background ~ Jim PM me and laughed. He told me the whole story and I made a 180 degrees turn ~ much to his amusement. Thank you Jim ~ from us. - Anand

Hi ilumairen, Thank you for the invitation and this beautiful word ~ Jim's Life is a celebration ~ indeed. As discussed per our PMs - a designated time can be a constraint as Jim has friends all over different time zones. So instead ~ we will have an open house celebration from 8 am to 8 pm re his friends' local time. We will try and arrange for web hostesses/hosts to be around... but all visitors can ... But they must not forget to sign in with their hearts ~ and with good wishes for Jim... if possible. We will provide food ~ almost around the clock on 8 December... as the way to a (wo)man's heart is through his/her stomach. Yes/no? Let us have the pre-celebrations/developments take roots as in the first chakra... and be a Taiji Pole on 8 December... - Anand

Hi thelerner, Thank you. I edit, re-edit and re-re-edit this post as a response to yours... what I am trying to get across is... see you at the The Quiet Corner Bar & Grille on 8 December 2019. I remember that you had visited the place before. Time to be advised. - Anand

Lady's prerogative.

Dear ilumairen, Can you PLEASE send out an invitation here to all as the gracious hostess of the Bar & Grille? I have never been involved in any of the pow-wows before... there. I do not want to make a boo-boo on 8 December 2019... will not forgive myself for any hiccups on my part. I will supply the food... a deal? Quality over quantity ~ in both attendance and food... 1 => 2 => 3... => 10000 - Anand P. S. Dear Barbara ~ can you PLEASE help ilumairen to organize? Jim always like(s/d) a lady's touch... from the little I know.

Hi All, Has/can anyone felt/feel a certain energy flowing in/through this thread ~ in his/her own Way... in relation to Jim's Way? What have we rubbed off from Jim per a perception of his embrace of the... ? In some ways are we ONE with Jim...? Really? - Anand

Hi ilumairen, Barbara, steve, Nintendao and... Happy to note that 8 December 2019 falls on Sunday. Do you all still have the regular pow-wows on Sundays at... The Quiet Corner Bar & Grille ? If so ~ can a special sit-in be organized for Jim on 8 December... next Sunday? Again if so ~ I can contribute some finger food. Please let me know early so that I can shop, cook, bake... on time. All blessings if there is going to be a pow-wow today at the Bar & Grille... - Anand

Hi Barbara, A good closure is a good closure. Period. How sure are you that Jim is not with Joseph... for having met you? You remember...? During this remembrance, XYZ sent me this via PM - "It was really nice to see your post for Marbs. I don’t think I told anyone but my dad also passed away last year, too, and that week I had a dream they were talking to each other. 💛" ... I trust XYZ will not mind my sharing thus. - Anand

Hi Barbara - good closure in reality? Hi dawei, Each window that opens ~ a clear closure follows... yin-yang? - Anand

ME AS A NEW KID ON THE TDB BLOCK (A) I first arrived at TDB on 31 March 2017 at the Welcome Section... Hello Limahong, and welcome. Lots of folks here talk about internal alchemy. And we have Daoists, Buddhists, and Hindus so lots of people for you to talk with. You are welcome to jump right in ongoing discussions, revive an older thread, start a new thread of your own, or start a discussion in the "Newcomer Corner" sub-forms to expand on your introduction or ask general questions to help you get started. May you enjoy your time here. Marblehead" (B) On 5 April 2017 - I started to spread my wings... Hi Marblehead, I will now take my leave from the Welcome Section. Thank you for having me. I will within short move into the big domain of TDB. What will I do there? Or how will I go about there? I will search, hang around, creep around, stalk, rummage, lurk … Not to worry, I will be on my best behavior - not devious, suspicious, shady, shifty, fishy … Believe I will be 'person' focused – i.e. follow the threads of selected/reviewed bummies. It will be more holistic per person and less fragmentary. As for subjects, I will first track the ‘jing/qi/shen framework’ as reflected in a Deltrus posting. I am a graduate from a few 100 days challenges. I would like to refine myself here. If there are no postings that require responses from me, I will disappear for a while. It is not goodbye but until soon. - LimA It all started with Jim. Jim - it is not goodbye but until soon. - Anand

Hi dawei, Yes ~ he like(s/d) us to be clear on this. Very wise of him... he can/could be almost infinite... Tao Te Ching - chapter 42 The Tao begot one. One begot two. Two begot three. And three begot the ten thousand things. - Anand

Hi wandelaar, He's a crafty fox at times. Feel good that these gave him joy... You did it! - Anand

Hi wandelaar, Jim really enjoyed poking fun at you on... ... sometimes close to a point of being 'sadistic'. I can almost hear him chuckling now... When he poked fun at me ~ at times I hit back at him concretely with the full backing of... - Anand

Hi Earl, You have come across as a very intelligent kid to Jim. May I say this on his behalf...? "You did good, Kid". - Anand

Hi Jeff, But of course... (When I used these three words on Jim ~ he would respond... Hehehe...) - Anand

Hi dawei, Before... ... Jim may be happy to know that some of his Tao Bums are very well connected outside of TDB ~ through trusted socialization. - Anand

Cheers Jim!

I have not arrived at TDB for quite a while and I feel a paradigm shift now. Such a shift is a part of living ~ neither good nor bad on the surface. But good/bad in reality ~ to each his/her own... I joined TDB in March 2017 and I am truly blessed to have met Jim... Phew I nearly missed him... Now I miss Jim for having met him.

Jim was involved in the Korean War ~ knowing this, I downloaded Arirang for him at TDB. But the version I had for him then was not what Jim had in mind - and he had it indicated so. I tried again and bingo! Jim like(s/d) this version...

... because of him... ~ Jim (aka Marblehead)

Hi kyoji, I cannot recall if our paths had crossed before but... O Marbleberry gate, How could you? O Marbleberry gate, How could you? O Marblemerry mate, How should we? O Marblemerry mate, How should we? Already back in your true form, Welcome back in every norm, You've left us in the Human! Now returned to all - (wo)men! - Anand

Hi Jim, Thank you. I am back principally to post the remembrance for Marblehead... and I am touched by his residence in the hearts of those who had responded thus far. Very nice for me to feel these... Peace Bro peace. - Anand

Hi Creighton, miss you dearly my friend. from beginning till the end. recall you fondly and often... when i feel sadly... orphaned and so deeply grateful, to be able to miss you i'm struck so wholly to the core to you and you for having known you, was to expand what i know of me because all about me i see this one reality of you and be - Anand
