The Season of Lightning & Thunder

Lightning & Thunder...

Bloody exhausted from shuffling tax papers yesterday,
their getting a lot of money already
and all this hassle when I cannot do much else.
Energy suck. I am confident the next generation will abandon
some of this,
or will the idiocy of IRS laws live on and on...?

Wanted to post a link to my posts about Lightning ...
tis the season.

Be careful. I saw a fireball in Illinois once.
People in New England sometimes get complacent.
Today the air actually smelled warm,
that collides with that undulating cold air mass
over the north pole.

We need lightning,
it freshens the air and does things...I do not doubt.

Taxes, Taxes

Taxes

Taxes,

Tis the season indeed.

Sifting through the paper rubble of another year,

Would drive anyone to take some cheer.

Receipts and envelopes,

Second pages left blank,

Dead trees all around me,

Wasting paper, and my time.

It's taxes, why should any of it rhyme?

Privacy notices lie.

They gave up my stuff,

Now I have to tell them what they already know,

And pay taxes

I'm gruff

Psalm Challenge...150...the final

The final Psalm...

Psalm 150

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)

150 Praise ye the Lord in his holy places: praise ye him in the firmament of his power.

2 Praise ye him for his mighty acts: praise ye him according to the multitude of his greatness.

3 Praise him with sound of trumpet: praise him with psaltery and harp.

4 Praise him with timbrel and choir: praise him with strings and organs.

5 Praise him on high sounding cymbals: praise him on cymbals of joy: let every spirit praise the Lord. Alleluia.

My notes: I joined the Psalm Challenge started by a German blogger who lives in Greece.
I read the entries, week after week.
From Israel, Canada, all over.
So midway I started studying each psalm.
Then I added my comments,
correlated,
never knew there were so many versions.
never knew bibles may have copyrights ? huh?
I became the only one after awhile which turned into my journey
the Psalms say so much about life,
Hardships, trials, despair, faith, triumph,
Finding the light
In the dark.

I heard this song yesterday on the radio live from NYC via wifi/dsl
44 years after Dr. Martin Luther King was assassinated,
and Sam Moore was singing his heart out
for a lost friend.
I wanted to see the video
and found it.

All last night and today I was fighting the html
finally able to post this yt link,
I liked when Rosanne Cash said her father read the Psalms.
Psalms, songs, music, lyrics,
harps,
angels,
voices
faith
praise,
hope,
love.

Summer dreaming
On such a dreary day.

Friday Nacht Musik

YT link and 

how shows were "back then..."

Very entertaining.

My favorite singer of all times...Janis Joplin.

at 27 she accomplished so much.

Then she was gone.

If only...

Magical Middlebury

middlebury is a magical place,

full of energies,

River, Commerce, Commodities,

Travel hub for the Western side of Vermont,

home of middlebury college.

i got to work in the town for a few years,

you feel the granite, slate, the bricks, 

you smell the money.

The money smells clean, fresh,

smart people,

successful people,

wealthy people go to school here.

Ski, hockey, the Arts.

So it was shocking to me that the college would be so pro-Canadian gas pipeline.

You know, the one I rant about the land agents threatened elders and poor farmers

to gut/ no, to Gore their property for public good.

anyhow,

because the college is home to so many gifted students...the top of the top,

you know that leads many to a life of illumination,

imagination,

free reign, no brakes, full on satire...

The kind I loved in the 1970's with the Harvard Lampoon.

Those days were over,

or were they?

After our fracking fighting weary copatriots got and email this morning,

WTF was being heard shouted through the valley.

one after another logged on to dial up or satellite or some other way,

and opened this...

by Magical Middlebury College studentia...

Ah, to be young again.

<3 nbsp="">

So,
As I tried to post the
Wtf article
Was it a spoof?
Satire?
Well, adobe didn't make it easy
And Maybe they don't want me posting the best bit of humor
I have read in awhile.
I tried to find a link at their plaid & felt website.
And failed.

So trust me, it's funny.
I feel compelled to at least say something.

Still laughing
Or
Crying,
Later.

Mi'kmaq Women Shut Down Energy Minister Briefing

We sit at our computers,

protesting,

using words & bytes & testimony,

We claim rights to land

the town would just as soon give away

to fossil suckers,

frackers,

sucking the guts from our Mother Earth,

then running pipelines

through our neighbor's yard,

through the aquifer that gives us our drinking water,

the pristine countryside I fell in love with

so many years ago,

was not supposed to become slave to energy brokers,

Canadian (therefore not suspect...most Canadians are good people...)

No, I refer to the energy czars of Canada's monopolistic ownership.

Just had a dose of sunshine...fresh air.

This video I watched last night,

thankful the woman born of thunder

is drumming  to these 

fossil suckers.

Spring Brings

Spring Brings

Sunlight & Shadows

birds migrating northward,

Insects buzzing groggily,

Mary Lou' s Bear

Waking from a winter's nap,

No back to the cave again.

The geese will honk 

The smell of skunk,

The warm soft rain,

Finally welcome again.

The seasons change

This winter a bear,

Never underestimate Vermont winter,

Each one is cold & rare.

I don't care if this doesn't rhyme,

The Sunlight is reward enough,

It's been a long, long time.

Hurry Spring

Hurry Spring

Earthquake

An Earthquake hit,
A big one off the South American coast
I wanted to post this Tsunami warning.

Be safe,
Seel high ground.
Was it triggered by the solar flares?
