    Every thought, has a eloquent counter, perfect peace, is threatened by unjust war, the wind blows, soon to still, my heart, never will.

    The years pass, early dreams fade, and slowly slip, away. Be thankful for our dreams, anew.

    Peace: often a harder choice, than war. Lies: often an easier path, than truth. #thought

    Economics, as justification for war? Why does it seem I have seen this sentiment, before. Wrong it was then, and is no less so, now.

    Does anyone remember the crucifixion of Michael Jackson in the court of public opinion, as hosted by the mass-media? http://bit.ly/CGApTR

    Public opinion, is like a seductress’ kiss, it sways first that way, then this…

    Is fate’s flow, the universe’s hidden pulse? #thought

    Lies, sufficient for a lifetime. Love, sufficient for a day. #thought

    Bitten, by an unseen bug, is remedy for its affliction, to be enveloped, in a loving hug. A tender touch is cure, for most any ill.

    Our Luna, in wondrous perigee, has stripped all joy from me. Fade fast, that I might lift up my eye and be not brought to so sad a sigh.

    The worst of business travel is how you go places, yet never visit, or get to know them.

    I’ve traveled the world, witnessed the sun, fully shaded by the moon, and held hands in the smoke that thunders.

    Yet the most exotic place to which I’ve ever been, is right here, deep inside my very own dreams. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0054RFWU2

    As long as they don’t hear you, you can laugh at whoever you wish.

    True patriotism is a love of country, not blind obedience to government. #thought

    A government suspicious of its citizens deserves its citizens’ suspicion. #thought

    I’ll cut the metaphor, for a moment. For revealing the “without due cause” surveillance activities of the US Govt, Snowden is a hero.

    “All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.” – Edmund Burke. Snowden took the hard road, and did something.

    The heart isn’t hurt by words never heard. #thought

    RT “@Agapi71 the heart is hurt, by words unheard.” Beautiful counterpoint.

    I’ve got nothing against blocked accounts that let me follow back, but the ones that won’t? Sorry, but I’m not going to play that game.

    Social media, a place in which we only see, faces painted, by deception’s art. #thought

    Here the only things I’ll ever see, are the words you choose, and share with me.

    Censorship: just another tool in the arsenal of the influential.

    What a sad day it is when the land of the free strives to silence the brave. @AFP

    “Ryntam’s figure commonly drew the secretive eyes of men” http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0054RFWU2 The glances we grant, with desire others not see. #thought

    so many memories, so many words unsaid, so many words, withheld.

    Are regrets the building blocks of dreams? #thought

    A 742 mile drive awaits me on the morrow, so it is time for me to end today. #goodnight

    Back to basics for me, in a motel with 6 rooms total. They actually left the lights on, and the door to my room unlocked. Wonderful!

    Feel no sorrow for the words we lose, for they are the ones others get to use. #thought

    Let pretentious pricks be the ones to burst their own bubbles. #thought

    Words, things most are willing to impart, yet which few will willingly take to heart. #thought

    Ignorance of the past ensures ignorance in the future. #thought

    Homo sapiens: an allegedly intelligent species apparently incapable of learning from its many mistakes.

    Fear has no place here. #thought

    A genuine smile relieves the most dismal mood. #thought

    Anyone who admits to telling a lie, tells the truth. Anyone who claims never to have lied, is a liar. #thought

    Does anyone else find it creepy to be followed by locked accounts that won’t let you follow them back? I’m considering blocking them.

    The consensus is in, got a lock on your door, and won’t let me in… It’s goodbye to you, since I’m slamming mine.

    to the future, yet unknown, though for some it’s set in stone. To the road, stretching out ahead, or simply, around the bend… @RnbwCuntry

    How much we miss in just a day, so much to see, so much to say, a day away, only one day, away.

    The heart knows, the mind resists. #sixwords

    Back at home, where sanity prevails, and the trials of work fade and pale, at least for the remainder of today… @RnbwCuntry

    Got to go, books to read, dreams to dream, and promises, to keep. #goodnight

    It is that time of week, and day, a time for us to play, do the deed, #FF is today.

    Little lies are sometimes better, than little truths. #thought

    My friends that overwhelm, are those, who seldom sell. #thought

    Gauge success by the mounting count of our shortcomings. #thought

    A single loss teaches us more than a dozen victories. #thought

    The things we choose to call ourselves matter not a whit, what matters, is what others hear, and the titles they grant twits. #thought

    One of my favorite things to tell my kids, when they look at me askance, is this – You have no idea how funny I think I am!

    Humor: hider of those little slights, healer of the smaller wounds. The scar-tissue, of words at play, so easily gone astray. #thought

    For those that would like a change of pace, and a chance to see a lovely face, my daughter http://www.maxim.com/hometown-hotties/dannielle-athens-oh … Please vote for her. RT!

    There is a use for Facebook! It shows a timeline of my tweets, with all my idle chatter stripped away. https://www.facebook.com/Author.CGAyling

    How is it that debts accrue, no matter what we seem to do. #thought

    Memories remain. Memories, of mine… These, are the memories that define. ~ My personal blog post and poem, on #PTSD http://bit.ly/CGAptsd

    What a sad fate is this to be torn from Twitter, so remiss. {Off on a business trip.}

    Make no mistake, Malmaxa is a complex tale with a full Glossary. http://bit.ly/CGbM1g Seems some readers don’t realize it’s there.

    Our yesterdays all lead to today, but where will today take us? #thought

    Absolute power is never absolute, it’s an illusion that will inevitably pass. #thought

    The problem with pictures, is context – without context images can mislead as much as inform. #thought

    If you truly believe that, then every life is preordained and nothing anyone does, or doesn’t do, matters. I don’t believe that. @AchtooTsz

    Cast kind words to soothe, not questions that intrude. #thought

    Corrupt elders corrupt the young, till the young age and learn truth for themselves, Then they choose, and are elders, or free. #thought

    So many words, hidden within words, so many layers, till we see. #thought

    The problem with evidence that requires an expert’s eye, is that the expert’s eye, can lie. #thought

    Sleep, stealer of time, granter of dreams. She takes away hours, and gives you a glimpse of eternity. #goodnight http://bit.ly/CGAptsd

    Scars, tough protectors of the flesh, tender shields about our memories. Scars, insensitive within the flesh, easily torn from our soul.

    Sometimes we hide things with deliberate intent, others, we find things, we never thought we said. #thought

    Some memories, I wish I could forget, and yet, without them, would I still be me? #thought

    Twitter: the place for those who think.

    You can fake it for a while, but insincerity will get you, every single time. #thought

    How rude am I to begin my day without wishing every father, a Happy Father’s Day!

    And now to cast Twitter aside for a while, in favor of a blog post for those things more ponderous than 140.

    Were I to die today, I’d leave my children my love, for what better thing, than returning to them, that which they give so freely, to me.

    Happy Fathers' Day, from one father, to every other, everywhere. https://cgayling.com/malmaxa/2013/06/fathers-day-2013/ …

    Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder – my thoughts on this debilitating, yet vital ailment. http://bit.ly/CGAptsd

    Another work week begun, and no, it ain’t gonna be fun.

    If you think you can’t effect change, then you can’t and they’ve already won. #thought

    The tragedy, is that so many of us think life must surely be better for everyone else, yet is it only better, for very few. @littleearthbird

    What @Twitter needs – an “Acknowledge” button that can’t be scripted. “Favorite” and “I read your comment” are definitely not the same.

    Battles are things I once strove to win, now hindsight grants me better vision, and make me doubt I’ll ever battle, again. @joypathall

    Angels, hidden in a devil’s eye.

    Before you condemn, consider. #thought

    Love, to be freely granted, never compelled. #thought

    The meek deserve compassion, not derision. #thought

    A horribly hectic week drawn to a close, time to put up my feet, and doze.

    Well, the putting up my feet part is true, since I’ll be climbing trees killed by the Emerald Ash Borer, and cutting them down.

    The only ones left un-scared by war, are war’s instigators, for they are the ones who never enter the fray. #thought

    While there is a time for kindness, and a time for truth, the truthful should always strive to be kind. #thought

    Equality is the birthright right of every person – no exceptions, no excuses. #thought

    what a delightful, un-obvious question @TorontoLydia Some truths are inherently cruel, while some people are inherently kind. @Hvnsglow

    What cruelty would it be, to make the kind proclaim cruel truths. Truth, it seems, is not absolute. #thought

    How does one thank those to whom thanks are due, when they are many, and you, are less than few… #thought

    Where, have all the good looks gone, gone from people, every one… save a very very few, and of that few, not one will share. #thought

    At lunch today my wife asked “Do you suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder?” As I blinked away a tear, and hid, I knew, I did and do.

    In war are no winners, only the vanquished, and the victims. #thought

    The puppet masters pull our strings, they make us dance, while they laugh, and sing.

    The real cost of education, is to the country foolish enough to deny it to its citizens. #thought
