What kind of car would I be? Well, here is one answer:
You've got it all. Power, passion, precision, and style. You're sensuous, exotic, and temperamental. Sure, you're expensive and high-maintenance, but you're worth it.

From my Heart to you All...
Peace...
And my Love....
I always try to appreciate each and every day I am alive. Consciously.
I always look to see something Beautiful and Wondrous in the World each day. Something Positive. Something that soothes my Soul, be it a ray of sunshine on a sunny afternoon being enjoyed by a snoozing feline, a happy smile on a child, a courteous gesture from a stranger, or even just a rainy afternoon. Some small thing that lifts us, maybe gives us hope or brings Life meaning... and I am never disappointed.
Always grateful.
If you don't know what I am talking about and think it nonsense... or if you can't find it, it is not because it is not there, but rather that you are being blinded by distractions... you are missing the Point.
This story has been around for a couple weeks now and we are still waiting for some sort of closure, which I am beginning to doubt will be very satisfactory. That the NYC police can allow such a "run-a-round" to take place and to tacitly say that "finders keepers" applies is dumbfounding and more than a bit disturbing. It is further disturbing that the people who help lower the quality of being Human to "barely above a shit-slinging chimp" are now going to potentially try to sue the guy who tried to bring some semblance to justice to this story.

How not to Steal a Sidekick or "how much of a moron can we be"
I spent several years of my youth involved with 4-H and I still think their credo is one to live by...
The 4-H Pledge
"I pledge my Head to clearer thinking,
my Heart to greater loyalty,
my Hands to larger service,
and my Health to better living
. . . for my Club, my community, my country and my world."
Sadly, I don't think a lot of people pay attention to the First part.... the world could seriously use some "clearer thinking" these days.
I am here.
And my soul is soothed..
By the earth and sky and sea.
By the souls that surround me.
And the grey skies that blanket me.
I feel the heart of us all.
And my soul reaches...
Stretches...
Encompasses and touches.
All.
I am
And was meant to Be.
I am here.
Goodbye (deep racking sob) my Beautiful Darcie Marie, you will be in My Heart forever....
I came across these words in someone's profile in "Second Life" and they touched me...
DESTINY...
Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.
How true....
Yes, I was.
Unsuspecting that a trip to a nearby Gallery (on Sunday October 23rd) would take my breath away.
I wasn't expecting that. Sure, I have been to Art Galleries and Art Shows before. In fact, I have been to most of the well known and famous galleries in NYC and the surrounding area. So when I had a chance to go see the Barnes Foundation Gallery I thought, "Great! I look forward to seeing some beautiful artwork again! It has been a while." I just wasn't expecting the impact that that particular Gallery would have on me.
It was AWESOME. Humbling. Breathtaking. To be in the presence of such Master painters... Wow. This was GREAT, no, Exquisite Art. Just Wow. And not just one or two Picasos or a Matisse and two Renoirs. No. How about 50 Renoirs? And 30 Picasos and as many Cezanne? And almost as many Rousseau, Monet, Matisse and Rubens and the list goes on. It was all so Beautiful!
And I think that one of the things that made it so impressive was how it was displayed. Dr. Barnes was correct in having his collection displayed exactly as he wanted it to be in his own home. Brilliant.
I have always tried to BE a "Good" person. Indeed, I have always strived to be the "best" person one could be.
Seriously.
In that pursuit I have constantly searched for the wisdom to "do the right thing" in everything I do, all things considered. And I mean ALL things and not just those personal conundrums found in everyone's day to day life complexities. It may be my most important task.
Thank You God, Goddess, Creator of All, Is that IS, Essence of Us All...
Thank you for all that you have given me of Life.
Thank you for having any Life at all.
Thank you for all that I have seen, done, met, shared, experienced.
Thank you for the beings that surround me, that I love.
Thank you for this Day.
Thank You.
