To prevent war one must fully understand the consequences of starting one. This includes sometimes a history that shows taking one human life as a hostage can result in the decimation of an enemy.  We will not bring on war yet if it comes to our shore we will fight in a way that ensures the enemy understands that it is never to do this again. Hamas and Hezbollah brought the war to our shore and the defeat they suffered set an example that if only they read the story of Dinah they never would have attempted in the first place.

I love the dark, lightning and look for a horror film that even creates a moment of fear. Death is not something I worry endlessly about although I’m not seeking it. Here (below) are my greatest fears.

(1) CONFLICT- I can speak about the most contentious issues (politics, religion which is better Coke or Pepsi) but simple conflicts create fear in my bones.

(2) MENTAL HEALTH-  I’m afraid of the unpredictability of individuals who are off their prescribed medicine and what innocent action/words could trigger an episode.

(3) BORED/QUIET- Conversations that lead to an awkward silence, especially in long commutes trigger my hair to stand up. Maybe it’s a bit of annoyance as well on this front.

(4) MISSED OPPORTUNITIES/FUN- I’m not sure this would be the fear that would keep me up at night but the one that keeps me going in directions others wouldn’t step.

I’ve just finalized that project that could change the world or make you happy the government didn’t blow your monies on.  Yet, even if this doesn’t go as planned I’ll have another handshake coming soon. For I’ve been trusted with wealth well behind my needs and now I need to do something more with my life.  I need to make my own individual mark that has nothing to do with my parents’ plans in their “estate”.  Yes, I was the one who financed the mating rituals of Elephants and the discovery of that rare plant grown on the bottom of the sea that could … but I digress.  As a trust child you can be assured that this is my case and thank me later for the good it does for “society” or at least knowing it was just my money.

I touched the 3rd rail and though it was hot I didn’t get burnt at least for now. This was not literally the rail but felt like it as I touched on a “forbidden subject” and didn’t back away from the shock. I’m not sure if this subject will cause me any residual pain but I saw a spark or two this morning.  As such I think I need to lower the current before I attempt to put these sparks together again. Yet just knowing that I could touch such a subject G-D willing opens up many paths ahead even if they are near that rail.

While most come and go, we remain.  Winter, summer, spring and fall you will look up to us. We are in a unit that can’t be broken unless the fight is within our own tribes.  Fear is not from us landing but what can result from us flying above. We have invaded your land without any passports and have taken over our own territory.  Yet if you don’t mess with us, we won’t mess with Y-O-U. So let us fly above as you witness real power in the sky.

FOOTNOTE- Who are we?

Thank you so much but I’m not the one you should be clapping for.  G-D gave me the ability to put this together and the breath to keep it alive but I truly owe so much to Joe. That’s right Joe the guy everyone discounted because of his past mistakes, his unkempt looks, and his studdering is brilliant and I was stuck in a spot that had me listen to him.  The truth is if we had heard earlier to Joseph maybe so much more could have been accomplished but not that I am I hope you will listen to your Joe’s in the world as well. For, brilliance can come in spots hidden from our eyes and noses if we are just willing to listen to truly everyone.

I will sacrifice my looks to avoid this. Yes, I will wear the furry hat on top even if it creates not only hair day but hair week. I may not look marvellous outside but will feel that way no matter where the temperature and wind lead.  It’s cold outside so looks beware the pretty boy is hibernated till spring.
