Sometimes I have to recall that the primary reason to type and post is just for the fun of it. Not to give profound thoughts. Not to pass on wisdom. Not to become deluded by my own image of the greatness of my verbiage. Just to enjoy pressing keys and seeing words on paper is enough. When I recall this simple fact… words rush to page… without being blocked by thoughts of “why… what…” etc.
My problem is that I keep following the logic of the words being used today…. this leads me to roads that seem full of distrust, division and hurt. My mind wants a path to communication, trust, uplift and hope. Yet when I think about what my thoughts say… it seems I am not just making an observation, but perhaps pulling back the curtain words hide. Or… I am just putting words on paper to see what prints!!
I will clearly express the view that spending 5 days to read the Mueller report was a waste of time. It was that the actual report was not what people claimed it was or was going to be. It seemed to be the elephant as describe by “blind people”. It is a report that will not change one view of events… it is a report that will alter your perception of what goes on behind the curtain. No one seems happy with the conclusions… but that is often the case when one seeks to find truth and not just support for one’s perception. Why do we not find common ground that bonds us instead of pits us against each other!
Looking for the positive in things may seem foolish… but it makes days brighter… nights peaceful… and tomorrow something to look forward to…
Using the same Olympia Portable (1961) that I used for my first post… I now post #990. I thank everyone who has taken the time to read, comment and read some more. You bring joy to me…
I grew up at a time when taking the higher road was the road that was traveled by folks like Martin Luther King & Nat King Cole. It was one that I wanted to travel. Perhaps many see greater success by taking a lower path… but my heart belongs to those who chose the harder path.
When sound was mono & images B/W…
It is one thing to expand one’s inputs to escape one’s information bubble. What I have found is when writing to elected leaders those who reply provide the greatest change of all.
There seems to be a movement where actions of youth carry over without any mediation for growing older, becoming mature, reflection, reform and wisdom. This type of thinking rewards those best able to hide their actions or change history to reflect a life that is more acceptable than being less than perfect.
There are actions that one does not recover from… some never grow old. Some never try. I just wonder how at what point due we reject “growth” and “reform” as possible?
Its 2019, the route for this years bicycle ride across Iowa has been announced… time has come to stop slacking off… time to stop making excuses to sit back and do nothing at all. Not if I want to eat all day… have fun in the sun and ride 427 plus miles on my bicycle in July.
