TNT SHOWTIME

catnip/404 (Lynn) and spouse (Hal)

Authorized Open Update Letter to the TNT Family

1.       Lynn and Hal would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued prayers and well wishes as we continue to deal with his medical issues. Your support has meant so much to both of us. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

2.       The GREAT NEWS we have to share with you is that Hal was discharged from ICU early Sunday afternoon around 12:30 pm and was finally settled into his new “regular” room an hour or so later. The first thing Hal asked Lynn to do was to bring him his computer so that he could put down the thoughts he wanted to share with you regarding what he has been through. From this point on, these are the points he wants to share.

3.       Status

3.1.    4 days ICU

3.2.    Current outlook very good but additional healing required

4.       Our personal thank you for your kind and gracious thoughts

4.1.    catnip and I have been married for 34 years. We are normally very private people. This truly for us is a significant departure but we feel deeply compelled to share with the family that has reached out for us.

4.2.    We have very strong ties to Atlanta and East Tennessee but we claim East Tennessee as home of choice for several years. We have claimed the culture and community’s simple and “hard scrabble” approach to life as one would naturally reach for a well-worn pair of slippers that have stood the test of time. We share this insight as a seque to recount the following that we chose to share back to the community to interpret for themselves -  but for us the message is profound and absolutely clear.

5.       Lynn and I have long understood the broader context of what the RV / GCR truly is…an eternal struggle between Good and Evil. The battlefields do not always make discernments regarding this as simple or straight forward.

5.1.    The incident that we bring forward for us is profound, we share it and note it so that the community understands the significance with which we regard it and the honor and privilege with which we share it with the community.

5.2.    There was an instance early in my ICU stay, during which a young Tennessee Medical Technician came in to do a test. Spontaneously, he said, I can complete the test and I can pray for you. We leave to the community the absolute to draw from this whatever meaning or insight is meaningful for themselves; for us however the meaning was clear and unambiguous:

5.2.1.  We all face critical crossroads during which guidance is most valuable. The point being is your story is written, your truth guidance is available.

5.2.2. Through the community of support messenger had been dispatched with our truth guidance message. The role of the messenger is to quiet the noise and to open the veil so that that which has been revealed for you may be heard by you.

5.2.3. For us, we have long realized that on the journey, we are ALL INVITED Guests. With unique stories.

5.2.3.1.              When our time of greatest need arises, the eternal rises up in abundance and the required messenger is dispatched with your truth  for this time:

5.2.3.1.1.                     The background noise is diminished.

5.2.3.1.2.                     You may choose to accept it or you may choose to reject it; you may not ignore it

5.2.4. For us, the pure simplicity translated to a profound realization that our truth was being offered: our response was to accept.

5.2.5. The simple prayer that followed was elegant in its simplicity. It was the guidance for us at this time. He finished and followed with, I would accept this prayer any day willingly, and to us it was clear. For us this was the true messenger dispatched for us at this time of need with our guidance presented for our acceptance or rejection.

5.2.6. For us, at our time of greatest need, the whisper of truth is offered and is wholly and gratefully acknowledged as the gift of advisement from the community from which in the true fullness and abundance of life is made manifest.

5.3.    To this point we would like to especially thank wanting freedom for graciously stepping forward

5.3.1.  Her precious pause has allowed us to share back into the community in a true and authentic way that would have been impossible for us to within the sacred views that we so profoundly hold.

5.4.    As personal give back to the community for the individual and collective good of community as we publicly whisper and publicly claim and freely acknowledge our belief in concepts deriving from the South African social concepts of UBUNTU the deep social community wisdom that serves as the social salve allowing for the organic and natural community wisdom to freely and uniquely evolve so that the messengers may bring forth the needed guidance within the community unimpeded as and when required.

5.5.    To this point we Lynn and Hal publicly share and whisper our affirmations of our most solemn and profound attestation for the free use and benefit in whatever ways the community chooses to use the following for the highest good and befits what these thoughts may bring:

5.5.1. Winds of the Mountain (Hal Trebes, November 12, 1993)

5.5.1.1.              Raging wind, pause and talk with me.

Speak to me of secrets of life and time

   that your ageless wandering has come to know.

The tracks of seekers you have seen and swept away

   may hold no importance for you.

To me however, they may hold the keys to unlock

   the treasures of my journey.

So linger awhile and talk with me,

And share with me, the secrets of your journey.

                      5.5.1.2             Constant breeze, bearer of searchers

                                                   through distance and through time.

                                                Your quiet strength carries them

                                                   to foreign and distant shores.

                                                Only to lead them back again to a place

                                                   somewhat higher on the mountain.

                   5.5.1.3                Gentle breath of seekers,

                                                   guide of inward journeys.

                                                Whisper the call of the eternal,

                                                   to those well along in their journey.

                                                Seekers whose collective sigh in turn gives rise

                                                   to the raging wind and to ageless wanderings yet unknown.

5.6 For us (catnip404 Lynn and spouse Hal), we whisper our public claims not because we doubt them but because we hold them with such profound and reverent beliefs that the truth needs no further amplification nor does it seek for further deliberation. The personal guidance has been offered for each to use in their highest individual and collective community good.

5.7 I, Hal, thank you for your kind indulging regarding my delay. For me however it was absolutely necessary to allow me to speak in my true and authentic voice to the community that had given rise to our needs.

5.8 Lynn and I hereby publicly claim and affirm our sincere intent to creatively contribute back into the community well for the betterment of community.

5.9 So, we Lynn and Hal speak it and so create it in abundance for the good of individuals and community.
