Fire Flies and 7 Seconds

What do Fire Flies and seven seconds have in common you ask? Well, on average they light up every seven seconds. How do I know that you ask? I did not "google" it; I counted!!! Maybe I'm losing my mind. I do love nature. I watched Michael Jackson's This is It the other night and fell in love again. I always knew we lost a great humanitarian, and one who loves nature also. I wanted to go looking for all my MJ Cd's. Where did they all go any way. Me and MJ spent many hours together. Happy, sad, tragic, drunken with alcohol and drunk with spirituality. I didn't realize how I missed him. Did I ever tell you that I think I saw him right here in Brick Pathmark? I still think it was him. For whatever reason, I've always felt he was going to "be at my door" one day!!! It came to my the other night- I will see him again- he will be "at my door" one day. My Heavenly door. God's ways are not our ways, God's time is not our time, or place, or ...... If he never does come "to my door", I've still gained a beautiful insight.

Split Personalities

I just don't understand all of myself all of the time. This morning I felt so creative. I read another's blog (Pleated ....) Wow, can't remember!!! I was so inspired to work on the "blog". Somehow I made a new blog, I think. Ha Ha. But when I returned to this old blog- I have a "link" or something , don't know how that happened and read one of my posts that I actually forgot I posted and still loved it!!!! HA HA HA HA. Oh well, if any one following, please give advise on how to do this thing!!!! Can I really make $$$ with a blog? Have like a store? Oh the things we learn when we LEARN2LISTEN.

Empathy

Not to be morose. It's when your child, no matter the age, experiences heartbreak that you recall your own past heartbreaks and you can empathize. You know how she feels. You let her know, even if by texting. Then the words are there forever in some cyber-place even when deleted. Then, as if by magic, something natural, like a long awaited flower blooming- does bloom. It welcomes you as if to say- it's going to be alright. My gardenia bloomed on Easter morning while I was working. I brought it to work to keep out of harms way. And it said with it's bloom- everything is going to be alright. And so it is with her- and her amarylis. Like rebirth. Like the Beatitudes- Blessed are those who are poor in spirit, for they shall inherit God's Kingdom. Thank you Lord Jesus, for gardenias, for amarylis, for being poor in spirit!

Unrequited Love

iGoogleCan I simply say that any time we put man before God that there will be unrequited love? The alpha and the omega. The one truth. The only thing/one to be trusted. The Bridegroom. It is shown over and over and over and over again. It is not an over simplification. How do I intill the truth to others? Especially when I am not even completely there? Thank you Lord Jesus for being my Bridegroom.

Cat's Fur

Cats fur for kitten britches, to make little girls like you ask questions. That was one of my father's famous sayings when he didn't want to answer my questions. Or when he and mom were having adult conversation. I would just sit and wonder what that meant. I don't think I realized until I was well into my 40's. Then again my kindergarten teacher did call me naive. Another one of my dad's sayings was " I'm brown from the sun". It is funny how you miss someone who has died. Let's see, he died in 1999, so I was how old? 46 years old. As old as I was, I still think that I wished I were old enough when he died to have an adult conversation. How strange.
