Morning Coffee! ;)

[wrbones]

Hang on to yer hats, boys and girls, ?cause were a gonna fly.

?Mornin? folks! How the hell are ya this mornin?, anyways? Coffee?s on and it?s good and it?s hot, too! Ya best grab a cup and get yerself some. Ya gotta have yer eyes open ?fore ya face the day. Paper?ll be along after a bit, I reckon. I got infinity dibs onna funny pages, too!

Well, I reckon I got me some rest this last month. At least I got distracted some. I got a chance to do some research and studyin? on some things! I like doin? that. Studyin? and learnin? about stuff. I like it so much that I often ferget to tell folks what I might?ve learned along the way. Knowledge learned and not shared is useless, though. Among some other things, I been studyin? me some American history the last month. It?s been real interestin?, too. I did spend a few days studyin? on prophecy and conspiracy theories and that sort of thing as well. Them can be real tricky if ya don?t know what to look for in ?em!

What? I know I?m back. What?s the big deal, anyways? It?s been near four years with ya a visitin? over coffee with me. If?n you ain?t learned how to visit with folks proper by now, they ain?t squat-diddly me nor anyone else can do for ya! What about Mornin? Coffee? Why, we?re a gonna kick ?er up to the next level is all. It?s time to start treatin? ya like yer all growed up, like it or not! I been holdin? back on ya ?cause ya don?t know as much as ya think ya do. Now it?s time to get to the next level. We?re a gonna tie everything together over the next couple years, the good Lord willin? and the crick don?t rise, that is. Metaphysics, mythological archetypes, philosophy, prophesy, politics, all of it. Hang on to yer hats, boys and girls, ?cause we?re a gonna fly.

There?s a lot of folks today who claim that they?re capital ?P? Patriots and Americans. Yet, them folks don?t know squat about squat about nuthin?. They claim that they only got the best in their hearts and minds fer others, but ya don?t see ?em sacrificin? nuthin?, or a doin? much their own selves to help other folks. There?s lot?s of folks a doin? a lot of talkin?, but nobody does nuthin?. ?The government oughta do somethin?,? they?ll say. ?The church oughta do somethin?.? They say ?We oughta get together and do somethin? about it,? whatever ?it? happens ta be that day. ?Start a group.? ?Start a political party.? ?Start an organization.? Y?all say that ya know. (If startin? an organization was all it took, most of the problems in the world woulda been resolved long before any of us was born.) Them folks like you don?t do nuthin? themselves, though. Lot?s of other folks know stuff, but they?re keepin? it all to themselves, and when they do talk about anything, they talk in riddles and parables and secret codes that only others like them can understand. Makes ?em feel real special, I imagine. Ain?t too many folks know what real devotion is. Ain?t too many folks know what the word ?duty? means. Ain?t too many folks knows what real joy is. Ain?t too many folks in America know about real pain and love and loss. Our society is a sick one, folks, and they ain?t no amount of paxil or viagra a gonna fix it for ya. Yer a gonna haveta rise up and act like real men and women of valor. It?s time and past time to act like men and women who know what morality and ethics and true spirituality is all about. True spirituality requires, and not only requires, but demands, action. Listenin? requires action. Learnin? requires action. Empty words and bad rhetoric are not action, folks. I thought I might oughta clue ya in on that one. Most of ya seem to have missed it.

If ya want peace in the world, true peace in the world begins in yer own heart, in yer own house, and in yer own neighborhood, and in yer own town. If you want action to be taken on the issues, it begins within yer own heart and soul and mind. Most of ya have the wrong definitions of the words and the terms that you use so freely, anyways. Freedom is interchanged for liberty. Liberty is interchanged to mean a lack of consequences and of personal responsibility. Honor and integrity are pretty much not known among ya. Ya think them words means that all ya have to worry about is takin? care of yerself and doin? what you want when ya wanta do it?the way ya want do it?and if?n it all goes wrong, it ain?t yer fault. Well, that?s the way ya think! All a feller?s gotta do is to listen to what yer a sayin?, and to see what little ya do to know that, don?t ya know.

It?s all gibberty-snabberty this mornin?, but they?s more a goin? on here than ya think they is. I spent an awful lot of time explainin? things to ya the last few years. From now on out, yer just a gonna haveta keep up.

How?s metaphysics and true spirituality fit in? Why, we?re a gonna talk about that one of these days pretty quick, I?d reckon. It has to do with the power that you have, as an individual, to change the world. Things inna world is set up more certain than a cesium clock, but there?s some things where ya can have an impact. The rest of ?er? Why, we?ll get there sooner or late! Fer now, though, it?s time to warm up yer coffee and get yer head wrapped around yer day ?fore ya head out.

It?s a new day, folks. It?s a new chance to get ?er all sorted out. We?ve got another opportunity to get ?er right. I?d figger on takin? advantage of ?er if?n I were you.
