Perhaps somewhere along the way our paths will cross. If not, well, I'll see you back here in a week or so :)May you express the gift of encouragement at the time needed to lift up a friend.
Check out this "youtube" link that shares one guy's song on the subject...
Rain, sure quick thunderous multitudinous “rain”
Soaked, completely wringingly clamorously voluptuously “soaked”
Laughter, ringing curing gaggling embraceful “laughter”
Led, easy cantering quietly tiptoeing “led”
To, at toward piercing arrival “to”
A, it oneness ohmmmmm superidentifiable “a”
Kiss, wisp plenteous trumpeteer soul-caress “kiss”
------------------------------------------------------
This picture made me think of the chorus line of Eleanor Rigby:
“Ahhhh, look at all the lonely people”
--------------------------------------------------------
every one should have a “line”
let someone know that they are fine
just don’t wind up a total schmuck
insulting a hottie buttercup
only employ words from the heart
makes the difference how to start
cause if it’s only from the head
you’ll get the look “that line is dead”
--------------------------------------------------------
“come on over baby, a whole lotta shakin’ goin’ on” – Jerry Lee Lewis
“just let me be, your teddy bear” – Elvis
Tareq from NBC's Average Joe used the following on Melana:
"The simplicity of your complexity is the catalyst of my infatuation."
1) What is the worst thing you've ever said to your mother? Wild horses couldn't drag it out of me, I'll not repeat it! (don't you remember the soap in the mouth?)
2) If you could have avoided knowing about one thing during your life, what would it be, and why? Knowledge is power - I would like to know less about tragedies in this world if it would mean there are in fact fewer tragedies.
3) What is the strongest part of your marriage/partnership? Giving in to each other and being open and vulnerable to each other.
4) What would your heaven be like? As the old song says "Joy unspeakable and full of glory" - I like Revelations 7:16,17
"Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat upon them, nor any scorching heat. For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; he will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."
5) Show and Tell. What comes to mind first when you see this picture? Or, tell a story if it reminds you of one.
Expecting you'd be there
I went to the party
Just a kind word in mind to share
Not surprising to find you weren't there
Isn't it time you forgot, it's okay
Reminders of days past float through
Mind clears, your face appears
No card in the mailbox
No meet up in parking lot
Isn't it time you forgot, it's okay
The flowers once shared
Some with cool butterflies
Sunflowers and dreams cause we cared
Others amazing, we didn't say goodbyes
Isn't it time you forgot, it's okay
The phone isn't ringing
Not a text or email
No one comes to the driveway
To share the evening away
Isn't it time you forgot, it's okay
So finally prayers answered
In ways most restrained
Miracles do happen
Assume we've all gained
Isn't it time you forgot, it's okay

Long before Jesus told his parables to help us understand things, God the Father had told one of cosmic dimensions and as deep as the abyss: the parable of life…
The listener was immersed in this parable without any possibility of escape, for its “words” were made of things themselves and these could in no way be denied.
“Who can gainsay the sun?” asks the sundial indicating the passing hour.
When the sky speaks – above your head with its billions of stars; and the earth you tread speaks – the sensible basis of living experience: how can you escape logic which surrounds you?
How can you ignore the harmony and beauty of things, or disregard the energy and power of storms and earthquakes?
How can you escape the “absent presence” of a secret entity, the designer of a creative will and indisputable unity, of which you yourself are aware of being a part?
- Excerpted from Why, O Lord? by Carlo Carretto
Yesterday on the way home I ran by the grocer's. They had some lovely pork chops that looked great for the charcoal grill. Do you ever snag something and run home anticipating the meal? They turned out nice. I slathered them down with some bbq sauce, Bullseye to name the brand.
Yesterday evening somebody "up there" showed out.
thoughts in a muddle to express the inside --None this week so... Wait is on my mind :)
