A female presence always makes a difference

A female presence always makes a difference – whether physical, psychological, spiritual, in fantasy, photo, imagery, psychic, or other wise




I have been blessed to always have feminine presence in my life.

Sorry guys, it has taken all this life for me to assimilate ‘feminine’ . . .



Maybe next time around can be more devoted to masculine . . .
I know anyone and everyone with 'feeling' can understand

Foreshadowing (In Flashback)

July 1953


Just before my sixteenth birthday my family bought (and so owned) our first home in Albuquerque. Before that we were renters in someone else’ house.



During the move, which the family accomplished by ourselves, I over exerted something, and while we were celebrating at a July Fourth picnic in the nearby Sandia Mountains I got severe stomach pains.

The family rushed me into town and Mother phoned her private physician, also a friend, who met us at the hospital emergency room at Presbyterian Hospital.

After an exam, I was taken straight into surgery and the Doctor, (William Woolston), performed emergency exploratory surgery. It was scary for all of us.

Just before I was wheeled into the operating room Mother put her hand on my arm, and said to me, “I know God will bring you back safely to me.”

That is the only truly spiritual thing she ever said to me.



When I woke up in my hospital room, the doctor was there and he asked me if the pain was better. It wasn’t, but I did not want to go through that again so I nodded to him, ‘yes’.



I remember that while I was in the recovery room there was a boy slightly older than me in the next bed attended by his parents. They were trying to soothe him, and he was emotional and not thinking clearly. He said to his parents, “well, at least I am not There.” They asked him where he meant, and he replied, “you know ‘there’ – in hell.”



After a few days the pain was much better, and I was told by the doctor that he had repaired an umbilical hernia.



When the surgery was over my ‘belly button’ was gone.



Later, Cynthia told me that the first time she saw me nude she was convinced that I was ‘an angel.’

At that time I was flattered, but thought she was foolish. NOT SO!

It was me that was foolish – for many, many years after that.



As far back as I know, my psyche, mind, will and strength have revered female spirit.

Our whole world flinches when that quality in a man is misunderstood for any reason.



There is a universal paranoia about male intentions toward females.
. . . And, it seems to be for good and sufficient reason.


That has been, is, and will be – my 'cross to bear'.

. . So be it . . .

I pledge allegiance to the United States of America, and the Republic for which it stands One nation, under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all

My mind is not my own


By my own free will

I am thankful and obedient to

A Supreme Being, by choice



Freedom doesn’t just happen

Freedom must be chosen,

Something like love

ABOUT THE PREVIOUS POST

We tend to perceive others as perceiving life from inside a perspective exactly like ours


Is this stupid? Or What?



IT IS TWENTY TEN “for God’s sake!”

The most exquisite, sublime, profound moments are not revealed by flesh and blood, but by the holy spirit of our Heavenly Father

Mental image of maleme and female (woman) meeting and trysting each other in the world that is in my mind
For better or worse
'Til death does them part
Or one of them chooses "to turn around" psychologically
For good
Or evil

JOCULARITY IS A FRIENDLY FORM OF FAMILIARITY

Most people do not resonate to jocularity


I think, perhaps, because of psychological defense mechanisms related to paranoia



Anyhow,



I have my own gallery of images from this genre



I will post one for each comment that so requests



Don’t wait too long, though

I will be 92 in a little less than 20 years

THERE Is No Space For Incongruous In Aloha

BEcause in aloha there is a place for everyone
And YOU MUST BE IN YOUR PLACE
to be part of the spirit of aloha

How shall I say this. . ? (It is a form of cogito ergo sum, I think . . .)

There may be no single thing that has importance for everyone, personally




However, everything has importance, as a part of the whole, and so must be

Provided/supplied through a positive conduit, or everyone would be affected

I FIND IT INCREDIBLE

That we are able to see online photos of what happened in space millions of years ago.

BEGINNING WITH 2010

I feel that I am experiencing the end of life
For which the first was made . . .

to me it is beautiful

QUANDO ?

WHEN ANY PARTICULAR MAN THINKS THAT A PARTICULAR WOMAN IS NOT BEAUTIFUL




He is standing too close . . .

FIRST THINGS FIRST

The First Rule of civilized human society FOR ADULTS ONLY


Is, If You Are Just Showing Off – Don’t!

TROUBLE, as such, IS ALWAYS IN THE MIND'S EYE OF THE BEHOLDER - Try calling it 'opportunity' and voila! !

Trouble, trouble, toil, and trouble – start with “T” and that rhymes with “P”


AND THAT STANDS FOR POOL! - Swimming

His life was a miracle
