We've all paid in fire this time.

We continue to suffer.

"God gave Noah the rainbow sign. No more water; fire next time."

Get over YOUR EXPECTATIONS of doom and gloom!
(That means HAVE HOPE!)

"Revisit" your PERSONAL PAST and then read, read, read!

(Pardon me, IF you need to! I've always felt I was a day behind everyone else in figuring things out. Now I realize I have to wait for understanding to catch up to my questions!)

The "fires" have been happening for too many years! See World Wars ONE and TWO. Don't forget our Civil, Korean and Vietnam Vets, either.

Do we really NEED war?
Why do we keep killing our world family to prove a point, or gain an advantage? We neglect the life living in the seas by dumping OUR OWN GARBAGE in it!

The pen is mightier than the sword, but introspection works the best for me. You may find a solution that doesn't even require ANGER, much less fighting about your point! Then communication and building trust will provide the key.
AND you'll EARN the satisfaction that comes from knowing that you solved your problem yourself!

I've faced MANY problems in my life and continue to do so even now. I still make many mistakes, but I feel less guilty about them, and definitely apologize if I think it appropriate, for they are minor.

MY key is Major!

Humankind has survived war so far, at the expense of several of the most gentle (non-aggresive) races cultures of Humankind.

I'm proud of the efforts being made at diplomatic solutions!

Make better efforts, World Governments, it's OUR lives your playing with!

I'm having trouble containing my emotion at this point and my fingers dance wildly over the keys, I feel this so intensely!

But then the music changes and I regain my composure. Music does indeed have charms to soothe the savage breast.

Not since a Christmas (Birth) 2000 years ago has the world been so affected by two deaths, Mother Theresa and Princess Diana. I think a new age officially began with their deaths. The whole world felt their passing. What does it mean? I don't know, but Kenny and I witnessed an air confluence above San Francisco the day we helped my Father decorate his Home, Dec 2nd. It was reported on KRON, channel four, San Francisco, CA, USA. It was magnificent. From our rooftop it looked like a white double-spiraled helix rainbow arching from Mt Tamalpias to wherever the "rainbow" ended. I felt in my gut and throughout my whole being...
It's a rainbow of HOPE!
I could not ignore the fact that from our perspective it resembled our genetic code structure.

With the planets "lining up" the way they are, perhaps Gabriel already blew his horn (see Cole Porter, ANYTHING GOES, BLOW, GABRIEL, BLOW!) and we were expecting to hear it from another source!

That morning, Kenny and I witnessed it and I'm just reporting events, and opining by saying that personally, we're going to enjoy Christmas EVEN MORE this year, I'm SURE of it!
(I Hope!)

Have a merry Christmas, World.

Honor the dead by building today better.

And let's let EVERY CULTURE choose their OWN track.

I wish to see Humankind's Beauty PRESERVED, not undone, AND I refuse to ignore that my personal universe confirmed my BELIEFS this Christmas of 1997 in a very personally appropriate way.
I promise in return to continue to accord my surroundings the proper Respect that ALL THAT IS deserves.

Get ready MEEK, it's YOUR TURN!
The MILLENIUM has arrived a little early!!!

Believe it or not, it IS happening! Always has been, always will be, forever and ever, if we continue to HOPE!
