Muzzily I Twaddle Along

Yesterday I celebrated the biggest birthday I've ever had. Not big in terms of significance, as most would consider significance. But big numerically. Sometimes you just have to state the obvious.

Why is this important? Because the older I get, the muzzier I feel at times, and the more I tend to twaddle. It used to scare me. Now I'm getting used to it. Sometimes I even find a gem hiding there in the muzziness that I want to take note of for myself, and maybe even share with someone else.

Having made that statement, that admission, I find myself at risk of being misunderstood, taken for a fool, considered inept, obsolete, to be ignored. But, while there are things I forget or don’t get at all, there are other things, more important things, that I know and understand more clearly now than ever. These are the essentials in my life. These are the basics, the fundamentals, the truths on which I base all that I am and all that I do. These are eternal truths that many today would consider untrue, or at best, optional. These are the things that many rage against today. These are the things for which I and others are labeled intolerant.

So I will twaddle muzzily along looking for hidden gems. I will enjoy them and sometimes share them, and never stop talking about the basic fundamental truths that have always been true and will never stop being true. Because it is Truth that sets us free.
