Oh Yes! You are most welcome to come anytime ! I am always delighted to have company at my door ! No. That does not mean there is an interest in your wares. No. I am not a "Witness" I do seem to shift between "Observer" and that which is observed. But...I am always The Observer. Okay. Perfect peace. You're always welcome. Oh yes! You are most welcome to call anytime. I am always pleased to talk to strangers on the phone and pretend to be interested. No. I have no credit card. Never have. Never will. No. I do not have a checking account. Yes. You are speaking to the adult of the house. Why are you getting nasty? Okay. Perfect peace. You're always welcome. Is it hard to understand? Is it really that odd? I am not a member. Never have been and never will be. You will not find me at the meetings. I don't take part in the decisions. No. I am not Cathestant or Protilic. I am on neither side of that one coin. Nor the coin of Democan or Republicrat. No. I am not concerned with current affairs. Nor the Crisis of the Month. I do recollect all that Y2K nonsense. That prior night... I went out with a tin can and a flashlight. That day... I was on the river bank. While folks were fretting and debating... I was baited up and waiting... For a delicious bass to give my line a yank. That evening... I turned on the T.V. and watched the news. I saw Elijah, with a suitcase, at a hotel in Jerusalem. He had flown in for the Coming of the Lord. Then I went to bed. Said goodnight Slept tight. I didn't let the Millennium Bug bite. But if it had... It would have been just fine. If the computers all shut down. If Wall Street crashes to the ground. I bet that bass will still tug on the line. To each his own. I will not interfere with you and yours. It's not a matter of "right" or "wrong". You be you and I will be me. You are free to come and free to call. But...You have nothing I need. Perhaps you find me strange. I find you to be delightful. I find no fault in you or in anyone. Live and let live. I sincerely hope that you are happy. There is not a single thing that I lack. Perhaps my clothes are a bit worn. The fabric wearing thin. Nothing a patch cant cure. But...If my behind shows while bending over and by chance I should moon the Illuminati... So much the better. Perfect peace. You're always welcome. |

You've touched on an entire subject that continues to boggle my mind... but it's best saved for a book...not that I will write it, but someone should. Now I want to go fishing... Which reminds me of Iambe... and well....another book.  By the way? This was a darn good read."too bad ignorance isn't painful" |

I love the idea of a perfect peace and keep wishing for it in this lifetime. Nicely done! |
