We all have a lot to say.  How we use our words can lead us toward troubled waters.  Mainly because most of those receiving don’t meet your presence with acceptance.  Absolutely we live in the land of free speech and opportunity.  We also live within the replenished soils that make up cancel culture.  Comedians are having to change their live performances because of their words.  A single person can say something about Batman and totally irritate the lovers of bats around the world.  How dare anyone think this nighttime flying creation be connected to hunting down bad people.  We are offended by such a connection.  Ho hum.  It’s part of that group of people who kill millions of spiders every day then use chemicals to fill the air because there are too many flying insects interrupting the moments that which make up the day.  People and their words.  Being heard isn’t what captures my attention.  Silent introverts do!  What are you thinking?  Where are you planting your words?  Quiet introverts are people watchers, planners and careful about stepping outward.  But do they have a lot to say?  This is why I practice stream writing seven days a week.  One page.  Ten minutes to write.  No editing.  Let it all out.  Look at your words.  Hear your voice without words being spoken.  What did you learn about your point of direction?  We all have something to say.  How are you using your words?  Musicians and songwriters get to hide behind fancy poetry.  Politicians rely on shaming those who don’t believe while inciting fear so you will begin to follow.  Preachers rely on the word.  I’m a hidden speak writer.  I say things that make people assume when in reality the interpretation was completely out of focus of the original idea.  Getting to know your words opens the door for you to believe in the spirit of being heard.

They all run together!  I’m not talking about the deer in my forest.  The days of the week and the numbers they carry with them.  A herd of days.  Or would it be a gaggle of moments?  I never hear anyone getting excited about it being Friday.  Backyard BBQ’s are anytime and anyplace just bring your own brand of beer.  The Covid lockdown erased the lines that separated the days of the week.  I have to look at my Google calendar to remind myself that wow it really is a Friday!  I feel like a Rock star that’s been on the road for a billion days.  They have no clue where they are.  Oh sure, slowing down might lift the daily lines.  Why stop when getting ahead is the post Covid 19 adventure?  I do and always have worked seven days a week.  I blame this lifestyle on my parents.  They pushed their lives into overdrive until they couldn’t do it any more in their mid-80s.  My Grandfather helped build the infamous Bozeman tunnel that moves through the great Rocky Mountains.  My father built our home in Billings, Montana.  I didn’t get a single one of those genes.  My fuel has always been spirituality and the winds that carry the stories.  Part of living in the Now is doing it right Now.  Setting things aside serves as a seed for another day and quite possibly a different decade.  When people ask me about my age I tell them.  Then it’s followed by, “I think.”  The days.  They all run together.

July 22, 2021

An odd shape of thought has fallen into my heart while making my way into the forest.  So much of what I’m seeing is a memory.  I’m a writer that claims to endlessly live in the present.  It’s difficult on days like this.  Being mindful of the present requires a reminder of how we got here.  The flowering trees bring color and strong scent of spring.  As hard as I’m trying to push away the heart must remain in the present.  Lost in a memory.  The white blossoms on the ancient apple tree.  The budding leaves on the Leland Cyprus.  I honestly can’t see beyond the memory.  What does that say about hope and the future?  Has life being put on hold due to the Covid lockdown changed my relationship with this forest?  Being here is the moment.  The quick chirps from the bright red Cardinal.  The tiny yellow finches darting around.  The Red Tail Hawk with its screeching.  And back I go into a memory.  Back to our first introduction.  1992.  I knew something was moving through me.  See what I mean!  All I can do today is live off a memory.  The choice should always be to be present in the everyday of new beginnings.  Comedian/actor JB Smoove knows his place in the present.  During his conversation with Howard Stern JB reminded the legendary broadcaster how important it is to protect your legacy.  What you do right now is how you’re going to be remembered.  If your choice is to be a jerk or to gamble your paycheck away, that’s how you are going to be seen.  People don’t care about your past because present has the impact of where we are going tomorrow.  How do you want to be seen?  I was blessed to lead two 3.5 hour lectures yesterday.  Those in attendance saw me as ________.  What would they say about my new today?  You have to pay attention!  Know your moment of now.  It’s the ink in the writing instrument designing what will become your legacy.

July 16, 2021

Robert Sykes.  A frequent visitor on my daily path.  Until yesterday he was always as the aged man who downed two huge Red Bulls before shopping for groceries.  I didn’t know his story.  Not til fate put me next to him while manning the beer and wine bar at Harris Teeter.  Robert Sykes wanted another glass of the house juice.  He wanted to know where I was from, “You talk funny.  People don’t sound like you.”  I learned while choosing to listen that Robert Sykes had walked nearly the entire nation.  Walked meaning he hitch hiked.  That doesn’t always mean getting a ride.  Nor does it always offer shelter.  The worst storm he’s ever seen was in North Dakota.  He had to take shelter under an overpass.  Robert Sykes is a U.S. Marine.  He wanted Air Force but felt he’d take whatever they’d give.  1968.  His hero John Wayne would do it.  So he needed to.  Get over to Vietnam.  In the moments he arrived, the platoon that which he was part of was ambushed.  They lost six including their leader.  Robert Sykes remembers every man that was part of his team, including the cities they were from.  Robert Sykes found reason to chuckle about a helicopter that almost landed on him while trying to free an area under attack.  Today, he finds solitude sitting in the far corner of a grocery store beer and wine bar.  Slowly sipping on the juice.  When it was time to go.  I called Yellow Cab.  I watched as he struggled to get into the vehicle.  Not because of the wine. It was the effects of time. I thanked Mr. Sykes for his stories.  He quickly returned, “There’s a lot of us out here that want to talk.  We just can’t find the listeners.”
