Today in the wee hours God spoke to me. God said," Make me happy, and you shall not want for anything". I was tickled, still am. Today is Thanksgiving. I'm sitting in my aunts apartment waiting for the festivities to begin. Waiting to pray, get served and eat until I'm fat,dumb and happy. That's unbelievable comfort in this time of recession.
It is in times like this that the familys worth shines thru, more precious than gold. If the meaning of family wasn't so perennial, I'd be moved to tears out of appreciation. Yet family is the one thing we fallback on in trying times. When we forget that,"The rhythm of breathing is a constant accompaniment to life" ( meditation ).
This is a time when reflection is most appreciated. When we remember those that were in our lives , but no longer are. Micheal Jackson, Edward Kennedy, Bea Authur, Elsie Scott ( grandmother ), Roberto Gayle ( brother ), et.al. You can add to the list. Libations, libations, for those that have past, for one day we too will be added to that list. Family, family will be all that's left.
I guess I'm saying in these times be grateful, be thankful, for the little things. For it's not the times that we live in that we remember, it's the moments.
Eat and be fat,dumb and happy.
Happy Thanksgiving, Divine US.
