 I’ll be along!

(a Salvation! song)

 

Too many Loves within my heart have gone away

With luck and mercy I’ll join them one glad day

 

Wait for me and, sure enough, I’ll be right along

My treasure-trophies faded to a Salvation! song

 

Count not any hoarded silver or gold

Cherish not faded property now sold

Tally-true any Charity I offered bold

 

Glory! I have-been---and, am…’morrow may be?

Praise! God’s-gifts Mother Nature wonders to see

Honor! Embrace Life!-Love! Appreciate with glee

 

Spirit sense Truth! on His yonder subtle trace

Practice Goodness on heaven’s path in Faith!

Saints! & Angels! Seraphim! & Cherubim! Space

 

Too many Loves within my heart have gone away

With luck and mercy I’ll join them one glad day

 

Wait for me and, sure enough, I’ll be right along

My treasure-trophies faded to a Salvation! song

 

Too many Loves within my heart have gone away

Wait for me and, sure enough, I’ll be right along

My treasure-trophies faded to a Salvation! song

Vigilant be! No one’s future is ever late!

 

Faith! Family! Freedom! Might just be all there really---Is!

In one eternal instant the only mercy blessing will be…His!

My treasure-trophies faded to a Salvation! song

 Thanks! Mom!
 
 
A Loving- tribute to:
 
One Lovely Lady! You did a Great job, Mom! Thank you!
 
 
The exemplar Independent-Individual!
 
My Little Margie! Indeed!

                                                                               -From a grateful family! Amen!

Oh! Holy-sacred “Whisper-wind” of life

 

Rainbows! Butterflies! & Unicorns!

 

A spirit-satiated Dream-world!

 

No action required save a demanded silent-natural Appreciation!-Love!

 

  In a yonder dream which only my subconscious can recall, there, I floated in a warm-comfort Love safe and secure, a relevancy, yet unknowing of consciousness, unaware, yet, existing.

  A dreamscape-of-dark, pleasant enough in its own comfort-circumstance, perhaps, somehow, an enigma absent complaint as the mind had not yet formed enough to contemplate any future conclusion-determination as to “good” or “bad” supplying “value” to the condition at hand; surely, such was soon-enough to come---but…not until a “Whisper-wind” had miracle-swirled.

 

Oh! Sweet 1^st breath-of-life dawns a new-world

Relinquish a past---to a present…future-swirled

 

Birth! A subtle nuance like Rainbow blended color hues!

 

 

Comes a Knowing-growing Wish completed-progress!

 

  “Spank” sparks human-time/space process urging a miracle-of-life human-cry! An echo! Me!

  Challenges! Myriad and varied with exponential velocity and query-charged to live, to breathe, eat, survive and grow in physical onto nirvana-thought and consideration-learning!

  A Measure-Treasure-Pleasure trinity. a sacred contemplation resulting Knowledge-Supreme!

 

Sweet song cadenced dance choreography body-soul-spirit Trinity

Intrepid fearless dive into embraced sacred adventures Serendipity

 

Life-space reality of flutter-by Butterflies on flower fragrance sweet!

 

 

1^st-breath agrees a “final”-draw to slip the surly bonds to Future-there!

 

  “Now”-here to “No”-where the spirit vacates a body-host to wander-soul beyond the pale in celestial-heaven’s holy-sacred venue-new---Fear-not! & Follow-Me!...to slip the venue vacant!

 

For I have been---and am…and on some future may even be

Surely and truly---“I will be along!”…Just you wait and see

 

Oh! I cosmos-soar Wild-yonder on a silver-winged Unicorn conveyance

 

Amen!

To everything there is a season

and a time to every purpose

under the heavens

A time to be born

and a time to die…

 

Ecclesiastes 3: 1-2

KJ version

Psalms 23

 

The Lord is my shepherd;

I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures;

 He leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul;

He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness

For His name sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley

of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil;

For thou art with me;

Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me

 in the presence of mine enemies;

Thou annointest my head with oil:

my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy

shall follow me all the days of my life:

and I will dwell in the house of the Lord

For ever.

August (a bit early as the next 2 weeks will be a tribute celebration) Enjoy!

 August
 
Such a quiet month as summer winds down
With hellish heat intensified by relentless humidity
A delightful thunderstorm to cool it now and then
The reality school starts causes many a child to frown
 
Some sky-blue days sport fluffy white clouds
Promise near September offering crisp fresh autumn
Awful temperature highs into the upper nineties they reach
Shortened days, perhaps, yet hotter still makes August proud
 
To survive one year, I at long last traveled west
Across swift rivers, wide plains and so on
To the distant horizon just to see what is next
Over hill, down valley to the majestic Rocky Mountain crest
 
Grandeur reached for heaven still not enough for me
Across the Great Salt Lake on up Idaho-way
To the Great Northwest via the old Oregon Trail
What spectacular wonders these naïve eyes did see
 
So many places ’round this old world I’ve been
Over the ocean to see my ancestral beginnings
In Dallas-town and down old Mexico-way
To the Oregon-coast resplendent, almost a sin
 
August here not like the Midwest weather-horrific
So beautiful as to tempt my love away from my heart
If God lived on earth, this, He would call home
From coastal mountains I view the grand blue Pacific
 
 
 
 
 

Enigma!?

 Enigma?

Just “what” might the looks of an enigma be?
A plethora of personality-gifts like you or me?
Faith! Family! Freedom! Eagle-soaring free?
Live! Love! & Laugh! A triumph Serendipity?
Solve–not-the-enigma but live-the-riddle simply?
There ain’t no box! Save self-imposed decree?
Which came first: a vista Wild! sea? Or, a see?
Eyes are not for color but to clearly-see truly?
If Truth-focus suffers-blur is it so, Purposely?
How much wood would a wood? Completely?
2-’n-2 “be -fore” any “5” or greater count-tally?
Chick crossed? Egg-first? Water-flow? Finally?
Sun-moon? Moon-sun? Game-tag? Empathy?
If up-is-down? Left-is-right? Is dark lightly?
 
Amen!

My Little Margie! Adios! Mom! (1927-2024 97-years!) Peace! Amen!

 Mom-Margie!

Bye! Mom! Peace! Love you!

Thank you for much more than I can ever say.

I Appreciate your instincts, class and Love! Thank you!

"My Little Margie"! Indeed!

Amen!

Searching!

 Running!
 
To eschew any hinted-limelight of faux-celebrity might Wisdom-be
To embrace yonder empty-shine is to be bathed in a “lie” Serendipity
 
Running does not satiate life but, rather, mocks empty-echoed Hope!
 
For I have been---and, am…and may even future be…simple reality!
 
Amen!

Amen!

Some other opinions on the "new" suit! Hmm?

Other Opinions!

Feedback: Seems others took issue with my "free" suit.

Two of my "readers" did not agree with the conclusion, yesterday.

Each---Truly believe...I'd never take the suit, but definitely the "hot dogs".

 Wow!---Some people really do know me?...I love hot dogs! Hate suits!

Zoh! Well!---It's a funny tale!...At least, I think so!

And---I finally had some winning luck..."in-the-story"!

Amen!

Gambling is a "sin"---specially...when you "lose"! Amen!

 Church etiquette-“eth”!

(practiced-manners for the reverent-spiritual)

 
I ain’t much on faux-fashion or any-materialism, but---sometimes…Just go with the flow!
The rich twin-brothers in our little corner-of-the-world-berg, Art Caresh-eth and Leo Caresh-eth, each do quite well in their business endeavors; Art owns the butcher shop and Leo is a fine tailor and sole proprietor of Fashion-Passion Men’s Emporium!
Art was married to Mary Beth-eth Caresh-eth and Leo’s wife’s name was Lidia-eth Caresh-eth.
Confusing!? Well! The twins suffer a speech impediment, born of heredity; not their fault.
Nobody, well, almost no one made fun of the pair, at least, not to their faces. After all, the town was full of Good churchgoers. Me, included. We all strictly observed Church etiquette-“eth”!
Business was slow for Leo so he and brother, Art, got together, collaborated and came up with a good scheme which would generate some income that the proud boys would split, evenly.
They would run a contest through Art’s butcher shop for anyone who purchased $100 worth of meat, the buyer got a chance to guess: “How many dogs Leo owned?” The winner got a free new custom suit from Leo’s Fashion-Passion! A fine idea to generate funds for the brothers to share!
Chances were, nobody would win because the game was Fixed! The best-laid plans!
Now, personally, I ain’t so much of a gambler, not very Lucky! Can’t seem to ever Win! But---a new Leo-eth Fashion-Passion suit…Well! Yeah! I’ll take a chance! I’m all-in!  Hope-springs!
I sold a few items and begged, a bit, and borrowed some, enough to rustled-up a C-note and guessed 1,013 puppy dogs? And, I Won!---Art had 1,013 “hot-dogs”…in his butcher shop!
I claimed my prize, went to see Leo-the-tailor late on a Saturday afternoon to be fitted. He cut and measured and marked and pinned and looked and trimmed and finally gave his final-okay.
Leo said it would be ready the following Saturday! What!? No!!! Today! I needed it for church!
Well, Leo, who was already angry because I won and no one was supposed to win, carefully hung the fabric on my asymmetrical frame, pinned it “here-and-there”, employed a bit of duct tape and said to move slow and careful and, if I did so, I could wear it to church. Thank you!
Oh! I was so Proud of my very first new suit! Wow! They’d sure-enough be envious of me.
My wife was totally embarrassed and chagrined? She went into church and up to the balcony.
Now, I did have to make some physical accommodations to get the suit to “fit” just right; small price to pay for such fine threads. I had to stuff the right pants leg into my prosthetic lower leg, keep my left knee tight to the right one, reach behind me with my left hand to hold up the waist, bend severely double to take up too longs legs, hold my right arm close to my side as the duct tape was slipping and shrug my shoulders to make the coat fit good. Hey! Not so much to ask!
I waited at the church door for anybody to come in or out; I was afraid to let go of anything!
Finally, the minister came along and held the door for me; he kept his distance. I thanked him.
As I kind-a shuffled-rolled-shifted-summersaulted, tripped and slipped up the aisle to the very front pew (Hey! I am gonna be seen! Today!) where the Queen always sat in her designated private-pew as she gave me a repulsive look I heard a couple in the back of church talking; they had noticed me.
“Oh! That poor-man! Gee! I wonder what happened to him? He’s terribly crippled!” She said.
 I heard her husband reply, with charity, “Yeah! But ain’t that one beautifully tailored suit?”
 

I Appreciate Christian-generosity!---and…fine suits!

 

Amen!

Another GREAT day! Amen!

 Rain!--But...Just A downright BEAUTIFUL!  day!

Want to travel-far on the "Happiness" train?

Get aboard "life" with Love! Appreciation! & Attitude!

You don't have to come---If not...Just stay off the tracks!

You'll be just fine!---Me, too!...Aleays am!

Thank Thee! Lord!---God! I feel Great!...Come! Join me!

Amen!

'"Writing" day!

 Coming along!

Spent the afternoon "writing".

Have 2 mms. completed for my October 1, goal, Whew!

3rd effort about half finished. maybe? Tomorrow?

4th effort in my mind?---I hope, so!...We'll see, soon!

Wish me luck and talent!---I need both!...I ain't Proud!?

Fun! Challenging! Satisfying! Spirit-filling!

Amen!
