Wow! Very insightful. How interesting it is to note that some of the most biased (or prejudiced) individuals I have encountered in my profession have been the self-same demographics you've mentioned. I would interject that fear-based reactionism does seek to categorize others different from one's self-perception as somehow 'lesser than' for whatever justifiable set of parameters each culture and/or sub-culture determines to be viable.
Isn't it great to know that God sees us as His children! Each color and size are the strings of His instrument... we dance by His grace in this orchestra of life and I believe He loves us all the same.
Maybe the fragility of the mouse reminded you how vulnerable we can all be in certain circumstances and how this can lead us to be dependent on others as the mouse's survival was dependent on you and your fellow soldiers resisting the impulse to set him alight.
I too received your letter today Daniel, and I can assure you that reading your words has the same profound effect on me that you describe here. There is something very special about hearing the words of someone who has been physically excluded from the world as I know it. Your voice is precious and I'm thankful for this medium that can rebuild lost connections.
Hi Brandon, it's c.c., it is good to see your words out here too. I sure hope that you will keep breathing and knowing that you are part of us all here, and you remind us that we have to keep you as our brother and friend, safe and loved. I hope you will be well. Take good care of your precious self, and thank you for being you. Your friend :-)
Thanks for writing this fascinating piece. I finished the transcription for your post and really enjoyed doing it. It has given me a lot of food for thought.
Hola Luis, soy yo Irises. Muy bonito tu blog, tus fotos, art y poemas. Te felisito. Gracias por la direcion que me enviaste junto con tu foto de un arbol. I will need to more on another day to comment more in depth. For now I want to say hi, and to thank you sincerely for sharing your beautiful soul with us all. You are desearing to be FREE, and so many others. My prayers will always be with you, dear brother and friend. Irises
Glad to see you're 'Trending' hopefully North East as the profit charts go! Mindfulness of the week, the dude abides... (I also love ellipses. I may overuse them, but oh well)
The original Muppet Movie is on Netflix now, so I watched it last night on my iPhone. It was awesome because when my eyes got tired and I had to close them, I knew what was on the screen anyway! Good ol days, man.
Regarding global warming, it's funny, but it's definitely real. The main question is how much impact does man really have vs. how much of this is just part of the Earth's natural cycle. One volcano explosion does as much damage as all the world's cars' pollution do in an entire year... (ellipses) I think it's exciting to observe the changes, ponder their impact, and approach the situation with mindfulness.
Hey, did you get a chance to see the Lord of the Rings movies? The Hobbit was really good, too. We can do a marathon when you get out!
Otherwise, just working on Advertising Sherpa and working at Nike. Ryker's going competition soccer, Tanner is in scouts with me, and Carter is lead singer in his band with a couple gigs here and there around town. He plays guitar and uke, too. Starting to produce a few songs. Kemmer is super cute and loves to swim, do crafts, etc. Loves the parakeets. Peggy still struggling with unknown diseases plaguing her body. Endocrinologist thinks it's a parathyroid issue. We'll see.
Well, Mon, stay gospel tough! Talk about real time social news and life hacks! Modern day revelation, Pres Monson style!
