Notice of absence from Tristan Robert Lange
Life is full of seasons. This is a season of transition for me, where I will be moving with my family to a new location. As such, with much logistics to consider, I am doing my best to keep up. Please know if I accidentally don't respond, it is not because I am ghosting or becoming distant. Once things settle after the move, I am sure life will return to some normalcy. In the meantime, and always:
Read 👓, Write ✍️, Rise 🌅, Realize 🤯.

with the doors opened—
perception cleansed—
we can see the paths
as they have been
laying before us.
one always said
the door is a construct.
break through it,
reach the wasted dawn,
spread those sheets of gold,
copulate,
don’t hesitate,
the horse’s eyes must die,
rid yourself of the lie,
go to sleep and cry.
another,
much the same,
elevated more than a name—
key-frenzied chaos
over a cacophonous combustion—
reminded us to resist
the system’s game.
who could blame
when a stone projects fame
upon a name in shame.
one more still,
drove the rhythm,
reason—the bossa nova beat—
“this is cool,
“but what about this
“encroaching heat?
“we might become
“flayed and roasted,
“burnt and toasted meat!”
at the end of the day,
the final path—
a more taoist play—
said, “hey,
“we don’t have to go today.
sitting here’s another way.
“say....once i finish
“my delicious burrito
“and my conversation
“with this here mosquito,
“well, what do you say?
“we might as well go
“that-a-way,
“no?”

Philosophies like opinions like you know what everybody has one. A fun run through the mind of justification and procrastination to arrive at where we are even if it is eating a burrito
Thanks so much, Soren! 😂 I think that\'s about where this one lands...everyone\'s got a philosophy, and sometimes they all sound equally convincing until you realize you\'re just standing there with a burrito in your hand. Always appreciate you stopping by, my friend. 🌯🚪☯️🙏
Always a pleasure my friend
"What is truth?"
Pontius Pilate.
Thanks, Valiantstar! That's certainly one of the timeless questions, isn't it? I;m glad this one nudged your mind in that direction. Much appreciated, my friend. 🌯🚪☯️🙏
Hi Tristan. I haven't been back on this site regularly for very long, but this is definitely one of my favourite writes from you. I'll certainly be reading more of your back catalogue and keeping up to date with your new material.
I'm no stranger to psychedelics (not so much now but when I was a little younger) so this was right up my street. I've read Timothy Leary, Huxley's Heaven and Hell (and The Doors of Perception is never far from my mind whenever The Doors are mentioned), so a lot of these references landed for me.
Very much enjoyed. I like your use of alliteration in the third stanza. I use it whenever I can too.
Great write - Syd 🍄
Thanks so much, Syd! That really means a lot. I had a feeling you'd catch those references...and you certainly did. Sounds like we've crossed paths with a lot of the same books over the years. And, of course, The Doors. I'm honored you'll be exploring more of my work, and I truly appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts, my friend. 🌯🚪☯️🙏
Good write T. And of course, at the end of the day for a certain one - well, all day - spinach! lol.
😂 Thanks, Orchi! You know Popeyeus can somehow find spinach in absolutely anything. I swear the man could turn a burrito into a glugging can if left unsupervised. 🌯🚪☯️🙏
A lyrical trip in this write.
Maybe shouldn't mention 'trip'
I quite like the idea of dying for fame, as long as the royalties reach me in heaven.
Thanks so much, Paul! 😂 That gave me a good laugh. If posthumous royalties ever become collectible, I hope somebody sends us the paperwork in advance. Always appreciate your humor, my friend. 🌯🚪☯️🙏
Differently people and different perceptions. Good one.
