#70 Phenomenon




If a piece for S.S. ever turns out to be what I planned, that will be a phenomenon.

I was going to write about the phenomenon of long lasting marriages. The extraordinary effort required on the part of both partners to stay married to the same person for 40 years is a rare enough occurrence to qualify as an impressive, remarkable event.








But then I thought about the first time I witnessed a lens implant in a person's eye for the treatment of a cataract. At the time I remarked that this was truly one more miracle of modern medicine.










The idea of writing this scribble on a blog through the internet had me pondering about the practice of communicating with people from all corners of the planet quickly and even simultaneously. The enormity of the number of improbable connections that are made minute to minute "bloggles" the mind. We "talk" across the backyard fence of the internet to real people from every continent. Something here-to-fore we could only imagine doing.

The above thoughts and ideas were coalesced over the course of yesterday in a vague manner, and then this morning more concretely. I set these aside as I set out to meet my wife of forty plus years for breakfast at the new diner that opened recently. During our repast the conversation turned to my mental outline for a piece to write about about God, heaven, and the Catholic Pope saying the Catholic church was the one true church (Not for today's post.)

Now, if I'm right, or even if I'm not, if the concept is as believable as Dan Brown's Story about Jesus marrying Mary Magdeline and having children. And, if I write a book about my concept and it's as wildly successful as the Da Vinci Code...... That indeed would be PHENOMENAL!






OH!---You thought I was going to tell you what my idea is?

I'm off to start writing the first draft of this work of fiction.
