Can't take it with you

Riches oh what things we have gathered in our lifetime.The rich man and all his belongings and the poor man living on the street in dirty rags. The street has a way of humbling the mightiest spirit. Don't get me wrong many a well to do person has a very good honest spirit. It's not the riches that corrupt ones soul. But the ego that steps upon others to get its own way. The ego that lies steals and cheats to obtain riches or that other mans wife. We all cross over in spirit no hidden nickels here my friends. Spirit you shall cross over in wether weak or strong but in spirit you shall meet your maker. Many a poor man shall be found evil right along with the rich. Possessions matter not it's the character the giving the love we have gathered that will see you safely across the river! Laugh all you want at crazy Mr. Risings ramblings mind gone mad years ago. hee but beware when you scoff at each other they are listening and taking notes there's no fooling the almighty. The pure and meek have nothing to fear. Listen not the rich and poor but the meek. Possessions mean not weather you have a lot in life or nothing it's you how you treat others and act towards one another.So be happy, loving and giving when you can and help one another and don't scoff or look down upon the needy and disfigured. It's the color of your soul that counts! Jamerson Rising

Wish I had the old farm back.

So many people with the same names this blog for instance there is another Jamersons Corner. Looking through my family tree I was amazed at how many people had the same names even in such small towns back then. I had very good luck checking household members and neighbors in my quest for my past the Indian side is the toughest to find. My great grand fathers hid their wife's from the reservations and changed their names in some cases.I had better luck with the French and Portuguese sides of the family. So many Avila's Baca's and Aragon's wow. After three weeks still going in circles and my name hee good luck haha. You know back then most of the people were farmers now I wish I had some land and a place of my own to grow what I want. I would do just fine trust me. Some day I have the money I just need the right place. Every one well most every one ran off to the big cities tired of the hard work on the farms. Factories were popping up every where now they are almost all gone and some of them farmers children wish that they had their land back. I feel ya myself included in that wish Having a farmer economy with the technologies we have today would not be such a bad Idea. I'm all for being self supportive. Food water and shelter that's the basics to survive some where we have lost this. Well folks get ready for the future and remember them basics when you try to plan your life out. Jamerson Rising.

Rat race let it go.

Back to taking the bus and the light rail to work and another bus then I a nice mile long walk total time two and a half hours. Some people may think I'm crazy and some or just sure of it haha. Well I get a free pass for working on the city buses at night. I don't have to ride at all if I choose not too but this time gives me time to watch the city and just walk and pass some great trees which I simply adore. I like to just read a good book some times and be at peace in this fast passed world. You see so many of us are just so caught up in this rat race. Like mice in a maze we try to find the easy way out. Their is so much to life to enjoy breath it in yes soak it in it can be a very wonderful experience. Attitude don/t let the rat race suck you in learn to relax and not take things so personnel. Let the anger go let the people who trouble you in life let the worrying about how to deal with them go be happy smile and let the anger go.Some think this is very hard all you have to do is retrain your thinking the glass is half full I didn't win but what a wonderful experience trying that is what life is about the experience and love and caring. We humans have been at war way to long if only mankind learned to let go of all this needless evil and be more sharing caring and loving. I'm guilty too. At times don't lose focus chin up there smile and try again see the beauty in a child's eyes the harmony in nature the smell a beautiful flower that view of the landscape. Beautiful sunsets and sunrises my favorite the stars up above what gifts we have in our mists and we waste them on trying to out smart out con and just plain old being mean to each other what nonsense. Be in peace my friends and hug them little ones and put bells on the baby's shoes and keep a eye on them and every thing will be just fine.Jamerson Rising.
