Young thoughts about old people
When I was a young boy I used to wonder about old people and what their purpose was…Other people had to resolve issues that I did not have…The litany of faults goes on and on for these people, it covers the gamut of skin color to belief systems…We need their memories of how things were done in their day, and the days of their parents. Some things in their lives that they dealt with daily would be major problems in our pampered lifestyle of today.

Our economy is in the gutter and so are our neighbor’s pets

Letting the light out from under the chair
Don Juan knew what Carlos did not, and Carlos at that point and time could not make the leap from what he knew to be true and logical to Don Juan’s paradigm where the possibility did not exist…and perhaps Jesus although in the case of Jesus, his explanation of how the world really works was not, and still is not warmly received - even by very devout Christians…

Church celebration and a three year olds wisdom
While it is all good and wonderful that they were having such wonderful things happening in their lives, I thought the news could have been saved for a different time. For some of the people attending the event, I am sure the only vacations they have ever enjoyed were the summer break of their school years when they were too young to work.
