Fun word, but, comprende', my take...
There's a saying, "Squirrels gathering nuts in a flurry will cause snow to gather in a hurry.
Small town. OK, usedta be. Anyways, Fall Festival - that time'a year - Harvest/gather, the aforementioned squirrels/gather... and peeps - from all around. All kindsa sizes, rugrats a walkin', hand holdin', teenies beboppin, young couples ogling, old farts a wobblin'.. TBC...
They gather in sedans, vans, SUV's, bikes, trikes, and one parking lot is reserved for the '55 Chevy Bel Air's, '77 Pontiac Firebirds, and Mustangs, Sally, all kindsa years, and yet another lot is setup for us old farts, complete with golf carts driven by kind young dudes, dudettes a hollerin', "Hop on Pops!".
The eyeballs gather it all in. We look out, we see us, then... now... and tomorrow.
Move on Victor, we tire of pumpkin spice.
My take, wise ones tippy toe thru life. When gathered, we listen with our ears, look with our eyes... and try our damndest not to hurt with blurt. Our thoughts are brought to our brains based on hints, inferences - thus, we're gathered in our speech.
I gather, we all fail. Even the Baltimore Orioles. Sorry. Not really.
Gathered - to clasp or embrace. To bring close and wrap around, such as gathering a child into one's arms.
Speed. Speed causes gather. To increase.. Seen 'em in Colorado, they gots them runoff ramps for semi's. The young running back gathered sufficient speed - but, he had an insufficient hold on the football... I gather he fumbled due to that.
Folks gather money. It's kinda foreign to me, but, they do. MANY, do much good with their gatherings. Many, attempt to take it with em, thus, Probate sorts it all out.
Gather - to pick or harvest. Tail end. Tail end of that-kinda-weather here. Reap. The smalltown downtown weekly gatherings of vendors, farmers, yada - coming to a close. Another trip around the sun. We lucky ones anyways.
"I don't wanna be old" you hear. Most, kinda like gatherin' all them years. "I don't wanna be 90." Heard someone say "Ask 'em about that when they're 89 years, 11 months, 30 days and see what their answer is."
I gather life is all about gathering.
Dearly beloved, we are gathered here.
For, a short time.
For, a fun time.
For, a smile.
A kiss.
A hug (ie, gathered).
Sometimes....... we are thrown curveballs in life. We are let down. We say/think "How can you say that" when they say that. Or, maybe, we even ask ourselve, "How could, or WHY, did I say that?" We are human, gathered here.
Eat a funnel cake. Buy 6 ears of corn whilst ya still can. Learn from the squirrels (there are nuts out there all around.) Gather with friends. Watch a ballgame together. Victor, is this where you remind us the ROYALS gathered enough runs to beat the Orioles so they can now go play the Yankees on Saturday at 5:38pm? Mebbe. I gather there might be an eyeball or six here that will enjoy that.
I do, seriously, try my best to hopefully bring a smile, attempt uplift. This blog probably fell short of that. Sorry. Kinda. Mostly. Am.
Victurd, we gathered that. Happy day.
Hey, you too!
Gather. To gather oneself up: to make oneself feel calm again or ready to do something.
Ooooh waaaah weee... I gotta pee...... it's gathered in my bladder.
Oh happy day.......
Love, Victurd
Victor, you're nuts. I know. Don't tell the squirrels. They'll chase me.
