   > Happy for you that you personal world is still peaceful.   
      
   Thank you... I appreciate your happiness for me.   
      
      
   > On second thought.....   
   > Wasn't it you who's familymember had a bullet through the window of   
   > his car?   
      
      
   Indeed it was. My sisters husband, my brother in-law. Five Bullets.   
      
      
   > So what is up Eldon, you are so great to call others   
   > delusional........   
      
      
   Thou sayest, not I.   
      
      
   > How about your own dreams of denial and pink goggles?   
      
      
   Hahaha, rbb... You slay me... lol   
   My world, the world around me here, my immediate surroundings is peaceful.   
   This does not mean I do not lock my doors at night.   
      
   "Believe and love the lord thy God   
   but lock your doors at night,   
   and draw near thy children."   
      
   And I realize people are getting killed left and right all over this great   
   planet of ours, that we indeed live in an insane world.   
      
   But right now, as I look around where I am standing... everything is quiet.   
   People are sleeping, children are safe.   
   It dioesn't mean Dan Lafferty didn't stab a two year old in her crib with a   
   bouy knife while she looked up at him happily.   
      
      
   >   
   > You see this is a world with a lot of contrast.... and that is the   
   > real beauty of it.   
      
      
   It's funny, you criticize me for commenting on how peaceful the setting is   
   where I stand, and how it is even more so when I don't look too much further   
   than the three square miles of Gresham Oregon where I have no more need to   
   travel beyond these days. Everything I need, I can find within three square   
   miles of here, including my livelihood. It's nice, it's sweet, it's   
   peaceful. I am enjoying it.   
      
   Young men are dying worldwide so I can enjoy this freedom and live in   
   peace...   
   God Bless their brave souls... God speed...   
      
   But when I comment on quieting the television   
   and foregoing the papers... I am chistized?   
   All the nervous worry in this anxious world, sadly,   
   will not bring your friend back,   
   and I am sorry you must grieve their loss,   
   my sweet, sweet rbb, my elysian heart, my peace of mind.   
   Why not chastize the killers, the rapists,   
   the one's who bring harm?   
   What have I done but to point to the peaceful,   
   in the midst of this planetary chaos?   
   But to love you,   
   for you always already are...   
      
   I avoid those anxious, fear-driven people   
   as much as possible.   
   Maybe someday they will find me,   
   but up unto this defining moment in time   
   When I sit for my lunch in the busy cafe,   
   and the bomb explodes within feet of me...   
   the world will be at peace...   
      
   and after I am gone the insane world will still be floating   
   anonymously in a sea of a thousand quadrillion trillion stars.   
   And the flowers will burst a new every year.   
   And the birds in the trees will sing.   
   Then the red hawk will drive it's claws into the sparrow   
   and eat her organs   
   so it may live another day.   
   But the Sparrow must die and with its death   
   So must all it's hopes and dreams.   
      
   And the summer breeze will cool the brows of the millions   
   as the bells of the chapel will chime, in sympathy   
   And the 57-year old devout mormon polygimists   
   will take another 12 year old girl from her willing parents   
   as his 14th wife   
   only to immediately molest and abuse her   
   impregnating her and driving her to total obidience.   
   Under the Banner of God.   
      
   While the Prophet Uncle Roy commands   
   with an iron fist the souls and every nuance   
   of the lives if his congregation,   
   shelling out inconceivable consequences   
   to anyone who is even remotely disobediant   
   of the his particular version of the laws of God..   
      
   And the whole universe is mad,   
   Asteroids are hitting planets everywhere,   
   men are constantly receiving nation altering revelations from God himself...   
   and at the same time the mighty seas can seem peaceful   
   and the world where we stand can seem serene..   
      
   I ask you,   
   which will you fixate on?   
      
   I love you,   
   be with me...   
   Until it is time for life   
   to sweep everything   
   even who we are...   
   forever away...
