Life…

it really takes character
to understand it
eh?

I’ve spent the most part
of the last two days
on the internet
consoling friends from distances
far and wide
over the loss of our riding/internet friend
GreyBeard

and while doing that I’ve also
watched almost all
of season 1
of StarGate…SG1
just for shits n giggles…

the thing I liked about GreyBeard
was his readiness to accept people
for what they are
not what we wanted them to be
himself included

that acceptance of humanity
good, bad or indifferent
in hopes of learning from it
was a blessing he bestowed upon
or taught many of us….

he wasn’t a superhero
he was human
and he knew it…
but he tried
and what more can ya ask for?

the thing I like about SG1
is that every episode comes with a moral
a small reminder of the state
of the human condition

not so very different
than thinking about my friend GreyBeard

life
and the remembrance
that it really takes character
to understand it

yet another lesson learned

If I Can Dream….

There must be lights burning brighter somewhere
Got to be birds flying higher in a sky more blue
If I can dream of a better land
Where all my brothers walk hand in hand
Tell me why, oh why, oh why can’t my dream come true
There must be peace and understanding sometime
Strong winds of promise that will blow away
All the doubt and fearIf I can dream of a warmer sun
Where hope keeps shining on everyone
Tell me why, oh why, oh why won’t that sun appear
We’re lost in a cloud
With too much rain
We’re trapped in a world
That’s troubled with pain
But as long as a man
Has the strength to dream
He can redeem his soul and fly
Deep in my heart there’s a trembling question
Still I am sure that the answer gonna come somehow
Out there in the dark, there’s a beckoning candle
And while I can think, while I can talk
While I can stand, while I can walk
While I can dream, please let my dream
Come true, right now
Let it come true right now
R.I.P
GreyBeard
