Just Drinking
A lot of drinking just occurred but I’m not addressing that I wish to deal with the great drink of life the drinking we do of one another
They tell how great scotch is determined and known by the stream beds that it passes over maybe we will get back to the rocks
The same way with grapes for wine they choose hard ground the kind that makes the vines struggle it produces the tastiest wine
Like it or not we are a race of discrimination we know what is good and we know when something is cheap other words we have taste
This never happens for a reason a person doesn’t set out to live a perfect life what bland useless results would happen if you tried
To order everything into a sterile clean environment they have a lot of words depicting that kind of a life and none are good we don’t
Care or like trouble but it’s the sand the grit that makes the pure and richest pearls we drink so much in a person their outward life
Comes from hidden springs from within and that is the constant surging of streams that converge mingle change enrich and then
Flow on till the next encounter heartache storms in your life these are the head waters all else flows in behind this makes life worth
Living if everything was perfect and saccharine sweet we would be a bunch of dolts it would be like a world of sameness all white no
Color no verifiable difference no need to worry from each life there has been a tempering process a refining a class not perfectly
Defined but seen wondered about and enjoyed the greatest word would be their stimulating the time you spend with them there life
Flows through your eyes and ears into deep recesses of the soul stirred blessed refreshed even refracted bends blends seeks at times
Depths this can’t come from a guarded unlived life but one who knows the byways knows about the tangle wood knows doubts fears
Fought through them you are giving this transference it’s not always upfront verbal out in the open but its life experience cloaked in
Shadow it moves between two hearts imperceptibly but that is its great worth it will raise in quiet thought and a smile will break in
Unexpectedly we also like to figure out things use our brains mindless is for some other creatures not us we have consolations in our
Beings as great and diverse as the consolations that hold the stars yes we live in normal surroundings no one believes that is all there is
If they do how diminished is their thinking well springs flowing out in great torrents is the reality we are stories with high drama people
Of consequence we change the world in increments we increase the value of earth’s existence the division of death is sad and painful
For us left here but they instantly receive immortal thoughts immortal deeds they cast about in unknown worlds their value and
Promise is now uninhibited no longer restricted or confined to the features of this world everything you saw and loved in them
Resounds through the heavens which was their destiny and ours celebrate their elevation throw your soul into that flow here and now
Cast yourself into the howling wind it is only fierce because so much is going on in a grander scale drink my friends from the waters
That have no end be awed be overwhelmed flow away prematurely into your future loved ones are there you are predominate in their
Minds and hearts don’t except or believe your life is one that is to be stymied no it is without limits floor it remember the exhilaration
Its up to you what you get is determined by you safe living is not living
