The Walk - Part 1

You know about people. Duh? What about your own family. Or friends. How much do we overlook the very things we need. I have. And last night I reconnected to a member of my loved ones. We talked. I cried. They listened. They even tried to suggest some things. I just wanted to vent.

But today I tried something they suggested. I took a walk. And it felt really good. I had trouble sleeping, then at 5:40 AM I walked. And got hit by a sprinkler. I giggled and laugh with the sun still rising. Every Joe and Jane getting ready for work and I am giggling with the sprinkler. It felt good.

For years, I have been pretty sick. Both Mentally and Physically. They were linked yes, but they still were separate issues. And like Yin to Yang, one hurt the other. A spiral I couldn’t get out from under.

From the moment I hit adolescent, this combo worked on me. Through the end of my 20s and into my first year of 30.

Now the physical half has been treated. Mostly. Well, it’s a beginning. The point is that now I can turn to the mental and begin to take care of it. And walking past that sprinkler and getting wet was fun. Because for years that occurrence wasn’t even an option.

I have gone through moments where I felt top of the world. Moments where I needed time for myself. And then low moments that saturated most days. I will claim things are all better, and they are. But life is beautiful. And it’s a journey. We move one step at a time. We celebrate the improvements, and claim a king’s ransom for it. It’s a bounty to be claimed. Don’t be one of those characters that tries to beat the game with just the basic weapon. Like I do. At least that is what somebody tells me not to do. 

Good moments with the bad. I’ll take a walk tomorrow.

Don’t worry, I won’t seek out that sprinkler.

Where It All Goes

Listen to the dregs of eternity. Follow the misting wisp. Its curtain flows out into eternal space. Walking the line between the spiritual and physical. You will find God over all. Not just the ruler, but the provider too. All life is in His hands. All belongs to Him. All connections come from Him. Look no further with your eyes, but with faith. For in that faith is a resounding chime. A reverberation that is familiar. Your spirit trembles with a resounding beacon. For it was not long ago you were home. Vitality is within your prayers. We were all home once. A place where our spirit bodies were formed, and our intelligence skyrocketed. Yet we hit a limit. One that required a new estate to move on forward, forever more. The earth was formed in Seven days, according to the time of the Lord. Our plan, the plan given to us for a inheritance was forged. Born with with physical eyes. Some green. Some blue. Even some brown. Our hands and physical form is glorious. In the image of our Heaven...

Details to the Journey

This life has many, many details. Details that can break a iron grip. Firm grips lose focus when the tiny fireflies turn violent red or deadish black, purple. We can walk the road out of our kingdom. Just for a bit. Then return to find corruption layered all over the streets. Life once had assurances that wasted away at the right age. Mountains in the distance shimmers no glint. No haze. No snow. The sun becomes the doom that scorches the earth. Flexing muscles, forcing a grin, we enter the muck. Reaping tools to restore order. To make those beliefs not for naught. Bringing the broken seams together, but the line still remains. It is not what it used to be. Seams keep on ripping. We keep repairing. Eventually the length of the dang thing is too small to be worth the trouble. Wandering begins. Seeking a new place. A place of promise where we can adopt a new life. Something worth the time. Details are raw now. The wind becomes foreign. People smiles are suspect. Calling voices preaching ...

Code - What Do You See (Part 1)

Speaking Ones and Zeros Sweaty hands grips the controller. Mashing the ‘A’ and ‘B’ buttons to slash different attacks. The D-Pad is pressed left and then right. This kid is a natural. Well, a 20 something 90s child loyal to the bone to the very franchise he drooled upon as a kid. A 2D graphic tube TV turned 3D with 4k HDR resolution. Let’s not forget Ray Tracing making the reflection oozing with shivering vibrance. Shading now soft and variable. Pretty much every controller is the same now days. There are four main button, side “L” and “R”, Joysticks and a D-Pad. Every game franchise is different. Some have swords, sneaking around with capes or exploring open space. The variety of virtual space is infinite. Giving something to anyone who wants to create their reality of comfort and adventure. All that adventure, confined to a predetermine set of buttons. We feel, and we know games are thrilling. But all were doing is mashing the same buttons in different combinations. How many tim...
