Why are you here? Plus: CJSM Day 141


Premises: Choices! Conclusion: Reality!

 

 

So? In the logic-of-life---why am I…here?

 

Indeed! Your choices demand your conclusion!

Nobody to blame; You, my friend, did it---all!

 

But, thee knows not me circumstance! Oh! Wise-ass!

 

I need not---and…I make no value judgment; just Truth!

 

Any problems? Any issues? Any---solutions!?

 

No! I do not know your situation! I do not want to!

 

But, I know where to see the “cause” of any consternation:

Hold up a mirror to your nose and see the cause and solution!

You! Fix it! You caused it! With your choices!

 

The Truth shall always set you free! Try it! Even---just…once!

 

Maybe a humble smile at the idiocy practiced on your part!?

Perhaps a kind word instead of a scowl becoming natural!?

How about you embracing the idea of: Christian Charity!?

A true confession: Mea culpa! Mea culpa! Mea maxima culpa!

 

So? In the logic-of-life---why am I…here?

 

You! Your decisions and choices!

 

Fix it! Live with it! Do much better---right now!

 

You committed the transgressions that brought you here!

Admit them! Confess them! Repent! Resolve! Improve!

 

Nobody else served-up here; nobody else can relieve your pain!

 

Humbly give a simple nod and---reverently pray…Amen!

 

Should you humbly confess with conviction---

Tomorrow’s beautiful new dawn will be…

Gorgeous! Your eyes shall---see!

Day 141
 
Mom & Zachariah doing counted cross-stitch
as they traveled across the country
 
 
Z. Tyler was our “shadow”-companion for his first five years with Beth in Law School; we sure enough enjoyed our little friend; wouldn’t have had it any other way.
As I have confessed my sin of “Gypsy-blood” transgressions, moving around and across the wide landscape like some “criminal” on-the-run (I really wasn’t---well…mostly!); we put some many thousands of miles under our belts and Z. Tyler rode “shotgun”, on Nanny’s lap. “modern” man with his erudite, sophisticated, invasive laws would preclude such “child-endangerment” behavior today, but, “back in the day”, old Carlos-the-renegade made his own rules. (Still do!)\
Candy is quite the seamstress, always has been. Sewed her own clothes as a child and made myriad outfits for our girls, even a winter coat for Beth. She taught Z. Tyler how to do counted cross stitch and as we traveled, they practiced the art.
The made a pillow and a Christmas stocking; an un-completed golf vignette is still held dear by Nanny; reckon we arrived at some destination before they completed it. She says she will finish it and give it to him for Christmas. What a delightfully “great” idea!
We learned early on to “make our own fun”. There is no time for boredom! Let the spirit soar!
 
Ah! Cookie Jar Sweet “1 – 2 –3 count” Memories!
