So it has been another month.  I continue to race headlong to my death - one day at a time.   I have been trying to wean myself off of FarceBook & I have deleted my Twit-er account (because I seemed to keep getting into fights with opinionated people that do not understand that their opinions do not matter any more than the stuff that we each flush down toilets daily).   

But at the beginning of the summer I asked a friend to try to make time for coffee.   Their job affords them a little more free time at that part of the year  - so I was hoping to see their face & hear their voice.  But that has not yet happened.     I did lose a few more friends - one was a member of a "step-working-group" that I once participated in.   The other had connections to my world in a myriad of ways that remind me that although we are distinct entities in this existence we are very much all still connected to each other.   

Be Well,  Be Content (and if not affect change), Be kind to each other as you pass through the void.    Consider yourself hugged.

Yes Aug 1st; and on that day ... someone that I miss will turn a year older.      They may never know it but I will mark their birthday.     I will also mark the birthday of another friend that does still participate in my life from time to time.      And that is the point that I want you to take from this.     Remember the people that you have lost, misplaced and let go of .... but cherish those friends that opt to stand true.   

Be Well,   Be Happy  .... and if you can, try to leave it better than you found it.

So I awoke this morning to the news that Stephen Hawking had passed away.    Oh, and I had forgotten to adjust my clock before I retired last night so I gave someone a wake up call that was an hour late.   In my defence, I had not been home since the time change & as I am in the habit of changing all the clocks that do not self-adjust on the evening of the change before bed ... it was an simple oversight.  I was  laughed at and  forgiven - in that order.

Now since it is PI-DAY, and one of the more respected minds has left us ... I thought of a lost friend.   I make a point of leaving her alone for the most part these days.  But I fired off an email to the last email address that I have for her letting her know that there are still days when I miss her company.   Tonight I will make a point of spending time with friends that want to participate in my life, and at some point today I will phone my mother and remind her that I love her.    IF you have not made time lately, I urge you to fit it in  .... Hug Your Kids; Phone Your People; Make Time For That Coffee  .... because even the smartest of us will run out of time with things left on our To Do Lists.

"Man, your time is sand; your ways are leaves upon the sea ...". I AM ...
 
We, the people, ... expect preferential treatment. Mankind will never understand what equality is, because no individual is capable of putting aside their own specific wants/needs/expectations .... to achieve that end. And so inequity will always rule in this existence. Yes we will espouse our belief and desire for that ideal. But our own collective actions will prove us liars & hypocrites.
 
Accommodating every conceivable possibility has cost untold millions, if not billions, but we have not met expectations yet. And every day someone else stands up an screams "What About Me; What About My Needs!" How many of those voices crying out in the wilderness have forgone a day's meals, or even a single meal in solidarity with the person who will DIE of starvation TODAY? When was the last time that YOU did?
 
Society wants what they want, but only when somebody else is responsible for making it happen.
 
What earth needs is an apocalypse - a cleansing of the human infestation. I make a point of trying to not look past the veil of time these days. Linear time time is so comfortable, until you notice that your allotment is running out. In the mean time ... what have you done to lighten the load of those who suffer so that you can live in comfort? Are you your brother/sister's keeper? And if you can find no comfort in those thoughts ... be not afraid - for we are all simply manifestations of GOD's dreams as he/she/it/ I AM/WAS/WILL BE remembers all that ever was.

"The best laid schemes o' mice an' men gang aft agley" ... I had meant to get back here a long while back but you know how time can slip away.      There have been more names in the obits... there has been a couple of major storms; one of which hit Texas - where one of my absent-friends has moved .... I can only hope that she is well, because I decided to let her be.     I took a trip to Cape Cod for a brief vacation and so it goes.  

The thing is, time keeps going ... I do not like linear time.   it is a human construct that only truly applies to our physical corporeal existence - an illusion.    But as long as we are in the physical it applies.   I know that there are ways to step outside of this restriction, but some might say that what I believe is just a delusion.    Still, what we believe is our personal reality. 

But I digress;  make time to do what it is that you know in your heart to be important.   The other things will expand to fill in as much of your life as you allow them to monopolize.    Be well, Be kind & try to help those along the path .... If you have not been told lately,  You Are Loved !

My name is Rick, but I have answered to many names over the years.  In fact there was a time when I prided myself on being "whatever it was you needed me to be" but those days are long gone.   Now I am much more comfortable in my own skin.  When I am not busy being a web-application developer, I like to run.  L really enjoy eating & am a fairly competent cook.  I  know the value of, and meaning of LOYALTY,  INTEGRITY,  HONESTY and a few other words.     I have some strong opinions & have been known to offend people when I express myself without thinking.

 

The Other Guy ... we'll call him Kilroy ... because that seems to get his attention.   He is a bit odd at times; mostly harmless unless provoked and generally more fun than I am.   Kilroy would have made a great soldier ... or a Borg - he would have made a pretty good Borg too.  As it is he is a son, brother, an uncle, a friend, a traveler & a guardian; he is a witness and an observer, a teacher & a student, a drop-out and a genius   ...  
Oh and he is a long time "friend of Jimmy K"

 


We look forward to getting to know you ...
