blues

blues must be a universally human experience

an entire genre of music is dedicated to them

what's the purpose tho

they seem to come out of nowhere

and are difficult to shake

even if you look around and tell yourself

you have tons for which to be thankful

altho I have never been quite sure just who it is I am supposed to thank

and, if you can pull yourself up enough to look at yourself

you would say

buck up

cut the crap

quitchurwhining

life is not allaboutyou

you still get stuck in the swirl of them

the heaviness of them

the life looks like shit of them

with no end in sight...

a small part of me knows that eventually

the fuse that is blown or the breaker that has broken

will get the attention necessary to make things light again

put the workorderindammit

quote

With or without religion,

you would have good people doing good things

and evil people doing evil things.

But for good people to do evil things,

that takes religion.

- Steven Weinberg

A Day with my Brother

My brother is a good sport. I kept asking him to join me at a CrossFit class and he agreed to come yesterday morning. He also agreed to do all that the class asked him to do and he did it well and with grace.

Then we went to breakfast, joined for a quick bite by O.

We took a trip to Berkeley in search of something for a quilt I am working on - bounced around Berkeley Bowl for a bit. Located C to say hi.

Back at the ranch for more good convo with R, some baseball watching and some eats.

Bro - love you so, thanks for a perfect Saturday.
