Does Love from your heart, dissipate like chimney smoke? Or is it rock hard like granite, lasting for all of our eternities... Do you stop Loving someone that you once Loved or have lost? I think not, you store it and bring it out like a photo album. To view and at times even share but it is stored and never stops. Can you Love more than one person, or is your personality like that of a single railway track? Never diverting only going one direction and never to be shared, I think not. Love, is like the spokes of a bicycle wheel. Racing out to as many as one needs to move on and always centered back. To the Love from your heart...
To My American Cousins. "Happy 4th of July" http://www.youtube.com/v/MDkP2WaEYFE&hl=en_US&fs=1?rel=0 That American culture might evolve: In 1780 Massachusetts’s patriot John Adams wrote to his wife Abigail, outlining his vision of how American culture might evolve: "I must study politics and war," he prophesied, so "that our sons and daughters may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy." They will add to their studies geography, navigation, commerce and agriculture. He continued, so that their children may enjoy the "right to study painting, poetry & music"
10 Surprising Facts About the 4 of July! Everyone loves Independence Day, the quintessential American holiday, full of parades, picnics, and surprising facts? You bet! Be the life of the party share a few of these tasty nuggets of knowledge with your fellow picnickers this year. 1. Independence Day commemorates the formal adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. However, it was not declared a legal holiday until 1941. 2. The signing of the declaration was not completed until August 1776, the Fourth of July holiday has been accepted as the official anniversary of U.S. independence. 3. Uncle Sam was first popularized during the War of 1812, when the term appeared on supply containers. Believe it or not, the U. S. Congress didn't adopt him as a national symbol until 1961. 4. There are many precise rules for taking care of the American flag. And speaking of flag traditions, we're sorry to report that contrary to legend, historical research has failed to confirm that Betsy Ross sewed the first flag. 5. Not all members of the Continental Congress supported a formal Declaration of Independence, but those who did were passionate about it. One representative rode 80 miles by horseback to reach Philadelphia and break a tie vote in support of independence. 6. The first two versions of the Liberty Bell were defective and had to be melted down and recast. The third version rang every Fourth of July from 1778 to 1835, when, according to tradition, it cracked as it was being tolled for the death of Chief Justice John Marshall. 7. The American national anthem, the "Star-Spangled Banner" is set to the tune the English song ("To Anacreon in Heaven"). 8. The iron framework of the Statue of Liberty was devised by French engineer Alexandre-Gustave Eiffel, who also built the Eiffel Tower in Paris. 9. The patriotic poem "America the Beautiful" was published on July 4, 1895 by Wellesley College professor Katharine Lee Bates*. 10. Father of the country and architect of independence George Washington held his first public office at the tender age of 17. He continued in public service until his death in 1799.
I've heard there was a secret chord That David played, and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, do ya? It goes like this The fourth, the fifth The minor fall, and the major lift The baffled King composing Hallelujah. Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah...
Your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty and the moonlight, overthrew ya She tied you to her kitchen chair She broke your throne and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah. Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah...
Well, maybe there's a God above But all I've ever learned from love Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya It's not a cry, that you hear at night It's not someone who's "Seen The Light" It's a cold and it's a broken and Hallelujah... Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelu... Hallelujah Oh yeah you know Hallelujah Oh yeah.. Hallelujah Oh yeah you know Hallelujah... Hallelujah Hallelujah.
For you from, Sir Richard... P.S. Hallelujah is a Hebrew word meaning "Praise Yahweh!".
I believe that through our lives we are witnessed to many daily TV images of death and destruction. Also due to many forms of media that we interact with, which are mindless, senseless and not without their own horrors, we have evolved to being even more, "Desensitized".
Personally, I have spoken with many Parents and People who have permanently lost someone dear to them. Though I have never experienced that horror and may God grant that I never do. I noticed the other day that I have become sort of "Desensitized" to a personally uncomfortable point.
Desensitized so much that I do not flinch when I see it, or hear of it, or sadly I must admit, that I even now shed a tear. Some may say, if you can become desensitized it is better for you. Better in that you can handle it more and not go mad from despair or wrought with internal pain. But I believe that I have actually become cold and I do not like the new “desensitized me”, not one bit.
For if being desensitized means this lack of compassion, well then I am going to turn it around. From now on with every death and destructive event I will pause and re-attach with my inner self just as God intended us to be and without the influence of Evil’s lack of compassionate choice. If that brings out a tear or many in me then so be it, as I will now feel for each one of these horrors on their own. Rather than be cursed, by being “Desensitized”…
