Hi Greg,
I noticed that you haven’t posted in awhile. I hope that all is well, your last post kind of leaves things hanging.

Whatever else happens, keep creating!

Haha - yes indeed, there’s been some discussion about that, and while chronologically I’d hope to be in my 5th or 6th inning, the symbolic fact remains that in the 7th one can “enjoy the relief afforded by relaxation from a long posture upon hard benches!”

The Radio story goes that while I was out driving around doing some errands, listening to the semi-alt station KNDD, the 2 DJ characters announce its time for “Group Therapy” where listeners call in their issues, then other listeners call in their advice. Somehow I impulsively called, and somehow got on, so I was committed. You know what I said, so I wont go into details (dont know if I ever will here, but one can probably imagine).

It was actually a very positive experience for me! Who knows how old he was, but the first caller was very dynamic and urgent. He said I was in my 7th inning, and that I “was young enough I can still have a happy life, but old enough that he’s not gonna live too much longer … so run like hell! ” LMAO! Then they played “Landslide” - the bastards!

the seventh inning stretch…….interesting comparison.

i would like to think i have more than two innings left.

maybe i will compare my life to cricket instead.

as long as i have the bat in my hand and the strength and focus to keep the ball away from the stumps then the game continues.

yes, i prefer the cricket comparison.

Comment on Assuming assumptions by greg

I’ve been reading The Wisdom of Insecurity, by Alan Watts ( I recall you are a Watts fan?) and he makes an unusual contrast between belief and faith.

beliefs are conditioned constructs of the intellect, where faith is more an open hopeful embrace of life.

we aren’t prepared to trust the latter more than the former, since belief makes sense in dogmatic rational ways (once one pushes it there), and faith almost runs counter to that.

… it’s good to understand the difference - while we’re still sorting it all out

the zen-approach is the only way to get through the day sometimes.

to know that is to gain strength,and to experience it while in the moment is to be truly grateful.

a friend of mine says that all will be provided for, just have faith.

he has never been wrong.

Every day is Day#1. It’s all we have. From beginning to end.
growth. physical conditioning. mental education. self control.

plus the school system. the hand-that-rocks-the-cradle. the internet.

thanks for understanding.
