I Had A Dream

I had a dream.
It was full of peace joy and contentment.
I woke refreshed with a clean mind , heart and soul.
I was alive with a great will to live.

What was my dream??

A world free of banks, politicians, dictators, reporters, real estate agents, scientists, lawyers and judges.
A world free of corrupt systems bleeding away peoples' lives.
A world of people who did the right thing just because they understood
what the right thing to do was.

A free world where man could live with dignity honor and who respected and honored
others as we all walked through the spirit of this thing called the journey of life.

A world where cruelty was not in Gods' vocabulary.

Man......what a good and free world it was in my dream.
But alas .
It was just a dream ere dreams are an escape to reality.

It must be what heaven was like before the serpent put greed and corruption
into mens' hearts and minds.

If heaven is just a dream, then may we all dream on.
:)

Joy of Saturday

====================================

Deep In the back woods, a hillbilly's wife went into labor in the middle of the night, and the doctor was called out to assist in the delivery. Since there was no electricity, the doctor handed the father-to-be a lantern and said, "Here. You hold this high so I can see what I am
doing." Soon, a baby boy was brought into the world.

Whoa there, said the doctor, "Don't be in such a rush to put that lantern down. I think there's another one coming." Sure enough, within minutes he had delivered a baby girl. "Hold that lantern up, don't set it down there's another one!" said the doctor.

Within a few minutes he had delivered a third baby.

"No, don't be in a hurry to put down that lantern, it seems there's yet another one coming!" cried the doctor.

The redneck scratched his head in bewilderment, and asked the doctor, "You reckon it might be the light that's attractin' 'em?


==================================================

Hearing a scream from the playroom, the mother rushed in and found her infant son pulling the hair of his four-year-old sister. After separating them, the mother said to her daughter, "Don't be upset with your brother, honey. He didn't know he was hurting you." No sooner had the mother returned to he chores than she heard more screaming. This time she rushed in and found the baby crying. "Now what happened?" she asked. "Nothing," said the girl, "except that now he knows."

===========================================================

A young Redneck woman brought her child into Children's Hospital for a routine check-up. On the records, the nurse saw that the child's first name was Urine. Not wanting to be rude, but wanting to know why this woman would name her child this, the nurse asked her how Urine got her name. The woman explained, "Well, my baby was born premature and had to stay in the special nursery. She was real sick and they didn't know if she would make it. I couldn't decide what to name her, but the nurses said they would pray for her."

One day I came in and the nurses had already named her. There was this paper on her incubator that said "Please save Urine", so I knew that they had named my baby."



Ok . I know. lol

MME BUTTERFLY

I was looking for a song for the previous butterfly post and came across this one which
was too beautiful a story not to tell and deserving of its own post.
Mme Butterfly is a beautiful Opera by Puccini, first performed in 1898,
in La Scala, Milan. It's a true story, originating from Nagasaki, Japan.

Pinkerton is enchanted with this beautiful young geisha girl, Mme Butterfly
To him she projected innocence, grace, charm and beauty, like a fluttering butterfly.
He decided to marry her Japanese style.
The agreement is for 999 years, with a right to cancel the marriage at any time.

He was not serious about her. He toasted to their marriage and to the next one to follow
which would be a real marriage, to an American girl.
Butterfly told every one she loved Pinkerton. She went and renounced her Buddhist belief to
take on her husband's to be, religion. When her family and friends found out they
cursed and disowned her.
Pinkerton married her and then left her to go overseas where he married again.
Butterfly waited 3 years and the money was running out but she believed in her husband
and rejected other mens advances.
She had a boy she named Sorrow, until his Father returned and then he would be named Joy

Pinkerton returned and he was told of his son with Butterfly and that Butterfly believed in their marriage.
and that he should not have played with her this way. He said he would take the boy but not Butterfly.
Butterfly said if he wants the boy, he will have to come himself to get him and she would rather die
than remarry or become a geisha again.
She went to her Buddha and prayed, then took her Fathers blade which had an inscription
on it: Who cannot live with honor, must die with honor.
She stabs herself, comes out to her son, kisses him and dies, as Pinkerton enters.
