Alternative Universe

-

I wish sometimes I had a crystal ball just to see the alternative universe had I not had the experience with the Divine.  I often mention to my wife over and over that I just don’t know.  But in some ways I wish I knew.  But there is no way of knowing.  I kept guessing and with every guess came the response I gave her.  I just don’t know.  Maybe I am to understand now and that is all that matters.

Everything in my life since has been if not for the experience….   My thinking is that it was all meant to be.  The alternative was not meant to be.  That universe doesn’t exist.  I can speculate all I want but speculation is all it is.  I simply wouldn’t exist.  This is my belief.  In an alternate universe I wouldn’t exist.  Then what?  What is that universe like without me?  I have no idea.  

Sure I can guess but the alternative universe simply does not exist except for what I imagine.  What we know is what we know.  I could write a fictional story but fiction is all it would be.  What if somehow I didn’t end my life.  Again, I don’t know.  There is much I do not know.  But would the alternate universe be somehow revealed to me?  Would I ever know?  Maybe guesses are best and accept the reality of it all.  I am the only proof I have.  

Maybe that is all I need and why I never died.  God has a lot for me to do.  I do it by being alive.  Maybe that is all I have to do.  The alternative universe does not exist.  I’m just thankful every moment of every day.  It’s in part why I smoke a pipe.  I’m meditating on my thankfulness.  This morning my pipe is my Peterson Irish Harp pipe with some Lavish English and my coffee this morning is Stumptown Homestead coffee.  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...

 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...
