“He drew a circle that shut me out-
Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout.
But love and I had the wit to win:
We drew a circle and took him In!”

Everything is energy and that's all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality. This is not philosophy. It is physics.

My grandmother and grandfather were a hoot. Grandpa was laid back, spoiled his grandchildren, and drank a bit. Grandma, loved her grandchildren, but was more of a disciplinarian. I always laugh when I think of what she frequently said to my grandfather
"Harry, you know I don't 'low no got d#*m cussing in my house!"

When we are travellers, the world is our house and the sky is our roof, where we hang our hat is our home, and all the people are our family.- (modified from Drew Bundini Brown)
