Town Meeting Missed but not lost
As posted last night,
The proposed pipeline was voted down in 3 towns
On the Canadian planned route.
I was sorry I couldn't attend town meeting this year.
Finding myself feeling too sick to even go out and vote
For the first time ever.
Reminding me that we are still not adapted to the modern life,
Accommodating people where they are.
So tickled I was, to find out
Voters in 3 town said
No to the Pipeline!
Good news

Audition
Audition
This was the drawing I was trying to post yesterday with "153".
It is a tough spot, up on stage in an empty theater,
Surrounded by intense people,
Staring at you....

153
We rarely hear the inward music, but we're all dancing to it nevertheless. - Rumi

153
In Junior high school <>
and somewhat beyond,
2 years better put into a state of suspended animation or amnesic void,
I tried out for chorus,
excited at this new huge school,
full of enthusiasm,
ready to become the next Julie Andrews, Barbra Streisand,
Carole King,
Peter, Paul & Mary,
Janis Joplin,
Mostly anyone but me.
Mom and Dad had a stack of records, as did my siblings,
It was the 60's.
We screamed music all summer to the stereo,
anywhere.
There were 153 people trying out.
Funny I still remember that number,
like it is seared somewhere in my brain...
They could take 150.
Really.
150,
another number seared.
As I approached looking at the last Psalm,
150,
the number yanked me like a painful string.
ouch.
When the names went up for who got in,
could you imagine how long were the faces of the 3 who failed?
Wonder if the other 2 girls ever forgot.
The next year, I tried out again.
Admittedly I had no training, no concept of keys, tuning.
I played tuba in the Bass clef,
repetitive,
which confused me too.
Our grade school autoharp was out of tune.
But I tried.
The music teacher had me sing a song.
She then stopped, looked up and said,
"Where were you last year?"...
That is where I am pretty sure my head spun straight around,
I did a princess turn,
and walked right out the door,
never to return.
Years later, an ember still burns for her,
that misguided teacher.
How could you have even heard 3 people?
Give them a tambourine...
a flag,
a chance.
So when Sister Rosetta Tharpe sings to
"Sing, because you are so happy,
Sing because you are so free, yes indeed...",
I think,
Freedom has its price.
And yet that doesn't keep me from singing.
We are free.

Psalm Challenge 145
Psalm Challenge 145
5 more weeks to go,
Each psalm a lesson in suffering, courage, hope, redemption.
For me, a discovery of songs, styles,
The turning Earth,
Always changing,
Always staying the same.
The astronauts up in the space station
Tweet down profoundly beautiful views
From up yonder,
In the blink of an eye,
That image travels around the world,
Inspiring beauty.
Psalm 145
1 Alleluia, of Aggeus and Zacharias.

Psalm 145
1 Alleluia, of Aggeus and Zacharias.
2 Praise the Lord, O my soul, in my life I will praise the Lord: I will sing to my God as long as I shall be. Put not your trust in princes:
3 In the children of men, in whom there is no salvation.
4 His spirit shall go forth, and he shall return into his earth: in that day all their thoughts shall perish.
5 Blessed is he who hath the God of Jacob for his helper, whose hope is in the Lord his God:
6 Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all things that are in them.
7 Who keepeth truth for ever: who executeth judgment for them that suffer wrong: who giveth food to the hungry. The Lord looseth them that are fettered:
8 The Lord enlighteneth the blind. The Lord lifteth up them that are cast down: the Lord loveth the just.
9 The Lord keepeth the strangers, he will support the fatherless and the widow: and the ways of sinners he will destroy.
10 The Lord shall reign for ever: thy God, O Sion, unto generation and generation.
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)by Public Domain
Interview with a Clone, The Journey Home
This came to me as I pondered all the scenarios,
many had the Hollywood taint,
happily ever after or everything blows up at the end and
goes up in Pyrotechnics.
No instead, a mystical twist of fate.
The good commander,
as the rescue wagon is orbiting,
finally here,
she would be able to breathe easy again.
Just at that moment she parked the Mars rover and put up the flag,
That is when she saw….
Atlantis…
What did it mean?
All this time,
stranded here,
now urgently leaving,
forever.
Atlantis…
