Because I’m not a fundamentalist Christ believer –
Because like the sufis I believe there are as many paths to
God as humans have souls –
I do not negate the harmless spiritual beliefs of others that some Christians feel are erroneous or demonic.
I appreciate white witches and pagans intricate knowledge of nature and natural things.
I like how elaborate some of their beliefs and rituals are.
And I could easier be with a white witch or pagan woman
as a girlfriend or a wife than with a fundamentalist Christian woman
who would see my acceptance as that of a lost soul –
whose erring ways needed to be corrected and directed
to her uncompromising right and only way.

I have come to believe a single act of compassion is more important in this life and the next than most spiritual experiences people have on this planet.

Also called the Arizona Bigfoot,
Habitat central and eastern Arizona
along the Mogollon Rim.
Over seven feet tall,
big red eyes with black or
reddish fur.

Emits an indescribable sweet
odor like nothing you can
relate it too.

Howls, whoops and deep
growls that can scare the
life out of you.

Incredible strength that
could tear you in pieces.

If it is near you in a forest,
birds are hushed;
creatures are silenced,
an eerie quiet that you
know portends danger
alarms you.

Scientists consider them
hoaxes or misidentifications.

Witnesses claim otherwise,
so far no proof, but the
alleged sightings keep increasing.

Born beautiful, her beauty had consequences.
She became self infatuated and obsessed
with her beauty.

Her looks dominated her life, became the
center of her superficial universe at the
expensive of her mental development.

She tolerated education. It had little importance
to her with the exception of beauty produces
and appearance enhancements.

She wasn’t conversant on many subjects,
but it didn’t matter; man fawned over her
just the same.

When the years robbed her of her beauty
and even surgeries and cosmetics
could no longer sustain it, she nearly
killed herself.

Now when she looks in what used to be
a complimentary mirror, she sees what
she calls an old hag, and she bemoans
her lost beauty and the men who used
to fawn over her.

Her beauty gone forever, she often
cries and looks at photos of her glory days
as her life fades away.

Bob Boyd

Born alone often with cries
maybe portents of potential
troubles ahead

Sure you have your mother
and medical staff as you
enter this world, but you
and you alone enter
and exit the womb.

Regardless of influences
the decisions throughout
your life are made by
the solitary you

And despite those that
may surround you
it’s the solitary you
that exits this world and
leaves all the vestiges of
your life behind

Absolutely amazing how
AI can restore the real life looks
of historical figures
For example
Suddenly a medieval king
is brought back to life lifelike
from an old painting of him
as if he were real and
resurrected into this life
via the moving photo and
video of exactly how he
looked when living
This makes me wonder
what other surprises AI
will have for us in the
future
