AFiveXDos = APerFecTTeN. Ten in love, ten in life and just a 10. Highest marks, highest evals and simply the best. Olympic or not, our love should always be ranted as a 10 or darn close.

10, keep countin’.

The unfolding, of the folded, packs a punch that words will never be capable of describing. The outer conflict of the inner heart of hearts leaves clear the expression that will never change. The loss and gain, gain and loss both unimaginable, deep and sensitive to touch. Today is cake day.

How many candles? None… 2/9/47 and counting.

Gemini. Two people, two distinct ways of seeing, acting and living. Always a tug ‘o war between the two different attitudes and visions. In the long run, however the two views pay off since a more well rounded way of seeing life evolves.  David thanks his Mom for bring him to term as a Gemini! Here you witness the opposing (Slant Version) “G-Rated” & “X-Rated” iterations.

When one opens a door for the very first time, the light that shines outwardly is blinding. Why is this so? Are we “blinded by the light?” Or simply, too afraid to see what is fervently in front of us? There is so much to consider, focus upon and investigate when first the door is opened. So grab that door handle and let’s see what excitement and knowledge might be gleaned on the next knob turn! Clockwise or counterclockwise?

The brisk cold winter wind pushed the cold air from east to west, west to east and all around. Some days it seemed the cold would eat us and spit us back out with never a consideration that the humans counted for anything in this world. Perhaps the cold was correct in this evaluation. We’ve not paid heed to the nature of this place. We’ve not taken care when we should. Taking everything for granted, as if everything will always be here, will feed us and nurture us seems a motto of some humans. There are some smart folks who know what respect and love are all about. They love their home and protect it, or try to protect the earth from those scaves who are hell bent on destroying the elements for a buck, a peso, a euro or a franc.
