Sometimes

-

 I have time to just sit and smoke my pipe and there are times I just don’t want to think.  Today is one of those days.  I was thinking this morning that I have all the pipes I need.  I’ve smoked all my cellared tobacco and buy what I need in bulk for a month at a time.  I smoke about 16 ounces a month.  

I have tried all the famous ropes, coins, and slices that many pipe smokers like.  I’ve had many aromatics and always keep some around for my wife to enjoy the aromas.  I guess in my old age I’m kind of tired of thinking about what’s in my pipe.  These days I just want to light what I have, sit back, relax, and not think about what’s in my pipe.  

I used to anticipate opening that new bag or that new tin and think about a review I might write about such-and-such tobacco.  But these days my old pipes are my best friends and I just want in them what I know I like.  

I’ve found my favorite affordable bulk tobacco.  I think here on out it will be my tobacco.  My brain is tired and often I refuse to think too much.  I no longer want tobaccos I have to think about.  

As for pipes, I have all I need.  Once in a great while a pipe or stem might break and I’ll think about what I want to replace it with.  I might order a pipe a year for about $150 US or less.  But I still have plenty of pipes.  These days my old brain is tired.  And life is like that too.  Sure, I have plenty to think about, but often I just refuse to think.  It’s not from laziness, but more about enjoying my Peace when I have it.  

I wasn’t going to write this morning, but I thought I’d share these thoughts with anyone interested.  I’m smoking my Savinelli Saint Nicholas pipe from 2023. I smoke it all year round.  My tobacco is a blend from Cornell and Diehl.  I drank my coffee this morning.  It was  from Stumptown and was Holler Mountain.  Thank you for your time and Peace and Love to each one of you.

About Good Vs. Evil

-
 My Angels told me Satan wanted to create and God wouldn’t let him, when I asked them if there were physical unions in heaven.  But here on earth creating is good.  God allows us to create all we want, within limits.  But in doing so we do the will of God knowing He is the Giver  of all life.  My Angels didn’t tell me this, but it is my thinking that we have to recognize God is the Giver of ALL life.  This is why every human life is sacred and why only God can take a human life. This is why God will overlook any sin but the taking of Human Life.  This is my theology from my Angels and why it is so important that we control both our hatred and our anger.  This is why there is the taking of human life.  Satan knows this too and why there is evil in this world.  Without righteousness humanity wouldn’t exist. This is why I believe God won’t let the world be destroyed.  There will always be wars and rumors of war, which is why livin...

Kind Of

 I’m kind of anti-social, but in my thinking it’s for good reason.  I’m pretty shy about my Angels.  They define who I am.  I seek to protect them as much as I can.  I’m willing to share my space, but only with a few.  Other than this I’m quiet about my Angels and it’s why I prefer solitude over many.  They say opposites attract and in my case this is very true.   I’m attracted to outgoing people.  In this regard my wife and I are opposites.  I can force myself to be an extrovert, but this is not my nature.  I prefer a quiet life of mostly solitude.  In this day of the Internet people are either outgoing or they will be alone.  I am happiest with a mind that doesn’t think too much.  But stress can give me overload.   I need diversions from life to keep my mind from overthinking.  This has been a problem for me for most of my life—even from a very young age.  Too many people and too much input causes my ...

Most Important

 I’m not sure that Peace is more important than love but in a way they go hand-in-hand.  I wasn’t going to write today, but I got to thinking about my Peaceful feeling today.  I feel Peaceful as I sit and smoke my pipe, but life isn’t always peaceful.  But feeling Peaceful is the first step to loving ourselves.  And if it’s there it goes outward from us. I began a post this morning and felt it wasn’t very good and thought I’m might not post today.  I’ve had my morning coffee and am on my third bowl of pipe tobacco for the day, but I have this most peaceful feeling about life and thought I’d share this with you.  Life comes at us and we don’t always feel either peaceful or loving.  But when we take time to meditate on Peace we are filled with it. I wish I could explain it better, but we need to shut out the world and take time for ourselves.  That’s the best way I can describe it.  It is a Spiritual gift we seek.  If we want it then ...
