Wow, Methuselah is among you! Must be at least a Billion years old!!

Oh, wait, the climate Is changing.... Every Day.

Craig, a great deal of the left wing agenda is precisely what is needed, but I hate the idea of political correctness. Everything ought to be open for debate. Democrats kill themselves by trying to accommodate every issue. What they have in their favor is a commitment to objective reality. It's very telling that one of the great issues of the moment pits the POTUS and his ally, who just happens to be named Pecker and The National Enquirer, against The Washington Post. PS: I'm opposed to rape.

craigd, you know Billy's feelings on those matters of sexual abuse and rape. It all depends on whether you are a pro-gun Republican or an anti-gun Democrat. The anti-gun Democrat should always be considered innocent until proven guilty, and then should be forgiven. The Republican should be impeached, and prosecuted based on hearsay and manufactured evidence if necessary.

We saw that from Billy when Justice Brett Kavanaugh faced what turned out to be false allegations of attempted rape, multiple gang rapes, and serial rape.

I'm quite sure Argo44 will be along shortly to point out how the anti-gun Liberal Left Democrat has ran yet another nice thread right into the ditch. On second thought, no, we will never see that if we wait until the sun burns out.

Lloyd,
That was a real baring of the soul-a gutsy thing on any open forum. Your questions reminded me of the writings of Jim Corbett. Few who have read him would question his connection to earth, nature. In more than one story, he relates- for lack of a better phrase- accounts of a "sixth sense" or even more intriguing, a "second sight" ( in the recitation containing the lost suitcase belonging to the official from Nepal). There is also one story recounting mysterious lights. Corbett relates how he changed his usual path on one occasion without being aware of it, to find on a subsequent investigation as to why he did so, that a tiger was concealed at the spot he avoided. But this sixth sense was not infallible: I believe that it is the same story where he senses a group of boulders holds danger and death for him, and he safely sidesteps his way around them with the rifle at ready, and yet later, pursuing the same tiger, he steps around the corner of that large angled rock right into the presence of the waiting, grinning tiger (the one where he had the birds eggs in his left hand).

As a hospice chaplain, I deal with death and dying five days a week. Even the US government, at least for now, recognizes that we are complex beings, and that one can be spiritual without being religious.

Great post, that for me, reveals the soul not of one losing his mind, but one whose mind is open to the possibility that the world is more than the empirical, the tangible

So Pareidolia is what seeing faces in things is called. When we were kids my mother would take the whole brood out on the lawn and have us all lie down on our backs and watch the clouds for images of faces or animals or things. Kept us quiet I guess.

I saw all sorts of things and still do. When the fish aren't biting or the ducks aren't flying I still find myself drawn to the clouds searching for whatever appears. And you know what, things still appear for me. I hope I never lose that...Geo

I'm on the same page with you re:cloud watching. It sometimes is a good escape from the harsh realities of the world of today, with so much crime, heavy drug usage, human trafficking, racial tensions- all around. Mankind may be headed for an Apocalypse- just as in the Joseph Conrad novel: "Heart of Darkness".. RWTF

Fox, you got to take a boat ride up the the great gray greasy Limpopo to find the heart of darkness...Geo

The country is in better shape by far than portrayed by our temporary president. He got elected by portraying himself as the alternative to disaster; turns out he wasn't an alternative.

Then why are you even commenting on this thread if you cannot see that all things have a connection & nothing is off topic especially if it is about the same subject; Spirits ?

O.M

Global warming is just mere months away...

We used to call it summer.
