There is Much

-

 I AM human as my family will tell most anyone.  Just because I am Spiritual doesn't mean I don't belive myself to be some Divine entity.  But the Divine does live in me.  I have said so many times my pipes are a part of my Spirituality, which is why I won't give them up unless it reaches the point where I just have to.  Many pipe smokers have quit by the time they reach 70 or so out of fear.  

I have relatively few fears, but I do fear losing those in my life I love.  I fear more for them than I do myself.  I have zero fear of death and dying.  Which might explain why I don't fear my pipes.  There are a few things my Spirit Guides told me that very few know completely.  But what I've said might be known, how many of those few believe in what I've said is another story.  

I've said a lot about my Spirituality here, but how many of you believe me I do not know.  I COULD say I have super powers, but what I say I know maybe no one would believe me.  So, there are things I've told only a few.  But that doesn't really matter as long as I seek to do no harm.  My thoughts aren't desires to do harm, either to myself or to others.  Evil seeks to do harm.  So, there are those who might believe my smoking a pipe does more harm than good, but only I can make that choice.

And that is my point.  I have no thoughts seeking to do harm.  And as long as I think my pipes do more good than harm, I won't quit smoking my pipes.  But at the same time, I don't seek to smoke too much.  My pipes might not be very good, which I think for others smoking a pipe might not be good.  But instead of my smoking a pipe to be seen as a role model is something I try not to do.

But while I can explain here what I can't explain to my doctor or other professionals, I can take the time to explain it here.  Which is why with rare exception, I don't smoke to be seen.  But my pipes are seen by others and I do enjoy a pipe that looks good.  There are pipes I smoke that my wife appreciates while I'm smoking them.  I have a number of pipes she likes seeing.  Some of my pipes look very attractive on me when I'm smoking them.  And each pipe has its own story.

I just don't want to be a role model for pipe smoking.  I have my own reason for smoking a pipe.  This morning it is my Sunday Angel pipe with some Old Professor pipe tobacco.  My coffee this morning is 365 Hometown City Blend.  Thank you for your time and Peace to each one of you.

It's About Balance

 I seem to struggle week after week as to how much football I am going to watch.  There for awhile I was watching all the analysis of the collegiate games and decided I was simply paying too much attention to football.  I cut way back last week and as the season begins to unfold I have to ask myself how much is too much?  I didn't watch one pro game last weekend and hadn't followed the analysis of collegiate games all week.   Then I found myself having a kind of withdrawal and decided I can watch whatever football I want to watch as long as it doesn't interfere with my Spirituality.  But at what point is too much too much?  My wife and I talked about this last week as I cut back on watching and we both decided that I like football and I shouldn't have to be thinking about how much or how little I watch.  I enjoy the games.  College more than the pro's.   I don't have to watch the analysis, but I like College Game Day and I like...

Strange

 I can never predict how any of my posts are going to be received but I do get a reaction from my wife quite often, but I'll post about my Spirituality thinking I've said enough and apart from a few other subjects my Spirituality posts do quite well.  I had yesterday's tobacco review done a few days ago and saved it for yesterday and again, it seems my tobacco reviews do quite well.  Then I wrote about my age and it seemed no one cared that much   My wife says that it's my titles for my subjects So, while I have so many subjects to choose from, today it is about how my tobacco choices influence my Spirituality or do they?  Not really.  It's just that I can't smoke my pipes without tobacco.  I could be smoking a lot of things.  Like the question asked when someone thinks you are crazy, " What have I been smoking?"  Well, at least you know.  It's never any "funny" stuff.  You could be asking what I've been drinking.  I have ...

Old Ads

-
 My wife liked my post about old things we remember.  And a lot of what I remembered was good.  But there was some bad things back then that are different today.  Back in the 50's and 60's and even into the 70's advertising in both magazines and TV were incredibly sexist.  I don't have the space in one post to list all the ads, but really they can be summed by saying that a lot of advertising was incredibly sexist. I 've mentioned my wife lit my pipe for me just a few times, but these days she can barely tolerate the aroma of my most flavorful Aromatic tobacco.  She liked everything I said in that post except my mentioning Old Professor pipe tobacco.  Ironically, I like Old Professor the most and she hates it the most.  So, when I mentioned it, she did too.  But back in the day a man smoking a pipe was his lifestyle.  Today, it's a hobby, and not just for men. But too back in the day, no woman could walk down the street without some perv...
