So much has happened since I last wrote a blog post it is difficult to know where to begin. The
world seems to be growing ever more dark and terrifying. Still I am not afraid.
I do sometimes feel a sense of dread and then I remember that is how some evil
people want me to feel and I choose to feel something else. Sometimes I don’t
know what to feel or what to think. Sometimes I just want to go somewhere,
anywhere, far from here, far from my life, and my self, and this place. I
ceaselessly have the feeling of far-away in my blood as if I was actually born
a nomad or one of the Romani. It is so easy to see the gathering darkness and
often so hard to hold on to the light. It would be easy to give in to despair
and sadness. It would also be cowardly. I just can’t seem to choose the easy
way, not anymore…if I ever did. My heart is sore troubled not for what is
coming as much as for what was lost to us. I wonder if we will ever get it back
at all; all that amazing mystical quality once held by all of life? I wonder if
our nation will ever be the glorious place it once was before the two party
system destroyed it? I wonder how we will defeat the ever growing tides of
islamization taking hold of our world and turning it into a place of darkness?
I wonder if we can stop the spread of the evil tyranny known as sharia law? I
have to believe that one day we will take our nation and our planet back. I
look around with great sadness that atheism is also taking root in so many
young lives and destroying their souls and the soul of our planet. Idiots like
richard dawkins are leading them to a path of evil, sorrow, and eventually the
pain of loneliness and the void of hell. I have to believe that there are also
beautiful tides of Spirit growing out in the world, not only in my system of
belief, but of others as well. I am encouraged by the uprising of things like
Buddhism and Paganism. I know that sounds strange for a Christian to say, but
it gives me hope to know that there are still people who are seeking Spirit in
their own way and that can only be a good thing.
For a long time it seems as if the focus of this blog has
changed. It got me some followers and it helped give me another type of purpose.
Having said that, I do not want the entire point of the blog to shift focus. This
blog was made as a way of talking about my exploration of Spirit as it is
moving through the world today. The books and my advertising of them was not
meant to take away from that but add to it; by showing that the arts are still
alive and well. Also several of the books have been male on male romance novels
and this was done to point out that freedom for all queer people is coming
about no matter how slowly. I am saddened that queer people in this nation have
been lied to by the democratic party and that many of them are now helping in
their own possible destruction by standing up for islam and sharia law which
seek to destroy us. At least the republican party and all its off shoots hate
us openly and do not lie about it. Why are people so stupid as to be involved
with either party any more? Why can’t we care more about our nation, and less or
not at all about party politics? In the end it is anti-American in my point of
view, to belong to a two party system. I believe we should have no parties, just
patriotism; or if we are going to have parties at least have seven that can
keep us in line.
I have not abandoned this blog, I have just been so caught
up in becoming an Author myself. I am getting ready to publish my first book
under my own name, and several titles under my children’s book pen-name; not to mention my adult work. I do
need to find an illustrator to work with.
Although the focus of the blog has not changed, neither will
the book posts go away either. I have never made a secret of my love of
literature. If I can find a website to buy that meets all of my needs, all of
my blogs will be transferred to it, just to let everyone know.I am hoping to start an official publishing site that will also sell books for indie-authors.
On another note in case I forgot to blog about it, I finally
after a life time of wanting a legal name change obtained one for my self. I
have a new name. It is mine and no one can ever take it away. My Name and my
Love are what I have to take with me at the end of life and all that I can
really ever leave behind as a gift to the world. I will attempt to live in such
a way that I can be proud and make God and my ancestors proud of what I did
with this gift called life. That is my Solomon vow. I promise to try and Love
more each and every day and reflect God’s light to the world. I am not perfect
and my walk with Spirit will not be or look perfect. It will, I am sure be
fraught with hardships, disappointments, imperfections, mistakes, and plenty of
stumbling off the path... only to try and find my way back to it. That I feel is
as it should be. It is after all how we as human beings learn, and evolve, and
grow.
My family has come under tremendous financial hardships.
Many of these hardships were caused directly by the horrific administration
“led” by barak obama and his evil cohorts. And let’s face it people, health care
freedom is over and has been replaced by the forced tyranny of socialism. The
world of politics grows ever more terrible by the day. There is a war raging,
against men, women, and children; against Christians and Jews, and Gai people,
and white people. Will we stand against it? Or will we let it rob us of all our
freedoms? We have lost so many of our freedoms already.
Still….still…I cling to hope! It is a life preserver while
being lost in this sea of national and global confusion. I hope that one day
people will see what is right and act accordingly to enact it and protect it; and even more importantly to live it.
It seems a very large world and I am just one little (or not
so little lol) man. I often feel like Bilbo Baggins. What can one so small do
against such great odds? Then I remember the end of the story for Bilbo and his
favorite nephew Frodo. I have heard it said both in life and in literature, and also in
film... that one rain drop raises the ocean. I know this to be true. One person
really can make a difference, even if just by speaking out and taking a
stand. Even if just by bearing witness. Bearing witness is no small thing. It
is such a very important thing indeed. To bear witness is a powerful act!
Thank you to all of you who were, and still are here for
helping me to bear witness, and for knowing that it is right to do so, and helping me to know that
I am not standing alone. Even if we all just bear witness, the fact we are
doing it together means something very real and very vital. We are being the
change we want to see. For that I am thankful. For that my heart is full!
Blessed Be.
