Month: May 2025

Once your home:

Published by Richard Kimball on May 23, 2025

They have itty bitty, tinny weenie, scrappy lives, some leaning female, some male.  Born in captivity, they live for months dreaming of freedom. If released, they are discharged with 10s of millions, all wiggling and straining to find the one home given to the first that gets there.

How can you not have compassion for the littlest losers dying by the millions, lost, starving for love, or just drying up in the bed sheets?

Gotta Love Bees

Published by Richard Kimball on May 19, 2025

The few males in a hive just wander around looking for some queen to stick it too, while the females do all the work. 

If there is trouble, it is the females that have the stinging weapon and launch into battle often giving up their lives, while the bigger males just pretend to be girls to save themselves.

If our hive is to be saved, it will be women that do it!

How this all came to be: 

Published by Richard Kimball on May 16, 2025

“Let’s hire her, she has the biggest t – – s.”

“It doesn’t matter that the Army no longer needs or wants the armory, we must keep it open to support the jobs. Jobs equal votes.”

“What the Hell? He voted to subsidize tobacco growers? How can that be, we all live in Arizona?” 

“Oh that. We needed to support North Carolina tobacco growers, or their congressmen won’t vote to support our ditch from the Colorado River to Phoenix and Tucson to sell more property.”

I was a young Washington staffer, when I heard such things, they had all been my bosses, all prominent Presidential candidates and Democrats. Yes, it isn’t just Republicans that lack the courage to lead.

Political leaders don’t often stay well-grounded citizen servants. Republicans and Democrats become dizzy under the relentless ladling of self-serving partisan slop that fertilizes big heads.

An 18th century Scottish Historian argued that America’s freedom fighters were anchored in courage and if successful, would find liberty and great abundance, but abundance would lead to selfishness, then a complacency that would return them to bondage.

Hard not to see it in real time.

The Second Coming Comes

Published by Richard Kimball on May 8, 2025

I spent 33 years locked in a promise I made Presidents Ford and Carter. I would not involve myself in partisan politics while running the organization we had begun.

Once retired, I still would not involve in political discussions. That isn’t to say I had nothing to say, it is just after those 33 years of struggling to help people deal with the facts, I am no longer interested in what anyone else thinks.

From where I have stood, no one thinks. Like eating a Big Mack to satisfy their hunger, people have become accustomed to tunning into some political preacher who says what satisfies and then mimics them with “lock box” conviction.

When politics becomes the conversation, I have become a joke. “Mention politics,” they say, “if you want to watch Kimball walk out of the room.”

If I am stuck, as the other day, with a devoted Christian, Trump supporter and close friend, who thought him God’s tool to make things wrong, right again, I simply agree.

Yes, Jesus was selfless, thoughtful, kind, forgiving with endless compassion for the suffering, downtrodden and all those without hope. Trump, his doppelganger – very difficult to see much difference.

Nothing is more upsetting than that moment in a dispute when you realize you’ve been wrong!

Published by Richard Kimball on May 7, 2025

Daily, millions of our fellow citizens enter that condition.

As the absurdity of supporting this quasar of toddler self-indulgent nonsense begins to roost in bank accounts, a day of clarity presents itself.

It isn’t that right wing media begins to crack, or even Congressional fanaticos suddenly skulking for self-preservation, it is The People, whose roots lock back in and the human desire for justice and fair play is renourished.

Been There Done That

Published by Richard Kimball on May 6, 2025

I was six when I first worried about death. An older brother mentioned we only live into our 60s. It was simple arithmetic – I had only 9 of my life spans left.

So it began, a lifelong, almost daily uneasiness about the time left.

When I was six, I sensed no pre-me, I had been my forever, and time was…well if it moved at all, was sap slow. A school year lasted forever, and the next Christmas was an eternity away.

This is not to say early life was boring, just the opposite. So, sodden I was after that first breath (whatever that freakish experience must have been) with new, never had or imagined intimacies with this thing or that, each one seeming eons from those had just a few moments ago.

The freshly pealed, raw experiences of life began on some supersonic conveyor belt of WOWs.

But as life progresses the belt offers fewer, fresh WOWs and increasing chains of “been there, done that,” repetitions.

As I age, the belt’s “been there, done that,” offerings increase, fatigue sets in and the belt of time speeds up as if to find anything new.

Days become weeks, then months and suddenly another year flashes by.

When as old as me, that first wonderous breath you took so very long ago has been repeated 650 million times and you are good to go.
