### - coming back to haymaker haze... this turns out to be an interesting  
one in other ways?

you realise, of course, that all these weeds produce different 'moods'

that it's these moods that colour/flavour one's perception accordingly...

and this haymaker, besides beng quite strong, has a distinct effect in  
terms of these moods

i.e., it' a very nice and pleasant mood that's actually very comfortable &  
warm

dunno how else to describe it really other than it's a very welcome  
sensation, calm but not in a sedated way... it's just a very nice place to  
be!

you feel kind of solidly centered in yourself and it's a comfortable  
feeling, one that inspires confidence in yourself to continue being &  
feeling very level...

noticeably so! and that's what makes it quite distinct :)

and because i know i've experienced this same feeling before some time ago  
although i can't remember when, obviously it's in me and i've been there  
when some other criterion, some other experience elicited it because it's  
a very familiar and welcome feeling, although again, i can't remember  
under what circumstances i got there and only that this strain has brought  
me back to it, it being a mood i'd quite like to remain in given the  
choice, but how to get back here again sans the catalyst??

that is indeed the question, and the challenge...

knowing it exists being one thing, finding it again, non-accidentally,  
being another!

for here is a very level mood of clarity worth cultivating, but having  
arrived here by artificial means i've nada to refer to (in  terms of  
experiences or activities) that would be repeatable so as to elicit it  
again, hmmm... cc would have said one had to 'intend' it if  it's going to  
be volitional, but then that's easier said than done when once out of it  
you'll hardly be able to even remember it properly, let alone reproduce  
it... the alternative being to keep some of this haymaker around only  
that's not really very practical long term, hmmm...

anyway, just thought it worth mentioning... it being an interesting idea  
that moods not only directly affect 'how' we perceive but also 'what' we  
perceive, a potentially interesting & useful tool should one ever learn to  
wield it correctly...

laters ;)
