Hope Walk: Different Hope: Hope Glimmers: Return Hope: (Unedited): 09 Nov 2015:

When you choose to walk out of your darkness, depression and despair in your adversity. This is when you will find your hope. 

C.J.MacKechnie

================
Different Hope: (Unedited): 09 Nov 2015: 

There is little difference between the person who has hope and the person who has no hope. They each have been convinced to decide their own way. That's all. 

C.J.MacKechnie

=================
Hope Glimmers: (Unedited): 09 Nov 2015:

The glimmers of hope you see while secluded within your deep dark corner of your self created prison cell. Is the hope which has always been within you trying to express itself.

C.J.MacKechnie

===============
Return Hope: (Unedited): 09 Nov 2015: 

The hope within you that you allow to see the light of day. Will return back to you Joy, Peace and Confidence. 

C.J.MacKechnie

===============
You always have hope. Hope is always within you. It is you who have made the decision that you have no hope. Not having hope may not have been your own original thought. You may have believed other seemingly hopeless people in your family or from your friends.

Crab Shack Lovers: (Unedited): 22 May 2015:

A beautiful Friday evening always brings out the river lovers to the crab shack. 

C.J.MacKechnie

=================
This was written just before two about to be known lovers by me, walked in. I call that interesting. The lady has dedicated her life in the helping of children who are having much difficulties. Her boyfriend has a very deep heart with much compassion and love for those who have not had fair lives. A real man. Whom is not afraid to show his heart in public. Especially, to a stranger.
==================
This out of the way semi secluded spot. Is difficult to approach and yet rewarding upon arrival. Th locals come here instead of the other popular places which just seem to be too much. Especially, after a long week of just too much. The river lovers come out to become reacquainted with one another or with the river. Some come to let loose with the band which doesn't blow apart your eardrums. What will you find? when you come out here. If you come out here. Will you remain a apart of the world mentality and know it to be just another dive joint with lousy Televisions or will you connect with other people who are there for their own reasons? Can you put down that rectangle digital light bulb thingy. Which only steals an experienced life away from you.
Can you just take in the beauty which surrounds you? Can you just open yourself up to the mystical and timeless wonders of this river? Because, when you do. Highway 19 just disappears. The homes on the other side of the river are just gone into the mists of time ever changing.
If you can get to the Crab Shack and are able to just let go of the world systems. You will discover those things which I have not even written about or even contemplated. Because all of those discoveries are only meant for you and your development.

Pithlachascotee River Crab Shack:(Unedited): 13 March 2015:

The silent tide flows of the Pithlachascotee River can be peacefully discerned by the patient soul at the hidden away Crab Shack. 

C.J.MacKechnie

========================
Finding a good place. Somewhat secluded. Can be difficult to get there with some surprising turns. Is it worth it? I think so. The locals come in with their pets and they are welcomed. So as long as they feel good about your pet. They are not afraid to say what they need to. Children run around. Take pictures with a hanging shark. Sit in my chair and just lean back against my oak tree from the bar. That is where I like to sit and just take in everyone and everything.  Look out into the water and feel the spirit of the ancient  tribes pass by in their hollowed out Cypress canoes. Can you see them as I can? There is much to feel on this water. Much peace and much life. There is an energy about it all. Can you feel it as I can.
Worry not about the out and lousy Televisions. For they will only distract you away from the energetic spirit of the whole place.
If you gotta have scantily clad girls serving you and new T.V.'s well your not going to really understand anything I write here anyway. Those places are on the other side of Highway 19.

Port Richey Crab Shack: (Unedited): 13 March 2015:

This is going to be more for my family or for those who may be interested in what happens when I write.
First I get pressure in my head almost like a rope tied to the center of my brain. Pulling me towards an unknown place/person or even a known place/person.

Last Night I walked over to the Crab shack. They were crowded. So people were lacking in patience when waiting for their food. The band was awful but they had their personal fan club present to tell them how wonderful they were. A couple of the musicians were good and played clean. But, I was not there for the band or for the music.

I have always found going into populated places uncomfortable and overwhelming. I try to avoid them as there tends to be to much information coming in. Tonight was not any different. I did find a source of focus a few times. The water and the tree. The old television. The old television had much anger in the show.


The intoxicated lonely reliving her history in the music remembered.
The young couple on an undesired date. In which no connection being made.
The mature couple making their physical re-acquaintance to one another.
Friendly interactions all around. The celebration of some real estate victory.
Private people being together. Absorbing others enjoyment.
The impatient one who cannot wait for their food and cashes out.

The physical highlights.
Gentle breeze.
Crab Shack.
Leaves on the tiki floor.
Oak Tree

The non physical highlights.
 Letting go or freeing yourself of worries and troubles.
The beauty of it all.
Nervousness
Uncertainty.
Victory.
Courage.
 ============================

Leaving all of your troubles and worries is as simple as a gentle Port Richey evening breeze at the Crab Shack.

In-spite Of: (Unedited): 31 March 2014:

In-spite of all of your pains and torments. Actively, seek out all that is beautiful. Because, all that is beautiful, is as it is, In-spite of all of your pains and torments. 

C.J.MacKechnie

===========================================

It is very easy for those who have become depressed or have been depressed for some time. To remain in those dark secluded places or to either seek out those dark secluded places. By remaining or or going into those dark secluded places. You merely reinforce those false notions that you are truly alone and that the whole of the world is a very ugly and dangerous place. It is your own false fears which causes you to seek out the dark solitude. 

The truth is, The birds shall sing. The sun shall shine, The moon shall reflect it's beauty within the beautiful heavenly stars. The oceans shall crash along the shores. Children will scream, laugh and run around the playground. Lovers shall hold hands and steal away their kisses. Games will be played on their fields of green. All of this shall happen in-spite of your own perceived self misery, pains, torments, injustice, unfairness. You have to actively free yourself from those forms of bondage. No one is going to free you. Especially, when it is you who have freely decided to remain in bondage.

Become an inspiration of those around you. Over come and over power all that which pains you. Actively achieve everything which is beyond you today. Even if victory always seems to elude you. You will become the inspiration in which many others will find their own victory through their witness of your daily routine. 

Even if all you can do is hold down a job. Then go to it, always be present and on-time.

For it was you who has inspired this write.

Dark beauty: (Unedited): 11 June 2010:

From within the shadows of your own darkness. You will never witness or experience the real beauty that can truly come from you. You can still smile your lonely smile. From that far away dark secluded place. Look and gaze at all that which is beautiful within the light. Know that you will not know such beauty, so as long as you choose to remain hidden within the darkest corner of your souls being. C.J.MacKechnie 

============================================================
Find the positive. Find the light. Then choose. The beautiful spirit that hides within that dark far away corner is still beautiful. Its OK to go out and into the light. It's safe and feel wonderful.

The Lord is your good shepherd. As a good shepherd he shall lead you to those green pastures.  If you are willing and brave enough to come out of your dark and secluded hiding place. Know this the good shepherd knows where you are and respects you enough to leave you be. You do not have to be alone in the dark corner of your soul. Come out into the divine light. Rejoice and dance.
