The Ride

Good Mornin'

Well, one sweet, mild mornin' and, 'cordin' to the weatherman, rain on tap and cooler air.

Didn't make it too far, yesterday; reckin' I'm still assimilatin'. Takin' in changes, considerin' all the factors and options, lookin' for the "lovin' math".

I remember a good friend a mine talkin' about flyin', where he travels a lot. He talked about some inter-continental flights, where you get up so high, "there's no scenery to take in", so, ya just keep goin' and keep goin'. And, I remember remarkin', when he said that, a sense of "Life" talkin' to me, again; that there are times, when there's not too much to do, 'cept trust, and wait and watch and remember, that life is "afoot". And, like a plane, or a river, it can carry us to a place where we can see and then, the doin' is plain.

I guess trustin' is the really important part; imagin' the "stress" that would build upon a cannon ball, clingin' to the sides of the cannon, once fired, screamin', "wait, wait, I don't know where we're goin'!". Mr. Gibran, in "The Prophet", speakin' of parents and children, referred to them as bows and arrows in the hand of Creator; "don't worry, so God loves the arrow in flight, so he loves the bow that is strong".

Anyway, I do love that sense of travel and, maybe, by association, the notion of evolution; what little I know about the Christian scriptures, my favorite stories are the ones that reflect God himself (herself?) learnin'! Really, there are parts where he kinda gets into debates with some a the humans about the best course of action, or reconsiders some reaction and figures he mighta been "hasty"; like the flood and his rainbow.

Anyway, I do believe there is "journey" afoot and trust, a "tea" that sweet and strong; the hand that packed the cannon, that drew the bow, is genius and kind, older and wiser, now. No need to fear, but, like a child, trust; "what a ride, so much to see; and yes, my bag WAS packed, with love, and all I would need for the trip and whatever the "doin'", once arrived at my "stop".

Have a great day!

Best,
