death is meaningless
since we were born by God
in the beginning before time was
an idea and the measure of our value
in life is not what we held before leaving it
but in what we gave while living it

. . . my choice to eat my pain and rage for the recent loss of $1,000
091217 10:50
Anger has owned/possessed most of my life. Then it became rage against many people events, elements and factors including my parents, authority, et etcetera; including the Devil & God . . . and then myself for which I could, but refused to, be forgiven until quite recently; too late to do me much good for all the evil waste of my life and time; then & now.
I have just cause to reexamine my penchant and proclivity--other words to describe “choice”--to move in the direction of a world I wish to have life in, and one that makes love possible: to have meaning, value and being in.
My loses are, to me, enormous in costs. I am not alone in this experience since we all suffer. Example: The cost of health care raises daily yet the actual benefits diminish and people, men, women and children die . . .
“The bell tolls for” . . . me and thee--and the bell ringer.
Being curious I tend to consider the many paths I might take in my next statement.
And this, of course, drives others, especially those who seek answers from ‘fixed and immutable’ resources--let “Mikey” or “God”--take care of IT, or ME, or EVERYTHING! ‘Please we plead, implore and pray.’ Well I am conscious that I make some insane, yet others find peace in my being me.
Prayer is not a ritual activity for me. It is a process and dialog with a Personality fluid, not situational, a Being--not a thing. I love The Person of Jesus and in no small way enter Hell with Him and then am resurrected fully; what was before during and after creation by The Parent of us all. Yet I remain imperfect and grateful for being that; not bearing fully the weights that God does.

Happily, I’ve waited all day to readdress reread and edit the above. Many telephone calls received, none sent, affirmed my choice to eat my pain and rage for the recent loss of $1,000 through a camera broker who broke it off in my heart.
So what?
Well I’ll just add it to the $3 million and climbing, lost in the past thirty years. Factually/actually I rather like poverty which compared to the rest of the world is wealth. Add to that, I’ve never been happier, never cried harder and where I am now is the best ever . . . lies never suited me much and they are so hard to sustain. Better yet; I’m not for sale and my attention is precious.
