Is It Possible?

By -

Waking from my slumber, I find myself thinking about experiencing this existence without the belief in God, The Infinite, The Source, or “It” and this thought today has thrown me into an emotional abyss. One man says that he is an agnostic because he would not be so ignorant or naive to believe that he a human has the brain capability to prove or disprove the existence of a higher power or God. He is a very persuasive man with words that encouraged my mind to go numb. I soaked up the discourse like a thirsty hiker, throwing down a cold pitcher of beer at the end of a long journey.

Why do I choose to believe in a higher power when I can not prove its existence? The answer is not important. What is important is how life is enriched by the belief in a higher power even if it is an enigma. I ask you, how many Mothers have prayed to a higher power and found comfort in their son or daughter coming home safe? How many soldiers have prayed to a higher power for safety and for forgiveness? How many times have I had a friend call to ask me to send “white light” to them? Is it possible that you are God, you created all and you just have a really bad memory? It can not be proven nor disproved can it now.

What you say is so true. I got sober almost twenty years ago by getting on my knees and asking my higher power to help me, for I could not help myself. And of course it worked. I don't care if people are skeptical, that their problem. My power lies in my inner spiritual experiences and no one can take that away from me.

The Peace Sign

Today I was driving in my jeep with the top down. Wearing my red bandanna and groovy sun glasses, I cruised flying high on an over pass. As I came down the ramp, I felt like I defined freedom. I wanted to throw my hands straight up in the air like I was on a ride at an amusement park, for safety sake, instead I let a primal scream soar up to the blue sky filled with billowing white clouds. The young man in the car behind me roared past me with his moon roof open. He must have felt it too, freedom. He stretched one hand high trough the open roof and gave me the peace sign. Ah, a kindred spirit I thought, smiling bright, I extended my left hand high waving "Peace" to my brother then I laughed uncontrollably. According to Wikipedia,the Peace sign or the "V" sign,or the “victory sign,” is a hand gesture with the index and middle fingers open and all others closed. It was used as a sign for victory during the Second World War by Winston Churchill, originally with palm in...

About a year ago I saw the movie trailer for Happy-go-lucky, a British film.... guess what, it was nominated last night for best screen play. If you can find it in the movie theaters, go see it. I promise you will laugh and come away lighter. Here is the link to the trailer: http://link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid1454928939/bctid1450952300

The Age of The Sensitive Man

Splashing in the deep end of the adult water fitness class, I couldn't help but notice a man sitting on the side of the pool holding his infant daughter. She was wearing a pink one piece swim suit and a white floppy hat. I doubted that she was even able to walk yet. Her cherub like legs hung down over the edge of the pool and her tiny toes barely touched the surface of the water. The contrast of the man in his prime with guns that rivaled Mr. Florida holding that tiny human was inspiring.   One of the men in my class introduced us to his grandson.   He’s a handsome young man around fifteen.   My British swim mate commented that he was dishy.    He was- dishy but, what was even better was the fact that a fifteen year old would partake in a water fitness class with his seventy-something Granddad.   As touching as the man with his baby girl sitting by the side of the pool, the grandson and grandfather partnering during water exercises was equally as pre...
