A Matter Of Time
It is just a matter of time and what
concerns me today, Saturday in October 2015 will sort itself out and just fade
away. My optimism about such things is
helped out by a little chardonnay at breakfast, sizzling bacon and an overdose
of multiple vitamins, which my doctor says is old fashion. Nobody takes multiple vitamins.” He said.
I don’t believe him, but hey.
Respect the right to have your own thoughts and opinion. I am from that school of orientation. As for what keeps me on my game, it’s a
personal thing and each body has its own rules for optimal operations. It is but a matter of time and I will be
starting over, without a body to keep me contained. The universe will be my home and my neighbors
a pile of dust off the edge of Saturn.
How good is that. It is just a
matter of time that I will lose my mind and the truth just is.
A matter of time gives hope to the idea
that there is a temporary solution to all the things that concern me
today. Not much on my mind today, as it
is Saturday and my –give-it-a-rest day.
Seems off if you consider a busy Saturday for most, what with grocery
shopping and chores and not being at work.
Not sure what it is I want to convey in this blog. Will give it some thought and come back with
answers and content, once the morning wine and bliss is just a fading memory.
Started with 3 blog titles during
this week, but didn’t get around to completing any of them. Now it is the weekend and I have a lull in
activity. Now I have leisure time and
nothing forcing me to make crucial choices.
Tomorrow is football day, and I get so distracted, and writing or
thinking or just being serene and focused is all but impossible. So if it happens now, this makes me
happy. Blogs happen over time, and can
be like a long conversation. I do ask myself if all my blogs sounds the
same, and aren’t really isolated or differentiated by title or topic. Suspect that it is just a matter of time,
when the novelty of it all wears off, and it is second or first nature, to
click on and move on and maybe not even return.
So much material and so many sources
for content, and it just a matter of time before we are replaced, as the
favorite flavor in our cupboard of tastes.
Have been doing all of this for a long time now, and I am good with the
very notion of obsolescence. Is why I am
enjoying my retirement years without forcing myself to write another book. If I write, it might come down to be the last
remaining trace of the things we did in our prime, like writing something that
could be published commercially. Truth
is the writing always came first. Making
money was something that happened as part of the process.
I have 3 manuscripts that I tell
myself, I should complete, and tell
myself to master the discipline to repeat how it was, just yesterday. But I don’t have my priorities in the proper
order to do serious writing, from beginning to end. And yes,
have substituted a lot of blogging for serious writing, and so it
is. Happens, and it is just a matter of
time, until we make peace with such things.
And I have.
The way things are going for me, has
me saying; “ I am blessed.” And will
leave it that way, without fouling the air with too much detail. Am happy that The New York Mets are playing
for a World Series Baseball title. Of
course there is another team involved and it is a sports event, with lots of
gambling going on. Pick a favorite and
wage some money, is the process that goes along with an event of this size and
nature. Human nature to have a favorite
and let it show. Has been a long season
and now is time to just let it show. Two
best teams playing for bragging rights, and anybody who follows Stoney blogger
over time, knows: Sports Nut. But before this is over I will say. “Good Luck METS.” Now am having flashbacks to 1969.
1969 and am now wondering why this
has importance for me. Too long ago to
be part of today’s conversation in 2015.
So what that the NY Mets are playing in the World Series. It happens, so don’t dominate the
conversation with things we are not interested in. Point taken, but I am not off-track and will
tie it in to this blog theme, by saying:
“Its just a matter of time.”
Eventually he returns to a stream of consciousness that includes the
past-the present-and the future as one expression. So NY Mets and the Mets win the world
Series. World Champions and it remains a
favorite benchmark in the passage of events and time. Get over it.
But its not that simple.
I won’t elaborate nor bore you with
too much detail. 1969 and America was
working its way through an involvement in VietNam. Old hat, much like Iraq and middle east
involvements of the last 25 years. So
its only important because I was busy normalizing my life, getting educated and
settling in with love and marriage and looking optimistically to something
other than America in War. Matter of
Time and I would see the pattern. But
even back then I had an escapist mind and mentality. So I made a big deal about The METS winning the 1969 World Series.
And here I am years later on a serene
Saturday day of rest, experiencing a flashback.
Doing so without triggering agonizing trauma. Have enough instances of all of this and the
experience to just let it go, if it turns out to be too much. Baseball and New York teams. Yes this could trigger agonizing trauma for
the rest of America, who have no true interest in all things East of the Hudson
River. And so it is time to change the
subject. World Series and October
Baseball. “Change The Channel.” She said.
Is how I will end this blog. But first I wanted to tell you this. 1969 Major League Baseball season was
celebrated as the 100th anniversary of professional baseball. And did you know, the Miracle Mets became
the first expansion team to win a pennant?
No big deal now, but back then I was trying to erase the imprints of war
around me, and make myself think that anything was possible. And so will stop with that thought at the
top. Be optimistic. Good things are possible. 2015.
Now wait for it. Its just a
matter of time. More proof. Life is good.
