Pardon me while I think out loud...
"Love" is not simply a word. Or even an exact expression. It is almost indefinable it its true essence. But there is no mistaking it, as it permeates the smallest blades of grass and the grandness of The Universe, God or no gods. We can't hold it, own it or create it. Love is only available to borrow for our own hearts to share, or it is useless. And I don't care how you might argue, Love and its eternal companions, Forgiveness and Compassion, can be found in the very same beasts that must kill one another to simply survive. Mankind is not innocent of that necessity, nor holds exclusive rights to the higher or lower orders of behavior. Love is not perfection. I believe that is the only way it can be within Us. But it tells no secrets, does it? It only resides if invited, but then in so many attempts to work its harmony to our own individual music. To make us better than we are. To hold our Prodigal Sons close again. To bring the better angels of our humanity to understanding. And then to wonder, "What is this?".

When The Colors Fade...
..and they always will, the tones are now more subtle than the first day, but then the whole takes on a new character of beauty, of age and time and too much sunlight. Then, it's gone. It will always be this way.
Getting To Know You...
And that's nice.
Fire, Tears, Vomit and Kittens.
I believe the greatest qualities of being Human are Compassion and Forgiveness. Oh, and a Sense of Humor. I'm in the news business. Years ago I watched a woman vomit on my shoes as she randomly leaned over in front of me and cried and cried and screamed and threw up and cried some more (You know, all those things one does when their life is vaporizing before one's eyes) and I gazed at her family's home as it burned to the ground 200 hundred feet away. I was only there as a reporter, but you seldom get the luxury of just "being there". This incredibly overwhelmed woman continued her outpouring and then I picked her up a bit (not heroicall
