| Damn, I wish I had the picture with me. My sis gave me a life-size Willie when I left after a visit with her in Vegas one year. People in the airport stopped me to take pictures with it! LOL! I still have it but how embarassing is it to carry a life-size Willie as a carry-on to a plane? HAAAAA!!!! |

In honor of Willie Nelson on his 77th.
I hate country music but I love Willie Nelson. He seems to be so genuine.
I love how he speaks up for the herb (which I no longer partake in). I love
what he does for farmers (I'm from the midwest). He seems so down to earth.
I went to see him live in the hopes of meeting him afterwards. We were out by the buses with a group
of his fans. Security came out and told us unless we had a pass to be there we had to leave. About the
same time Willie came out. He told security no one had to leave. He hung out with everyone taking pictures
and signing autograpghs until he got to everyone. This from a man in his late 60's at the time.
My respect for him raised tenfold after that.

I miss the "things that make you go hmmm..." thread.
Do you think if I started another one it would be removed also?
I'll wait for feedback then maybe I'll do it. Take care all! |

A couple of photos of that eagle dance I mentioned the other night.
The pics aren't spectacular but check out the shadow on the ground.
When you watched the dance the silhouette looked like a soaring eagle.
It was pretty cool.

Regardless of the fact that you don't like religion, you can not walk in to a "really nice church" with the statues and stained glass and all, and heaven forbid you step foot into the Cistine Chapel! You would be blown away and aweshocked. A really ornate church or ancient church for some reason just offers you peace when you gaze at the walls. I'm not talking about being there during service, just going in there when it is just you and this big empty place of beauty and grace.
To sit alone in a grand or ancient church just puts you at ease. I've seen long abandoned Churches and have walked the building, (and gone places a lady should not be allowed) its facinating. To be told by someone your not allowed in the area you are standing is even funnier.
There is an island off the coast of Greece that Only men are allowed to go. It is said that Mary, Jesus's mother, was given Domain over this island because it was so beautiful. Only men can tour it (they even have passports issued for the island), there is still a monistery there, but only one woman stepped foot on it, and she was ordered back off by a vision of Mary. Believe it or not !

It was quite cool. We also went to the Cave of the Winds and some cliff dwellings. It was cool there
because we happened to be there at the same time as some Indians from Oklahoma who were
doing Native American dances. One was called the eagle dance. When the sun was right you could
see a silhouette of an eagle on the ground below them. I'll post a pic of that tomorrow if anyone's
interested. Peace.

I have some great shots of the sand dunes that are to the north of that church. Ever been? I went with my little bro and mother. You would laugh.

I visited a church in Colorado that impressed me like that. It was on top of a hill. You climbed a path to get to it.
On the path were bronze statues at different points called the twelve stations of the cross. One of the more moving
things I've seen in my life. Surely not like what you described but moving none the less. This from a person who
hates religion. I'll look for pictures I have and post them. Take care.

Regardless of the fact that you don't like religion, you can not walk in to a "really nice church" with the statues and stained glass and all, and heaven forbid you step foot into the Cistine Chapel! You would be blown away and aweshocked. A really ornate church or ancient church for some reason just offers you peace when you gaze at the walls. I'm not talking about being there during service, just going in there when it is just you and this big empty place of beauty and grace.
To sit alone in a grand or ancient church just puts you at ease. I've seen long abandoned Churches and have walked the building, (and gone places a lady should not be allowed) its facinating. To be told by someone your not allowed in the area you are standing is even funnier.
There is an island off the coast of Greece that Only men are allowed to go. It is said that Mary, Jesus's mother, was given Domain over this island because it was so beautiful. Only men can tour it (they even have passports issued for the island), there is still a monistery there, but only one woman stepped foot on it, and she was ordered back off by a vision of Mary. Believe it or not !
