...and another thing, "It Takes TWO to Tango!"

So, how's about agreeing to get together and share this old world to see
What we can do to put it ~ and us ~ back together again?
Yeah, it sure looks like a Humpty Dumpty...
You heard about what happened to Humpty Dumpty, didn't you?
Well, I guess he got too big for the wall he was sitting on...

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king's horses,
And all the king's men,
Couldn't put Humpty together again.

But,
And this is one, big BUT,
The difference between Humpty Dumpty and a team like you 'n' me 'n' whoever else likes sharing is
We can do real magic,
Turn our chemistry inside-out
Change or spots so your body turns the color of your
spots, which can turn the color of your body!
We are all made of one-and-the-same-something
nobody can see but everybody shares
"Spirit"
Poor, old Humpty Dumpty was just an
Egg made of runny stuff inside a very, very thin shell
How breakable was he, hah?
The thing about our all being made of "Spirit" is
It can pretty much die, or you sure might
Feel like the little flame of Spirit inside you has been snuffed out
But the beauty of Spirit is it can
Morph, shape-shift, renew itself,
Even change into something brand new
...and much, much MORE!!!
Hardly recognizable, in fact.

I think that is so totally cool, like smashing cool!

My fave stories when I was a kid, was fairytales. In fact,
They were the only books I read or even asked for my birthday ~ well,
Except when I was nine and we were all into exchanging Nancy Drew mystery books
But that was more a friends-sharing-thing.
When I got older and didn't have a best friend
I made Jesus my best friend and only read Jesus stories.
Knowing about him and talking to him in my prayers, even when I was seriously wondering if
He heard me or even existed, got me through all sorts of impossible stuff.
I think of myself anymore as a "live miracle walking on two legs".
Then my idea of Jesus as my best friend morphed slowly, slowly until
now ~ I see that beautiful person who was always my best friend
in all shapes and sizes of beauty in my friends.
So I've always called Shadow, my first dog I got last year,
"my best friend" the same as I used to only feel about Jesus.
Still, whenever he gets sick and throws up I hold him
and pray out loud to Jesus for him to get better, which makes Jesus
OUTSIDE of us and, well, it's so complicated
I don't even understand it.
Shadow doesn't either, but he knows Jesus.
In fact he is only patient whenever I, say, do my I Ching or Tarot readings on my computer
because he knows I'm talking to Jesus,
otherwise, he interrupts my computer work all the time.
See, he knows the difference but doesn't think of trying
to understand, conceptualize, phenomenal-ize Jesus
He just, in a word, is "a friend he can't see"
Shadow has faith in All That Is Good ~ Spirit

I think Spirit is in all of us when we are born
and just about all of us, in tact, or bigger,
when we die
Like, maybe less than 2% of the world's population -
statistically insignificant as a factor in the scheme of things -
lose it, Spirit, by choice,
somewhere along the way
and wind up dying without it.
It just takes a couple of bad apples to make
a helluva big mess in one bash of a party
that takes 8 times as long to clean up.
Considering, after you do the math, the probabilities are still
pretty excellent, like a chance greater than 98%
to put this planet back together again
in one piece, or in one Peace [pun intended].

So, I figure, why wait?
Shadow is used to miracles because he knows
I depend on them, like it's normal...
Speaking of normal, Shadow just interrupted to remind me I promised him and Smokey
They could play outside after 9 when they can bark legally but now
Smokey is barking compulsively so I have to go get him...
That’s life, I guess
Infinitely complicated beyond even pretending to understand or judge and
Just plain common-sense-simple even your pets get it.
That's sharing, doing stuff together,
When I'm upset the whole house is upset and when I am happy and sing
Like most of the time I'm awake, even right now,
Everybody gets happy then yawns as they get relaxed.
To think such a phenomenon "Spirit", when applied in everyday life
Gets easy, with a little effort.
I wish more people would make an effort at feeling "Spirit" again in their hearts
Because it would sure make my job a lot easier.
I think I'll go do my prayer-divination thing now and keep bugging "Jesus" to
Light a fire under our collective pants.

The Story about grass and flowers and how sparrows RULE!
Luke 12
22Jesus said to his disciples, `So I tell you this. Do not be troubled about what you will eat to keep alive. Do not be troubled about clothes to wear on your body.
23Life itself is worth more than food, and the body is worth more than clothes.
24`Think of the birds. They do not plant, cut, or keep any food. Yet God feeds them. You are worth much more than the birds!
25`Can any of you live any longer by troubling yourself about these things?
26If you cannot do a small thing like that, why do you trouble yourself about the other things?
27`Think about the flowers. See how they grow. They do not work or make cloth. I tell you, King Solomon was a great man. But he was not dressed as fine as one of these flowers.
28God dresses the grass in the fields so it looks nice. It is in the field one day and the next day it is burned. If God dresses the grass like that, he cares much more that you have clothes to wear. You do not believe in God very much!
29`Do not keep asking, "What shall we eat?" and, "What shall we drink?" Do not be troubled about that.

The Story about thinking like a kid...
Luke 18:15-17
15People brought even small children to Jesus. They wanted him to put his hands on them. When the disciples saw it, they tried to stop the people.
16But Jesus called them to him and said, `Let the children come to me. Do not try to stop them. The kingdom of God belongs to people like them.
17I tell you the truth. If anyone does not believe in the kingdom of God like a child, he will never go in.'

...and more stuff out of Luke 18:
1Jesus told them a story to teach them that they should keep on talking with God and not give up.

19Jesus answered him, `Why do you call me good? Only one is good, and that is God.

26Those who heard it asked, `Then who can be saved?'
27But Jesus said, `God can do what men cannot do.'

The Story of Lazarus
Luke 16:19-31
19`There was a rich man who dressed and lived like a king every day.
20A poor man named Lazarus was put at his door. He had many sores on his body.
21He wanted to eat the pieces of food that fell from the rich man's table. Dogs came and licked his sores.
22The poor man died. Angels carried him to be with Abraham. `The rich man also died and was buried.
23He was in great pain in the world of dead people. He looked up and saw Abraham far away. With him was Lazarus.
24He called out, "Father Abraham, help me! Send Lazarus to dip his finger in some water and cool my tongue. This fire is very hot for me."
25`But Abraham said to him, "Son, remember this. You had a good time when you were living. Lazarus had a bad time when he was living. But now he is happy here and you are in pain.
26But that is not all. A wide hole is between you and us. No one can go from here to you if he wanted to. And no one can come from where you are to us."
27`The rich man said, "Then, father, I beg you, send Lazarus to my father's house.
28I have five brothers there. Tell him to talk to them so that they will not come to this place where there is pain."
29`But Abraham said, "They have Moses and the Prophets. They can listen to them."
30`He answered, "No, father Abraham! But if a man who had died went to them, they would stop their wrong ways."
31`Abraham said, "If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, then they will not believe, even if a man were raised from death." '
