What do you think?

It needs music, maybe by Kenny Chesney, and I think it could be a big hit.



47 Minutes South-Southeast

by Bill Nelson

Let’s head out to that one place we all wanna go, a place where friends watch dolphin jump, they put on a show.

It’s a place not too far away, it’s that one place that one day, take a trip down A1A.

You know, that one place beyond the reef, 47 minutes south-southeast.


That one place where the sand is always warm and soft beneath your feet.  

That one place where the palm trees give you shade in your hammock seat.

That one place where all our good friends go to meet.

That one place beyond the reef, 47 minutes south-southeast.

 Jimmy Buffet had it right,  we all want a cheeseburger in paradise on a Livingston Saturday night, second star to the right and straight on ‘til morning.

While Otis was sittin’ on the dock of the bay watching the ships roll in and “Bluzman” whistled away, another guy took a magic carpet ride in a dream right between the sound machine.

There’s that place beyond the reef, where we can meet, 47 minutes south-southeast.


That one place where the sand is always warm and soft beneath your feet.  

That one place where the palm trees give you shade in your hammock seat.

That one place where all our good friends go to meet.

That one place beyond the reef, 47 minutes south-southeast.






It’s time to put the Blue Chair on the bow, adjust those RayBans, get ready to go.

The sun’s still shining, high and bright, manatees popping up on the left and on the right.

We’re headed out to that one place where the sand is always warm and soft beneath your feet, 47 minutes south-southeast.


That one place where the sand is always warm and soft beneath your feet.  

That one place where the palm trees give you shade in your hammock seat.

That one place where all our good friends go to meet.

That one place beyond the reef, 47 minutes south-southeast.


Take a sip, sing a song, hug your friend, move along.

Stay the course, it’s not far now to that place where palm trees shade your hammock seat.

It’s not far now, where all our good friends go to meet.

It’s just right there beyond that reef, here we are 47 minutes south-southeast.


That one place where the sand is always warm and soft beneath your feet.  

That one place where the palm trees give you shade in your hammock seat.

That one place where all our good friends go to meet.

That one place beyond the reef, 47 minutes south-southeast.

When I look into my crystal ball I see only a reflection of myself from the past, not the future.  It sort of goes like this.

It takes light from the Sun about 8 minutes to get to the Earth and reach something it will reflect off of, sending the energy that was not absorbed by the matter it bombarded with photons and electromagnetic radiation into your eye so your brain can process the visible light waves and attempt to make sense of what you might be looking at.  Yes, I know there's a lot more science behind this than the average person cares to know about, but there is even much more that I left out of this brief summary of light getting to Earth from the Sun and what happens in our body to make use of this light.  The stuff I left out is similar to the stuff that some of us are on a journey to discover as we make our way along our paths.  

I'm sure some of you might be looking to search for more about the light from the Sun (or the Son).  I'm sure some of you might be looking to find out more about how our eye and brain processes light from the Sun.  Maybe you are looking to process how "Light from the Son" is similar to light from the Sun or maybe you are wondering which came first the Sun or the light from it?  Perhaps you are on a journey of truth in the natural world.  The empirical evidence we use to understand our natural world is all around us.  Some of this is easy for us to understand and see, but there is so much that is not easily found, seen, or understood and is still only a reflection from the Sun.  Science might help us understand the natural world, but what about the supernatural world?  Is dancing in the moonlight important?

I believe the reflections of the past that we see (even if they are only about 8 minutes old) are important to understand our futures.  This is not a unique or unknown idea.  You probably have heard it many times before as some kind of history lesson.  Do not ignore these reflections as you look into your crystal ball to discover the future you seek.  Make your exodus conscious of the present and the past.

Fear None, Love All.

When Time Goes By

I have recently found that when time goes by, on some occasions, the way we used to do things may change without us ever knowing the change took place until we begin to walk in consciousness again.  Our Conscious Exodus might become lost in an unconscious moment.  Just as a snake might pass us by in an unconscious moment, time also might do this.  The snake has the ability to be there with us without us realizing it is there and we fear not due to our unknowingness.  We coexist with it in harmony as creeps on in, slithering through the tall grasses with little or no warning signals before making you aware of its presence.  You possibly never notice the snake or are aware of its existence.

As it might turn out, you could notice the snake as it either moves by you in the bush unharmed by you and you unharmed by the snake, or it strikes at you.  Given enough time to react, you might get out to the way of its bite then it speeds away as you run in the other direction.  It also could simply stare you down as you stand in front of it as still as you can be as your heart pounds in your chest with either excitement or fear of what you came upon.  You could choose to try and pick up the snake.  You could make friends with it.  You might attempt to kill the snake.  You might even feel you want the snake to bite you.   There are a number of other options you can think of that you could do to or with the snake.  You might succeed in the choice you make.  Time is similar, but more challenging to deal with.  When time goes by in this sort of situation your internal clock might speed up or slow down and it passes by in a peculiar way.  You might feel things happening in slow motion or fast forward.

Since my last post this definitely has been the case for me.   I have been on fast forward and slow motion quite a few times in the last 8 years.  Literally, I have passed by many snakes in the grasses I have walked through.  Figuratively, this is the case as well.  With both in mind, I have been snake-bitten, stared upon the faces of the snakes that I unconsciously came upon, walked away from some and ran from those I needed to run from.  I walked with some of them in harmony and even was able to react fast enough to get out the way of a few of the strikes to avoid being bitten.  My Conscious Exodus was interrupted, but my journey continued as I lost track of the time going by while I was walking with the snakes.  When time goes by the things around you change.  When time goes by you change.  When time goes by the world is changing.  The Conscious Exodus you are on continues and when time goes by your journey moves forward.

Fear None, Love All.

Fear None, Love All.  It's a hard concept to understand, but sometimes even harder to follow through with.

Stay Strong in 2015

I can say this is an amazing start to a new year.  Challenges are still becoming an evident distraction as I approach the end of the second month of the year.  I know I am not alone out there in facing the demons that attempt to interfere with this Conscious Exodus I am on.  I know all of you that have started your Conscious Exodus might also be up against great odds as you journey through the deserts and darkness of those caverns and caves.  I will stay the course and pray for you.  I ask that you do the same for me as we move forward in our Conscious Exodus.  Stay strong.  Fear None, Love All... even when you want to extinguish the enemy, remember they can one day be your friend if given the chance and shown the love they seek.

2014

Well another year begins and our thoughts should be on the future.  I know that's what I am trying to focus on.

The past is behind us and our misteaks mistakes hide there to haunt us and remind us of our humanity.  If we made a bad decision and learned from it then that is a move in the right direction.  Don't live in the past and torment yourself because of a bad choice that you may have made.  I know we have all heard this sort of advice before and probably try hard to make the future better than the past, but I am talking about using the past as part of our futures.  I am talking about looking at the past and not only learning from it, but also understanding how the past brought us to where we are in the moment.  This is what I hope for myself and all of you.  At times during the past year, my journey has brought me directly into the fire and deserts of despair, but although it felt like I would never make it to water, I did.  I even have extra water left over to share with you.

Live for your future because sometimes our Conscious Exodus isn't as wonderful as the destination we seek.

Fear None, Love All.

1 Year of Unconscious Drifting

Look for the signs of a life incomplete. The signs that something is missing.  Something that makes a person inspired to walk into the dark, and search for a light to see what is there is not always the stories we hear about.  Have you walked into the dark recently and found the light?  I know there are many extraordinary people out there that are facing many different challenges.

My heart goes out to the leaders of our world in these dark times.  My prayers are with all of the victims of the horrendous acts that were thrust upon them.  Our actions need to be focused and constructive to help us journey into a brighter world.

The recent Boston bombings and Texas explosions, the school shootings and violent attacks in the US and abroad, the conspiracies that exist to make wealthy men wealthier and the poor more desolate cannot go unnoticed.  Our freedoms and liberties are at stake and spiritual attacks on us are too frequently ignored.  Race and religion must not divide us in these times when the forces of good and evil are facing off with each other.  The nationalities of our enemies are the same as the nationalities of our friends and today if we look into our DNA we will find the ones we fight against are our relations from long ago.  Evil wins when we are consumed by jealousy, envy, hate, ego, and over zealous pride.

The non-religious are not our enemies, the other races are not our enemies, the language barriers of our world divide us and allow wicked men and women to take advantage of our ignorance.  Death is not the end nor is it the solution, but evil must be conquered and evil exists in human actions.  We are evil and they are evil.  Even our good deeds can be evil in form.  The answers are not easy.  I do not have the answers.  The answer can only exist if good is what all seek out.  Chaos and destruction awaits when this is not the focus.  How we attack evil can make us evil does it not?  Angelic Wars are not Earthly wars.  This is not the end, but merely the starting point for further investigation.  To destroy evil we must embrace evil and welcome it into a world of good, but I know my human learning's have taught me just the opposite.  Seek out and destroy the virus.  Follow orders to complete the mission and take control of the enemy through any means necessary.  These along with other teaching swell my thoughts with emotion and power as I seek to find my balance in this world.

Much more is needed to further journey on as I drift through the Universe often unconscious in my Conscious Exodus.  Fear None, Love All.....Question every one's reason for their actions.  Why did they do it?
