The story of the Girl

The Girl won the war and changed history the day she fought back…

Halloween

Halloween

Easy to remember
Those days in late October
That scary day,
Costumes and play,
The truth obscured,
That creepy day.

Pumpkins carved with artful care,
Falling leaves everywhere,
Candied apples,
I close my eyes,
Go back in time,
My childish side.

Tomorrow all Saints come back to our plane.
Tonight the veil thinning again & again,
The veil so thin you can almost touch
Those who have gone before
So reach out if you must.

Geometry

geometry
pyramid power…

Sonic Geometry video link


This video arrived in my inbox
With a hundred other promises
Of profound knowledge,
The answer to life, health, liberty,happiness,
Free shipping.

Something lured me to open this one
And watch it.
I am seeing through a different lens now.
Posted this Monday night during the World Series.

Cards lost the game, the Series goes on...

Been thinking about the geometry of baseball since watching sonic geometry.mg

Stick Season....only the beginning

Stick Season goes on seemingly forevermore





 For the first 30 years here I saw the winter to be too colorless without green
Just look up
On a cold clear day
You see what the leaves see.

Sonic Geometry link


As I listen to the World Series,
I recalled this video link that found me.
Transformative, fascinating,
Then relaxing as you tune into the ancient energies.
It takes
Half an hour or so,
It is bound to give you some answers,
Now what were the questions again?

Travelogue for the Universe: Summer reruns


Listening to the World Series on 96.1 fm out of Waterbury, Vermont.
So thought I would post a link to one of my favorite poems

The Drummer





The Drummer,

The beat behind-the-scenes
The pitter patter
The ta ta ta ta ta ta,
You sometimes hear,
When you listen.

Psalm Challenge 127

Psalm Challenge 127

as I work through the weekly challenges,
The Psalm challenges give me a chance to reflect,
Try to understand what the writers were getting at.
The songs filled with pain, sorrow,
Hope, faith
And
Love

I cut and pasted this piece below,
Not quite sure how the links will work.

I like this version...
Meg.

Psalm 127 (Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition)

Psalm 127

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)
127 Blessed are all they that fear the Lord: that walk in his ways.
For thou shalt eat the labours of thy hands: blessed art 

thou, and it shall be well with thee.
Thy wife as a fruitful vine, on the sides of thy house.
Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord.
May the Lord bless thee out of Sion: and mayest thou see the good things of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.


And mayest thou see thy children's children, peace upon Israel.

Red Birds

Red Birds

My hometown was 20 miles from Cardinal Stadium in St. Louis.
My Dad born pretty close to the Stadium. Then were they The Browns?

Mrs. K used to purse her lips and sing song, "Red bird".....when she saw a cardinal.
Mom also adored Cardinal birds which rubbed off on me,
Undoubtedly from the very beginning.

Now the St.Louis Cardinals of baseball are playing Boston Red Sox.
Each team one one game so far.
I am rooting 4 Cards....

A Certain Girl - Elvis Costello's Spectacle



A constellation of some of my favorite men singing about girls...
what could be finer...
Allen, Levon, Richard, Larry, Elvis....whoa

Waiting

Waiting

Never my strong suit,
Impatience, to the nth power.

Who among humans likes to wait?
No one I know.

Mom said to take notes,
Her voice in my head, a welcome friend.

She had to wait for this and that as well,
And never much liked it either.
Is that where I got it?

Usually the waiting looks like nothing,
When looking backward,
At the end of all the waiting.

Crow Morning

Crows generally do not like being captured on film or otherwise.
One morning I captured Pa Crow's image
At the same time, Black Country Communion in the car stereo,
Gearing me up for work.

Soaring

 

DSC03134

Soaring

above it all

Erskine Lague....Do you dare solve this mystery?

Erskine Lague's facebook link....go ahead...


Some strange magnetic field found me in its clutches,
Clawing at my curiosity,
My conspiracy theorist side,
My inner gears that longed for a challenge.

His name I couldn't forget.
Erskine Lague.
I doubted his existence
Even as I revered him
Before even hearing one strum of his.

I knew my journey had only begun,
to learn all I could about this 
transient country music sensation,
Most of his life a mystery,
After which we cannot say
Whether or not
He is history.
