When encountered with the question, "Do you believe in God", I pretty much knew that no answer that I gave would be acceptable.  For the believers, the very fact that I question such a thing would be a subtle slap in the face of what is true.  For the non-believers, the fact that I didn't dismiss such a thing was akin to a crutch to living and a short-cut to thinking.  For those in-between those bounds, well, perhaps I was thinking too much about all that and not living all this.

For the record, my answer is a steadfast, "Yes."  Symbolically, "God" is a higher power.  I believe in a higher power and am pretty sure it isn't us or I.

Last night, I had dreams of tornados...

This past weekend, I learned to think with emotions... rather than my brain.  The appropriate next step would be to think with my soul... but I'm not there quite yet.

I don't give a flying rat's beady ass what anybody says or projects, this weekend was an element I've been missing from my life for way too long.  I got to see blood, not the horror kind.  I got to see folks who were born unto this earth kind of like I was, and I missed them.  They are family.

While you won't find me smiling to show my shining cuspids to the stars, you will find something in any picture that is taken... which is very consistent.  You don't need to see the smile to understand that the soul is happy.

About those tornados, their winds grew great... the destruction was to date... and dreams are dreams until it becomes too late.

Poets die when questioning anything becomes taboo.  I like to question everything.  Just in case...

Color me taboo:)

Take me home...

Taboo was also a really heavy smelling perfume from the late 1970's.  I dated a girl who used to wear it and now anytime I am walking in a public place and walk past someone who is wearing it, I am taken back in time.   For whatever reason that scent and that person are forever one and the same in my mind.

Just saw this on Twitter... Hmmm, you finally got back from the family reunion and have mixed feelings about what you witnessed. you are so right, they are all your bloodline BUT you also have to remember that you are an individual. Check into the meaning of tornados (stormy weather) and you ill be surprised at the symbolism. Reading your post makes me want to start blogging again! I thank you for your refreshing honesty! Give your sweetie a hug!

Jason, people would think you were a nut...Peter Gabriel.  But, everyone thinks I am, too.  So, being visited by some of the faith of LDS today, I engaged them in conversation.  It was great and interesting.  They even offered to do lawn work for me.  Life in the faith business must be slow.  Me?  I have faith in today, tomorrow and forever.  But, I still do the lawn work myself.

Your smile was the star that lit the way through the entire weekend. All the way. And all the camaras simply put it on pause - but that's not the same as damping the flame. I'm a little hot right now and it has nothing to do with the 92 degree weather and the humidity to which I am unaccustomed - it's all about the flare that eminates from you.

There is something magical about connecting with your family. You, my beautiful boy, are the soulful piece of that puzzle. I was simply fortunate enough to be along to see the big picture :)

Sardi - I think Solsbury Hill is one of my top three all-time favorite songs, for what it's worth.

Mr and  Mrs Browning,

Reunions can cause nightmares, but dreams of tornado's and "a flying rat's beady ass?"

The only thing I definaly understood was: "you will find something in any picture that is taken... which is very consistent.  You don't need to see the smile to understand that the soul is happy."  Obviously Jennifer is in those photos, you are complete!

In high school we read Browning's from a text book with interruptions appended.

I.

Let's contend no more,

Love, Strive nor weep:

All be as before, Love,

---Only sleep!

II.

What so wild as words are?

I and thou In debate, as birds are, Hawk on bough!

III.

See the creature stalking

While we speak! Hush and hide the talking,

Cheek on cheek!

IV.

What so false as truth is,

False to thee?

Where the serpent's tooth is Shun the tree---

V.

Where the apple reddens Never pry---

Lest we lose our Edens, Eve and I.

VI.

Be a god and hold me

With a charm! Be a man and fold me With thine arm!

VII.

Teach me, only teach,

Love As I ought I will speak thy speech,

Love, Think thy thought---

VIII.

Meet, if thou require it,

Both demands, Laying flesh and spirit In thy hands.

IX.

That shall be to-morrow

Not to-night: I must bury sorrow Out of sight:

X

---Must a little weep, Love, (Foolish me!)

And so fall asleep, Love,

Loved by thee.

(Robert Browning)

Saerdi - a very Eisteinian view of the deity. But I know what you mean, there is something about being with family after being away from them for any lenght of time, even aunt Ethel the smells of lots of toilet water, and that creepy uncle victor who no one ever knows what he does, or to whom! Not the song I expected, but well chosen, grasshopper.

You make me smile!Life is a journey - and sometimes it's a skip, a lark, a song - and sometimes it's a difficult dragging, sluggish time!

Robert - I like the name of that perfume, though you won't catch me wearing it anytime soon... well, maybe on the weekend;)

Russell - Blog away, my friend.  Not much in the way of mixed feelings for me, just mix them all and wish we saw each other more regularly.  Strange thing, the day after that tornado dream... one hit here locally...

Suzanne - Great comment:)  And keep that faith.

MJ - I was honored to have you by my side.  We had one heck of a time.  I love you:)

Barbara - Why thank you, my dear:)

Alan - Smart alleck;)

Crouch - I did know that and I feel the same way.

Bill - What a wonderful addition, thank you kind Sir.  Your wisdom is always appreciated around these parts.

Patricia - In my opinion, one of the best songs of all-time.  I use it and listen to it quite often.

Saunders - Einstein and myself have a lot in common.  I get lost on my walks home quite often as well;)

Eleanor - True that.

Ginger - I don't mind them, actually.  To date, we still haven't had a class reunion.  Class of 1994, WHERE ARE YOU?

To me those family reunions were like walking through the house of mirrors and broken glass at the carnival.  Some of the images were good, some funny, some downright scary and some ... well, they needed to be dissolved in something ... strong. 

You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your family.  They are there.

Sardi, I am clueless what you are saying in this post. It must have gone right over my head. OK, I'll stay tuned for your next one. My short attention span wanted some video with the "video". Music is not enough other than just send me the MP3. Hope you survived the family reunion.
