What are words?
Words can bewitch and beguile even the most centered of souls. Words enliven and entreat as the ear tickles to hear more. What would they be without eyes to read or ears to hear? They would be ancient scratchings on old parchments and archaic databases never to be retrieved again.
How do I best get out to the open what is swirlling on the page of my heart other than just get it out there, so I am trying to do that here. My place in this world.
Who is Jason?
Jason is me. A simple boy with complex features in his soul. I like the smile jerkers, the whimsy makers, the simple hearted joys of the world. I enjoy when thought is put into high gear to express the simple love that is humanity. Who is humanity, except God’s love letter to the world.
It is no (surprise, folly) that Good and God are one letter apart. It is a shame these words are combined to describe the horrid things as well as the amazing. Maybe it is because the words hold gravity.
Words are the gravity that holds us together. The Sun holds the earth with an invisible string. Words hold humans with the same invisible string. In truth is it the same “thing” … the same essence?
Gravity … Words … gravity … words …
I like gravy.
Gravy is like the best highlight of potatoes and I look forward to Thanksgiving time to try them out again and again.
Sweet potatoes, yes, with brown sugar and butter.
I digress? is that how you describe a tangent?
Words can splinter us into shards of broken brittle bits dusted to the farthest reaches of space. The dark matter pushing and pulling us apart and we can’t even see it.
Can I inspire a generation to think together instead of spread apart?
Can a word of kindness really displace fear and anger?
I have hope. And hope is enough to spark love. If we have the faith to see it before it is there.
Before I say goodnight I watch as the waves of time flow out and back in on the shore of my life, I hope my children spend time playing in the footprints I have left behind. I love them so much.
Have fun, be kind, live well. Wink at death just to make him blush.
Feel the rush of danger on the way to victory at the things you leave for your children.
faith. hope. love. home.
