Zachery’s surgery

Okay so some back history to my brother. Zachery is one of the 7 brothers and sisters I have, he’s 15 years old and was born with spina bifida He has had some pressure sores over the past year or so that he’s been dealing with that relate to when the body can’t move around, circulation ect. So this recent one he had has gotten quite bad so they were going to go in and do surgery to remove some dead cells ect. While they were in there they discovered that it was affecting the bone. To the point where they would need to potentially remove it. I found all this out around 11pm last night.

It’s been very hard for me because I love him so much and I want to see good things for him and for him to be okay. And now there’s this.

I talked to my dad briefly on my way into work, he said that they decided they would only need to remove a portion of the femur and not the entire thing.

I went into work, and god I found out how hard it is to have an emotional thing going on that’s really. I told my one manager about it and she was very understanding of the whole thing and assisted me to get out a lot earlier than need be and got my shift covered tonight. So that’s the update of where everything is at now, I’m going to go see him in a little bit at the hospital and try to make him feel better.

Thanks for you thoughts and prayers.

My thoughts on p-r-i-v-a-cy

Once upon a time in a far far away time, there was privacy.
That was then and this is now, and in the now google sees everything you do — Wait no, that is probably true. Read the rest of this entry »

The Problem, not listening.

Today a man crashed his plane into the IRS building, he did a lot of damage, killed himself in the process and could have killed others. I’ve heard on CNN earlier, and then on the news tonight their commentary and I have to abject to what they are stating. Read the rest of this entry »

Gods And Goddesses

Gods and goddesses rest in heavens above
watching us from behind spectral clouds
that move with their every breath,
as they observe our existence, till finally
they are drawn forth in curiosity into our plane
they walk along side us watching and whispering
into our minds and hearts the secrets to the gifts that we seek

as our soul seeks to reach past the divide of the human flesh
into the beautiful reaches of heaven above,
yet finding we are unable to as we are so solidly anchored to this earth,
an exercise in continual progress for my soul and yours

Roads are walked, paths sought, doors opened
Questions asked, answers given
A continual ebbing tide that rises higher and higher
As time flies on, carrying us along within it’s arms
Like dandelion seeds in the wind.

Sweeping forwards through history
an imaginary framework that our brain constructs
to accept the incomprehensible reality of what is real
and what is not.

and within our life, a few times we are graced with the beauty of the opportunity
to reach forth and touch a whispery silk thread of existence
as our souls embody flesh, walking side by side with one another
making decisions, living life,
experiencing, searching, growing,
every action unfolding the majestic red carpet
leading the way to our life tomorrow.

THE WORLD IS ENDING!

Snowed here tonight for the 3rd time this winter in alabama, the world is obviously coming to an end.

Took a few shots tonight and wanted to share them. I also have a few from when it snowed a bunch the other day, and by bunch I mean 1-2 inches which is amazing for Birmingham, Alabama.
