Thank you both for your words. That is the gold I enjoy and miss, speaking from your hearts, letting me know you ARE ALIVE. Its good to hear what you guys are doing and making and thinking but THIS is the stuff that shows me your alive.
Its good to hear such words from you Ken, those sincere words of whats going on inside. Its those words that brings respect and honor from me to you.
Regarding the war, I started to watch it, then met a wonderful woman at church who is turning my life upside down and inside out. I will talk more about this later, I want to wait and see how all develops with her. I will say this, she is 6ft-attractive-blonde-light blue eyes-slim and fit-very involved in church, in fact she's one of the top people there-interior designer-has run her own businesses-powerful feminine energy-vibrant-strong faith-passionate-a leader-aggressive & very creative. In fact it was our creative spirits which attracted us to each other.
My point: In the middle of all this hell shit flying around everywhere....there is still hope. There are moments all around us to do good work. Ken, you might see people with blood and feel isolated and detached. You may have walked right past a woman who is afraid and uncertain and wished she had someone to go to and feel safe and feel secure and know that she is care about....at least by ONE man.
Guys, please don't let it become the complete focus of your life. Yes, I may be looking through the eyes of a love struck man and being naive and ingnorant. But I'm not ignorant to the person next to me or the woman whose hand I'm holding or the boy who doesn't understand any of it and wants to throw a ball or the little old lady at church who needs help gettign her coffee and donut to her table. Have hope dearest friends! The worst it gets, step out into the world and BE the lighthouses. Bring people back to the virtures you believe in and have passion about. Keep balance with yourself and with others. Counteract the deeds of evil and death with deeds of good and life. (Go out and get women pregnant!!) :D
words from my best buddy Rumi:
The Master said: This that men say, that in the human soul there is an evil which does not exist in animals and wild beasts - it is not from the standpoint that man is worse than they; it is explained by the fact the evil character and wickedness of soul and vileness which are in man are according to a secret essential element which is in him. Those characteristics and vileness and evil are a veil over that element. The more precious and venerable and noble that element is, the greater are its veils. So vileness and evil and bad character are the cause of the veil over that element; and these veils cannot be removed save with grave strivings.
Those strivings are of various kinds. The greatest of them is to mingle with friends who have turned their faces to God and turned their backs on this world. For there is no more difficult striving than this, so sit with righteous friends; for the very sight of them dissolves and naughts that carnal soul. It is for this reason that they say that when a snake has not seen a man for forty years it becomes a dragon; that is, because it sees no one who would be the means of dissolving its evil and vileness.
Wherever men put a big lock, that is a sign that there is to be found something precious and valuable. So you see, the greater the veil the better the element. Just as a snake is over the treasure, so do you not regard our ugliness, but regard the precious things of the treasure.
