"You may be right or you may be wrong, but you will miss me when I am gone." John Cash

A girl came home from summer camp with a pin in her tongue. Her dad said he disapproved. She said she disapproved of him eating chips with his mouth open and leaning on the table while he ate. He said she is an embarrassment to the family. She said the same. They agreed that if he ate with his mouth closed and sat up when eating, she would remove the pin. It is a year later and the pin is in.

Some truths bind us to our self. We become what we believe truth to be.

Yet there is only one Truth and when we realize that, we become what we really are.

Words are limited in their truth because words mean only what we want them to mean. Thus the same word means something different to each person while we all think they mean the same to all of us.

Good people. Honest people. Talented people doing the same thing or level of things this year as last. When going to a 30 year class reunion, one says, "You are exactly what you were 10 years ago. Good people. Honest. Talented. And after120 years, he/she is still doing the same old same. "John, you are the same as I remember you 10 years ago." Not bad, but if we were all like that, we could throw away all progress. We would indeed be like the Aborigines. Best we change and not be recognized.

Arizona has more mountains that Switzerland and more golf courses than Scotland. Even more, Arizona has more parks and monuments than any other state in the U.S. Big deal. It is hot there. True, but almost everything inside is at 78 degrees all year long. What other state can say that?

It takes a lot of glue to hold things together, but there is usually enough glue. What of which there is not enough are lassos to corral thing when they fly apart. Best keep them in the corral, be they our emotions, our words, or our acts. As the cowboy said, "Best chew your words to flavor before you spit them out."
