The Lyrics From Billy's Forest Chapter 110

Listen to "The Lyrics From Billys Forest Chapter 110" on Spreaker. I got into a huge conversation with a Pastor yesterday about developing friendships. I was honest, "Friends in 2018 are an investment. It requires time, space, forgiveness, growth and your mother's kitchen sink. I don't feel the development of such a term is a good way to utilize time. Therefore I build and create relationships based 100% on the value of the moment." His reaction was immediate, "How would you describe our weekly conversations? Are we friends?" Now... Before I tap out my response let me clearly point out how high school teachers never talk about is how fast life moves. Many of those in action never take one step due to a connection that can't be let go. The weight of our past is so enormous that the idea of reaching beyond the localism of self is an invisible path pointed every place but here. Harsh? Not really. First, I love all my childhood friends. If the moment arrives to break bread I'll always locate the time, space, forgiveness and growth to pull our criticisms together. Maybe it's a entertainment world thing. Not just radio but all places of creativity and art. We don't walk into a performance seeking 30 years in the biz. We press forward by accepting that today could be the moment. Look at what happened with Rosanne. I found myself totally concerned about John Goodman and the other cast members. What about the production crew and the marketing department? I just read that Sears is closing more doors. Will the employees that spent long hours busting tail and sweating through the storm continue that line of connection? Once it's over a tremendous amount of mourning takes place because your heart is craving that friendship. Friends are what we do on Facebook. We see the numbers in that little box. Holy cow I have over 3,000 friends. Look I have a billion likes! This is stretching but I no longer try to use the word "at" It's not a word anymore. Its a symbol @. When I hear "at" I think web address. When I hear friend. I instantly go to the fake false world of who just happened to click that button. The investment should be on relationships based 100% on the value of the moment. What can we do together to put energy in growth and the space required to keep you on time without doing something that may lead to forgiveness?
