While I blame nobody but myself ... have been giving thought to the profound wisdom of my upbringing during the ‘duck and cover’ days. Was probably broken by the truth of those days of youth and never able to repair myself well enough to listen to the duck. The duck always imparted the true meaning of the ‘duck and cover’ days. The real meaning was duck, cover your eyes, tuck your head between your legs and plant a kiss on your rear. Grew up after that point to understand that strategy was completely useless so decided to attempt to make a difference. A difference was never able to make but will pat self and duck on the back for trying.
I don’t know whether thomasthomas is writing poetry, philosophizing, having drink taken, insomniac, running on adrenaline ... but when I get up at 5:00 a.m Eastern and read his posts from the far off Pacific time zone, they have depth and resonance.
Am sensing the darkness of the lake. Guess should have not placed fingers to keyboard in the past few days. Maybe I should resign but would rather that decision not be mine to make ... because I truly do not want to play a part in reshaping destiny. If am reshaping destiny, please stop me and fire at me at will, please. I think I shall understand and there shall be no hard thoughts or feeling toward Free Republic. As stated, I care for no part in reshaping Free Republic’s destiny and if my posts of the past few days have begun a beginning of reshaping, I should be resigned to be resigned.
