perception is a powerful thing, where under certain circumstances 5 dollars can make me feel like a king……….a baked chicken brought home from the store shared with 2 old mutts that i adore…………………doesn’t take much in the right place in the right frame of mind………to turn ordinary….into extraordinary …………………so it has nothing to do with…

i snicker at them, the follower of trends, like lemmings being led to the sea……………..the funniest of things to see people doing and wearing things that would not work for me………now i have no problem with non-conformity…………..but change for the sake of change is for the deranged…………if it has no substance how can it help…

you are going in for an operation, you notice as they are putting you under the instruments they are going to use to cut you open are rusty……..you are screwed…………you try to say wait a minute but it’s too late……………………….. same thing with the truth……………………you notice that the truth is rarely fluffy………..usually it’s like Clint…

puzzling to me that i would repeat behavior that causes me pain…………….i suppose the consequences haven’t reached such levels to merit a change in behavior…….aka……..the pain hasn’t been great enough………………humbling…..but true the stove is hot….. fired by self-will run riot, and you have been warned to back off and let it go…….but you insist…….you just…

occasionally life swallows me and i know from experience………………what to do…………i hit my knees and mumble a phase, ” God, i give up, i need you”…………………and it isn’t always right away depending on what needs to be learned………………but help does come……..this i have learned…………………when i need…………………… a vacation from myself

i want certain things for you…………because i care and treasure you……………but what i what and what you do is entirely up to you…………you have called me deceived and a relic of the past, but i believe in things that will last and when you called the ”word” absurd , that’s when i became a bird…
