Your Peace Still Remains!

Happy Memorial Day!

The memories of those who paid the most upon the sacrificial altar of freedom bear witness to love, preserving a lifestyle for those of us who may not be worthy to benefit from their honor.

The cost of a nation's preservation is revealed in the bravery and resilience of her population's dexterity to seize the moment and harness opportunities while celebrating the greatness of things yet to become manifest to the naked eye, or the conceptualized of a mortal's psyche.

The best is yet to come. There is always a hurt, frustration, and question dangling to become resolved. Sometimes the answers are not ours to know, explain, investigate, or understand.

The horror and madness of asking "Why?"

The researched revealing, "There never was a 'Definitive why?'"

Life reveals the blessings of each new day.

He or she who is willing to overlook history with compass coordinates obtained through knowledge, intellect, healthy memory, strategical foresight, and wisdom reveal repercussion's action plans offering the best chances or alternatives for a better tomorrow and prosperous long term future.

Friends remain by the compassion of oversight.

Healing is obtained by the activities sustaining the peaceful.

Immortality obtained by influences upon the variable reveal significantly more than the calculated sum of all expenses.

Gone, but never forgotten is the hero who looked hell in the eye and when asked "Whom shall we send?" replied "Send me."

Fond Recollections And Costs Of Freedom!

Sacrifice, honor, courage, commitment, class, grace, endearing, and brave. The preceding terminolgy for decription are earned through blood, sweat, and tears. The frequently eternal costs accrued to the Armed Forces is the human capital of the past, present, and future veteran. This is incalculable when or where presented the human capacity to ascertain, conceptualize, and entirely comprehend.

The eyes close as if trying to thwart the scortching heat of a searing sun. With eyes wide opened in a gaze yielding the reflection of one or a combination of many thousands of thoughts, perceptions, and realities. Photographic imagery puchased seemingly through the exchange of one's soul and through the mirage of truths, lies, misinformation, unknowns, and uncertainties. Visions of horror reflecting the realistic, the here and now, and potential alternatives assault the mind irreverently. Minutes are exchanged for hours, hours subsequently become days turning into weeks, and the blur of it all calculates into years. Ageless reels which often play continuously. There are no deviations no intermissions and more discovery as time and environmental factors torment the mind and sacrifice the soul mercilessly stealing today, tomorrow, family, friends, and professions.

Boons Of Wealth, Knowledge, and Experience, by Thomas Collins Jr.

Upon looking at life and situation many adhere to certain perceived norms. We feel things in our own sphere of influence are or tend to be the most socially economical and cerebral of all the things imaginable until the boon of wealth, knowledge, and experience appears almost as real mirages before our eyes. The things, people, and encounters that can tell us, teach us, and prove to us our textbook experiences are hogwash and our future be all and end all is nothing but monkey play and calculated encounters and experiences , though held dear, in the sphere of probability and statistics.

The old world knowledge, scene, and experience is often lost in the melee of complex and strategical interactions of the here and now. Our interactions with the past and our engagementto seek out solutions to the world around us abound within and among our aged population and in resources they have left us. Their expertise, knowledge, and influence bear witness to their resilience, adaptability, and ingenuity. Their structures, ideas, and advancements can be seen from personal pleasantries to tools of necessity and instruments and structures of innovation.

Actions in the warfare of current times in counteraction of times gone past in relation to modern style, culture, and seemly old world simplicity are ever engaging in conflict and homogeneity. Arguably our advancements for debatable betters in easing our toils in combination with the freeing of time often bring us to a point where the norms of yesterday are all but pleasant glances as we vacation in a place set as time for their recognition and seeking. For many gone are the days of the wobbly table of grandpa made with love durable as steel over time and fixable by coaster placement from the scant necessity. These rustic and modern amenities turned creations of comfort make and made our life oddly more comforting and efficient even if cumbersome.
