“We kept that old car for sentimental reasons; it wasn’t worth a damn…”

                                                                                                                                   - Alger Hiss

It was a long time ago, and now I’m glad it’s all gone by. 

There were some pretty crazy years.  

Once, I witnessed something pretty amazing – that even then I thought was pretty strange.  Thinking back on it, all I can now say is that I just want to tell the story right…

It might be like some people say - that there's so much happening right in front of our eyes, but we usually miss so much of it - we usually have such a little amount of understanding of any of it that it’s all as good as just not happening, or not having happened.

But I think it's true - there's so much there, just under the surface of what we typically think we see, and  if any of us get even the slightest glimpse of any of it, we need to share this with whoever we can, in whatever way we can.

And so that's what I want to do, I want to share something - that I think I once got a glimpse of.  Yeah, something crazy and yeah, something actually quite amazingly beautiful...

Sometimes we don’t understand what we’re actually seeing until many years later, and by then we might think that it’s too late, that things have moved on, that it’s no longer relevant or important – but it’s always relevant, it’s always important, if only because somebody else – maybe even just one other person – might hear what we tell and put some sense to it, put their own twos and twos together in some way and come up with their own understanding or meaning, and then share that, and on and on and on until someday someone gets a sense of  something that might be close to the truth.   I mean who knows.  It might just happen.

I'll try to add a little bit each day, hopefully every day but most likely I'll miss some every now and then but what I'm thinking is that if I keep a pretty good schedule,  I can have this done by next Christmas - which would then be 32 years to the day since the day it all began...
