Hey boink, did you hear that tree fall?
Or let me ask this, did you ever see anything more beautiful in your life than the outstretched wings of an eagle as it takes flight with the body of a ruddy salmon struggling in its steely talons?
Do the words of history bring images of anything other than death and despair to ones mind, if not, then maybe we should all try reading some other books that don't feed into the worse miseries of life, and actually believing them. Living is so much more beautiful than we seem to give it credit, sorrow is cheap my friend, it costs effort to find happiness, but when happiness is achieved it is truly priceless, and yes, all to often fleeting, so it is easier to dwell in sorrow that to strive for happiness daily, but no one likes a cheap-scape.
I am happy that the more impoverished people along the gulf may be able to earn some money cleaning up the mess, I am saddened for the environment, deeply saddened, but what has happen has happened, time to clean up now. Reality doesn't change the momentum of life, action does. Many people will be traveling to the gulf states to help in the clean-up, the economy will hopefully thrive off of the environmentally conscience "tourists" who will not only feed the hungry but will feed their own souls in partnering with the locals to clean up the shorelines (buying happiness merely costs a little self-servicing effort). Humans are, in general, good. I will always believe in the intrinsic goodness of mankind, we really just need to work on believing this about ourselves and our lives and living that reality and humanity can be so much more than it presently appears to be. Not to mention more reading and community involvement and less headline news watching.
Kum by ya my friend, kum by ya....... Yeah, I've been drinking again, what about it.....
at least my fingers aren't slurring yet..... I'm a goofy goober yeah, your a goofy goober yeah........ sing louder boys, life is good.
