Brave Little Gerda Knows More Now

[Gerda]

Part ways?! !!!

I almost fell off my perch when I read that and had to look through my post to see where you could have found that idea!

That was just a METAPHOR, Green Cape! I meant leaving you at the crossroads of one truth versus many. We are two philosophers discoursing on truth. We will keep strolling through this Forum (PUN INTENDED!!!!!) discoursing even if I can't convince you or you can't convince me of this one particular thing.

In short, I meant that usually we are like the parents offering slightly different paths to the same idea to our confused children, but that this time we might actually have a really different idea and yet on those separate paths are still both kind and loving and God-loving and trying to guide our kids to the light, whether the kids are the literal kids or the LBS newbies taking their baby steps towards clarity.

(And you did not convince me. I mean, you didn't need to convince me of your greatness, that we know I know and all know. But I haven't figured out how to make my point clearer. I can only say that we have to read the world. We have to read the MLCer. (And of course we have to read Hitler or we end up like 95% of Germans, helping the project move forward out of confusion about the truth.) We must forgive the MLCer for our sake, his/her sake and our kids' sake. But we have to read the MLC clearly -- his/her actions, rhetoric, sense of justice, parenting, etc -- or we'll end up like.... well, like Gerda, 2012 - 2019. Maybe Gerda 1995 - 2019. Not to mention Gerda 2019-2021 trying to dig her way out of the outcome of 2014-2019.)

My last few posts have not been understood in the way I intended. Cause for reflection. Since writing is my thing. As well as rehabbing wrecks. I haven't reported on that in a while and sorely wish I could send photos. The cottage is coming along sloooooowly but nicely. Alongside the wreck of Gerda, slowly rehabbed.
