In church I learned to believe in love. How to feel God's World. I believe Jesus believed
he was the son of God, and died for our sins. That is enough. The lessons he imparted should matter far more than how
he arrived and departed.

This is where I entered the World, between Kennedy's violent exit, and America's embracing of the Beatles.
I believe an unusual energy, a heightened state of conscience, was created during this period of mourning. The Beatles
arrived to assist this elevated conscience that blossomed through the sixties. Though still a young pup,
I absorbed a healthy portion of the vibe.

Sir Charles Chaplin, another pusher of the Conscience: So much so that they pushed him out of the U.S. He fertilized
and grew the film industry, gave us invaluable lessons on capturing emotional truth, and they thanked him with
exile. Ah, the story is sounding familiar.
Like The Beatles, Chaplin's been a hard act to follow.
Children are not meant to be tiny consumers. Their time for being nurtured and disciplined is not utilized
effectively. Their right to enjoy an innocent childhood has been replaced by economic empowerment. Now
when children snap their fingers, parents respond with their wallets. It is quite comical.

I've watched churches lose their captive audience to Sunday shopping and the magnetic
pull of the media. The service we attended after 9/11 included an announcement for tickets to their upcoming Murder
Mystery Night. My wife and I walked out.
Nearly thirty years passed between Pearl Harbour and the making of Tora Tora Tora, an excellent film
that was coproduced to depict both the Japaneese and US perspectives. It is interesting to see what the creaking
of time can do. Let's hope ' Little Boy ' can find a better way to conclude this ongoing plot.
Chaplin found his Oona. John found his Yoko. And Chris found his Irene. In all three of these instances,
there is a noticable age gap. We feel that we complete each other further because of this nuance. We
are a unique couple, and we generate unique reactions, which constantly serve to strenghten our bond. Throughout our
journey we have come to know that Iove really is all you need.
