Well.... it is two days after the tif with sis. And one day after checking into some facts and solutions. I have not yet discussed this all w/Karen... Yesterday I was saying that I will just throw the money away, in my mind. Today I have a different idea which is to not exactly throw it away. I would have ms. debbie purchase the tik and when she arrives I will give her the money but if she doesn't arrive - the tiks and their costs are hers to deal with (and she can retain most of the value while it is not possible for me to get the value since I believe the tiks are not transferable).
So... that is that.
Karen and I went over the wedding list more last night. Added people rather than deleted. So... working, working, working.
It has been very nice watching baseball games w/Karen. Especially since she is so keen on the Boston Red Sox who have done wildly wonderful things in the playoffs! Tonight could be THE NIGHT! I hope so. We all hope so!!!
The election is coming right up. I have voted absentee. Now we all wait and see. I we hope. It is intelligence and flexibility and wonder vs thoughtlessness and rigidity and certainty. It is the thoughful vs believer. The academy vs the church. It is not necessarily good vs bad but it is cast in that light. Really it is the difference between looking positively towards the future vs looking backwards thinking things were better in the past. Progress vs withdrawal. In all/both cases it is looking NOT AT NOW but looking somewhere else. It is not being mindful of the moment but seeking to be elsewhere or elsewhen. This is normal but it is full of illusions. Even when we look and see the here and now we can be fooled by illusory perceptions. That is even more the case when we look away since for sure the imagination begins to work and play. And while the here and now may be perceivable that perception is still only for a moment and then the moment is gone and we are in the next moment and "this moment, this moment! is NOW.... and why should I worry, I'll be in the next moment, this moment, this moment, its now." (incredible string band song - about 1968 give or take a couple of years).
What is best, good, true, real? Who knows. And when will who know?
AH... uncertainty! Even a Bush re-election could be good. What will be will be. Que sera, sera. I am that I am. And I feel strongly that a Kerry victory can be best! WHY?
Only if Kerry wins can we have an admission of mistakes and corrections to those mistakes. Bush has shown he is not capable of admitting error and therefore will not be able to make corrections within a process which is true and open. Admitting mistakes is an essential part of the process which allows for real and lasting corrections to be made. Is it a sign of weakness to have made mistakes or is it a sign of being a human? Who has not made mistakes? Who has not admitted having made mistakes? Who has truly made corrections and changes? (this paragraph will be sent as a letter to the editor of the local papers - the Bee and the Enterprise) OR - actuall the next SECTION will go to the papers:
===========================================================
I think that admitting mistakes is an essential part of a process which allows for real and lasting corrections to be made. Is it a sign of weakness to have made mistakes or is it a sign of being a human? Who of us has not made mistakes? Who has not admitted having made mistakes? Who has truly made corrections and changes?
Bush has shown he is not capable of admitting error and therefore will not be able to make corrections within a process which is true and open. If Kerry wins can we have an admission of mistakes and corrections to those mistakes. My hopes for us all is with John Kerry as President.
=======================================================
done....
