Just in Time

2019-06-10T09:27:00.001-07:00

Yesterday evening, I was driving to the gym. I was a really nice, sunny day, and there was a lot of traffic on Murray Blvd. As I stopped at a red light, out of no where, appeared a single butterfly. It was yellow. It touched the outside of my driver side front window. It only stayed for a few seconds, but long enough to think that its presence meant something as it was so random.

So when I got home, I had to google it, and this is what I found:

To some Native American tribes, the yellow butterfly brings guidance and is a sign of hope.
A flying yellow butterfly also symbolizes a sunny and bright summer is ahead.
A yellow butterfly represents joy and creativity. It reminds us to have fun. A yellow butterfly flying around you brings happiness and prosperity. Seeing one also means that something fun and exciting is on its way.

I'm looking forward to something (namely someone) fun and exciting on its way!

Thanks

Thanks for the punishment.

The tower that symbolized the sin of human arrogance rose in Babylon, the cursed city known in the Bible as “harlot and mother of all harlots.”

Heavens wrath did not delay: God condemned Babylonians to speak in many tongues so no one would ever understand them, and the tower was left half-finished for all time.

According to the ancient Hebrews, the flowering of human languages was divine punishment.

Perhaps, but in His desire to rebuke, God saved us from the boredom of a single tongue.
-Eduardo Galeano

Gigantická mechanická hlava France Kafky od Davida Černého umístěna na národní třídě za obchodním centrem Quadrio. Mechanická hlava měří 11 metrů a investor údajně zaplatil 30 mil. korun.
Mechanical gigantic head of Franz Kafka located near National street in Prague. Shopping centre Quadrio.

I can not wait to go to see this in person, along with seeing the Kafka Museum, in Prague. One day...!

Franz Kafka is one of my favorite novelists.

"Another flaw in the human character is that everybody wants to build and nobody wants to do maintenance." --Kurt Vonnegut

Working hard to be the best at what you do is only half the battle. The harder part is keeping it up, and maintaining it --alexgeorge

Are you doing any maintaining?

Learning from the Dead

2019-05-01T01:21:00.000-07:00

His arms were
where he left them.
Not in defense of self,
but
Doing what he loved
while dying.

Doing.
The right hand gripping a big stainless steel spoon
Stirring a pot of collard greens
The air filled with the aroma of smoked ham hocks spaghetti sauce turkey and dressing sweet potato pies hot and fresh out the oven
His daughter, granddaughter, and me, his grandson,
Our mouths having been watered
Since before we even made the 65 mile trek to his Chicago home .
I’ve learned from the dead.
From him now.
In the presence of suits form-fitting black dresses matching wide-brimmed black hats white handkerchiefs and tears
I remember a homeless woman with two little children in tow
Making herself known
Speaking kindly of him
In his coffin
She (and her kids)
having been fed
anytime they were hungry.
By him;
I learned more about him dead
-

Wanting to be like him-

Alive.

A Union

2019-04-29T22:52:00.000-07:00

Life was alone, no name, no memory. It had hands, but no one to

touch. It had a tongue, but no one to talk to. Life was one, and one was

none.

Then desire drew his bow. The arrow of desire split life down the

middle, and life was two.

When they caught sight of each other, they laughed. When they touched each other,

they laughed again.

- Eduardo Galeano

loving u is like a revolution

2019-04-23T22:01:00.000-07:00

(within me

) a change

i can feel

but i can’t see

a movement

a revival of sorts;

slowly bringing back to life something I thought was dead

or unused for so long that it had closed up

loving you is like a revolution

a spinning around in my head

a new heart

to replace the old one that had hardened

from prolonged exposure to the cold, lies, bullshit, and the lack of appreciation.

and suddenly I’m loving what I used to hate

and hating what I used to love

I don’t care that I’m wearing clothes I don’t like, obviously,

or spending hours with you at the mall

or going to your church

because I’m with you and loving you.

what am I doing,

and who is this person that made this new change?

this is not like me;

what is happening?

I know what it is….

I’m being loved and cherished and appreciated and respected in return!

On Doing You

2019-04-23T21:28:00.000-07:00

If there are people in your life that continually disappoint you, break promises, stomp on your dreams, are too judgmental, have different values, and don't have a shoulder to cry on during difficult times...that is not a friend.
To have a friend, be a friend. Sometimes in life as you grow, your friends will either grow or go.
Surround yourself with people who reflect your values, goals, interests and lifestyle.
When I think of any of my successes, I am thankful to God from whom all blessings flow, and to my family and friends that enrich my life.
Over the years my address book has changed because I changed for the better.
At first you think that you are going to be alone, but after a while new people show up in your life that make your life so much sweeter and easier to endure.
Remember the expression, "Birds of a feather flock together."
If you're an eagle, don't hang around chickens:
Chickens Can't Fly!
