Harrowing Deaths over Decades of History Part V

He harbored “a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood”.  He harbored “a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice”.  He harbored a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character”.  He harbored “a dream that one day down in Alabama with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, one day right down in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers”.  He harbored a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together”.  He harbored a dream that day.  He harbored a dream August 28th, 1963.

On this date twenty years ago, a nightmare unfolded before my very eyes as a television set aired airplanes attacking the Twin Towers in New York City.  Fortunately, the footage never got farther than there to the Pentagon and much less Pennsylvania after the wreckage wrought out of iron.  Both buildings went down in flames like ashes, but the Pentagon when the third structure looked the worse for wear.  Between the smoke plus the original frame color, the clear image grew awfully hazy meaning no one could tell the difference from the Pentagon or the plane debris once there occurred a collision.  However, a humongous hole entered the roof which carved a gap atop the star-shaped ceiling ending the Pentagon’s prior privacy.  Everything changed that day, even though the high school experience just began a little over almost a month ago for a freshman ninth grader whom would graduate the fifth top of her class four years later with a full ride scholarship then a new car at a university.  Now, the young woman sold her vehicle since she can recall the day her dad watched a plane flying into the Pentagon three blocks away from a mid-city Washington, D.C., conference hotel.

Harrowing Deaths over Decades of History Part IV

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.  This phrase means that one can love people or things more when one goes separate from them.  During 1850, an author named Thomas Haynes Bayly popularized this saying through his work entitled Isle of Beauty.  This work, published in 1850, contained the phrase from the last line to a song.  However, possibly the expression or the idea behind the expression, existed before that year.  One variation of this phrase that carries the same meaning goes like distance makes the heart grow fonder.  Also, another phrase turn includes absence makes the heart grow stronger.  This saying absence makes the heart grow fonder means that keeping from someone can strengthen the affection between two people.  

Does this theory hold true for those who no longer roam the earth with the people they left behind them?  Love ones desert their family because their bodies became dust.  Ashes feel dirty and unclean, which makes the dead person look ugly.  As a spirit with a soul, the corporal being took sacred flight.  CPR will not work on a corpse whether fresh or not young.  Heimlich maneuver will not work on a corpse whether fresh or not young that does not breathe.  First aid will not work on a corpse whether fresh or not young that does not breathe.      

Photosynthesis involves the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water.  Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll that generates oxygen as a byproduct.  Photosynthesis used a process by plants and other organisms to convert light energy in chemical energy that, through cellular respiration, can later release which will fuel the organism's activities.  Photosynthesis synthesizes the process for which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide that create oxygen plus energy from the form of sugar.  Love ones travel faster than the speed to light through universe.


They’re like the wind.  Touch of a dear comrade who passed away can feel akin to a breeze through hair.  More common would mean the flutter from the angels’ wings.  Aviary tools or limbs take flight which vibrate rhythm crescendo.  In other words, the sound creates music to our ears.  Though, the angels hear the world’s smallest violin playing beside their celestial transparent face.  Eventually, the noise echoes a cacophony banging off heaven’s walls above earth.  Discordance stirs enmity between heaven and earth turning conflict into world war.  Judgment day will come soon rather than late on this trajectory path.
