Sweet William

I have yet to define the reasons and, or events in my life that culminated in the future grooming of my "civilised" character makeup. Things happen for a reason?! Shit happens?! KAKA occurs?!!! Idunno. However, what did happen to me and the people in my life that were involved are very much the reason who I am today. "No. I don't hold you accountable".

And, for what seems like an infinitesmal portion of my growing years there was the influence of "W". Do not take it out of context. We all have an opportunity to evolve as humankind on the chain of morality vs. mortality.

"W" was the Phineas in my life, unbeknownst to me. He was the mentor of my cadence?! My, shall we say, sophisticated upbringing from the previous life I had known. No,..no "swapping of spit, here, you pervs"!

He was the artistic influence I needed unknowingly, and the spiritual guidance I never knew.

I'd met "W" in our early years in HS. He was by far, the most "different" of my friends, yet very unopposing and most important to me, non-"jockular". At that time in my life I was very keen to the "jocks" playing pranks upon me and torturing me with their "bullish" testosterone laden libidoes (weighing 95lbs in HS was not the greatest thing to happen to a little Dude!).

There was "W", however. And he as well as myself were all knit into that group I would nowadays describe as, "misfits".

"W" had charisma; had a zeal for life that one could digest into parts of a Shakespearean play, the characters being ourselves, of course.

How does one describe such a character?! He is and remains perplexing, an enigma. His virtues in this life remain true to his being. If ever there were trust to be held utmost, I would turn to "W".

I wanted to write something. I am at a loss. I'd like to say more, but can not. Not that I can't, but not that I wish not to. I'll say this, if ever I were to want to understand religion and righteousness, I would turn to "W". I have yet to meet anyone so humbled by life and humble in character. He is a man of true "conviction" by his faith. I am awed by how much.

He is a friend from my past that I cannot make light of when the light eminated from his character could have led throngs.

I once would have, but now would, equate him with Jesus by his mortality and morality. Forgive me if I have stepped upon toes for that one.

I speak only for me. That is the reason for this blog.

"W" was the other influence in my life.

Peace and Love, my Friend.
