Our Shared Global Journey

This "adventure" of global social and humanitarian evolution reminds me of when I decided at a young age that I wanted to travel and see the world.

I didn't know how I was going to do it - just that I was going to do it - one airport at a time. And as I learned, one disappointment at a time, one-after-another, with seemingly endless reruns.

But my fervent vision never lessened, and in fact, with every failed expectation it grew stronger - in my resolve to see a different set of hues and brights, waiving airborne on a different and distant foreign Color. And my selfish desire came to fruition.

Fast forward and I see now that I am very rich indeed .

Not for what I started out with on that journey, but for what I came back with, over 40 countries and 40 US states later. Now into my 50's I hold great appreciation for human dignity and resilient effort.

I can share that in the mid to late '90's I was witness to and involved in many international construction projects on a large scale both inland and marine based that boggled the mind even then. I often wondered where the money came from, especially in areas I was privy to in SE Asia, like Vietnam South and North in the Communist parts of that country, as well as Korea and particularly in China.

Anyway, the lessons I learned during my travels (over 2M miles) starting at the young age of 30 (outside of my military travel years), I eagerly applied, seeing each day as a field to practice on, a small work of art on a large piece of blank canvas to add my story to...

A story best told from a meager beginning, with no steps skipped.

That is the beauty of the life we are now painting in our prayers and in our daily struggles as we watch this "Timmmberrrrrr!!" of centralized, global perpetuity of humane interaction in both developed and especially in developing countries - prepare to fall...as we aim our tendered ears to the jester who calls the final cut in our collective favor.

Do you believe in Jubilee?

I am enjoying the tour of our museum, and I think I understand now why I saw so much construction in THAT present that made no sense but for the FUTURE.

Not unlike the Ghost Cities of China.

The picture we study becomes more clear simply by stepping our collective nose back from the canvas, and allowing the details of this masterpiece to present themselves to the clarity we all seek.

I believe in my "Knower" (to quote someone I respect) we are witnessing the birth of a new Sun - rather than just a bright light - at the end of this tunnel.

So put your shades on, sit down, buckle up, and "Simmer down now..." as we embrace this final run.

Stop being so serious Peeps. This is NOT your life. It is your Future. Many have seemingly forgotten this and tripped over their now, bumping their head on the way down.

Been there - done that.

Get up, wipe your pants off, and re-focus on the NOW life while you Wait.

Work on YOUR museum NOW...give us all a reason to buy a ticket later.

Later.
