Opportunities

Timing.  Aticki ticki tocka.  Important.

Study and look around to see.

There was a young actor/writer who had worked long and hard to learn his craft.  He made friends with notable showbiz people.  He planned.

A movie was planned.

He had a friend who was a mentor who could direct.

Another was an advisor/producer.

Details were worked out.

The young man even obtained permission to film from another friend, a County Sheriff and a Chief of Police.

Then reticence set in.

Several factors came into play.  They could have been overcome and momentum would have driven forward.  But, in spite of good efforts, stop is stop.

There had been enemies on the outside who had been overcome.  But being one's own worse enemy cannot.  Finger on the button and off.

There had been a plan to get to know a producer/writer/director and encourage him to finish his own work.  The young man would have accepted any role in helping the legend's commitment.  It didn't happen because of reticence.  The legend's own reticence floundered progress.

Reticence is a death watch beetle.

Neohope has sprung forth.

Though the mentors were elderly and died, there are new contacts and a new approach for not obly the movie, but a series of books that could be turned into movies.

Timing.

We make new opportunities and they beget new projects/new life.

Don't let fear of failure or success stop the new.  Slings and arrows and self wounding are over.

Opportunities for triumph abound.

And any resemblance to current events is not coincidental.

Succession

One thing follows another.  For weal or woe.

There was a young, up and coming actor who chose to appear in a regional Shakespeare production.  He didn't have much to do but figured it was a chance to observe a pro production and meet a notable actor.

From the beginning he was treated with disdain.  Nonetheless, he endured and indeed received a crash course in production.

As is often the case, he made friends with production people.  Their views are often different from the top tier.  And he got to know that well known actor.

One of the principal roles was filled by a local football star.  As for the rest of his makeup, that's up in the air.  As for acting, he was dumb as a box of rocks.

The director etal spent extra time past Equity hours, to coach him.  They worked and worked to little avail.  His delivery remained at what might be grade school theater level.  But they had a 'star' for audience pull.

The star had to leave for spring training.  The finances were limited and there were no understudies.  So cast members were ratcheted to fill the gap.

The young actor had had ample time to be familiar with principal roles. To fill an inevitable gap, the director brought in another local actor, instead of tapping the onset talent.

A slap in the face?  To say the least.  And yet, the young actor endured.

He came away with invaluable knowledge how to put together a production.  His subsequent work in NYC and Hollywood benefitted immensely.

Any resemblance to current events is not coincidental, for there are no coincidences.

Historicity

How many times have I talked about history?  How it must be understood fully, warts and all?

Dig.  Research.  And most of all, study the methods used by collectivists to reshape history in their twisted matrix.

In order for the commies to conquer, they must erase all and rewrite.

The Bolsheviks did it.  Nazis too.  The red guard and later iterations did it.  Stop them.

Spread truth.

Archive truth.

And remember, not all of America is on fire.  Where Freedom lives, the tyrants lose.

Sick And Well

Sometimes the last days seem to predominate our memories.

Someone was vibrant, alive, always on the move.  They had a life and shared of thenselves.

Then illness strikes.  The slow descent begins.  Deterioration sets in.

With many illnesses, it is slow.  Memory is different for those taken quickly.  Perseverance.  Love,  Grief.  They all play a part.

Sometimes, we become so engaged in care and worry, we forget all the good before.  Or there are regrets of things left undone.  Persevere.

I hope those ill have been good parents etc.  Remember the good things.

I remember A Dad with whom I went to ballgames etc.  He taught me content of character.

I recall a good dog, who was loving strong loyal and brave.

Two not really disparate examples.

A Father who said I was full of the old stuff and a doggie bounding down the stairs to joyously greet me.

Sure, there were the times when they slowly failed and we took care of them.

But we have that foundation of strength and love which never goes away.

Old And New

Things can change.  There is an end then a beginning.

Now, we could debate karma in all its nuances.  Let it be simply a term for events currently.  Good or bad, old or new methods, ways, fluctuations for how we live.

Let's say there is a pattern of events, large and small, that oppose/thwart a person.  One course is tried and obstacles rise.  Around, over, under, through?  A similar thread appears even when something else is attempted.  And occasionally there is an attempt on the person's life.

While the old is busy in its rut, a new way rises quietly.  Facts are accumulated and the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune make one tougher.  The old is studied and its ways become well known.  It never changes.  The new gives way to something surprisingly old as well.  There is eternal truth that outdistances lies.

And we think for ourselves.

The old tries to lure and bully its way back.  This is to no avail.

We move forward, on a journey of Liberty on all levels.

Loose

If something's loose, tighten it.  Well, unless it needs to be flexible.  Loose and tight are surely variables.

Loosen the tyrannical grasp some governors and mayors are exercising now.

Tighten laws against letting criminals run rampant.

A particular kind of loose has been noted for a while.

Remember the old adage 'the inmates are running the asylum'?  Well, it's true.

Increasingly, we see the unhinged literally loose in the streets.  Many stories pop up with people exhibiting severe mental illnesses.  Often violence and complete dependence on emotion ensue.  I have a background in clinical psychology from college.  I suggest if you want those explanations, seek them.

I am talking about the delusional, psychopathic etal.  There are many meuroses for instance not in that league.  It's when something dominates a life that it becomes dangerous.

Many who should be under care are just left to wander.  It is part of Cultural Marxism.  Worse is better.

IMHO collectivism is unhinged.  It defies logic and contributes to the destruction of society from within.

Instead of treatment, many are left to spew.

Confrontation to deal with problems is called for.  Exposing collectivism as the social/spiritual plague it is grows today, in spite of diversions like up north.

In this case, we must tighten up, lest we become completely unhinged.

Show And Tell

People can be told the moon is made of green cheese.  Then they either accept that or find out for themselves.

I always advise you to dig, research.  Facts are stubborn things.

The collectivists will obfuscate of course.  They will ascribe to us what they themselves are guilty of.  Mostly editorial type opinion passes for facts with our leftist buds.  And when they demand cites, if you oblige (I don't usually.  I tell them to find it themselves for the truth is before them.), they will claim your sources are merely biased and from unreliable places.  In spite of actual facts, they drone on and claim you are doing what they actually do.

Now, facts are finally inundating the public concerning crimes against the President, the People and Constitution.  How convoluted it is.  And the material is irrefutable, though of course, the collectivists try.  The People are being shown.

Like the friend who taught me to house paint my way through college, there is a right way and wrong way.

So, if that green cheese is not the moon and doesn't even exist, you will soon see.
