Happy 40th, Melissa, with FEELING FREE!
10/15/2018
Hello, Everybody!
Hey, that's the name of one of my many Divine Naturist Christian songs! I did not plan on it when I sat down to write this, but what the heck? I will feature it below. OK?
But this is about something I did this weekend. My wife, Nancy, was in Illinois helping her sister, Dottie, recover from recent hip replacement surgery. So, having some spare time on my hands and thinking of what I could give to my youngest daughter, Melissa, when I visit her tomorrow in Ga - for two weeks - I came up with an idea of making a makeshift DVD I would call FEELING FREE! Of course, to be honest with Melissa, ole Dad could not produce just anything. If he was to produce anything, even if it might embarrass Melissa, it has to be honest. So, embracing Honesty and forthrightness and just plain gut feelings, I set out to produce something that would be memorable for me and just hope that it MIGHT BE memorable for Melissa as well. The result is FANTASTIC! That is, it is FANTASTIC for me, being my own student. I cannot judge if it is FANTASTIC for anyone else - including Melissa; but tomorrow I will be flying to Georgia to spend some precious time with Melissa - and I will hand her as a late birthday gift a copy of my FANTASTIC production I call FEELING FREE! Melissa knows me, however, and anything I do will only please her - even if she doesn't "get it," know what I mean?
As anyone who knows me knows, I believe in going Natural - not for any scandalous reasons, but rather because I think it is right. It has amazed me that humankind has lived on this Earth for thousands of years and has not come to terms with its own Natural Blessings. We have lived to downplay the Natural for many reasons, but in doing so, I believe we have completely misunderstood what Heaven is all about. Of course, that is personal opinion; but my FEELING FREE! discusses that issue as it dares to show one Natural Person - me. I had to redo parts of my production quite a few times - especially the ending - but last evening at about 6, I told myself IT IS DONE!
Saying that, if anyone wants a copy of this daring DVD, just let me know. OK? I will leave it at that. I have not timed it yet, but my guess is that it is about 1 hr and 40 mins long.
And with that, I am out of here for two weeks. When I get done with this email, I will turn off my pc and not turn it on again until after I return on the 30th. So, if you wish, you can take a long time to consider my offer. What I did with daughter, Melissa, in mind, I will be glad to share with anyone. Just don't expect the expected. OK?
I'm reminded of a verse in the Gospel of Thomas that has Jesus responding to an inquiry. He was asked "When will the Kingdom come?" His answer in paraphrase in verse 113 of 114: IT WILL NOT COME BY EXPECTATION. THE KINGDOM OF THE FATHER IS SPREAD UPON THE EARTH AND MEN DO NOT SEE IT! Well, it will be like that with my program. It is best that you view it if you choose to do so - Without Expectation.
Enough! See you on the 30th when I return. Be in touch as you wish! I will leave you and Melissa with my song - HELLO, EVERYBODY!
Bye for now!
Gently,

REFRAIN:
Hello, Everybody,
it's time to smile.
Hello, Everybody,
your time's worth while.
Hello, Everybody,
know you are a mystery.
Whether you're a boy or a girl,
you're a son of Divinity.
When I look out a window
to see a tree leafed in green,
I become aware
of a greater truth that is unseen.
All that's in that lovely tree
is also found in me.
The tree & I are one
as we both share eternity.
Refrain.
When I look up into the sky,
I see a sun shining bright;
and I become aware
that all's dependent upon the light.
All that's found upon
our wonderful, plentiful earth
depends on the light of the sun
for its very birth.
Refrain.
When I look out into space,
I'm sure no end can be;
and I realize that all must be
lost within Infinity.
No one can know where it ends -
anymore than where it begins.
Just be happy you're part of it all -
and to that, just say, Amen.
Refrain.
When I look into the future,
I see that same ole tree
that is in my present now
and shares my mystery;
and I know the tree & I
will go forward as we've done,
knowing that we are among
Life's blessed sons.
Refrain (2).
ENDING:
Yes, whether you're a boy or a girl,
you're a son of Divinity.
Whether you're a boy or a girl,
you're a son of Divinity.
