A Sort of Slapstick, and a challenging and rhapsodic way of telling
 |
| Gardener smartness may enable good crops to grow |
AS FOR what we call bramble humour, wit and wisdom, such tales are existential and should
loom tall. You're halfway expected to sort out your favoured "nuts" of insights yourself.
Good luck to you.

throughout:The Wise Physician
A KING set to sea on a ship with some of his courtiers. A courtiers who had never been to sea before, sat in the empty belly of the ship and screamed and wailed as the waves carried them up and down, up and down - Many tried to calm his fears, but did not come through a bit.The king could hardly bear to hear the courtier's cries any more when his physician came up to him and said, "Sir, with your permission I can calm him down."
The king gladly gave his permission, and the physician ordered the seamen to throw the screaming courtier overboard. They did it. The courtier thrashed about in the water, gasped for air and for dear life cried to be taken on board. Then the seamen pulled him out of the water, and from then on he sat quietly in a corner. The surprised king asked the physician, "What wisdom is contained in this action?"
The physician said, "He had never experienced the salt sea before, and didn't know how dangerous it can be. So he did not know how good it is be to have a ship between oneself and the water.
Refrain from this kind of anxiety therapy.
Bramble surveys

| Smartness and skills need to be coupled with tact, and hopefully with humour and relevant outlooks too in the long art of handling "brambles" |
In art and folklore it's hardly much different. In folklore there are unusual types. We could study them to derive benefit from some of them in time, if all goes well. To get really handly and meticulous can be half of the battle.
Fancy figures in folklore run deeper than many of us get aware of. Various types tend to represent us or facets of some of us. For they are arrived at by human fancy for most part. We leave UFOs aside.
The nix in the brook and near the mill is a fabulous artist. He doesn't sulk. He teaches the fit, good beginners how to become marvellous artists, as he is teeming with practical knowledge of the very best sort. He's a spell-binder also.
Those who get taught by a nix may find that their deft, practical knowledge is met with opposition, laughter and derision in a lot closed circles, including chauvinistic ones. That is how things usually are for the self-taught ones that haven't been all tamed and shaken into deep submission no matter how.
The point is: If you get informal instructions or very good practical skills as an artist - whatever - outside the circles that are reckoned with, your future may become a hell. The Law of Jante as exposed by the Danish-Norwegian writer Axel Sandemose often sees to that. His guessed-up half-norms grope into self-righteous but narrow attitudes that ensure conform flock life most often.
To combat censure and sanctions to ensure conformity the untamed man tries to go along as tall as he can. If his better outputs are derided by nosy offenders, maybe he takes to irony. The moment you're in a sort of danger in some way or other, you may prefer ridicule and irony instead of helping offenders along. For if you cast pearls for swine, they may turn against you and mar much. To combat parts of it, you might try clowning degradation of the future offender. And that's much of what the newly arrived at bramble lesson is about more often than not. That sort of survey has its intrinsic build-up, but we don't have to go into the novel mathematics and quite Feynman-allied vectorising that goes into it here, do we?
One good thing about a sound bramble study is that it isn't contorting and twisted, not rabid either. Some can wake up from delicate falls by it. And then it can be excellent for pinpointing is seemingly offhand manner if you're wise and good at it. It surely resembles sound, tought joking very often, but the humour you may find, may seem smoother than usual. It's excellent help to stay fair. And still it may be fun to read and look into. It has to do with the design along with its content. But in the end we may not like such well faceted clowning at all - in one or more sections - though very many of the bramble's suggestions could be utterly helpful, in another context or setting, or if presented in some other way. If you handle brambles truly well, not like an offender but insider expert, you can pluck the berries or rose hips and prepare good food also.
Now, very many observations or points inside the bramble service lesson are straightforward. The open question is whether offenders are able to "swallow" offhand-looking pinpointing, if they rididly and cramped insist to be better than you, no matter the evidence at hand. Jesus met a lot offenders of just that sort. "Isn't this the carpenter's son? (Etc.)"
Your question arises: "What can you do with the bramble study?"
One answer: Any bramble lesson goes a long way to ridicule offenders, and it may be too hard to tell it. Try. It's humbling. In the start the bramble lessons may be appreciated as a good joke. Later you may get the position of a clown for such stuff. Handling offenders by refusing to get silly is hard. To be a clown is hardly best. Let Jesus give many examples. They're in the gospels.
If you take to deft and cogent bramble humour, there could be a risk that the offenders and your good associates may sense a cynical, weird attitude from you.
Yet say: "It's better than perdition.". And that is a very good sign you should go for better circumstances and associate with good people - not the dubious company that you tune into by the bramble essay.
Good clowning isn't enough. The moment you've been offended for a fit help is the moment to leave the offending ones to their fate.
You can be fair also. I suggest we refrain from clowning. The bramble lesson is for just that. It hardly casts much for swine. This essay may very often serve such fitness.
Jesus insists that many people will never understand; never perceive if their hearts have become calloused. Otherwise they might see and understand with their hearts and turn, and he would heal them." - Matthew 13;14-5.
Also, "Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces." - Matthew 7;6.
Hard-hearted fools may fake they're gentlemen even during holy communion, but beneath the surface show or window dressing there's the risk their hearts are hard. The religious-looking, conceited guys may be the worst you come across. That was indeed what Jesus found out. They got angry with God for giving them clear notions: Our tick tack toe essays (q.v.) are identical to parables in their basic build-up (structure) and many other devices are attuned.
If hard-hearted jerks openly deride you for that, you could look to Jesus: He took to whistling and booing them off the stage in return. A great conflict rose. Better luck next time.
You're not one triune God - let his sacrifice or atonement be enough. If facing suspicious-looking fellows or offenders your part will be to tone down at once. Just be as smart, cogent and bland as you can. Mind your own business a lot better, get good garden fences, and the rest could be up to you. And in between, good rest and a rather classy joke (anecdote) may ease the way.
The special design that's called sophomore and marked by such stages as A, B and C, may complement a bramble lesson service. It means that if you know how to make them, these two marring designs may serve you - not a "them" at all.
Go for the best. A bramble lesson isn't it. Yet it contains a whole lot. The receivers may never really want to retort -
There's something better than clowning: Bramble service. You're permitted to go deep by any of them. So take time to ponder them well, any of them. If so, two bramble studies should become as good as many a one-book study. Then stay as classy as you can.
Bramble anecdotes
This tall entertainment is a variant of what may be called nice deals inside slapstick-like and synergetic humour. Crackpot wisdom can be taken as a synonym. There can be various types of brambles and various outer garbs of wisdom. We prefer culinary and not tactless art and wisdom for most part. Bramble humour or bramble anecdotes are replacement words. You may learn how to study the bramble service: Here is a feature article on how to seem garrulous or awkward in one of the bramble ways.The intrinsic layout inside bramble witticism allows for varous outlets. Some may seem garrulous, cantankerous. Others marked by terse or outright humour. Irony can often be smelt at botton, but it may seem so undefinable that "crackpot" wins the labelling game till a bit later; it could happen.
Some bramble studies have aphoristic wisdom as one of their built-in hallmarks. So there are many good outlets here. This artistic way of presentation is much allied with sound folk wisdom - it's often cajouling, but with a good intention deep inside it. It can be humorous, warm and easy-going too, and maybe a bit off-hand to look at for outsiders. It goes against whinking and complaining quite often. You can "melt" others by it, for witticism is very hard to tackle.
So much for the uses. There's more on it in the feature article that opens it. You can be deft if you learn the intrinsic, built-in code that it speaks" on top of, as it's one of the derivates from the ground design, the tick tack toe scheme.
Bramble stand: "We combat little" - because we know better than that in a bramble thicket, for example.
