Too old to Sail and to Young to Die
When I first tried blog sites it was just a place to post published comments, commentary, cartoons, photos and letters etc. Having any kind of interaction did not seem important. However, I will miss the comments, especially those that challenged by thoughts, beliefs and research. Hope you all post your new sites as ther seems no rush to typepad.
I still remember a post by Patricia Volonakis Davis. I must have read and looked at that post 50 times. I got tired of trying to find it...so I made a copy and stored it on my e-mail account. Libertine writes about everyday subjects I can relate to. David Horton and jbuff at times seemed to be the opposite side of me and then not. Ken and Snowy were an enjoyable challenge in every way..being two sides of opposite worlds. Nor will I forget the back and forth with jbuff regarding the true and only important meaning of liberalism.
Rainman quote. "No matter who we are , what we do , where we live. We all have the same dreams, same fears, same faults, same beginning and we all have the same ending. Yet we all pretend we are different but we are all the same." Rainman - United Kingdom, April 8, 2010. I think about this quote often, when I am trying to make a serious point for what I believe to be my next great commentary or letter. This quote keeps my mind in check.
I have received e-mails regarding my neighborhood as to it did not fit any group. It was not planned...it just worked out that way.
A neighborhood where there was an Emmi and Kimber who made me feel humble at times. A Dancing Bear, Flamingo Dancer and Can Can Girl that could read The Rosemead Herald while talking to Dr. Linda. The neighborhood would not be complete without a Delusional Angel or a Madonna or two..
And, we could not have a King without Alfred the Ordinary. We all could use a history lesson from Kimberly about Heretics or anything else that comes to mind. Life is Good in my neighborhood.
This quote of mine is not as good as Rainman...but it seems to fit...at least temporary. I wrote it for a friend of mine whose mom had died and he wanted something to end his words at her funeral. What I wrote was longer and more personal. Boiled down was the quote that was left.
"Every ending is a new beginning. There is joy in both. You have to find it." Lightfoot 1996.
