There is something about moving...outdoors...that allows you to better collect your thoughts, and your heart. <br /><br />I am so deeply sorry for the loss of your friend, Jeff. As you know, I'm well aware of the added layers of grief and bewilderment that a death by suicide carries with it. So sorry.<br /><br />May peace, love, and light find it's way to you this holiday.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-34613411370252247012011-12-24T08:14:35.152-05:002011-12-24T08:14:35.152-05:00Sage ............. Sorry about your friend.
Thanks...Sage ............. Sorry about your friend.<br />Thanks for the romantic stroll about town. I don't know why, but I told the 'good wife' the other day, I think our town is prettier this year than its ever been. Jesus is back, the town seems 'brighter' than its ever been before, hey maybe that's why. [Did you know we have a new 'lighter' in the street department that puts up our seasonal street decorations? The cynical side of me agrees with you about having Jesus in your heart - but maybe the outstanding defense of the nativity scene by those who don't go to church is a 'seed,' at the very least, 'an acknowledgement.' Your stroll has motivated me to take a shorter version of it sometime tonight before I attend your church's midnight candlelight worship. I'll definitely walk down the side street the Mexican Connection and Dave's Drug Store on because of the 'good wife's' favorite [and I like it too] store Al Fresco's; I'm quite convinced they have the best 'book selection' in town! When I congratulated the owner on that she said that the lady who chooses the books is very meticulous about it, and I believe that. Every Sunday morning about 5:30AM, before I begin to make sure everything human is in order for the mornings worship, I drive through our little town and rejoice that I'm privileged to live here. Get a cup of lukewarm coffee[barely; but then again who wants to burnt by it?!]at the only gas station open in town, before heading back to the office. I love going over the bridge that is our towns mason-dickson line. ha. Thanks again for the walk, the memories, and the motivation.<br />Merry Christmas!Eutychus2https://www.blogger.com/profile/17857223796021466755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-22983037614050573492011-12-23T22:54:28.121-05:002011-12-23T22:54:28.121-05:00Sage: I'm very sorry to learn about the loss o...Sage: I'm very sorry to learn about the loss of your friend.

This walk through your town with your best friend at your side is exactly even better than a good old nature walk. Your town is just like what I remember of my old town growing up in Michigan. Where you knew most everyone in town, and the way of life was simple and enchanting. Nothing too hurried, just enjoying the people you know. Friendly faces, doors open everywhere you went....it is about our journey of spirit in everything that makes life blissful....a time back then for me when you never expected things, they just happened....and you were always happy!...and familiar rountines eased pain and healing from any woes that came your way....it's funny, or maybe good old Karma that you posted this, and these photos, because always this time of year my heart and soul reaches back to those days I grew up in Michigan as a child, I thrive on trying to recreate those feelings of magic and beliefs, still today!(and I return there(in my thoughts) whenever I need too....yes people just worried about doing the right thing back then, and being friendly and kind...and who was and wasn't going to be in this year's Christmas pagent! ...and if you were a child, and you had medicine to take for a sore throat once you finished the bottle, you ripped off the bottom of the label and took it in to your one and only drug store man dressed in a white coat behind a tall counter, and turned it in for ice cream...thank you Jeff, for this great reunion of spirit for me, and may peace be with you in the loss of your dear friend...21 Witshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00071361755673253230noreply@blogger.com
