"If trashpo has taught me anything its that every windblown street corner and cyclone fence is a veritable Dick Blick of free art materials."

Sounds like you're still thinking outside the bubble, Diane, no worries there! But why the single outward focus and double inward focus? Maybe it's the Walmart influence. People, build your forts. It's past time. Lynn can help, this is obvious.

Comment by DKeys on August 22, 2012 at 11:40pm

The Dkult Official Self Focus Magnifier has arrived!!!!!! Words can not express how ingenious this piece is up close and in person al.  It is amazingly inventive Lynn a.k.a. LKR.  She says "Enjoy this self focus Magnifier! It is a ONE & ONLY! The original prototype! Plans for production fell through due to a shortage of supplies--

Instructions for use:

*line up rings

*Look directly thru hole

*Focus on your self

*also helps locate good trash

I prepared the meditation room in the Elgin Mansion and waited for happy hour. I gazed into the trash bubble as instructed (with Lynn's technical writer's precision), but I was finding it hard to line up the plastic rings. I thought-is this some kind of impossible puzzle and I'm supposed to realize that I need to let go of perfectionistic tendencies? To think outside the bubble? That I'm being short-=sighted? Or was this mind over matter. Would there be a way to line them all up to achieve clear vision even though the bubble arrived a bit smashed in but was able to be popped back out? Then it dawned on me that the only way to get the concentric circles to concent, was if I was laying down in dead corpse yoga pose. As I focused outward, it made me focus inward, which led to me being more inwardly focused. I lost focus for a moment, when the trash truck drove by and Neil sounded the bell for afternoon tea, then regained it again long enough to realize--It wasn't the trash bubble that dented, it was me. I was dented. I was flawed. Only trashpo could make me whole. Lynn, I fear if Walmart gets a hold of this tool, they will squash it for fear that people will become empowered to think for themselves. I need to take some time to process this whole experience and received the LKR dowload.
