Dear Risk

Disney World Chamber of Commerce
Did most of yesterday’s writing here.

 

Disney's Flag Retreat Ceremony
Stayed in Town Square to catch the (daily) Flag Retreat Ceremony yesterday on 9/11/16.

 

Dear Risk,

Thank you for the opportunity to spend our life savings with literally zero chance of success. We took the risk simply because we couldn’t live with the thought of not trying.

Last night, our 16-year old came to me (Cheryl is at Disneyland for two weeks) to share that he wants to extend his first novel’s publishing date indefinitely.

Patiently listening, i discerned his logic – and saw his passion – and totally support this.

The caveat, however, is that he start and complete a second book project – the original plan for a series of short stories – before he finishes 10th grade. In fact, by Christmas 2016 would be ideal.

Dear Prayer

iPhone 7 email announcement
Thank you for mortals like Steve Jobs. Ordered it the day i received this email (two days ago on Sept 9).

 

Dear Prayer,

Where would the world be without the face of Jesus? Where would it be without the face other religions center on? Thank you for the special human beings that are historical symbols for Faith, Hope and Love.

Thank you for The Lord’s Prayer, The Hail Mary, “Grace” and the simple (and homemade) dinner-time prayer we say each evening.

Dear running

Dear running,

Finding more time to pray, finding more things to pray about, and improving the quality (depth) of my prayers are because of you.

Thank you for the gift of focused “free-time” to feed my soul.

Dear Future me

Love you “Pop-Pop”. Photo: July 2016.

 

Dear Future me,

To wait until you are in desperate need of someone like Jesus, Muhammad, or God is to lose a lifetime of wonderful peace, contentment, and joy.

i love to feel a desperate need every day.

i love to feel a desperate need all day.

The three most magnificent days in your life were the day you were born, the day you figured out why, and the coming day when you’ll take your final breath.

Dear younger me

Lake McDonald
Pairing up is part of nature’s grand design. Pairing allows for the ebb and flow of love.

 

Dear younger me,

Interestingly enough, the insidious aching you feel in your heart will take 40 years to finally get your attention as “unacceptable”. You’ll come to the realization that Nature and God are the same thing and that your lifelong love of Nature was preparing you for this revelation.

You’ll also discover the meaning of life – to love and be loved.

When you finally finish RCIA, you’ll be well prepared to “burn the ships” on your former self – the self that wasn’t fully conscious, wasn’t consciously grateful for every minute of every day.
