Today I swam in the lake.  Goliath did not swim in the lake, he drank it, and later, frolicked in the river.

Blessings On This Thanksgiving

Image
Thanksgiving.  The long journey across the ocean.  Retching.  Sickness.  Escape from the tyranny.  It's why I am here on this continent.  Thank you.  There was a feast too with the natives.  Just like we learned about in grade school.  The Pilgrims and the Native Americans eating together.  History has taken many wild turns since Europeans first sailed across the ocean to America.  We can remember when we arrived that we had help from those that were already here.  They fed us and helped us to survive in the New World.  We can return to the days when we accepted each other’s comforts and help.  Those who were with the land and those that came to a new land.  Those that were here and those that eventually had other ideas like expansion.  Those differences, those objectives that were not the same, could not be mended at the time.  So different in world view, and those that wanted to claim did so ...

Candle light, water dripping beyond the window, fridge humming, candle light burning illuminating this keyboard.  About ten years ago when my grandmother bought this computer for me I was in Best Buy deciding on which one to buy.  I found a neat one where the keys lit up, they were illuminated from underneath.  I loved that feature but opted not to buy it.  Here I am now typing away.  I remember thinking back then that if I got this computer then I would write.  Finally I am.  The writing started way back when, more than ten years ago when I got this computer.  It started when I was just a wee lad writing poetry and stories.  I heard a women speak today at the Glenwood neighborhood monthly gathering.  She is a politician, or wants to be one, or a label that I am giving her because she is running for office.  She spoke of, I cannot fully remember what she spoke of.  Maybe it is not that important or wasn't that memorable....

TP Finds You When You Need It

Image
Hello friends.  I am surrounded by books, pictures, crystals, machine washing, cat, fresh air (as far as I know- the window is open and the birds chirp), all the good things.  Some of you may be with your families, or your loved one (who may be driving you crazy), or whatever the case may be- I hope you are well. I am well.  It feels good to get out and drive for a bit and then thinking of that frozen Snickers, pass it up and go to the food store you haven't been to in a while and find tp, ice cream, pizza, and several other assorted goodies.  I have not yet run out of tp, thank the Maker. You may find yourself watching movies lately.  Myself, I've been watching a Star Trek series called Deep Space Nine .  I am very glad for it.  There are like 7 seasons with at least twenty episodes, about 40 to 45 minutes a piece.  That's enough for a while.  I usually watch an episode a day, sometimes two when I am really chillaxin. Sometimes you can...
