One fine-day!

 

One fine-day!---Maybe!?...Peace!

(I within some vacant-space---I met…my sacred-spirit! Amen!)

 

This most amazing Game-of-Life for me has forevermore and then been only that-a Game!

Funny! A tow-head curious boy of ten in a fishing boat with Dad while Mom bar-b-ques at the brick-pit beside the clubhouse on old Fox lake I love so dear to silent-notice the “tornado”-swirls twisting soft turbulence disturbed by the oar-thrust in light-tinted green water to be quickly born a deep-hole vertex to slightly bend extending to slip away becoming placid, again.

Solace! A late afternoon in Regal! Regalia! Splendid! Mother Nature Fall display as I folly-chase some elusive phantom whitetail wraith only to know the frustration of “Success” should I Lucky bag my ghost-quarry secretly hoping that I should not “win” for then the “Game” is ended and future “fun” denied so I respite reclined against a sturdy white oak which has experienced the seasons for half a century and then my eyes alert my spirit---bright green moss gleaming in the bright traversing sun…reaching! Yearning! For sacred “light” delighting my senses acute to also journey beyond the ever-presence where this holy “spirit” is instantly summoned to “now”!

Myriad pink-blush hint-of-dawn awakening-announcement calling another day to vanquish the passing away dark-of-night in their eternal futile “game” of cosmic-tag where neither can ever proclaim a “Win” to this past, present, future never-ending fun-challenge game! Another chance! For precious-Life! For sacred-Love! For perfect-Peace! Just---Pursuit…of-the-Game!

Live! Love! Laugh! Focus-contemplate! Vigilant-be! No-one’s future is ever late!

For I have been!---And now-am!...And, on some ’morrow-dawn may future even be!? Amen!

“Hey! Big-boy! Don’t hurt yourself!” And---with those words… “Farewell!” To the seminary and a white-collar! “Hello!” And “Welcome!” To precious-Love! Faith! Family! Freedom! An embraced-enhanced holy-Delight! While the tale might be a “bit” creative-licensed the fact-of-the-matter rings forever true and the proof is in the pudding! 59!-years! 56!-officially! Amen!

Saints! & Angels! Is it man’s destiny to return from whence he came? Hmm!? Blessed! Exceedingly Blessed! From the very beginning! Parents! Family! Siblings! Relatives! Kinfolk! All! So many Good people! So very Good! All! Among us! Amen! Saints! & Angels! Amen!

Beauty & Brains! Oh! Such a very dangerous combination! Beautiful damsels! Handsome Gentlemen! Each of extremely high intelligence! Creative! Selfless! Christian-generous! Wow!

Favorites! 9-year old blonde Caty on Arabesque sans saddle on a ridge at our New Hanover home with cerulean sky behind them! Gorgeous! One of Dad’s favorite photos! 7-year old Becky in a red raincoat coming out of our old farm house at Maeystown for her very first day of school and I felt so “guilty”! I had sold our “estate” on the bluff with a fantastic view, swimming pool, near-mansion and horses and moved the tribe to a farm. Of course, I built a “new” house with a pool and we expanded from 10-acres to over 200! Still, I had disrupted our family. And---I did it once again some eleven years later…selling out and moving to Oregon lock, stock and barrel! I sure-enough reckon-so that I did it my way---and…my family suffered any consequences! Sorry!

Confession! Redemption! Salvation! I live, and, have lived, quite well! Mistakes!? Probably!? Maybe? Learning-experiences!? But, with a clear-conscience, pure-soul and spirit satiated in sacred-Peace decisions, determinations and conclusions resulted a Measure! Treasure! Pleasure!

Enough!---and…More! Amen! Love!---is…enough! As is---Faith! Hope! & Charity! These virtues are interconnected as is each of us and every atom in God’s eternal-cosmos! What!? Is it that each Independent-Individual seeks as the ultimate Prize? Love! & Peace! Amen!

My personal-prayer and wish for each Saint & Angel---

Health! Happiness! Safety! & Peace!...Amen!
