It’s Just Me

-

My Spirituality is my own brand.   It is just my own.  I can’t pass it on and it isn’t marketable.  It is a new year now and I’ve decided to focus on my own brand of Spirituality.  It is different.  But I am unable to say how it is different.  This has been a problem for me for 31 years.  But I will continue with it.  As much as I’d love to share it, the fact is I simply can’t.  

Each Spiritual person has to find their own path.  It took me literally years to find mine.  Some even find spirituality through various relationships.  I won’t get into all that, but it’s implied.  The fact is I have shared all my secrets only to a few and a few secrets I’m keeping to myself.  

It may seem as if I’m boasting about being superior or special, but the fact is I’m different.  Not many are saved by Angels.  I claim to be otherwise I would not be here.  I am the only proof I have.  But too I need diversions from my Spirituality and find it in relationships and football.  I need to get away from it once in a while without losing that special bond.  

No.  It’s not boasting.  In fact it is quite the opposite.  I’m humbled by it.  I know how undeserving I am as a human being.  But I do smoke a pipe because they said it was up to me if I did.  It is a Spiritual tool I use to connect with the Divine, which is why I am not an evangelist for pipe smoking.  This morning my pipe is my Peterson System pipe and my tobacco is Berries and Cream.  My coffee this morning is from Ethiopia.  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...
