Searching?---"Seek!"...and, Ye-shall-truly-find!
Running---doesn't make your life-full...it empties your-life of-value!
Hording---doesn't add "worth" to your-being...it just witnesses your-selfishness!

A Gorgeous-day! Again!
Warm! For a late-February day! Near 60-degrees! Sunny!
Fed the-mares! Did a-"little" spring-cleaning in the shed.
Trimmed a few-plants in the winter-garden; covered plants with leaves.
Miss-Penelope frolicked in the yard enjoying the early-spring scent.
Thought about the 1st bar-b-que of the year; decided to-wait. Hmm!
All-in-all?---One Great-day!...Again! & Always! Thank-God!
Already looking for that first pink-blush of the 'morrow new-dawn!
Amen!
"What?" do you-have!?
"Right-now!---That's-it! Bunky!..."Right-now!" Embrace! & Enjoy!
Sunny late-February day! 50's! Gorgeous! Mid-winter! Ahh!
So? How did we "Embrace! & Enjoy1" God's precious-gift? Again?
We took fried-chicken dinners to our "private" Fox Lake retreat;
we sat in the-vehicle, chatted, dined and enjoyed Life! & Love!
Come-on! Boys & Girls! Spirit-Peace! really is just-that-simple!
I can't-wait for the promised 'morrow-dawn!---Again!...Ahh!
Just---Plain-ole...do-not let it slip-away! It-is-important!
Celebrate!---Life! & Love!...Everyday! I sure-enough do!
Hope you had a very "special"-day!---I-celebrated-it!...Always!
Amen!
"Beauty"! & "Value"!
"Beauty!" is, indeed, in the-eye of the-beholder! Personal-Opinion!
"Value!" In an intrinsic-worth irrelevant to-opinion! Based in-Truth!
Celebrate!-Beauty! Treasure-Value! Pleasure-Life! Embrace-Love!
Amen!
"Look-at-me! Look-at-me!"---Really!?...Yuck!
"They"-Always!?---Just gotta-be---"In-the-limelight"!? Wow!
And---there it-is!...Why I have no-truck with the so-called "elites:"!
I will-not indulge: elite-ism! (There just ain't-none!) Just---"Slop"!
No: Show! Silk-suit! Jewelry! Car-emblem! Logo-(b.s.)! None-of-it!
Just---Stop! The-idiocy!...Nobody is-watching without...laughing!
"I"-ain't a social/cultural-clone!---Don't know-any!?..."They"-all...look the-same!
Period!
Amen!
A-"Human"-condition! (Your personal pure-choice!)
Wanna-change your-life from Bored! Lonely! Afraid!? Your-choice!
Choose!---Life! Love! Happy!..."Decide" Your life-trace! Amen!
Embrace---Faith! Family! Freedom!...Eschew any & all "evil"-vacancy!
Celebrate the overwhelming-"Good!" evident in our-world! Amen!

Your Turn
There be that peaceful time when all is well
Fearsome evil storms He did calmly quell
This world, it is a-changing’ for the better---LESS!
Cannot get worse? It is a most convoluted bitter mess
My mantra: Faith! Family! Freedom! Independently
To this world of evil lies choose live quite
contradictorily
Yet, in the eternal of “educated”-masses
Idiocy reigns among wee lads and lasses
There be “that guy” of whom they warn
“Mess” with him, then surely reap his scorn
To live like that, they think, must be pure sad hell
on earth
One enigmatic anachronistic anomaly ever since his
birth
We be quite hip and super smart Oh! Talented beautiful
people
Each Sunday morn we reverent shadow door under a tall
steeple
What possible importance “Pure”? When life be short
Spew from My mouth every one of that lukewarm sort
Just whom does he think he be? His Excellency!?
Only an unambiguous obelisk to His Irrelevancy!?
Hubris suit severely criticize when out of sight
Always his inane raving-ranting comes to light
They do mock the “village idiot” in his Traditional
“Tread Lightly!” Lest be educated to his inscriptional
Some lie they’re young and “cool”, can text
Middle-age, wake up! Your turn is---NEXT!
Amen!
Truth! (Do-you really want-it!?)
Independent-Individual! Self-sufficient! Confident! Ladies! & Gentlemen!
The WW II-generation men and women were Independent-Individuals!
They neither needed nor searched for any-others approval. Wow!
"Modern"-folks seek-approval! From-everybody! Purposed-misery!
Stand on "proven"-principles which will stand blatant-scrutiny! Hmm!
If your-beliefs will-not hold-up---they are-False!...Find Turth! Amen!
"What other-people think of-me is none of my-business!" (James Cavezil-actor)
Adieu! Les Mon-Amie!
Final-edition of the Monroe County Independent!
Ed---So-sorry to see the Big-“I” scribe-“30” on
its final bi-line, today! Thanks for printing my messages over the-years.
Advice from a wanna-be writer: Put your accolades into book-form (you might
sell more copies of that one-effort than I’ve sold of the 15-books I’ve
penned.) Candy’s-sister, Denise Hoffman-Nobbe, (Alan) has a very-nice
book-publishing program; the two-sisters did a beautiful Hoffman-family
tribute. Good-health! & Best-wishes! Carl & Candy P.S.-I pray
friend-Monte welcomed ole “Rush-bo” to his heavenly-reward, today! God-bless! Amen!
Adios! El-"Rush-bo"!
So-long friend-"Rush"! It's been a-Wild! & satisfying-adventure! Life!
I've been told that you "trade" in evil"Hate"!---I-say..."Not-so!"
I found your-"intent" not un-like my-own!---based-in...Pure-Love!
Love-of: God! Life! Love! The U.S.! The-Constitution! Conservatism!
Tradition! Laughter! Christian-Generosity!Faith! Family! Freedom!
You decried any-"evil" that came against your treasured-beliefs.
One can call out Satanic-intent with-Love---the opposite...of-Hate!
Many-complain and -lament "chosen"-rants; others attempt "solving"-problems!
"Global-warming!?"---Issue!?...I-planted 12k+-trees! Hope it-helps!
Rest-in-eternal-Peace! My-friend! El-Rushbo!---And...Thank-you!
Amen!
Through this awesome, now mid-7
decades-journey, I-pray I have assimilated their-Good!
They sowed the seeds-of-Love! Precious in their-intent, sacred
in their-intensity! Love!
In eon-time I harbor no evil-hate! Such is not-allowed within me holy
lexicon-of-life! Amen!
Perhaps!? One-day!?---When (simple-humble)-I am-Perfect(!?) Then?...No! I will not-participate!
Such evil-dishonor
to any-other merely-disparages---me...not,
them! Evil-stains me-soul! Injures me
spirit-Wild! And---me-spirit
soars!...on a silver winged-Unicorn across the cosmos!
In a search for some possible-Redemption hoping sacred-Salvation! on this sojourn through-life,
I-pray a return-in-kind the Saintly-Angel
“Praise! Honor! Glory!” bequeathed
to-me! Amen!
I-dare claim/pretend that I-be Holly-Jolly Santa Claus! I simply Love! to-give!
Fun & Games!
In rhythmic-rhyme me-attempt is-made to
offer-Love! inspiring a-smile,

Each birthday-holiday I-create a celebration-poem for the celebrity-of-the-day! Voila!
In these stanza-couplings I-attempt
to-convey my deep appreciation-Love!
for the-recipient.
(simple-humble)-I live in a
non-materialistic venue personification of-Faith!
–Family! –Freedom!
If
ever
I-harbored a “secret”-wish for-life---It is-this…a Great!-family! And---I-am…Blessed!
So? From this
swirl-of-come-reality
blend-function---am-I…Then! Now! Perhaps? Tomorrow!
The-following twist-and-turns of-maze,
a-collection honoring me-progeny! A sacred-Family!
Live! Love!
Laugh!
Focus-contemplate!
Vigilant-be!
No-one’s future is ever-Late!
Faith! Family!

Might just-be all there really---Is!
In
one eternal-instant the only mercy-blessing will be…His!
Amen!
From: Saints!---To: Angels!...Amen!
My-parents were-Saints! Evolving to-Angels!
All of my-grandparents were-Angels! Amen!
Revelations often dawn like pre-sunrise
light; this one offered Redemption! &
Salvation!
I awoke to awesome-snow
delighting-nature one day after Valentine Heart-day;
what came to-mind, out of the-blue, inspired the challenge of this-work. Why? Are Grandparents…Angels!?
Age tends to
dull-substantially provocation to indulge-desires encouraged by evil-temptation; whether that-conclusion
is purposed by honed-wisdom or a
remedied-necessity of some faux-proof
to satisfy some Cool!-personna
indulging vacant treasure-measure-pleasure
imagined-figments settles into-mist like purple-eve dissolves day’s
last-flicker into nighttime cooling-bliss.
It is-not so-much a case-of “The-spirit-is-willing-but-the-flesh-is-weak”
syndrome as it just might turn-out to-be a-rationalization and capitulation to
plain-ole “Good-sense”! Hmm!?
Soft-loving memories of my-ancestors
invade an-active network of curious mental-adventures; each of my
familial-predecessors un-conditionally loved and treated me like a-prince! I loved them to an
emotional-fault; a-purposed mutual-admiration conclusion. They were-kind!
Generous to-a-fault! (Not just to me and family, but with a Christian-generosity to-all whom they
might-encounter.) They taught Good-!
Moral!- Ethical!- Sacred!- life-love lessons!
Perhaps!? I have gleaned a-bit of
holy-reverence toward-others from these Sainted-Angels!
They seemed “always-there”! Waiting!
Understanding! Healing! Satiating! Aiding! Angels!
They encouraged me in my-challenges
learning life-traces, -dangers, -trials and –snares! No-criticism was ever
forthcoming; it is-not in the-realm
nor communion-band of Sainted-Angels!
