The Edge

My night vision is not good. The older I get the worse it seems to be.

And it isn't just my night vision that has changed. Until I was twenty-four years old, I had twenty/twenty vision—or so I thought.

In the late spring of that year I began experiencing migraine headaches. After a trip to the eye doctor I found out one eye was far sighted and one was near sighted, and this caused a strain on the better eye.

How many things in life are like that? You think things are fine, but they aren't? In investigating a book called 'The Lost Ways', the book asks several questions.

Here are a couple of quotes from the beginning of this book:

"I watch as we become ever more expectant that the world owes us a living. Consumerism has reached epic proportions; ...and struggle to cope without the internet."

—And a final quote from the end of the next paragraph:

"The truth is we have never been so disconnected from life, from the world, from the soil, from trees, and other animals, and from our souls."

I have not read this book, only snippets, but it does look like there are some good things in here. It says that it's 'edited and copyrighted by Claude Davis', and has the following info: www.askaprepper.com

The questions are simple, the answers are difficult. One of my observations has been life has a habit of making cowards of us all. And sometimes posing questions we don't want to face.

In watching a video several years ago the police were arresting a 'natural man'. We might label him more as a mountain man type that just wanted to live off the land.

His offense? He had been fishing in the river—without a government sanctioned piece of paper...a fishing license.

We are landowners, my husband and I. Yet, we can't hunt on our own land without a piece of paper. We can fish in our own pond (which our family dug) but if we have friends or family fish in our pond they must have a license.

I am not an activist. I am not a wild eyed weirdo... Maybe just a little bit, but I'm harmless. Smile here. But some of these questions need asked and answered before it's too late.

These laws and these ordinances get passed by (I hope not weirdos) people who don't live in the real world. These people don't seem to have the best interest of our citizens at heart.

And citizens need to wake up and speak up.

Here's another quote from Claudett:

What is the purpose of your life, what trace do you want left in life? Do not ask yourself the question: What do you want to do in 10 years?, Ask yourself: Who do you want to be in 10 years? "

Psalms 1:1 "Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked, Nor standeth in the way of sinners, Nor sitteth in the seat of scoffers: 2) But his delight is in the law of Jehovah; And on his law doth he meditate day and night. 3) And he shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water, That bringeth forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also doth not wither; And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper."
