Roger, we share a birthday though I will be turning 65 on April 7. Age of 'retirement', as if every human being has a precise timeline when s/he should be put out to pasture. In other words, made irrelevant.
My dear, from someone who has survived cancer (twice - without chemo/radiation, collisions, many catastrophic setbacks and trauma), I can confidently say that life begins again (and again, and again) when you decide it does. Or not.
The sad thing is that we don't learn this in adolescence. And yet, I've still had a remarkably interesting life with few regrets. It's a cliche that people on their deathbeds say they should have followed their heart and worried less about what others think. I think it's the one universal truth that we should all live by.
Happy early birthday fellow Aries!.
🫂😊💗🍻💃🎉🎁🎂
As they say, it's the first day of the rest of your life. Rejoice in your aliveness and make the most of it!
There is a certain weird freedom in recognizing the lies are everywhere and one has to make deliberate, thoughtful choices about how to live. Thank you for writing!
If you’re struggling with lack––you become the parental figure or the friend you wished but never had to fill that deficit you feel. Higher developmental aspects of yourself demand that of your current self.
Your subconscious mind and your spirit really don’t know the difference between you loving yourself or someone else loving you––you just need that experience of love and healing. Connections of attune-ment to Masters such as Krishna, Buddha, Christ consciousness who formed stepping stones to show the Way. These impulses constantly stream into the physical world like the warming luminescence of Spring.
"The Lies Are Also Electric" - A truer title would have been tough to fashion. Since lies are fabricated thought or propaganda created by energy and continue to generate energy, that electricity is real in human thought. The energy to keep you in your place, to make you a forever child, a slave of false authority is ever present in humanity, a part of the presence of wetiko. https://wetikofreaks.substack.com/
“Irony slug fest” would make a great slogan on a tshirt or ? with a particular date on it, maybe 1984 😉. Ray Bradbury’s quote came to mind, “Just write every day of your life. Read intensely. Then see what happens. Most of my friends who are put on that diet have very pleasant careers.”
Thanks Celia and Agent Roger. Thoroughly enjoyed this ~ inspiring piece of writing.
Any child that grows up in an atmosphere of fakery, lies, deception means they are told not to even try to make sense of the world. That can make a person unhinged if not corrected. It can make the child's whole reality crazy making, disjointed with a wrench in all the divine systems until corrected.
Thanks for sharing this one Celia. Agent Roger, you have a gift. I too suffer from a lack of follow through from time to time. I became a believer in Jesus Christ in 1992. I was 32 then. You were 8. I wish I could go back for a do-over knowing only half of what I now know. I would have stayed in the airforce, quit drinking and drugging and gone to church and read the Holy Bible. Jesus is the Way the Truth, and the Life. All other ways are distractions from a fallen angel once known as Lucifer. He is a great study through the eyes of His Creator. I sometimes wonder why You created him, but I don't need to know. You do and You're the One that matters.. You created all this for Your pleasure and for Your Glory! Jesus rode a jackass into Jerusalem on Palm Sonday 2024 years ago today.. Thank you Father for sharing Your perspective of life with this old jackass. Thank you for Eternal life spent with You. May You be pleased with all that I think, say and do, knowing full well I can't live up to the dtandard you set here on Earth with your Only begotten Son. Thank you Jesus for paying my debt. To You be all Praise, Glory and Honor for ever and Ever, Amen.🙏

Roger that !
Great Post Agent Roger
Coronal Whole
You know, the way the black cat knows the sun,
perched as she now is on a truck tire leaned into
the little barn's brown south wall, (eaves peeing
last night's skiff), and preening- in her day's worth
of vitamin D, she'll soon enough be the shadow
in your shadow eclipsing your seasonal turning
or weeding or whatever she catches you
in the middle of with a flaring binary stare
that melts you, even as the first true shirtless heat
of spring goads you to not waste basking time,
even to drink, but keep on checking off tasks
while starting new ones with war- effort fervor,
till you reach down as she knows you eventually will,
like the good brother she expects you to be,
scoop her out of the line of fire, curry her molting
coat with a dirt-caked claw in the cool penumbra
of the plums, finally take that long drink and just sit there
sunstruck by how cyclic in its transience all this is.
They are among us, Agent Roger.
Be aware in the Holy Week crowds.
Celia - Follow your dream of the magazine.
Excited to hear more from Agent Roger!

lol Now I'm a writer of stories.
Thank you Celia, you are too kind.

Do you ever sleep Celia? I can't keep up with you. Still at church. I will read you later.😍
I would go with, “I shouldn’t.”
Stay shy!

There are no "mistakes." There is only remembering/learning.
