America The Beautiful

I believe that I am one of the fortunate people who just happened to be born in this great country, The United States of America. Because without really knowing what they were proposing our founding fathers were being guided by a spirit of love far greater than they could have imagined. Consider the fact that they really didn't believe "ALL" men were created equal since it didn't included those who didn't own land or property of any kind, it certainly didn't include women or anything else that was considered property including slaves. But those words which are inspired by a greater power than those of the brains of the founding fathers really did include everyone, men, women, children and if all had these rights then we couldn't own any other human being. The whole of humanity had these rights. And I might add along with these rights came the obligation to extend them with kindness to the animals, the environment and not just for profit but for the good of this planet.

Not only are we guided by this greater power for us but we must extend the opportunity to live these rights to all others, to be the example of love, kindness and the acceptance of the fact that we are all related somehow DNA related but even more than that, spiritually related. We didn't start out this way but we are being guided to this fact that The United States of America has to be a haven for what is right, just and good not only for us citizens but for the oppressed of the world.

The American way of life, liberty and justice for all must continue to grow until the full truth of this idea is realized and extended to all. Perhaps some day the whole earth will have this notion and there will truly be peace on earth. Until it is fully realized we must keep the spirit alive, this greater spirit who wants all men, all humans to be happy.

It's Better To Love and Leave when It's Over

Say what you will about loving and leaving it is far better to do that and have the memories than to just get up drag yourself through the day and go to bed unfulfilled.

The bottom of this blog lists a great song that says it all. AMEN!

Just One of Those Things

Cole Porter

It was just one of those things
Just one of those crazy flings
One of those bells that now and then rings
Just one of those things

It was just one of those nights
Just one of those fabulous flights
A trip to the moon on gossamer wings
Just one of those things

If we'd thought of it 'bout the end of it
When we started painting the town
We'd have been aware that our love affair
Was too hot not to cool down

So goodbye, dear, and Amen
Here's hoping we'll meet now and then
It was great fun
But it was just one of those things

Just one of those bells that now and then rings
Just one of those things
A trip to the moon on gossamer wings
Just one of those things
