Here’s a quick escape (below) from all the Hurricane news that will take you to a better place at least for 3 minutes or so. Catchy lyrics with soft peaceful sound is something we all need for a few more minutes of our day.

Would you stay if a hurricane appeared to be coming down your corner? I guess it depends on how prepared you feel you are, you’re own feeling of immortality and a sick sense of excitement. If you feel that your place has the ability to hold up against any storm and you have the supplies you need maybe you would hold up yet knowing a tree could knock it all down might pull you away just in time. You might have the feeling of invincibility that you could weather any source of nature but do you want to tempt that nature? It all therefore comes down to the sick sense of excitement to be there when the battle is going on rather then retreat from it. To say that you survived such a storm and have the scars and stories to tell afterwards that is if you’re alive to tell them.
Jennifer Lawrence is one of my favorite actresses who has the ability to make me believe she is the character on the scene can but can I continue to separate that person from the politics she brings? For her recent accusations of the cause of “Hurricane Irma” are so preposterous and ill suited for the devastation that people are in the path of seeing that I won’t repeat them. All they do is split people up when they truly need to come together. So can I split those remarks from her when I see her perform or will they linger on not allowing me to escape into her talents she presents on the screen? Will I and others with similar views/objections be bothered to contribute $’s to someone with such outlandish views or do we favor boycotting talent and or political speech which might be offensive? Even though I won’t boycott Mrs. Lawrence for political speech must be free for all, it does hinder on what we see on the stage therefore maybe a pre-edit for those in the field should be considered in the future instead.
What happens if Hurricane Irma STOPS before it hits Florida and suddenly dies? Where will the meteorologist go to try and discover the why? Will they try to find some scientific rationale to explain what has occurred or would they admit they have no clue? Would people around the world search for the one person who had that direct line to G-D to stop this devastation or would people turn back to their local faith groups? I don’t have a clue but let’s pray that this mystery happens before Sunday.
We will give it all away the only choice is when? Every part of our life will no longer be in our hands which will be given away in someway as well. So the choice is do we want to consciously make the decision which can add to our number or have it pulled away from us over time? You might feel as if you’re losing some material wealth now and part of yourself now but remember you can’t take it with you later.
I was told by my son that he dreamed I had sold him to Islamic Terrorists and then had the nerve to ask him for a favor. This dream haunted him instead of made him laugh. It was so ridiculous because I don’t have any friends that are Islamic terrorist, I’m not a big fan of the slavery, the Islamic Terrorists would want to kill me first before I even started talking, and I love my son through and through. Which draws me to the point why don’t we laugh at the ridiculous dreams that come in our own heads? We often feel we can’t suspend our feeling of disbelief in a movie then why can’t we do it our own head and start laughing instead. Maybe it’s because the characters in our subconscious are much deeper then we see on the screen and we are the writers of this script. The Truth is it’s bad enough that we’re the only one’s sitting in this theater so why ridicule our own dream even if it is completely ridiculous.
As the last Jewish person in the world I run through the woods in fear as a man with a knife hunts me down. He pins me to the corner pulls a knife to my neck as he is just about to add to his list when I awake in horror. This was a nightmare I had just before my teens and although I forget what I ate for dinner on Tuesday this nightmare still lingers. Here are two more of those memories that stay in my mind (below) although I can’t count the nightmares where individuals close to me appeared to die when my eyes were closed.
(1) It’s a family trip down a long bridge when suddenly the bridge cracks and we start to fall towards the water. I see myself drifting out of the car when I suddenly awake.
(2) I appear to be awake when suddenly thousands of bugs litter my floor. I throw down my blanket and run to my parents to rescue me and as I reappear in my room they are suddenly gone.
WARNING- DEEP THOUGHT OF THE DAY
Before you judge my comments and try to cause me pain think of the pain that you truly enjoy. For tonight or yesternight (painful word) you went to sleep and suffered from a nightmare that caused you great pain and instead of deciding to try a different activity went back to the one that caused you so much inner turmoil. Even if you decided to stay awake for a bit of time eventually your love for this often painful activity led you down the same path which will eventually hurt you again. You can claim you need your rest to keep going but do you need the pain as well even if it’s on the subconscious side?
Although we may have different ways and paths to express our faith understanding that there in only one G-D helps humanity as a whole. One G-D who made all of us means that we can’t look to down on others or we are truly looking down on ourselves. We may think that our path is closer to the truth but must understand that the one creator put us all here for various reasons. Therefore any person who looks to condemn a whole race, religion or path that doesn’t look to harm others is truly looking to hurt G-D as well.
Let us all pray to G-D in our special way to have mercy on those in Florida and the east coast who appear to be on Hurricane Irma’s Path. This might not stop the wind and rain but will be guaranteed to lesson the damage it might cause. For prayers to G-D work even if we may not fully feel the impact in our own life’s till much later on. If worst comes to worse those in Florida and in Irma’s path will know we are taking the time to think about them before impact and that can help inspire them afterwards.
