THE LITTLE SOUL

ONCE UPON NO TIME THERE WAS A LITTLE SOUL. AND THIS LITTLE SOUL KNEW ITSELF TO BE THE LIGHT, PART OF THE KA-GILLION LIGHTS THAT MAKE UP THE WHOLE OF THE UNIVERSE. BUT THE LITTLE SOUL WANTED TO EXPERIENCE ITSELF AS THE LIGHT. AND GOD SAID THAT IF THE LITTLE SOUL WANTED TO KNOW THE LIGHT, IT MUST ALSO KNOW THE DARKNESS. FOR HOW ELSE CAN ONE KNOW UP WITHOUT DOWN, HOT WITHOUT COLD, FAST WITHOUT SLOW? THEN THE LITTLE SOUL UNDERSTOOD THAT IN GETTING TO KNOW “ WHO IT REALLY IS”, IT WOULD HAVE TO KNOW THE OPPOSITE. “ THIS IS A GREAT GIFT,” GOD SAID, “BECAUSE WITHOUT IT, YOU COULD NOT KNOW WHAT ANYTHING IS LIKE.” SO THE LITTLE SOUL EMBARKED UPON AN ADVENTURE. AND PERHAPS IT IS VERY MUCH LIKE THE ADVENTURE THAT WE ALL SHARE ON THIS PLANET WE CALL EARTH.

Did you know that the bones of the dead lie underneath the city of Paris? 

Bones of the dead 

Eiffel Tower 

My Marine sailed away from American soil yesterday on the Carter Hall bound for his 2nd tour in Iraq. And I can hear him singing Ozzie's 'Momma I'm coming home!' 

A visual aid for the lone wolf..... :)

 

There is so much more to say, and it's all coming..... but I had to add here:
Thank you Abiola! And thank you Feather and I hope you don't mind my... uh visual aid here.... peace and love goddesses

Farewell Picnic

Me & My Three Amazing Kids lol - taken today at a farewell picnic for my 27 yr old Marine (the one with the military haircut lol). He's headed back to Camp Lejeune and then on to Iraq (again)..... It has been an absolutely beautiful day.... 

Momma I'm coming home

I'll never forget when my oldest son, the Marine sang that song to me in the car when we were on our way home from his basic training graduation. Whenever I'm worried about him I play that song alot. Well, I'm counting down the days til his leave from Oct. 20th - Oct. 30th. After that he's off to Iraq again, by boat this time and for a shorter period of time.

Lets all focus some thoughts at the Iraqi people (for those that approve change to be successful, and for the insurgents to see the light). Please let this war come to an end soon. Please keep all our military personnel in your hearts and minds daily. That they all come home safe and sound.

Rock on Ozzy, and if you've never known a Marine - they are the most incredible people on the earth! (Not to belittle the other branches of the armed forces.) But they really are awesome!
