A Hill of Beans

January 12, 2015 By ChuckBehrens Leave a Comment

Depressed or Inspired? What do you feel like after you watch this brief video?

If our life were measured in Jelly Beans, forget about asking what Color or Flavor you’d be…how many of them would you have wasted by now…how many thousands?

The only way our life is worth a Hill of Beans is if we’re willing to make them. . .

MAKE THEM COUNT!

You don’t have to be a Mathematician or a Numerophile…you don’t even have to like Jelly Beans but as the makeshift of a old cliche goes:

YOU DON’T HAVE COUNT YOUR BEANS (DAYS) SO MUCH AS MAKING YOUR BEANS (DAYS) COUNT!

Let me give you an equation that makes us all Mathematicians:

All the beans in the world don’t count except just ONE…the ONE you have left. . .the ONE you have
today!

So, we already know how to count a Bean of one. . .the 28,835 dollar question is:

H O W

are you making it COUNT?

Quick. . .you may a few beans to spare. . .

but not another Moment.

Sometimes DOWN is Really UP

Sometimes, down is really up!

Interesting, huh?

Actually, it’s much more than THAT…much, much more than just interesting.

Anyone can play around with words.

Anyone can make words say or work for them in any particular way seen fit.

Anyone can say what they mean but often not mean what they say.

S E M A N T I C S. . . .

Hmmmmmm…THE STUDY OF MEANING IN LANGUAGE. IT CAN BE APPLIED TO ENTIRE TEXTS OR TO SINGLE WORDS….

or just a fancy way to say we can make words say what we want them to whether or not you take them that way or not. . .

or just a fancy way to say, “I DIDN’T MEAN THAT–YOU TOOK IT THE WRONG WAY!”

Sometimes, down is really up.

When you JUST hear with your ears. . .

When you Just hear with your eyes. . .

You just don’t hear everything that’s being said or meant; THAT just doesn’t make for a LOST GENERATION…it just makes for plain out being L O S T.

Psssst: Maybe the new DOWN actually is UP?

Try Listening with your heart!

If you speak from THAT PLACE, Semantics go out the door that is suddenly Hinge-LESS and Meaning is never MIS-understood.

You choose!

Sometimes Down is really UP. . . .

Shhhhhhh….

Huh? What’s that?

We Are Each of These

May 9, 2014 By ChuckBehrens Leave a Comment

It’s the absolute Truest thing about any One person that any One person doesn’t actually believe.

. . .That we are MORE!

When someone asks us what we do, we usually have A answer for them, and seldom does it include more than just ONE thing.

Oh, we’ll shout it all day long and half of the night, that, “WE ARE THE SUM PARTS OF ALL OUR LIFE EXPERIENCES…”

“Do-Dah, Do-Dah,” right? We’ve sung the song, most of the verses, many times over haven’t we, and yet we still at our very core don’t actually believe that we are P L U R A L and not Singular?

Few of us would argue, debate or disagree with George Washington Carver when he tells us:

“HOW FAR YOU GO DEPENDS OF BEING TENDER TO THE YOUNG
COMPASSIONATE TO THE ELDERLY
SYMPATHETIC TO THE STRIVING
TOLERANT TO THE STRONG AND THE WEAK. . .
BECAUSE ONE DAY. . .ONE DAY. . .YOU WILL HAVE BEEN EACH OF THESE!”

IT is one of my most biggest fears (after Snakes and the Dentists)

MY BIGGEST FEAR

YOU WILL SEE ME
THE WAY
I SEE
MYSELF. . . .
