a pile of snow with a mountain in the background: APTOPIX Everest Death

The World’s highest peak that is mount Everest is a mere 29,029 feet, but what is even more important is the death zone of that mountain, the zone where you need to be prepared and totally know of what you are doing is 26,000 feet, at the death zone elevation is where anything can happen and you need to be hyper-vigilant of your surroundings at all times, not too mention what is happening to yourself in the way of elevation changes as well. There is no messing around hiking this mountain and at no time, should this mountain be used as a conversation piece to brag to others that, ” I have done something you haven’t”. even those in the most tip top shape have struggled hiking this mountain, simply because the elevation is the biggest factor in being totally prepared to hike this mountain.

Hiking this mountain and being above the 26,000 elevation mark is, kind of like a diver in the ocean going below a certain depth, the diver gets what is known as the Bends, when he surfaces he then has to get within a decompression chamber to decompress from the ” decompression sickness”, from ascending to quickly, even with the oxygen or the nitrogen in their tanks they still get this sickness, which is something that nobody climbing mount Everest even thinks about when they climb the worlds highest peak.

Right now the deaths on mount Everest is at an all time high and the Government of Nepal is not even thinking of making any changes to the rules? Right now if you show up with the $11,000 they will issue a permit to you, without even checking your mountaineering skills, or even the health condition of your present self, it is like all things today and about the money, especially for the small country of Nepal looking to survive within today’s world.

I put the blame squarely on all the social media platforms out there and the fact that people hike within areas without being totally prepared, just to gain a bigger presence on these platforms with more followers. Let’s look at a page on Facebook for instance, this page is called I hiked the 4,000 footers club in New Hampshire, this page has people posting pictures and bragging of their hike, with a lot of these hikers, not wearing the proper foot gear, or even carrying the proper equipment to be ready for whatever they may encounter, let’s go one step further here and the fact that, there is not enough adequate parking for all, so they park on the side of an interstate highway, just so they can put pictures up on their Facebook page or whatever social media platform they are using. Hiking anywhere within the white mountains of New Hampshire you need to be prepared for anything, especially the sudden changes in the weather, it can and will snow on the top of mount Washington in the summer and when you can’t find the trail because of the snow, then you need maybe a compass and even be able to see where you are just by looking at the sky, or just maybe remember your surroundings for the return trip. I noticed on my hikes a lot of times, people are looking in front of them for a trail marker and not looking at what is around them? What happens if that marker is not there for whatever reason? What do you do then? When you are above the tree line you see a pile of rocks, what are they? And what are they called? They are Carns and they mark the trail for you to follow.

This picture of the people climbing mount Everest, what is the biggest problem of this picture? If you said the line of people and being way to close to each other, you are 100% correct, because if one of them misstep and fall, now you have a domino effect of all going down and with the cliffs on both sides……………. Well with common sense you can see what is going to happen there. Even with the oxygen they are breathing from the tanks on their backs, that is still not enough at the altitude they are in, then you add in the fact that, when these people get to the top they want to take a ” selfie” and most definitely, they want people to see who they are in the picture, so they then take off the mask of oxygen for the picture, but they don’t realize that, even the seconds that the mask is off, is seconds to long at that elevation. Your body at that elevation is already changing and parts of the body is shutting down, because we are not cut out for this type of rigorous endeavor, no matter how much in shape you think you are? Just like all the deaths happening on mount Everest, there are deaths happening in the white mountains of New Hampshire, simply because people are embarking on these hikes without being properly prepared, for what ever might cross their paths, whether it’s the proper foot gear, to enough water to stay hydrated, or even the proper snacks for protein, or even carrying the right gear in the pack, just in case your stuck in a weather condition that changes drastically, no matter what the hike, you need to be well prepared and ready for anything that you may encounter along your path, of any journey you embark on.

” Be prepared is the biggest of the Boy Scout’s motto and something we all need to adhere to within the journey of life”

” A traffic jam of people on the worlds tallest peak, is something that should never be and dangerous for all stuck within the traffic jam”

” Just because you have $11,000 should never be all it takes to hike the worlds tallest peak”

” Social media platforms are being used in a way they were never designed to be used, because we the people misuse everything we touch without thinking through the ramifications of our actions”

From cool, to beauty, to fury………..

Close Encounters of the third kind? More like Close Encounter with Mother Nature is more like it. Yes these clouds are cool looking, but they truly show how, that Mother Nature can go from total beauty, to total destruction in the blink of an eye. Never cross Mother Nature as she can totally unleash her fury on everything around her and nothing will stop her.

I have hiked Mount Washington in New Hampshire many times and with those times, I have seen as well the true beauty that mountain holds, plus all the different weather conditions that cruise over the summit of the mountain. Those weather conditions are the actions of Mother Nature flexing her muscles, changing the landscape of the Earth, by washing and cleaning all that we see and all that is around us. A lot of the change that comes to us, as we walk our paths of this journey, comes directly from Mother Nature, those Tulips you planted from a seed in your garden and are now in full bloom as a beautiful flower, that is directly from Mother Nature, as she has watered with the tear drops from heaven, or for you and me, the rain that is raining upon the Earth during the month of April.

Mother Nature is full of many changes all around us, some come with great destruction, as well as some with the soft touch of love, showing her true beauty to us all. When you get out and explore all that Mother Nature has in store for us, you can come to appreciate all that is around you better, so when you see the destructive part of Mother Nature, you than can come to respect her just as well, knowing that in an instant, all that you have can be wiped clear, as you then start anew, along your path of this journey through life.

Just as Mother Nature can flip that switch of being so beautiful one minute, we to can flip that same switch the next minute and as we see what we see around us today, you can clearly see we have lost control of that switch, with all the ugliness and hatred around us, which is similar to the wrath of Mother Nature, unleashing that beauty into an all out fury, on whatever is in her way, we do the same thing on each other and we don’t even know we are doing it, until we wake up and realize of what we are doing. The actions of mother nature and the actions of each of us, are all part of this journey, we just have to know when to get out and explore all that is around us, so we than can have a deep respect for what is around us, without not truly seeing and feeling what is around us, then taking an action of destruction, instead an action of love, showing the true beauty that is truly around us.

” The beauty is right there in front of us, we need to get out and explore to truly see it”

” The many faces of mother nature, just like the many faces of each of us”

” Mother Nature knows when to unleash her fury as she washes and cleans all that is around us”

” Unlike mother nature we have lost control of that switch, which we can clearly see by all the ugliness and hatred all around us”

The Camping Time Zone

With camping season upon us once again, you are now entering into another dimension, a dimension that puts you into a whole different zone, a zone known as the camping zone, which also comes with it’s own time zone, the time zone you are now on as you are camping within nature is known as, ” Camp Time”!!!

When you are on camp time, you just go with the flow of the day, without being pressured into any set time, like within the 9 to 5 where everything is measured by time, even as you sit to take a lunch break. Time is money is all you hear within the 9 to 5, well within the camp time, it’s about relaxing and doing when you feel like doing, sitting back and totally enjoying what’s around you, like the sounds of nature which are soothing and calming, if only the 9 to 5 time was more like the camp time, then just maybe, as we walk our paths through this journey, we could do so with less stress and with less stress, maybe we would all get along and totally share the love within, with each other every day.

This picture is what true camping is about, a little speck of land within the true beauty of nature. The lake, the mountains, the wilderness, all this and more as you become one with nature and totally unwind from the daily 9 to 5. Within this picture is nothing but peace and serenity and as you become deep within camp time, you can clearly hear all the sounds of nature all around you, the sounds of nature vary day to day, but the one constant would be, being surrounded by the peace and serenity, as through that constant, the stress of the 9 to 5 melts from your body, the clouds within your mind then becomes clear and you see more deeply everything that is around you.

Just as the Twilight zone is fiction on television, the camp time zone is reality and puts you into a place that is real, a place where you can actually feel and touch everything around you, pitch a tent, set the camp site, now build a campfire, all that is left is to simply relax within nature and with each new day, embark on a different adventure within nature, then back at camp for the nightly meal and relaxing by the camp fire. Some may camp within a trailer on wheels, with the comforts of home, that is camping yes and depending on the location? When you are in a trailer park with a lot of people and many activities to do, this is not true camping, as now there is no ” Camp Time”, with each activity having you on their time zone, true camping is deep within the woods of mother nature, where the only activities are the ones you make up as you go, with the daily walks within nature on your camp time, let’s not forget that within the woods of mother nature and with less people, you are now surrounded with true peace and serenity, to listen to the true sounds of nature, so you can truly heal from the stress of the 9 to 5, let the stress melt from your body and the clouds within your mind disappear, as you see more clearly of everything around you. The body can not handle all the stress we feed to it, just that we never enter enough into the ” Camping Time Zone”.

” The camping time zone is real, unlike the the twilight zone on TV”

” This journey is not about being stressed all the time, stress is not healthy and will keep us from being truly of who we are”

” The mountains, the lake, the wilderness, the bear, the moose……….Oh My!!!!! ”

” Let’s all enter within the Camp Time Zone more often, become one with mother nature, letting this journey be more peaceful and happy”

Through the Eagles eyes

Power, Beauty, majestic, not too mention a keen eyesight to see clearly everything that is around him. The American Bald Eagle was picked to be our nations symbol for a reason, for when you look deeply into that reason, everything that the Eagle is, so we can walk our paths through this journey of life. To watch the Eagle fly through the skies with the greatest of ease and really, with zero effort at all, those big powerful wings flapping away to give him speed, as then with the wind currents, he glides a great distance as far as the eye can see. The Eagle is our symbol here in America, quite simply because, he mirrors all the same qualities of each of us, we to are powerful, beautiful, majestic and with such great vision, we can see far and near, we can see what is and then predict what is to be? The biggest difference between the Eagle and us is, they can fly through the great big blue yonder, as we need help from a plane or a helicopter.

Having great vision is key to truly seeing all that is around you, but the issue with us is the fact that we are all part of a society and what we bring to society, will shape what society will become. The society for which we live today is so screwed up, it is very hard to see clearly through all the clouds of each others judgments. Everybody has a view and we all think that our own view is the correct and right way, but if we all have the correct view, then which view is truly the correct one? What ever view has been good for you, may not necessarily be correct for another, simply because we are all not the same, yes we have some similarities, but we are more unique to each other than similar, the problem is, we do not use this uniqueness as we should, instead and even more so within this society, we would rather step on each other, bring great harm and pain to each other, just so we can appear to be more powerful than each other. Until we get off our high horse, this society will never change, we will keep attacking one another for really no reason at all, except the fact that we ourselves want to appear more powerful than anything else on this planet of Earth.

You have some within this society who are so blinded by the clouds of their judgments, they clearly can not see any true reality even if it bit them on the cheek, even further there are others who want to change what we are, change where we came from, why? I have no clue, except maybe that they themselves have been hurt so deep by something, that just maybe they are trying to hide everything that reminds them of that pain, as they try further to move forward with the fake self that they try to portray. What they do not understand is, you can never truly change what has happened, it will always be there, everything happens for a reason, it is up to us to find that reason, so we can make the necessary improvements, fix what we need to fix, as we than can truly move forward better and stronger. It is not our place to take away things in the past just because we want to, just because those things may remind ourselves of our ugliness, maybe those same things bring joy and happiness to another? It is not right to change things just because, this is not how true change works. True change is we adjusting ourselves to all that is around us, true change comes when we accept the what was, so we than can change what we need, fix what we need to fix, then take the proper steps moving forward, to be better and stronger with each step, as we all walk our paths through this journey of life.

” Jesus showed us how to accept true change and what would happen if we don’t, the choice is yours just don’t let it affect another”

” The Eagle may be sitting quietly, but he truly is very powerful with beauty as he soars the open skies”

” With great vision comes great strength, as we than can face anything head on, to truly accept change as we then become truly of who we are”

three tours in a hostile place, to find peace within nature

a tree in the middle of a lush green forest: This file photo shows the Appalachian Trail and the rural nature of the trail near the scene of the fatal attack Saturday May 11, 2019. This is about one mile from where the attack occurred. (Appalachian Trail Conservancy)

Such a tragedy in a place that, there is suppose to be peace and serenity, a place where you go to escape the ugliness? Although this poor Individual unexpectedly walked right into it. The Individual in question had served three tours in Iraq, came home not the same man he once was, he suffered from PTSD and depression, his wife says he would sleep all day and either watch TV, or play video games by night, the two had separated as he fell further into depression. Finally one day he wanted to truly find himself again, so he took to the trails of the Appalachian trail. This trail is supposed to be about peace and serenity, while you walk within nature, it helps you to clear your mind and feed your soul, it is not suppose to have any ugliness on the trail at all, but unfortunately, the ugliness found him in the form of an mentally deranged Individual.

This Soldier of three tours didn’t ask for this, as all he wanted was to truly find of who he once was, so he can continue moving forwarded better and stronger throughout this journey. Yes the person responsible was captured and brought to justice, but a little too late for this true American Veteran hero, as now he will never get that second chance, to be of truly who he really was.

Sometimes life just isn’t fair, this journey and all that happens within it, will bring great pain and hurt, this journey will turn us into someone we truly are not, with all the ugliness that is around us, most of the time it isn’t even our fault, as a lot of our pain and sufferings comes from another, or a situation that we have entered into. Then as we try to fix ourselves, it becomes even worse, as we then try to escape into a place where we think is safe, a place that has nothing but beauty all around at every turn, then unexpectedly, we are facing ugliness square in the eyes.

This tragic event within the trails of the Appalachian trail, should really of never happened, as this trail is within mother nature, with all the true beauty you can see far and near, when you plan this hike and take the first step on this great trail, the last thought in your head is any kind of ugly thought. There are many who hike, have hiked and will be hiking this trail, they do so because they have become lost on their path of this journey, they want to embark on a place, where they can clear the clouds of their judgments and truly get back to who they truly are. Depression no matter how you have entered within, will eat you from the inside out, while most of the time you hide deep within yourself and never let anybody in. The great Robin Williams is perfect example, as he brought us all to laughter, while he suffered deeply within, from this silent killer known as, ” Depression”. It can and will strike anybody and does not discriminate. Just like a member of the animal kingdom who prey on the weak for their next meal, so does a mentally deranged Individual prey on the weak, so they can feel more powerful, in their warped and twisted mind. The problem lies with our so called Leader’s who when they need more cash for their agendas, the first thing they cut is mental institutions, so now these Individuals have no where to turn, except maybe those who are around them and in a negative way, instead of a positive way. Yes in depression we don’t want others to know, nor do we not want to acknowledge, we have become victim of this depression, but when we take steps to fight it and instead we find the ugliness, this is what makes the actions so tragic, as we try to move forward better and stronger, along our paths of this journey through life.

” Go from three tours in a hostile place to, back home and try to be the same person you once was”

” The Appalachian trail is deep within mother natures beauty, the problem then lies with each of us turning to the ugliness and burying who we truly are”

We are better than that.

Pauley Perrette, AKA……….. Abby sciuto for 15 seasons on the number one T. V. show NCIS. I just read an article of her, plus seen some of her tweets recently and she talks about workplace abuse and because of some big machine, a very rich powerful publicity machine, that has kept her silent. This machine has been spreading lies and false stories, now what I read in the article or tweets, mentions no one by name, but the words ” big powerful publicity machine” could be a tell that, it’s none of the cast, but even bigger like a network top exec? like maybe a Harvey Weinstein type? We the people are our own worst enemies, we cheat, lie kill, hurt, mame each other to name a few, this is not of who we truly are and we all need to get out of the walls of denial, before it is too late and we all are gone from existence, gone from walking a path, not just within a society, but within this journey of life.

Pauley Perrette for those who do not know, I have seen her on some talk shows in the past and let’s just say………. she was as real on the show as she is in real life, she is a total sweat heart and would go out of her way to help you. Pauley in real life was a big activist on Bullying, but as I read in the article and got from her tweets, sounds like she was the one being bullied forced to keep quiet from a big, rich, publicity machine. Very sad thinking that here she is counseling others and she is the one being bullied? This is so sad and knowing this is going on everywhere, makes you wonder when, we as a society will grow up, be truly of who we are, so as we walk our paths through this journey of life, we can do so in the peace of Jesus Christ, to be as truly happy as we want to be, while we feel deeply inside our hearts and souls, the love of Jesus Christ, then share that love with each other, instead of all this hatred and ugliness, that does nothing but bring each of us much pain and hurt.

We the people can be as smart as anything and everyone throughout this universe, but with our actions of each other makes us so dumb and childish, that I only hope that someday in my lifetime, we can grow up and walk our paths as Jesus did, so we can see the light on the path of righteousness, so instead of bringing harm, hurt and pain to each other, we can share our love of ourselves with each other always. Now with all the ugliness and the Bullying out there, I really do not think that any of us even love ourselves? This is where it starts, we first have to love ourselves, then the love within will flow to all those around us, as then and only then, will all the ugliness, pain, and hurt disappear from this society. It is not rocket science, we are not building a rocket to go to Mars, we are only loving ourselves then sharing with each other, just as Jesus showed us when he came and walked his journey here with us. We the people of this society need to grow up, we need to escape the walls of denial and truly be of who we really are. Then just maybe we all can walk together as Jesus did, on the paths of our choosing, throughout this journey of life.

” Abuse of any kind, the bulling also should never be tolerated, to be truly of who we are on our paths of this journey”

” When we bully another all we are doing is, burying our own pain and hurt even deeper within, as we never acknowledge only keep pushing it away”

” Jesus never showed us this, as the bullying and abuse is totally on we the people”

” It is easier to take the actions of love from within, instead of putting on a fake face and taking the action of hatred and ugliness”

” As Robin Williams was quiet of his troubles, so to is Pauley of her’s, time to stand up and find the voice of reason, so we all can move forward better and stronger”

The Mountain Stream

by bowlingchef, posted in Uncategorized

The mountain stream winding it’s way along the mountain, over the rocks and through the brush, nothing will stop the stream from flowing it’s cool and clear water, throughout the mountain side. With the stream winding it’s way through the rocks around each corner, it then falls into a basin and forms a little mountain pool and as it fills up, leaks out on the other side, leaving the pool never to get to deep and very inviting to take a dip within the cool and crisp water.

Your own little private swimming hole within Mother Nature, sit under the running water, as it falls between the rocks, then let the pressure rid you of the stress from the 9 to 5, then as you become relaxed, just let yourself float effortlessly throughout the cool crisp pool and as the sun shines upon you, jump up onto the rocks and let the sun dry you and warm your soul, within the clean mountain air, with no city smog filling your lungs. The peace and serenity is all around you, as the sounds of the mountain stream, soothes your aching body that relaxes you, from the outside to the deep inner parts of your soul.

There is nothing like a mountain stream within Nature, to relax in as it soothes your soul from all the crap that the city may bring. The stream is the heart beat of the Earth, as it whispers to all that want to truly listen, as they totally enjoy all the true beauty around it. There is nothing like pitching a tent along the shore of a stream, then lying within the tent in your sleeping bag and letting the sounds of the stream sing you a lullaby, as you drift into a deep rem sleep. The mountain stream is magical and it’s powers are endless, as it works it’s way around the mountain, over the rocks and through the brush.

When the ugliness, the chaos and the hatred within this society get overwhelming, escape within Mother Nature and listen to the heartbeat of the mountain stream, listen to all the wildlife singing you a relaxing tune, lookout at all the beauty around you, without seeing any crap of the city limits. There is plenty to explore within Mother Nature, you just have to get out and truly explore all that it has. As you escape within Mother Nature, you are also escaping into the land of God, the land he created for us all to explore and relax within, now as we become engulfed within all the beauty, the ugliness of the society leaves us, it may be for a short while til we return to the city limits, but it really doesn’t have to be, as the choice is ours to make, to let the ugliness control us, or let the beauty of Mother Nature stay within, so we can shine with true beauty, instead of being dull and boring from being within the ugliness of the society.

In today’s society some are trying to take away the past, now I get the fact that we should always move forward and leave the past in the past, but sometimes you need the past to see where you are in the present, so moving forward you can be better and stronger, as you walk this journey through life.

There are times that you have to move forward without looking back, but there are also times you need to look back, take stock in where you were, so moving forward you can make the necessary changes to move forward, without any heavy weights holding you back.

The past will always be the past, but when you look back in time to where the very first vehicles were made, you can clearly see all the progress that industry has made, the innovations from year to year, not too mention the wide variety of different looking vehicles. Then you take a walk through an old time cemetery and see what lies within them, the care taking of them and let’s not forget what is buried deep within them, some of what lies within a cemetery, just may be someone who blazed the very path for which you follow today? You can never take away the path totally, but if you look back correctly, you can certainly learn from it, make the right changes today, so you can move forward better and stronger, on the path you have chosen, through this journey of life.

We all walk through this journey of life, but we all get wrapped up so much in the today that we then tend to forget that, yes we all have come from somewhere, we all have had a past, but sometimes that past wasn’t all that kind to us, maybe there was way too much pain and hurt that came to us in the past, that we want nothing but to forget it, we really don’t forget we just bury it so deep within, that we don’t want to acknowledge it. There comes a time we need to face our pasts, so we can understand better our past, then we can make the necessary changes, as we then take the proper steps to move forward better and stronger and learn that what we should of done was, to not bury our past to try to forget, but what we should of done was, to bury the regret of not taking care of the past then, taking care of the pain and the hurt then, so just maybe we could of taken a more prosperous path, that would of filled our journey with a lot more peace and happiness, instead of sadness, sorrow and less heartache through this journey to date.

The past will always be the past, just as the present will be the present and the future will be the future, you can’t mix the three together and you can’t totally move forward properly without taking care of each one separate, Each one will have their obstacles and hurdles to get over, this is a big part of this journey, this is how we learn, this is what makes us stronger, so we than can move forward better and achieve all that we can, while our futures have great promise. This journey is funny like that, we don’t want to remember anything that brought us pain, but we want to eat up what has brought us good things, but what we always forget is, you need both in order to move forward better and stronger, so as we walk our paths through this journey of life, we can do so with great happiness, peace and prosperity.

” The past will always be the past, but it is also the foundation for the future moving forward”

” Sometimes the pain and hurt will block us from moving forward properly, which is why we need the past to change and refocus moving forward”

” This journey through life has many ups and downs, with many obstacles to get over, this is what makes us better and stronger moving forward”

” Sometimes we need to look back, to see farther into the future”

The Fire in the sky………..

What a beautiful sunset to cap of a beautiful day within nature. The sky is burning in the flames of the sun, just as the fire burns within each of us, we all have that flame within us, to achieve all we want to achieve, as we get older that flame seems to die out a bit, but does it really die out? It only seems like it does, because we loose our focus, we lose the drive to keep the flames burning within, we then get so caught up in all the crap around us, we then forget to stoke our own fire, we look at all around us in a different way, the focus we once had becomes clouded as we do not see things as we once did. Life is not all as soft as a Rose pedal, or the path we walk is not always paved, we always have to work hard for what we want and there are no exceptions, even the filthy rich have to work hard at keeping their wealth, or their wealth will disappear as quick as it came.

We all walk a path through this journey of life, we have to work every day to make the path as smooth as we can, the one thing we can not do is, count on another to help in the up keep of the path, unlike some might think like one of those Socialists types, you can’t take from one to help another along, especially the fact that those you may be taking from, are out there working hard to keep their paths clear, so why should some not have to work at clearing their path? Why should some take something that they really didn’t work for? There is this thing called pride and with pride, it makes you have a good feeling within, it helps you with self confidence to achieve all you want to achieve, without the pride and without the confidence, then the fire within you really does not burn as it should, as a matter of fact, that fire within becomes extinguished, making you cold inside with no true feelings moving forward.

Camping within Mother Nature is a lot more than just setting up a tent, setting up a piece of land just for peace and quiet, the days of camping is to unwind from the daily grind, explore and see things for which you normally would not see, not just see a sunset as beautiful as this, but also a sunrise just as much, there is a lot more to this journey through life, than the usual daily grind we all live, true we can get so caught up in the daily grind, that we then forget to stoke our fire within, which we then forget to get out and explore to see things we never see normally, sometimes we make a choice to stay within the world we are in, then that becomes our choice and we really can not blame another for that choice we have made, nor can we expect another to give up their choice, just because we do not like the choice we have made.

Sometimes life will bring us discomfort, it will bring us things that gives us much pain and hurt, through that pain and hurt is also when we become so clouded within, that the fire within us, will become extinguished like the rain fall over the campfire, when we are within the clouds it becomes very hard to see anything, even the path for which we are walking and instead of working at cleaning up the path, we just wander trying to hide our pain and hurt, so we can look as normal as we can. Sometimes the discomfort is part of what we are doing and sometimes, the discomfort comes from others who will bring it to us, simply because they try to seem more powerful to those around them? Either way it is up to us to clear the clouds of pain and hurt, so we than can feel good of ourselves, feel total confidence in ourselves, so we to can achieve all we want to achieve.

A trip within Mother Nature to explore and see things we normally would not see, is better than any therapy, it will help us unwind, it will help us clear the clouds from our judgments, so we than can see all the beauty around us, as we look out into the horizon and with a clear mind, we than can see that the horizon is looking back at us, we also notice that all our other senses are waking up to what is around us, we find that yes we do have these things of feelings within us, just that they were buried so deep within, that like the fire within, they were lost within the clouds that engulfed us. This journey through life is not about us waiting for another to give us everything, it’s not about just being consumed within the daily grind, there is so much more to this journey, we just have to have the confidence in ourselves to get out there and explore all that it has to offer and with this confidence, we will find that we have these feelings within us, that need to be stoked like the fire within, so as we walk our paths through this journey, we can do so in peace and happiness always.

” As the fire is within the sky, so to is there a fire within each of us as well to fuel ourselves to achieve all we want to achieve”

” As the sunset comes to put the sky to sleep for the night, so does the sunrise come to wake the sky up for the coming day”

” Socialism never works, just look at the current country of Venezuela”

” Discomfort will bring us pain and hurt, but to bring us comfort we all need to work hard and the pain and hurt will get better moving forward”

The case is closed!!!

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., leaves the Senate floor after making a speech on the Mueller report on May 7, 2019.

Finally someone within the walls of Washington DC standing up and taking a stand of all the crap within these walls. Simply because the Democrats didn’t get the answers they wanted, they have then moved to stalling, instead of moving forward. They want to bring in who ever they can and ask not just stupid questions, but questions that have zero merit with zero base to stand on. This is what happens when you are in denial and simply can not handle the truth, even when it is staring you in the face.

Hillary Clinton still can not except the fact she lost the election, by coming out and saying the election was stolen from her? This proves even further that the entire Democratic party has become the party within the walls of denial and unless they clean up their act, they will never see any reality, with we the people being the ones that totally feel the wrath of all the problems, within the walls of Washington DC.

Another issue we all have is the issue of the technology within the palm of our hands, look at this woman in the picture, her cell phone in her hand, we all in this society have become so dependent on this device, that we can not even put it down, we walk down the street without even looking where we are going, because we are to busy looking at this device, our entire world is within this device and if something happens to this device, we would all be lost with no clue of what to do next?

Denial is a strong force that will control every fiber within your being, even when the truth is staring you in the face, you can not see the truth because the denial has you in blinders and seeing only what it wants you to see. Denial does not care of who you are, as it strikes who ever it wants, when ever it wants, we have to be stronger and we have to resist all the temptations that denial brings to us. When Jesus came to us and walked his journey here with us, he showed us with his actions on how to resist any temptations, the problem now is, we the people think we are smarter, we think that nothing will ever happen to me? I have a news flash for you, Denial is sneaky and will sneak up and control you, without you even knowing it. The only way to get out of any kind of denial is acceptance, once you accept that you have been in denial, then you can start the process of taking back the control you have lost, it may seem like a long road back, but the road is well worth the trip, as you now can be honest with yourself and all those around you.

Right now the entire Democratic party is so far in denial, they clearly can not see any reality right in front of their faces. The denial has stopped them from doing their jobs properly and have them, seeing the glass as half full, when it is really half empty. It is not just the Democratic party within the walls of denial, it is also the far left liberal media as well and where this term of ” fake news” comes from. Fake news is nothing but the twisting of the spoken word, just to fit within and agenda and the agenda of the far left media is, to bring more drama to us all, whether it is the truth or not? We the people have to be smarter than these ones in denial, see right through them, so as to ignore what they are doing and hope just maybe they will accept the fact of their denial and start the process of, getting back to reality, so we all can walk our paths of this journey of life, in the peace and happiness, as Jesus showed us. The light of the path of righteousness is right there in front of us, but the denial has us in the darkness, not able too see any light any where, the time is now to accept what is, so the what is next can be better and help us become stronger moving forward.

” Denial is a strong being within us all, but we can be stronger and over come any denial”

” Technology is within the palm of our hands today, but when we use it incorrectly, technology will feed the power of denial”

” The best way to get out of denial is acceptance, we have to accept what is, to make the what’s next better for us all”

” The case is closed, time to move forward better and stronger for the good of all and not just a few that are hiding in the walls of denial”
