I Believe!
I believe out of conviction!
I believe out of Inflexible Weighing and Examining,
I do not believe out of blind faith and herd mentality!
I Believe!
I believe in the Oneness of man’s Spiritual Homeland!
I believe in the God who Created man,
I do not believe in the God created by man!

By now all America is aware that we are returning to a war footing, a air war (for now)……..I have been watching all aspects of the run up to the war……..I am old enough that I recall the days and weeks to the 1991 Gulf war…….the steps that were taken to garner all the public support for the war possible. The invasion of Kuwait by Iraq….the rockets aimed at Israel……the WMDs and the possibility of nukes hiding in the sand……with all the steps in place the public was gung-ho and off we went.
The after the dastardly attacks of 9-11…..the admin started lining up the steps…….the rhetoric of “axis of evil”…..then the case for WMDs…….and then the search for uranium and finally the vision of a mushroom cloud……then the steps were in line and off we went in 2003 to invade the country of Iraq….again.

” Listen to the salutation to the dawn,
Look to the day for it is life, the very life of life,
In its brief course lie all the verities and realities of our existence.
The bliss of growth, the splendour of beauty,
For yesterday is but a dream and tomorrow is only a vision,
But today well spent makes every yesterday a dream of happiness
and every tomorrow a vision of hope.
Look well therefore to this day.
Such is the salutation to the dawn.” —Sanskrit Salutation to the Dawn
“The moon is full, the autumn nights grow longer,
In the north forests startled crows cry out.
Still high overhead, the star river stretches,
The Dipper’s handle set to southwest.
The cold cricket grieves deep in the chambers,
Of the notes of sweet birds, none remain
Then one evening gusts of autumn come,
One who sleeps alone thinks fondly on thick quilts.
Past loves are a thousand miles farther each day.
Blocked from my drifting and my sinking.
Man’s life is not as the grass and trees,
Still the season’s changes can stir the heart.” —Wei Ying Wu

Skulls are always fun… and they take a haunted mansion and make it scary in a different way…
Although I am still forced to wonder what sort of psychological damage we are doing to young children by showing them Jack Skellington in a Santa costume and presents full of frightening things… but whatever…
And what isn’t scary about a giant, decapitated rodent head made out of plastic pumpkins???
Bones are always scary… especially big bones with big teeth… or human ones you find in your backyard when you are digging a flower bed…
Okay, that doesn’t look scary at all. It looks like a big Ferris wheel… and it is… but those baskets do some freaky swinging back and forth at random, unexpected times. It is way scarier than the fastest rollercoaster… although I’m not sure why it is.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Sorry… that startled me… and, as I discovered while standing in yet another…
