Is being obtuse better than being acute?

Obtuse: Fully believing in the fact that I must follow the direction I have been sent

Acute: Fully believing in the fact that life is dynamic and ever changing and no one gave ME a map. It's all about the journey and the encounters along the way


You can all be both but what prevails? Do you think someone has more integrity because they believe 'tooth and nail' that "That's how it is, that's how it should be" or do you make decisions to fit the situation that make more common sense? Some rely on a library of past knowledge to guide their ship through the straights of indecision and others look at the truth at hand and focus their guidance from there to get the ship to port. I was brought up to believe that there was ONE way and that was the RIGHT way. After my fair share of years discovering that the stone left unturned is the stone with the answers, I tend to lean toward common sense. The whole staunch, stick to your ethics/values/culture, gig has run its course, in my opinion. I think an open eye and awareness is worth more than an established set of guidelines represent. Play the game, don't let the game play you. Acute.
Gotta put the fork in it right there, my ship is heading for the rox. Oh, yea, We've got an update with our combatants. The CowGirls (GC's) and the Artemesia family (the Sagebrush [SB]) have come to a collective bargaining agreement.deal  This is a ONE year deal and left to be reckoned with. The bottom line was that if the cowgirls kept their herds out of the .........Ah crap....how can you really come to odds with cowgirls and sagebrush? They HAD a bargain, now they've turned the channel and are back at odds again.... As I like to think, every time I write this, the CG's and the SB's will eventually get along. I guess the point of this post is just to let you know when to hold 'em and to know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away & know when to run. Don't get stuck in a rut, keep your mind ALIVE, and never second guess what you know is RIGHT, even if it is left. Let the one's you love know it and keep you eyes on the prize, a fulfilling life.  Carmen, OOOOOOOOOOOOOOT.

A long long time ago.....

A long time ago, I started this little foray into the blogosphere and have gotten a long way away since. Nevertheless this is about the Cowgirls and Sagebrush. The idea of "you leave me alone, I'll leave you alone" is still on the table but yet to be rectified. Neither side can come to an agreement on what that general statement means. So negotiations remain stalled for over a year now and no real progress has been made. I'll let you know if anything happens but for now they are still horn-locked and continuing their daily activities with the similar conflicts they've had for years. Neither are winning or losing. It's hard to say where this might go....

  I learned two cool phrases from the same man tonight that I thought I might share. If you check my sources, you'll find this info came from an apparently slightly [or more so] dosed fellow who actually had some words of wisdom Watch this @ the 6:00 minute mark. As simple as they were, I felt the need to share. The first one is just an interpretation of the Golden Rule but sounded more digestible: Treat EVERYTHING as you feel you SHOULD be treated. & the one that may need some interpretation: Unity Beyond Division. It says it all on it's own but to me it says, "just because we draw lines and borders doesn't mean we need to change things on the other side."

In an attempt to help the CG and the SG  find unity and possibly all of us politically jaded individuals who have seen too much crap and not enough fix. Just another reason to listen to Mother Nature and not hot air-bags.

Let the ones you love know it, and "fair you be well now, let you life proceed by it's own design" just be a good designer. Carmen, oooooooooooooooooooooooot. Like I'm in C-eh-N-eh-D-eh
