the reason

When I began blogging, I chose a name and started it without a great deal of forethought. I didn't do much with it for almost a year. In August of '05, I got more into what blogging could be and began regularly writing. When I decided to stop writing that blog, I saved the posts to my hard drive and deleted it. Its name was claim jumped by one of those who take blog names not to use (at least not at that time) but for some obscure reason. I didn't care as I planned to use a new name when I began again.

For anyone who thinks numerology is goofy, the following will not make sense, but the original name I had chosen has a numerology value that presents a challenge to my soul and life path number-- something I never gave a thought to when I chose that name. Heck, I never thought of it when I chose the second name. Whether this kind of thing makes sense to you or not, the soul number for the blog I now write is my soul number which means no conflict.

Interestingly enough, this extra blog, which I had taken to preserve the original words, it is a number which is also in harmony with my soul number.

I am sure there are many people writing blogs that have numerology conflicts and they are doing just fine with it. I did not knowingly delete my first blog for this reason, but once I became more knowledgeable about numerology, I got curious if that was why the original name was not quite right for me. I don't know. I only observe such things to wonder about.

So what follows are the archived writings from the original blog. I decided to make this blog public because they were ideas I believed in when I wrote them and still do.

Hello 'Rain'...

Well... with every intention of accomplishing a few things this morning- I found myself drawn aside to your blog ( ..I'm still trying to get used to that word! )- and your thoughts archived there. Telling myself I would only 'glaze' over it quickly I kept being pulled back by thoughts and phrases with which there resides coinsidence with me... or maybe better to simply say- matters that "coinside"! (?) Sprituality... and all the bits about age.. and aging- and moreso the complete mystery that an awake and self-identified ageless soul must face with slack-jawwed wonder!!!

WAS SHARING WITH NAOMI ON THE SUBJECT(s) JUST A COUPLE WEEKS AGO... TELLING HER I TURNED 60 MYSELF LAST SEPTEMBER 4th... BUT HOW MY SOUL SEEMS TO HAVE CEASED TO AGE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 17 & 19 (?) AND ONLY WONDERS HOW IT BECAME ENTANGLED IN THIS OLD TRAIN-WRECK... STUPIFIED AT THE VAPOROUS QUALITIES OF "TIME". . . AS IF HUNDREDS OF FEET OF FILM FRAMES DROPPED TO THE CUTTING-ROOM FLOOR- AND SOMEHOW I WAS PROPELLED FROM 17 TO 60 IN ONE BLINK!!! I'M TEMPTED TO COMPLAIN... TO SAY IT'S UNFAIR; AND YET, THANKFUL FOR EVERY DAY ABOVE GROUND I ONLY HOPE TO DO MY BEST WITH ALL THATS LEFT. SO MANY VENUES LEFT TO BE PLAYED- SO LONG AS THIS KID CAN COAX THE OLD CAT TO ONE MORE GIG! THERE'S A PASSAGE IN THE O.T. THAT SAYS GOD SAVES OUR TEARS IN A BOTTLE... SO I HOPE, JUST MAYBE THERE'S ANOTHER BOTTLE HE DID'NT MENTION?.. WHERE HE SAVES ALL OUR GOOD DAYS, MEMORIES AND DREAMS! AT THE END ALL THE FRAMES ARE REPLACED, AND HE HANDS ME THE WHOLE REEL BACK!? MIGHT SOUND NUTTY... BUT RATHER THAT THAN WINGS & LYRE!!

I dunno. I've pondered the quite possible consequences of one "...acting their age." Even the terminology suggests something not quite genuine when I think about it. But then there are detractors (...even slinking about among my own beloved family, relatives & friends! )- who think of me as un-developed or immature inwardly... if not simply silly and in denial. The thing is- I know all-too-well that I am a physically aging man!... but my heart has simply never been all that interested , or has never quite seen the urgency about "growing up".

Pardon me going on! I was just stirred by some of what you have said on the matters of age- and a heart not quite going along? Maybe I go too far... but my own heart, or soul is plainly NOT getting older!!

Much to say on the spiritual... but perhaps more later? Suffice to say I am a Christian with "fundamental" up-bringings; which includes all the baggage the term begs!... but wearied of churches rife with gimmicks & entertainment to keep souls coming and awake... and the weight of being about everyone elses business but my own! Still a big enough task to walk my own walk- without casting myself a guide to the blind!! Still trying to grasp the faith's maxim "...to love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, soul, mind and strength." In truth God get less than 1% of any given day- and so, how to love Him? My biblical mentor: the cat in the gospel of Luke who said ( to Jesus )- "...Lord I believe- help me in my un-belief!"

Forgive my ramblin's Rain! Thanks too for visiting my "blues" blog!! Till next time...

Lord hug you tight... - Butchie

Spiritual beauty never fades as it isn't subjected to the ravages of time. I feel the female energy is the most spiritual and the most beautiful.

I am also a believer in an eventual world matriarchy to counter the evil done by centuries of patriarchal rule.

The spirit of motherhood is nurturing and peaceloving. Before the world is destroyed by war-loving and greedy men, the women must save the world.

Hi Rain
Just wanted to drop by and thank you for your comment on Clairz' blog
The Zees Go West - re mental illness. It's surely true that if we don't talk about these things people will never understand and those afflicted will continue to suffer unfairly because we will be able to ignore their plight.
Let's keep the ball rolling!

Wow, reading your pages was like reading some of my own, I could just as easily have written them. It's incredible the similarity between our inner lives. I understand so much of the emotion that you experience. I'd like to comment more, but it's almost 2am, so best get to sleep... but I will come back, it's nice to know someone else is feeling the same things.

Peace...
