How About Some Hot. Buttered Peace and Joy?
In honor of the Oscar nominations coming out this week (I think) I’ve decided that then next. Three entries will include a liberal sprinkling. Of lines from some of my favorite movies. Not all of these will be from. OSCAR. Winners because. I don’t know that much movie.Trivia. I don’t know if it would be Sophie’s Choice to read these entries, but I’m pretty sure they would land somewhere near the bottom. Of.Schindler’s list of things to read this week. All that I can say is that like always I’ll try to avoid trite. Terms of endearment and stick to the truth even if you can’t handle the truth. I hope you will enjoy and learn from the same posts and it doesn’t just feel like consuming them is rearranging. Deck chairs on the Titanic where the captain. I believe yelled out to the first mate “find me a life boat and tell all the passengers that our. Cruise is offering free ice this evening.” Okay that’s a little over the top. Anyway there will be some serious thoughts in these posts and I hope a lot of grins and moans. Come along on our trip and I hope. Enough of you do so that. We’re gonna need a bigger boat.
Well as some of you know by my facebook post I live in a fairly scenic spot and a river runs through it. We got a lot of Rain Man and for the first. Time since we have lived here the water left the banks on our side. For about. Two solid days Raindrops keep fallin’ on our heads and then it stops so the water is deep enough to jump into if the law is chasing. You and don’t worry if you jump from the bridge and you can’t swim the fall will probably kill you. Okay let’s row over to the shore and reset a second to get into topic one.
Watching. The river. Reminds me that life and nature have a flow and that. I can fear it, or. I can marvelcontrol it at least not all the time and maybe not much of the time. The water level reminds me that. Change can come quickly or slowly and either way it can be powerful. Like this river that has been here for thousands of years, change has always been with us and like like this river sometimes change fundamentally alters the world, and sometimes it just shows us that we can accept our role in building aa living landscape that accepts the likelihood of change. So I’m glad my humble abod is probably 60 feet away from the water and several feet higher so there’s.little chance of. Running into. Captain Nemo or even Finding Nemo in my yard. We do have. A huge post lodged against the docks in. Front of us and it remains to see what happens with that. I’m going to call someone to.let them know. If it’s still there come morning.because. I’m not Ishmael and Idon’t need to risk my hide trying to. Free Willie.
Anyway things have a flow and change and always will which is why setting a particular goal that is to happen at a particular time and in a particular place and hoping that it will remain a permanent treasure in your search for peace and joy is not necessarily going to work out. Like Lt. Dan investing in some fruit company.
Well if the weather. Reports are correct things will improve life will be like a box of chocolates again and there will be no need to tell anyone in Lansing, Madison, New York New York. Or Houston we have a problem.
No matter what happens it’s. Mid January and. Spring training is just. A few weeks away so no matter how wicked. The weather. Gets there will be no crying because there’s no crying in baseball—season. I am looking forward to spring so. I can spend my time differently and a little more of it. Is just a bit outside.
Tomorrow —when the sun will come out—I’ll provide some thoughts about turning memories into magic powers for the present because like Harry you’re a wizzard and the force is worth you... but that’s enough sugar for today and a spoonful will nearly always help the medicine. Go down.
And in the immortal words of. Porky... at least for today... That’s all folks
