Memorial Weekend 2007: May all my hang-ups Rest In Peace.
Thanks to those who served in all the wars that lead to my freedoms.
Thanks to those who came before me and fought for their lives simply for the freedom to live allowing me to burst forth and live freely as I do.
Thanks to the painful and often brutal experiences of my parents and my ancestors I'm pock filled with insecurities, fears, and anxieties. Not to mention a host of mental and physical quirks and idiosyncrasies.
Thanks to the passion, intensity and audacity of my parents and my ancestors to love in spite of their "ignorance and inability" I'm overladen with this..."senseless" faith in...a Higher power and in all that is living. Not to mention a host of endearing qualities and handsome genes.
So, I'd like to take this opportunity to lay My Issues To Rest.
All the BULL shit that cuts us deeply without laying one finger on us...Rest In Peace.
All the childhood taunts, the grown-up injustices and -isms, the social inequities that cause conflicts within ourselves...
may you all
REST.
IN.
PEACE.

Amen to that. May all the -'isms R.I.P.
If only my friend, if only. We fail to realize how much room baggage takes up in all of our lives. The more we can put down or put behind us, the more room we'll have for new positive experience.
I like how you said what you said.

Yea, Dave - time to put many things behind us...i can only hope that my prayers and my actions help make this world a better place...

YES CAP...I know that's right...we've got to lay those troubles down... it's a conscious decision we make to be happy "and it all begins when we lay our troubles down" (commissioned..in my head)...that was wonderful lady, so now what?
