LOL! Ohhhhh goodness!
Boy, I think of it at times, but the reality is, I don't think what I know is all that special till someone, or something really points it out in a contrast. Then I kinda remember most people don't think, or live or even WANT to live like I do. Then, I remember all those who contributed to my strange and cherished evolution. (I was a frickin' ranch hand, busting my ASS at 17! I had a homestead cabin in Mexico! What a weird life!) All of these things molded me. That includes this board and you all. And I am thankful.
Been this way ALL my life, in essense. Really fortunate to get the best experiences possible. Not always "good things", but lets just say,... necessary things. I have been motivated by the strangest of things to the 20th century folk. And sometimes that's been a real pain in the ass for me. Most of my life I couldn't articulate, or prove what I inherently sensed,... even prepared for. But that never stopped me. Something in me naturally sees pattterns and wants to live life in peace with the natural world.
I think I am taken aback every time now when I think about it.
But, I've lived that way all of my life and can't even CONCEIVE of the alternative.
My son tells me I'm like the modern day pioneer/Ezra Pound.
My wife laughingly calls me "Gruñon" or Grouch, but in the best kind of way, she claims. She knows I'm a hard ass when comes to their benefit and I won't compromise where it counts. She also says the nastiness of the world doesn't stick to me somehow.
I like that.
I count my lucky stars.
