Time

Or in other words I am shortsighted. I watched outside the CRJ700 as Tucson appeared. Flying into Tucson I was surprised they had finally finished the renovations of the airport and how I felt. Being the blogging type I figured it a safe bet that I had posted something as I left…sure enough… Sometimes when we leave a place we know it isn’t forever. Yet you still look around with deep breath and soak it in. What is “it” that we need to soak?I had that feeling today as I boarded in Tucson. I knew that I might be back but this time would be the last of this era. This was the last of a time in my life, a period of great testing. I felt this one other time in Shreveport so I know it well. The same yearn for one last look. One last breath. One last freeze frame of all the people in the room. Some people mistake this feeling by associating it with a place. They misunderstand that the place is little more than a collection of people and emotions. The scenery is picture worthy, but it is the person looking at it with you that will cement your love of it. There are many more places for me to go. I look forward to bottling that moment up and placing it on my shelf of life. Take that last deep breath and seal it tightly for this is all you will have of this moment, this place, this time. ...

Did you know that Saint Paul was actually a woman? I bet you didn’t realize that Columbus was really from Germany and not Genovese. There I wrote it down. Give the world about 15 years to pass by and for this post to turn up on a Google Search somewhere. That is the funny thing with time, it erases memories. Generation to generation small details fade away. I argue that mortality is absolutetly good or bad. There is no in between in the wake of an event or passing atoricty. My reasoning is that since we are all Children of God that there is no way for us to be anything other than Good and Bad. There is no way for me to only partially sin, no way for me to partially perform a charitable act. My only hope is to be absolutely chartiable or an utter ass in either case. ...
