Hurricane Katrina Starts the Odyssey

Hurricane Katrina Starts the Odyssey
Fate Perpetuates It

29 May 2010

You get over it; but you don't get over it.

Perhaps the greatest story of "getting over it" is told in history; war, to be exact. 

Today I saw the movie, "Battle Of The Bulge" (1965) A crack Nazi unit holds off the Allies during World War II. Cast: Henry Fonda, Robert Shaw, Robert Ryan, Dana Andrews, Charles Bronson, Telly Savalis. Dir: Ken Annakin. It's a beautiful picture and then, there's the story, to boot.

I see things more deeply, the older I get. It is leveling. When you are leveled, you can cope better. You see how to "get over it," but, you don't 'actually' get over it; you just know how to cope. 

Some days, that's all it takes. Others, you lose; nothing matters. 

It is Memorial Day weekend over here in the USA. Wouldn't it be magically grand if war was history and not now?

Thanks to all you soldiers, women and men, living, injured, and dead for your brave service.
