Honor in Thy Family

Honor in Thy Family is a way of being.  Where you come from is where you too shall go, and without honor your path will be filled with doubt and confidence meant for the meek.  Honor lives in the heart and soul of you and until you find that honor you will wander through life without direction spinning in circles that do not end. Spiraling out of control.  When you find yourself on the ground, dizzy, you will ask, “What happened?”

Reverence for family has been grotesquely twisted into something unrecognizable.  Fathers beat their children and rape their wives.  Mother’s destroy their children and bring shame to their past.  Self perpetuating is this monster and passed from parents to children spreading like a disease leaving honor  in the mud squirming as a chopped worm.  Even splintered, a worm grows again into another worm and another and another.  It wreathes and arches it’s ugly back and grows again.  There is no honor.

Ripping the guts from the monster is a display in what lies within.  When splayed open and revealed you can see what rots within.  Look upon it and examine the details.  The grey mass is filled with worms that have yet to re-grow, and worms that are full size.  To cut them from the sickening mass is not enough.  Gently remove each one with a careful touch.  Breaking even the tiniest segment will leave a portion to re-grow.  Find every piece by reaching in without fear.

This is honor in itself.  Honor to self.  With honor to self then honor to family will be born.  Bring forth your honor by drawing the worms to the surface and laying them into the mud under your feet.  They will revel in the mud as you will revel in the sun.  This is as it should be.

The Raven Said

Kings and Queens; knights, slaves, maidens and princes.  These are the things that made an era long in the past for which we have come to be who we are.  Blood ran like rivers in their times and life was beyond cruel, yet life continued and we were born.  How is that?  Why are we born and others never see past their first day in this world?  Back then it was common for children, men and women, old and young to die.  We all die.  Everything dies.  Everything lives at the same time.  Thrives. Wild things walk next to the tame.  Deer and coyotes walk among pigs and horse without fear of one another. Man walks with no one. Man is no longer in harmony.  We strive to be “one with God and nature” yet we are so far removed from it all we have no idea what is really going on around us.

In King Arthur’s time I would be dead. The miracles of science got me through childhood with medicines that healed me.  Even as an adult I would have been dead several times over in that era.  Too bad science has come along to save us all.  With all the miracles we have forgotten the preciousness of life.  We have lost touch with the intensity of the world around us.  With every breath we don’t realize that we are breathing.  With every bite of food we don’t give a thought to the life it brings.  With every step we don’t see the things crushed under our feet.

Today is a sad time indeed.  People have fallen out of grace by falling out of sync with the world around them.  Today the beginning of our end.  “Too bad.  So sad,” said the Raven.

Hello world!

I’m here!  Have you been looking for me?  This is the place I’ll be for awhile.  My name is Coraline and I live in a tiny dust bowl of a town.  I watch the locals as they push their way through existance hoping for a better life.  Most remind me of Dust Bunnies under my bed as they tumble around ahead of the slight air movements that exist down there.  The ebb and flow of that air is what the locals ride on trying to stay ahead of life as it rolls them along in Arbitrary directions.  Thus, the name of this blog….Arbitrary Dust Bunnies.

Check under your bed and tell me what you see.
