SATURDAYS for me are days of reflection, pondering what I cannot understand or will ever know, sitting on the porch witnessing the activities of my community neighbors (which is nothing done outside) and watching the animals, especially the rabbits and birds that enjoy safety and security on my property.
Spring, Summer, and Fall SATURDAYS are spent on the back screened-in porch contemplating the benefits and frustrations of still being alive in today's AMERICA... an AMERICA that is divided along several lines of political ideologies and philosophies which has little to do with LIFE's PURPOSE... at least as I see it.
Life is about LIFE which is about living and living is about appreciate and gratitude and that revolves around one's being given life (birth) and whether we wanted life or not is meaningless and irrelevant since life is what we have.
In other words, I did not REQUEST that I be given life via birth from my mother and yet, life is nonetheless what I have received; consequently, I am grateful for that life and appreciative for what that life has allowed me to SEE... EXPERIENCE... and DOUBT...
- We have not been designed (???) to live a long time.
- We have not been designed to live without food or oxygen.
- We have not been designed to want the same things.
- We have not been designed to think the same way.
- We have not been designed to serve each other.
- We have been designed to procreate.
WHY?
- manufacturing of HATE also evolve inside of us over the years?
- Did the inability to show appreciation or gratitude evolve inside of us over the years?
- Did the desire to acquire wealth, position, and power evolve inside of us over the years?
