Sanctuary

Webster's Dictionary defines sanctuary as a safe place, a refuge. The wombs of our Mothers were safe places. We remember that safe place and spend the rest of our lives looking, fighting , and competing for it to regain if only for a moment that sense of refuge only found in our Mother's womb. We are not secure outside of that womb and knowing we are never ever going to get back in we convince ourselves we are satisfied with the artificial ones we create around ourselves, but we aren't. So we create these after-worlds in our minds that promise us of the womb of all wombs after we die. I don't think we realize this womb fixation thing motivates us and consumes us.

The Work Bell

Well, you wake up in the mornin',
You hear the work bell ring,
And they march you to the table to see the same old thing.
Ain't no food upon the table, and no pork up in the pan.
But you better not complain, boy,
You get in trouble with the man.

Dos Amigos!

The Buddies! Both Buddies have now passed across Rainbow Bridge. I miss them. They have found Sanctuary.

Fighting For Your Flag On your Own Soil

I thought I would never hear of Americans asking another American to take down the Stars and Stripes. The blood shed to defend this flag deserves more respect than that. Please support this Medal Of Honor veteran whose neighbors have no respect.

The Bill of Rights

I believe in these. I believe that my fellow man regardless of race, gender, religion, or sexual orientation has just as much right to live in harmony on this Earth of ours as I do. I served to defend these rights. I stand for the National Anthem. I proudly fly the Flag Of The United States. I believe in God, and I go to Church. I will defend my God, my Country, my Family, and my Friends even if it takes the ultimate sacrifice of my life. I am who I am because of them and I am not afraid to stand up and say so. God Bless them.
