A LINE JUMPED OUT AT ME IN LITTLE WOMEN SOMETHING ABOUT BEING HOPELESSLY FLAWED...WE ARE NOT HOPELESSLY FLAWED...ONLY FLAWED WITH LOTS OF HOPE...ALWAYS ROOTING TO OVERCOME THE FLAWS AND OFTEN SUCCEEDING IF WE DON'T GIVE UP HOPE.

YOU CAN HEAR THEM IN YOUR MIND ANYTIME YOU NEED TO SOOTHE YOUR SOUL...JUST IMAGINE AND LISTEN...

I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS MAKES ME THINK OF WHEN I HOUSEMANAGED DOING MY USHERS SPEECH LETTING THEM KNOW WHAT I NEEDED HELP WITH FOR THE SHOW...WHEN I GOT TO THE END OF THE SPEECH I WOULD ASK  ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS AND USUALLY THERE WERE NOT CUZ I WAS PRETTY THOROUGH SO IF THEY PAID ATTENTION THERE WERE NO QUESTIONS...SO I WOULD FOLLOW IT  UP WITH...ARE THERE ANY ANSWERS...THAT ALWAYS GOT A LAUGH...ONLY ONCE I REMEMBER SOMEONE RESPONDING WITH A STRANGE ANSWER THAT  STUMPED ME...HA HA...CAUGHT ME OFFGUARD...UNEXPECTED...THEY MUST HAVE USHERED FOR ME BEFORE AND CAME PREPARED WITH AN ANSWER...HA HA

ORIGINALLY TITLED MESSAGES FROM BEYOND...THE LAST TWO LINES CAME AS I WAS COPYING THE POEM OVER HERE AND THE TITLE WAS CHANGED...

THIS CAME TO ME WHILE LISTENING TO  ALEXA READ THE KINDLE BOOK JIMMY AND ME BY LEW BRACKER...SO MANY MOMENTS IN TIME...SOME LAST A LIFETIME...THOSE CHERISHED MEMORIES...

WATCHING LITTLE WOMEN AND A LINE POPPED OUT AT ME SOMETHING LIKE   YOU DON'T NEED MANY SUITORS YOU ONLY NEED ONE IF HE'S THE RIGHT ONE....AND I GOT TO THINKING HOW WOULD YOU KNOW IF IT WAS THE RIGHT ONE OR THE WRONG ONE...MY GUESS WOULD BE MOST WOULD FALL SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN...

I THINK THE TITLE AND LAST LINE ONE IN THE SAME  ANSWERS THAT QUESTION...

I HAD THE FIRST TWO LINES STUCK IN MY HEAD AND THE REST JUST FOLLOED ALONG...IT FEELS MORE LIKE A SHORT STORY TO ME...

THE SIMPLE TRUTH IS THERE IS NO SIMPLE TRUTH CAME AS AN AFTERTHOUGHT. I MEAN  YA THERE ARE SOME SIMPLE TRUTHS OUT THERE THAT ARE TRUE FOR EVERYONE  BUT I AM TALKING ON A DEEPER LEVEL I GUESS...A LOT OF IT INVOLVES INTERPRETATION OF FACTS AS YOU SEE THEM...IT'S FUNNY I WAS THINKING OF AN EXAMPLE OF A SIMPLE TRUTH LIKE THE SKY IS UP BUT IF YOU REALLY THINK ABOUT IT...THE EARTH IS A PLANET ROTATING IN SPACE AND WE ARE HELD IN PLACE BY GRAVITY SO SOMETIMES UP IS DOWN AND DOWN IS UP AND  COULD BE SIDEWAYS EVEN...I REMEMBER WRITING A POEM A LONG TIME AGO THAT HAD A LINE IT IT...UP IS DOWN AND DOWN IS UP THANKS TO THE FORCE OF GRAVITY...I HAVE OFTEN PONDERED THAT...OR MAYBE SINCE THE SKY IS PART OF SPACE WHERE THERE IS NO UP OR DOWN REALLY....IT GETS CONFUSING IF YOU OVER THINK IT...SO IT IS RELATIVE TO OUR OBSERVATION OF IT BEING ABOVE US THAT THE SKY IS UP...OR THE SKY IS BLUE...I FORGET IF THAT IS AN ILLUSION OR LAKES OR OCEANS OR BODIES OF WATER APPEAR TO BE BLUE BUT THEY JUST REFLECT THE SKY...MAYBE THAT IS IT THE WATER APPEARS BLUE SOMETIMES BUT IT IS ACTUALLY CLEAR AND REFLECTING THE BLUE SKY...SO MAYBE THE SKY IS BLUE IS AN EXAMPLE OF A SIMPLE TRUTH THAT EVERYONE BELIEVES TO BE TRUE...OR JUST SEEMS TO BE AN OBVIOUS TRUTH...
