Someone posed this question to me: "Aren't we just pretending nothing's wrong with the world?"
"Oh inverted world." -James Mercer. How long must we pretend nothing's wrong? You've popularized too far. Youve used your radios. You've used your televisions, your Internet, your satellite, your dish, your cables, and then from the inside out like a snake coming out if its skin, your using everything. And now, youve even got more "friends" than your counterpart. You got the attention. You got the vote. You got the winning smile. You got that "Mr. Personality"charm! Youve even got good hearted people. You got some fanatics, salesmen, and you got government and laws. But you also got some religions too. Of course you do, salesmen you. Oh, extroverted world! "Vanity of vanities, all is vanity." Ecc. 1.
When will we again accept and remember that we did not create ourselves? That we were created inside our mother by our mother and father. Just as they were created by their mother and father.And so on and so behind us into humankind. And we cannot physically manifest as we please. God is God. We are we. We are made by He. If you wanna know the way to go, to be fulfilled, and know its it, it's in the Holy Spirit. That appeared on this day, as the apex of new days throughout time. The Pentecost. The Holy Spirit descended upon the earth, and breathed on His disciples as to give them the spirit in human senses which is the beginning of the Spirit of Christ. Jesus had died. His followers were keeping strong as best they could. Then he appeared to them telling them to touch his wounds. Thats when he breathed on them. They were filled with strength and joy, laughter and tears! It says that people who saw the apostles after Jesus appeared to them,thought they were drunk all the time. And Peter said, "how could we be drunk, it's only nine in the morning?"
Peter was being frank, he wasn't making a joke. They were so fulfilled by the Holy Spirit with a hearty joy and strength. And a new vitality to spread the Gospel and to keep the faith. God is real. God is a living God, like the grape vine always ripe offering itself to us. Seeking our love with an unending sweet patience. God is living by the way of the Holy Spirit, which is, Jesus Christ. I wish that every person in this world, introvert or extrovert, would seek the Holy Spirit, and find the strength, excitement, and awaking of Christ upon them, and know.

Here or Where.
I'm going use some words said to me by some people making small talk. In a diverse melting pot you'll always hear a variety of opinions about the city you're in. Sitting outside a cafe last week two well suited older gentlemen were walking past as the sun was shining through the blue sky saying, "Seattle is the best place in the world (when the sun is shining.)" the other guy, looking new in town, looked up and around and said, "yeah, I bet."
There's a darkside that makes up what I can gather as about fifty percent of the population that won't ever give an opinion about the city. Yet, most of these folks don't enjoy going outside on average, nor do they enjoy the sun. They spend most of their time in the dark; inside the home, in clubs, bars, or in low or artificial light. My opinion is that it seems to be a direct rejection of the sun's light.
Some people in a transient town are just searching for something they may very well find, and others will not. One girl the other night told me, "I hate this place, I'm leaving." She has been here since last September. As I swiveled around my stool to listen, she said, "everyone gives you the cold shoulder. I'm going to New Orleans."
"Know anyone there?" I asked.
"nope," she shook her head and smirked.
"well its the sweet south, that's something different" I offered. I waved goodbye and wished her good luck.
"This place is so clicky." another person said to me once.
"Its hard to make friends the older you get." another northwest resident admitted.
"It's easy to succeed here." said one woman to me in a random chance meeting.
Perspective! It's all perspective and circumstance that make up opinions.
The girl who had the positive perspective turned out to be the nicest, most genuine person I've met in Seattle.
