I just wanted to wish everyone a happy 4th of July. I don't know what everyone is doing but I have caving in a few hours and the mountains tomorrow if I can find that darn camera. With or without the camera I am going, I just wanted to share.
I am feeling kinda bad because I should be sleeping, but like I told a friend, I can do this with my eyes closed. All they need me for is to get them to the Zeus pools. A long and skinny shimmy for about a hundred yards to get to a dead end. The kind of fun only a mole finds fun, I love it. However, I love to see how others handle it because it is not an easy trip.
Just have some fun and leave me to my own. I hope to have some pictures to you all soon.
A busy week kept me away but life is nowhere cute today. Even on my days off and vacation, it started out as a nightmare. The best I could hope for was to relax, but that isn't going to happen.
It all started with Storm, she got sprayed by a skunk and then ripped the bastard apart for unknown reasons (I know, but that is different story.) I also know she did it because it needed to be done.
I got the call to help with the girl, that was never a problem for me. Okay, before I go any further, I want you to see Storm, in the middle of the bath.
Now to get this shot I had to keep pushing Stormy away and telling her to lie down. All she wanted to do is get close, but little Miss Skunk-girl was nothing I wanted to be near. I rubbed on her and played with her most of the morning, with gloves on. I had another that wanted to play and be with me. It was hard with one hand in a glove for my baby and the other hand for Misty.
It got even harder when Shari and I started the treatments. It was a (Good cop, bad cop) scenario. I loved her up while Shari drenched her in skunk sauce. Stormy got mad and loved me up to a stinky point. Storm was better the next day but she was still mad. She did however love the toys I got for the both of them.
This is so "Generation Lost" but I don't think anyone reads that and when I want to share it is for a reason. I only have so much time to resolve yesterday's sorrows. I never meant to pass on this facet of life to my son but he got it anyway. Our inheritance, sorrow and fore longing, or prolonging. Never seems to change when your heart longs for the love it gives.
Did you actually think that you had the corner market on love and acceptance? So did God! Rain, for forty days and nights and then try and find a grateful human; all you will find is greed in mankind. Fire and brimstone only warms a cold heart, it never thaws a cold past.
Over twenty years, Zac and I are more the same person than he wants to admit. He is starting to see we are not so different in all our actions. I see and hear him asking more about real things. I see him wanting to be back in life, yet I think he wants to see me do the same. I am "Bell Bottom Blues", wonder the "What ifs?" He is the shadow (Goth pants),and still the "what ifs?"
I don't want to leave him without him knowing how much I love this family, I never wanted to walk away. Zac is not just my son, he his hope. Zac is the next generation of "givers" not takers. Lily is future hope, but only with his love. I don't know how to tell him that.
I love our times together, however seldom, for they are drawing to an end.
You have to love the sunrise, for tomorrow is not promised, so we must live for today. Amen!
Most people think of the big bad wolf but they are wrong in their beliefs. Limpy was a mild wolf and yet murdered the day the law was enacted. Limpy had a limp and never crossed the lines, except one day, Limpy stepped outside of man's boarders. Limpy was murdered for being a wolf. Limpy was never a bad wolf, just lonely, but that didn't last long.
Today in Wyoming, they are deciding the fate of the the wolves that they reintroduced into their natural environment. A court case is pending and the hunters are chomping at the bite.
Wyoming is willing to kill 25 wolves, in hunting grounds, and untold numbers in an other area. Just like Limpy, so many will die for no reason.
The wolf has been instrumental in protecting the ecosystem. I can only wish that humankind could be so justifying. Limpy and so many others have died for no reason. Does mankind need another reason to kill?
My son commented on the same issue. The government said that the wolf population could be reduced by 35% and survive, we feel they same way about the human population!
I guess I am to passionate about what is real to think about anything else, a passion my son and I share.
The best and the worst of life came together in one place and one person held it in their hands. They never closed in on their grip, yet prayed the will of God, never knowing if God was even involved.
The angel feel in sleep, to the seventh level of Hell. The angels wings fanned as the sword raised up to regain God's place. The space that was lost was on this angel's watch, that was not acceptable to an angel. Dreer forced the sword of Truth into the future heart of past days. Now, again tomorrow becomes uncertain while truth remains silent, yet hopeful.
Wonder no longer holds our hand, faith is our guide and our friend as we seek the last step in humanity.
