One Of Those Moods

[Fred Steeves]

I had no intentions of making another post here on a slow day, and was just kicking back watching some YouTube videos of some of my favorite old songs. Then I stumbled across this particular video of the classic "House of the Rising Son"... And you know what? It made me cry.

All I could think watching it was: "How is it we accept this, and what have we allowed ourselves to become?" I was shamed. Mind you I'm not laying down on the psychiatrist's comfy couch, I'm a big boy after all, just relating an unexpected impact. Getting soft in me old age I reckon.

watching some of that stuff can be emotionally difficult. In a way you should be thankful that you've had to extricate yourself from the immersion in 'messages'. In truth, the reality you long for and miss, many have never had the luxury of experiencing.

OMG what a haunting video Fred, I can only imagine what hell this must be for those who have and ARE experiencing such devastation and demoralization to each others soul and being. It makes my heart ache too

By the way FRED>>>>I love your softness as it lets me know I'm not alone and inspires me to stay in touch with mine. It also gives me hope when I hear a man talk about how he truly feels versus what he thinks and I am grateful to you for showing others the heart path to Unity. What a great VIBE YOU Have MY FRIEND

Thank you Sandy, you are such a sweety! Yeah, I slipped and posted when my guard was down and I was all weepy and stuff. I try not to do that, but sometimes it just feels good to let someone who may care know how you're feeling about something important. And hell, we're family here right? I'm thankful to have this place to be able to share things I likely would never share with most of my family.

I really get the feeling that emotions are ramping up in the world, like we're undergoing some kind of a purification process. Maybe this is the time available to simply process, and then let go of baggage we've been lugging around with us dutifully for countless lifetimes. That would explain it anyway.

So atleast if a person recognizes this, and lets it roll, it can simply be a beautiful and deep cleansing process. If it's not recognized, I can see where it can be confusing, wildly misinterpreted, and lead to big time emotional outbursts, and therefore trouble.

But Sandy, just between me and you, I weep often for the goodness I see in the midst of all this too. Celine's Doggie Rescue thread being a good example. It's quite a new and sometimes embarrassing trait, but I'm grateful for that connection to our inherent humanity. I think the whole world needs to have a good laugh, and a good cry, both at the same time.

Thank you so much for sharing this---it is good to have reminders---For a really positive experience I love to listen/watch the Playing For Change videos...musicians & singers around the world singing together.

did you know, that over 50,000 were missing in action, and, of the ones who have returned over 75% have committed suicide - one of my best friends, is a vet, who is doing amazing things in this world
