AnOddBox – Looking for a Patch (Adams)…?

By Ronald Crampton Unpublished

  

As a child my two most favorite heroes where Conan the Barbarian and Jesus… As a child my father figure was Charles Ingalls and my home was a little house on a prairie… As a child the figures I sought after were of a Master, a Student, and two funny Droids that fought against the dark side… As a child I loved the magic of a story… The magic of adventure… The magic of fright… The magic of courage… The magic of friendship… The magic of love… The magic of hope… The magic…, of the air…

Since stepping out of the dreams of a child there has been a recurrence of a thought… Throughout the years as I lay my head on this pillow of sleep; oh, how it would be if this night held my last breath… I do not believe in a hell, thus I do not fear… I do not want to go to heaven, thus it is but a tear… There is no magic of a story… No magic as a child… Just the dark; oh, how it would be if this night held my last breath… But I again wake…, to just another day…

I started reading a book… The book taught of tricks… The tricks would get people to talk with you… The tricks would make people like you… It is interesting that I was taught these same tricks in the application of my profession… Listen… Reflect… Affirm… With personality, the tricks are rather easy and it really is not that hard to make someone like you… The question of Character is: What did you make them like…? The test of Character is: Do they like… You…? The book tells me that we cannot see the question… We fail the test… The book tells me…, it is just another day…

Day after day it is like a perpetual Groundhog Day… I often find myself empathetic to Arthur Mendelson, walking around yelling four to a world that seems can only see four… I am of the like… I see Character of life in a plague of personality that is linear and cannot see the air…

One of my most favorite concepts is… To paint the air… How but by magic…, can we see the air…? How but by magic…, does one paint which is held in the seeing of the air…? It would seem only by magic… could we paint the air… But it truly is not that hard… The seeing of the air is like seeing beyond four… Painting the air simply lies within the eight… However, like Arthur Mendelson, seeing beyond four can tear the mind…, rip the heart…, and cover the spirit in endless days of darkness…, wishing for a last breath… Seeking… A Patch (Adams)…

AnOddBox topic: I seek a Patch (Adams) to help me hope again… To be as a child again… I want to breathe in a different day… I wish to paint the air… Is there a Patch (Adams) out there…?

I encourage you to reply…
