Impress

You want to gain admittance, you knock at the door, waiting. Your head gets a rush, this is so groovy, then the worry begins, well it’s a sort of test, your life adds up to something based on your experiences. Most importantly, did you forgive others, or rush to judge others. Did you believe the media headlines every time you looked at the page. How did you feel, were you angered, mesmerized…

In therapy, she listens to Doctor Benny, her heart is no longer frozen, she is not afraid of anything, while in therapy. Benny continues…

what was your first reaction, and did you pass the bias to your children. How many were misled on such matters, the fake preachers who were chasing your money while exaggerating your fears, believe me, you can get my message and walk on through. Jesus died on the cross, to remind you, getting over your bias’s and forgiving wasn’t so easy as a word. But once that door opens in your heart, you life will be changed for all time, are you willing to risk knocking on heavens door?, are you prepared it, amen.

Doctor Benny smiles, how does that feel. She is relaxing in his safe company. He continues to read from his book…

She is afraid, she reaches out for his hand, he holds it tight but not too tight, she needs the feeling, security, it will relieve her fears, she’s young, has arrived in a new city, is unsure of her surrounds, we’ll have a coffee here. They stop at a cafe, they sit outside, she watches the traffic pass, the human traffic, new colors, faces with expressions she has never seen before, there’s the anxiety, being unsure in your surrounds, amen. She will be living in the city, there is a course she’s attending, her father accompanies her, is helping her to settle in. He see’s the look on her face, nods to himself, we’ll keep an eye on you.

She holds out her hand, he takes it. The pulse in her body, her breathing quickens and slows, like a baby bird in your hand, wondering. He holds it firm, like the story he is reading to her.

Isn’t faith like that sighed Solomon, you reach new heights and places all the time, it’s a living thing and a destination at the same time, and there are demons who want to point you in other directions. you meet new ones all the time. Making friends is never easy, particularly when you have things others don’t have and want.

Solomon in a nutshell, be firm in faith, and don’t worry how others climb the mountain. There are those who are coming into the Jesus way of thinking, it can cause anxiety at the start, this is new, their habits, what are we learning. Stop the judging, think of the soldiers returning from Vietnam, they looked like us, inside they encountered the unimaginable, it leaves a mark.

Solomon was reminding himself, don’t be afraid to venture, just take your faith with you. There were those of no faith at all who measured everything, how can you manage love he sighed, unless you intend to use it as an asset you can sell, and who wants that sort of society, only tyrants and bullies he surmised. Solomon wrote a prayer to spike the efforts of those who preyed on the vulnerable, the young woman in the story, reminded him of one of their many victims, amen.

So lets write a poem she says, her confidence is growing. I’m always the artist, Doctor Benny sighs, it can be difficult to be heard, there are ostriches out there, even among the good. So what is your first line. She is in a relaxed position, there is no tension, just creative thoughts that wish to escape from within.

MY day started with a fall of the heart, I turned on the radio and then I heard, this great song, it stole my heart. …Doctor Benny smiles, I’ve had a few of those types of mornings. What song gets you going she asks. He wonders if that’s breakfast calling. Ahem he says, we’ll get to that later. Continue he says..

The words moved me like a magic wand, transfixed, I was startled at the power in the words, I wanted to stop and get back to that dream, what color I’m not sure but the feeling was green. Doctor Benny laughs, what she says, an old Clint Eastwood movie, which one she asks, all of them, they have a great story in them, and are timeless as the old head might say.

Do you think I should run for President. Its after the great moment, she feels like she could do anything. Taylor Swallow for President, what will barney dolphin think of that. Barney, he was the one who gave me the great idea. Are you old enough, well, maybe I could start saving for the job now, put aside some of our royalties, and new ideas adds Doctor Benny, more coffee he says, my feet are cold on the marble, any chance of underground heating. She smiles, its in the works, amen, One day he’ll rule the world, amen.

The Barney Dolphin Files…

Where is Missus Columbo, who can make head or tale of this, Benny Dolphin smiles, too much routine thinking makes a snipers job too easy, that’s what the security experts say. Barney was being interviewed, where did this wisdom come from, he smirks, Uncle benny is drowning in Pina coladas, low alcohol variety, well Benny is a mature drinker, and most types of alcohol agree with him, his advise is simple, don’t use alcohol in anger, some are afraid of it, it loosens the tongue in people, and that hidden anger some call rage hides within those who have issues, Barney Dolphin has been well advised. Political correct thinking, Benny worries about the debacle in the UK years ago, and the new trend of cancel culture, it’s a dynamite issue that leads to ignorance of reality, as if Jesus didn’t exist, what were they going to cancel next, Christmas!. Also, the warnings of George Orwell, and the other souls, who tried to remind the general populace, were opinions banned then, nanny state thinking. Benny had a nanny of his own for a little while, and while he got a lot of those yummy minty sweets, he never forgot the half crown she sent him on his birthday, well, nanny never forgot him, and he didn’t forget her, even when unable to attend her funeral. Years later its a mute point, but Old Amo and Benny parted on the best of terms, amen.

Barney stands before the counsel of assumed wisdom, they are asking questions in the silent tongue, Barney listens to their accusations, as if they are trying to unhinge him, well, he’s been warned of that also, be like an accountant in front of a client that never appears to listen, you’ll recall the important stuff when it matters and if in doubt, as Jesus says of the Holy Spirit, you’ll be given the words at the time, don’t panic.

In Rome, and other places, the political set are trying to organize affairs, perhaps they need reminding of the words of Jesus, its something everyone should study on a regular basis, they have meanings that are like fresh running water, just keep the thought in mind.

Solomon was thinking of those who thought themselves apparently lost. How there are those, that play ball games with the minds of their children, and seemingly invisible, did they ever consider the days such as these, when the voice would be heard at night by all, a direct reference to the Holy Books, its there to help, remind you, God’s way of telling you, I’m always here, its just the worries you were under, the stress of the modern life, direct references to the parables of Jesus Christ, how the Great God of Abraham and the Holy Prophets always comes to the rescue of His People. How to get your self into that way thinking, that’s the struggle many face, but with God’s help, it’s not impossible.

Common causes, ways to bring the people to one purpose, not the ways of old, but sorting out the issues of today, now. Yes, there were ideas sowed, we need time, the farmer and the seed, its all in the Gospels of Jesus for those seeking immediate clarity, amen.

In a nutshell, if the truth is rarely spoken, read the meaning in the second book of Esdras, amen. A fisherman goes fishing where the fish are, not where they used to be. What catches our interest, where to look, and for the sake of clarity, ignore the pain the Holy Women were put through, that’s a given, we all carry the cross, but in terms of eternity, keep running the race of Faith, amen. And if in doubt, recall the parable of the mustard seed. How such a little seed can do so much, amen. And help cool certain habits that occupy tender hearts as well. Well, where do the prompts come from. As Benny said to Barney Dolphin, there were holy interventions daily, that are missed, amen.
