The Lesson: Avery and Lionel -Some Obligations Discharged

(Editor’s note: Lionel Brandon and Viktor French are not mentioned here, but oh will they: oh will they, the former policeman and the amnesiac angel.

Tonight's episode features a different Lionel.

For additional amusement find an AI and type the following:

‘Give me 10 rephrasings of the following quotation, without mentioning the words “insanity” and “different”. “Insanity is the act of doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result.”’)

Oh, I assume Avery is “five-by-five” now; twas not always so.

He was sort of flailing once, having absconded quite far afield in the vicinity of one Lionel French: twas in this respect, Lionel French took Avery into his patronage.

“Grits and roof, old boy—tuition, the full ride, end-to-end, for I believe in the fortuitous nature of our Lord. I bring it off myself in taking to you as my charge, my concern.”

Were it a popular book or film, he would have kept the sicking to himself, having become accustomed in his neural pathways to the presence of the bird, a shade of love, as it were—amazing what one can get used to.

Avery would find himself at the door, ready to resume his searching existence--

and in a scene, Lionel would urge him, as his companion, to stay--

having learned a lesson in love and acceptance in keeping the company of Lionel.

What Really Happened?

Lionel saw to Avery in such a fashion, Miramoto himself would have cheered: Machiavelli would have nodded approvingly.

He weathered Avery in a storage space—economic, you see?

He saw to the medical care of Lionel---kind words are one thing, but he was securing the very life of Lionel! No better gift!

Avery was partially at his liberty—living his own existence, making his own choices and standing by them—but had that wondrous safety net of Lionel.

Partially at his liberty, Avery, living his life un-accosted by Lionel, but at hand such that, if necessary, Lionel might intervene on his charge’s behalf.

It was as a society of men that perceived best when to apply care, and when not to interfere in one another’s insanities.

Values: cause for living and reason for hope.

The spirit is for eternity; the body is merely for servitude.  Intransigent things take only the attention of children--one must remain focused and intent, never forgetting eternity, our cause for hope and reason for not submitting blindly to indifferent earthly life.

Whatever you do, keep eternity in mind as a comparison--the present holds less sway in comparison to forever.

When in comparison, the gravitas of eternity destroys all with the brutal, incessant arms of time.

Sit on your values as if it were the Golden Egg--

be intent in your actions--

remain diligent to your values and ideals--

cultivate and curate that method--

its your ticket to happiness and health, after all.

It's your motivation.

How will you motivate yourself-

How will you stay focused- 

without clear 

-values 

-methods 

and MEASURABLE goals?

Filter everything in your path through the sieve of your own values: your actions, your emotions, and your value judgements about the life your are building. Act with intention, not from mere obligation or boredom.
