There is still hopefully = if time is not past = for people to become part of a new set apart body/community/ assembly. Not easy to find, cannot be paid to join, and the only way to be free from the death dealing society of the world.It would be simpler if we were more like an island, but unfortunately or not we are very social creatures. Other peoples influence on us is inevitable, and we will be swayed this way and that. I try to hang on to the rudder.![]()
This is actually "Biblical" and more true than ninety percent or more realize..... earth is insane asylum for the universe....
I love your comment about wit. Very apt for many of us.I know I'm a newbie here on this forum. I'm not interested in drama or pity.
I've been dealt a difficult hand of late. My brother hung himself last December. My bipolar wife is currently staying in a mental ward. I have schizophrenia and in her mania she threw out my medication. I'm overdue for my needle. My daughters have an eating disorder.
The Big Guy is really testing me these days.
I know I've been a bit manic myself of late with my jokes and music on this forum. I'll settle down eventually.
You've all been patient and supportive and I won't forget that.
I wrote down this quote when I was fluidly psychotic...
"You are the most witty when you are at your wit's end."
Certainly the case for me these days.
No pity posts please. No more drama. Just keep on being the cool forum that I find this place to be.![]()
There is great power in this. I salute you for planting beautiful flowers in a fractured world.I tell my sons to "just make your own little corner of the world the best that you can." I know that most people out there don't care what I think or what I do but try to be a beacon of calm in my little circle of family and friends. Start Local!
As Chico Marx once said: "There Ain't No Sanity Clause". He and Groucho were discussing a contract, but they could have been talking about life in general.Continue to be that island of sanity.
You either define the moment, or the moment defines you.
