🎵 "O Little Town..." Life 360 and watch winders

Turning the clock...

Forward or back, depending on who, where you are, in life...

"The Circle of Strife" As I term it, come to experience it, in my office and out...includes...the strongest forces of nature (erosion, of Trust, being the chief antagonist)...accompanied by the strong will, of the people, otherwise known on this stage, as the "intransigents" (those that refuse to see a different perspective, let alone consider another's point of view, which can easily lead to lack of empathy) as well as those belligerents who reside residentially...the enemy within our walls -- "I have met the enemy, and it is...thee". 

The Counter Direction "Yes Virginia, there is..." Those who, even when being persecuted, become a bit belligerent themselves...through all the same "trials and tribulations" refuse to let go...until others who also see the light, of day. Who out-last the others in their audience ("No, you eat first, the generals should eat last") -- also known as "servant leaders" -- those that, despite years of conflict, mutual distrust, follow hope, for a change ("what do I have to lose?"). And despite attacks on character, as being meek, even a bit mild, are not afraid to look the enemy, eye to eye -- "I have met the enemy...sometimes it's even me" (known as You-mility when looking in the mirror).

Going 360: As in back to the actual basis, moral of the story, the more inclusive quote..."I have met the enemy and He is Us" -- thanks to Walt Kelly ("Pogo") from 1970, a cartoon commentary on the forces that can pollute...talk about inclusive.

Got Compass? "The hopes and fears of all the years...are met in thee tonight 🎵" Coming soon, to Bethlehem, as well as towns near-by. And where we all wind up, one way or another.

  "King David, where art Thou?" Here and Now: When I need and you most...for a quote, a tip, let alone a quip... Clever crafted commentary: At his best, in his field, "In my humble opinion..."  "Coming to you tonight..." Each and every night, assuming we welcomed him with his partner, known in our home, as simply "Chet" when we referred to him on his own, but more formally when paired with "David" as the "Huntley-Brinkley" reporting team... Distinctly Brinkley: who got called on whenever things around here, US, were on the brink... "Sow, David..." It's how I heard it, and still remember it, as he was asked to comment, well into the eve of what was casted to be his final telecast of this type, on the eve of a second coming...of the Clintons, their return to the White House...a second (merry) go round... "For the love of Mike!" While he was not shy of the microphone, having gotten used to one on his desk ...
