I like it Buddah. I think a restless search for external gratification being replaced by gratitude and inner peace.

Dr -

Thanks for the compliment, but I think I was fixating on an Peter Paul's Almond Joy (not the references to chocolate, coconut and Joy). In either case, thanks for reading and your thoughtful comment.

ahh! clever indeed - I love poetry that hides good treat inside!

I guess the thing I was trying to hit on with my Montana Wildhack blog (I was severely inebriated when I wrote it, lol) was Vonnegut's alien's (the Tralfamadorians) strange view of time happening all at once. Thus when they saw a dead body they saw it as that person being at a low quality state at the time and they would focus their view on happier times with the saying "and so it goes."

So why happines may be ephemeral, maybe what we need to do is look at the Big Picture of this thing we call our life.

And...so it goes.

(dammit. I'm stone cold sober and I'm still not making any sense)

Sometimes you feel like a nut. Sometimes you don't.

I liked it too, Buddah.

I have a big thing for Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, mostly unrequitted these days though.

I'm not familiar with Almond Joy's. They sound very tasty.
