Because dying is the most alive [One] will ever Feel
Quote from 1923 Spencer Dutton to future lover Alexandria.
Well it’s time to “go forth” . . . again w/ this first posting and “ fire at will/blast away”, from the heart. Why did I choose this subject as a starting point? Dunno! Perhaps it’s cuz - as I stated in my description being a “cat that long ago exceeded its nine lives”. I know about death experiences cuz I frequently must pinch myself to know that I am still in this very dimensionally-limited “manifestation”. Been increasingly thinking ‘bout trying to write a book of my sorry-ass “life” experiences since the day I got my draft notice in December of ‘66 and subsequent train ride to Fort Bliss, TX in January ‘67 for basic training. Was one of a helluva ride ‘till finally returning in ‘78 to the now “USSA”. Psst, after ‘Nam in ‘69 and over a decade later, only reason I returned was loving parents still living, otherwise would have remained “hunkered down” in SE Asia where I left my heart, especially the island of Penang and Laos. BTW, the now most short-lived “USSA Empire” is headed to the same ash-heap as all other so-called “empires” since the Assyrians onward. The only reason I’m still “here” is cuz I’m to old to “bug out” and leave a Bangkok-born Chinese wife of 20+ years hang’n. For me it is the “for better or worse” promise before the Almighty. First “go-around” was a Thai lady after a faithful 25 years together who past from pancreatic cancer in 2001. That’s my problem after previous “global vagabonding” for awhile: lots of past loves from many divergent cultures and unable to address them all w/ my last grasping/wrenching breath. So, here I must remain, stuck in a “Nation” that provided me w/ so much in my youth and is now so totally financially, socially and spiritually . . . BANKRUPT. BTW, for those not wanting to watch the entire 1923 series, the beautiful love affair between Spencer and Alexandria begins at 35:00, second episode.
