do you remember...............?

What did Paul Simon say about old friends?  "memories brushes the same years-silently sharing the same fears".  Today we old friends got together to reminisce about life, loves, and battles long forgotten, Bob, Doug and myself...........we don't see each other very often, but none of us are clingy....decades can span our get togethers but when we meet its like yesterday....the vibrancy that charged our past lives has not diminished...thats good....very good.  .....
"It takes a long time to grow an old friend".......John Leonard

Is Bobby McGee a boy or a girl???

What happens to us when we finally realize that those long held fantasies of wealth and oppulence that we have nurtured for most of our lives are never going to become reality? The truth is that we are here, this is now, and our reality is.... is...is.... is what??  It  is what we believe it to be.....For some it is wealth and power and lavish life accoutrements that are beyoned the grasp of  the ordinary. This is OK. No problem here. But, have you ever stopped to think that real wealth is inner peace, calmness of soul , thankfulness to be alive, and gratefulness to whatever higher order in which you believe for  the opportunity to orchestrate your personal destiny. This is the exemplification of wealth...personal freedon ............
"The greatest wealth is to live content with little".............Plato
What did Kris Kristofferson say........and Janis turned the words into an anthem for a generation........????

My house is supposed to close on Feb 28, 2011............................

Bittersweet............

My mother died on Valentines Day........Zosha bless her heart,  departed forever, as we all must,  this plane of existence......on Valentines Day..........the exact date is of no matter!!
PLANE....PLANE.....Wikopedia..........."infinite width, length, and depth of curvature...........yes, the PLANE of our lives..........how many of us for whatever reason do not explore, do not probe, do not finger, do not challenge, do not stick it in  the extent, boundries, depths, and  limitations of our lives......we slide along with our "preposterous gagetry"-Sterling Hayden. We live in fear of unrealistic perils and dangers that only exist in the hearts of fearful souls...it makes no matter.....we all die.....who was Zosha?....who were you?.....who was I?

Oh Please, Oh Please, Oh Please.................................

Remember when you were a kid....and you're mom or dad told that you were going to experience something extra special. ...like Disneyland, Knotts Berry Farm, Confirmation, Pacific Ocean Park, Dollyworld, Six Flags, visiting Grandma....ok forget KBF...............but, the point is that you were besides yourself....every second seemed like ten.....every minute seemed like a hundred.....every hour seemed like a thousand.....every day seemed like an eternity..........you couldn't wait....your life was on hold until THIS happened..............you couldn't sleep...all you did was toss and turn all night thinking about your presence in this promised state of joy....you didn't analyze the promise because you're afraid that scruitny might jinx the outcome... so you are benign in your joy of expectation and in your fear of disappointment.....you wait....you wait......you wait.....silent.....heart tempered....for that special day to come....................well, there is a contract on my house..............many things yet to work out......"sweet slumber, please embrace me tonight"...
