Love the article Ian
Touching to the heart and warm in the tummy.
Please keep 'em coming.
I guess Grandma and Pops really got annoyed with you... that's is so funny and precious.
After decades of slaving in cold winter factories and working with rental property all over, my Dad finally bought the family home here in Ormond Beach FL
I must say that it is pretty much paradise on earth and I pray that everyone may have a beautiful place of their own.
From my understanding, there are enough resources on the planet to comfortably feed, clothes and house about 10 Billion souls.
Excepting that vicious and soulless 1 to 2 percent minority who have no sense other than to engulf, devour and abuse all that is holy.
Your article is very heartwarming in due to the fact that your Dad was staying with his parents while he was taking his courses.
I never left.
We always had a business attached to our living quarters since I was 8 yrs. old, so there was really no need to leave and The Universe, God, Him, Her It, The 4 Cosmic Forces and 4 Matter <Mother> elements of Fire, Air, Water and Earth brought me Connie just before the transition of my Mom, Live-In Bachelor Uncle and Dad.
I have no children of my own but wonderful step-children and step-grand-children.
Last night I was working with my deceased brother and parents as we arrange to sell the business.
Mom made the transition in 2003 and within a month Uncle John did.
We spoiled Dad until 2009 when he left on the exact same day that JFK did 11/22/2009.
He grew up in his native Poland until the age of 17 when the Nazis took him to slave labor in Finland.
We visited London in the 70's and stayed by the Earl's Court tube station.
Back then we were able to actually touch Stonehenge and we saw King Arthur's Round Table in Westminster Abbey.
The Poles and The English have a special bond because so many fought side by side and sacrificed so much.
Well... so much for time and space.
Don't know if you read, "A Dweller on Two Planets", done by automatic writing in the early part of the 20th Century by Frederick S. Oliver, (Phylos the Thibetan)
Or,
Operation Paradise, (Effective Environmental Healing with Orgone Energy) by Georg Ritschi.
But, the latter talks about making actual physical "Holy Handgrenades" !
he he...
Love and Cheers,
