Here comes the sun... I think

https://vimeo.com/913539954?share=copy Hi everybody. You know I often think back to other time periods sometimes. I jog down some notes about it and then go through those notes on an early Sunday. Well, thinking back to that time period. I often made pals from buddies I met while serving in the army during the “Korean Conflict”. A little after the fighting had stopped, eighth army headquarters began the process of reassigning me from one area to another, I found myself in a much more comfortable life situation then having to perform “Intelligence and Reconnaissance” duties, many times in some dangerous areas of the Korean countryside. I was glad to get the hell out of there. Prior to my being transferred most of us had experienced many false alarms announcing how the “Korean Conflict” would soon be quickly coming to its end. Well, this time the announcement was actually taking shape. But first…I’d like you to bear with me as I share a couple of days leading up to a monumental change for many of Americans like me who were simultaneously experiencing a similar happening. Within my mind set though, and never since have I experienced any of such exacting circumstances… and personal self-revelations from yours truly.   God had paid tribute to the people of the world on that day. It was July 27, at exactly 9:00PM there were many of us that night who gave thanks together as one. It occurred, that this mixed group of soldiers, so conceived by people from the world over, this one moment in time. We became spiritually imbibed. Remaining with me, forever etched, and perhaps an instrument parceling my soul forever… Seeking maintenance for my new spiritual demeanor  American service men and women  became one  Relenting magic took hold without warning  nor artificial truths  teams molded, clasped hands silently praying groups formed These young all together not ever again troubled by passage of time Would God answer prayers  All stood in the early hours Waiting enmeshed in dreams within this new world Lord, had peace been delivered  Sleep had cleared our eyes and though studying outside no one spoke. Fearful reality remained within  all together This patriotic band believing  the fighting would   not begin again  During the wee hours  without design, covered by a still darkness Without design many drifted outside into formation  Within the darkness quiet prayers were heard The dawn of the next morning  belief coveted us all Awakened  boys were heard becoming men Without words of explanation a circle of troopers had formed We gathered together as one With new light sunlight had replaced the darkness

Faces reflecting sentiment of prayers answered. I truly believe during that one moment in time, there was a divine meaning we shared together, one and all. Boy’s becoming men experience took hold that warm evening in July 1953. When the hand from a loftier place then we knew, brought us all together to stand knowingly as one anew.
