"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined."

"The pioneers get all the arrows"
My first calling was as a musician and songwriter...I was fortunate enough to have a good run...Some songs from a friend of mine you never heard but might like...

Friend of mine once told me this lyric should be stitched on a pillow:
"I believe that life is for living and love is the axis on which we turn
We bare our souls till all is forgiven
and clothe ourselves with the lessons learned"
---KH
A favorite quote from a favorite author:
“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”
― Robert A. Heinlein
...and one I saw on a studio wall in Nashville:
“Never attempt to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time and annoys the pig.”
― Robert Heinlein, Time Enough for Love
OK...one more...
“A dying culture invariably exhibits personal rudeness. Bad manners. Lack of consideration for others in minor matters. A loss of politeness, of gentle manners, is more significant than is a riot.”
― Robert A. Heinlein, Friday

I've been around. Meeting spiritual beings, communication with angels, healing, gnosis, reincarnation, Divine harmony for starters. Living out the alient abduction thing living its truth. Operation Oxcart 1961 anyone remember? Men in black came to my house. Symbolism, skillful decoding. Iodine healing, anti parasite medicines, how to reclaim the body territory. Iodine and natural thyroid powder and how to use them. How to take iodine, what to expect.
Oddball for sure! Happy to be different. [email protected] I encourage Minds members to email me. I probably wont be gong on chat, but I would like to discuss things with my friends. I spent 12 years on facebook, wasting time on the messenger. I can only try to do better now.
