Correspondence and Reply with M~

Dear M~

Did I really clear anything up?  Sometimes I like to muddy the waters so that clarity is not had.  The bottom of a puddle might uncover a coin or gem that is otherwise hidden and left for discovery on a dry day.  Nonetheless, you are correct with your assumption that I will not easily be nailed down to anything.  I would prefer to go hungry then to be at someone’s will and I have gone hungry before.  Finding yourself on the bottom after coming from the top is earth-shattering, but it is also enlightening as the fall makes you smarter.  

The menial I works in sales and I am good at what I do.  As previously stated, I have open time for others who need me for sales.  However, I never turn away when someone needs their computer fixed, has software issues, needs a contract, a will, or power of attorney.   Having served as my own attorney against the powers that be, I can help people like myself who strive for their rights as Native people.  I invested more than twenty years in a legal battle that I realized was not worth the war.  I won the battle and a settlement of $20,000 for my endeavor, but in the end I saw that I was fighting to get into a system that I am against.  To this, I advised the government that I would not abide by their laws.  

If I had to interpret the poem or quote that you note, I would say that the youth did not see his or her years pass them by.  I would then question if the individual had the opportunity to stop and smell the roses?  What did you want to do with your life before the gift was bestowed?  If you could, would you change anything?

I did find your books on Amazon “******************************” and “***************.”  I see that you have a five star rating on both.  I see a similarity in both books in that you must see something to make it be.  I have added your books to my wish list as I do enjoy reading those I have come to know personally and those I have come to know in cyberspace.  Your books are fundamentally related.

Perhaps you have stopped and smelled many roses on your trip through life.  When you state your “purpose is to go and be ‘home’,” do you refer to your residence or where your heart is?  Is the “world of illusion” what you view as external?  My best guess is that you are a helping individual with spirit and heart whom is fulfilled by doing.

As I did pose a few questions, should time find you, would you mind keeping our volley going?  Meanwhile, do have a wondrous and enchanting evening.

Sincerely,

~A

Arachne,

Well, that clears it all up!:))

I'll just assume you will do things as you like and won't be easily nailed down to anything specific, and leave it at that. You are delightful just the way you are, and you don't need me to tell you that, do you?

There's a poem or a quote from a poet that goes something like this: "I turned my face and then eighteen years had passed." I took a job as a management consultant and lo and behold I had a career that has kept me going for more than half my life. Since I didn't aspire to it, it was a gift, and I rarely forget that.

I'm also an author of one business book with another one on the way, and one "spiritual" novel. You can look me up on Amazon. The apparent (to some people) unrelatedness of that is a key to my life -- my purpose is to go and be "home", and meanwhile, in the world of illusion, to meet people and be useful and to fulfill on whatever there is in front of me to do.

I think I'm trying to answer you in kind, but this might be the best I've done to say a few words about who I am as a person.

M.
