Pigeon Ramblings

It is written that true happiness is not having what one wants--but rather wanting what one has. If any man too easily can get everything that he wants, then this is not a formula for happiness.

Now, a man may bring a strain of flying tipplers from some long dead Englishman's issue or even from a more Modern Tipplerman who holds world records. At best, the purchase is only the raw material. To do well, a man has to become an artist, an enthusiast. He must get inside the tiny minds and souls of his tipplers. As my excellent friend Richard Kehrer of Redding CA USA says, "We learn from our tipplers as much or even more, than our tipplers learn from us." Well, he hits the nail on the head--doesn't he?

Modern man has so little time. Modern man is more of a slave than his counterpart of the 1920's or 30's. Modern man has so very much and he has everything except time for his own personal interests. He cannot usually have a lot of time on his own --to be close to nature and closer to god. For in truth, I say unto you that a man must escape from the rat race and be on his own--away from the demands of his job and his responsibilities. 

However, I do declare, that any man who loves to see his pigeons high in the sky--free, free, free, like no man has ever been and without any thought of glory or fame then he has been touched by his god, but we all should know that god sure has a sense of humor, OK? ...
