Notes To Orion

Enough?

 

In any moment

Life lives in fullness.

There is no lack of Life

anywhere,

at no time,

all the time.

 

If  You had a Heart

it would be constantly swollen

with Love,

with Ecstatic Love,

an eternal orgasm

of Joy and Pleasure,

of Satisfaction

and Contentment.

 

And you laugh ----

 

Life continues on

and on

til when?

for why?

Is not one instant…

enough?

 

One nanosecond

in your presence

is an eternity of bliss.

 

THAT, is enough.

 

Mahalo

One Life

 

Before my eyes

looked upon this Gaia,

before the cold air

pricked my skin,

before I was evicted

from mother’s safe place…

 

the angel kissed my brow

and locked my memories away

behind a firewall,

that diaphanous veil

we are not privy to peer thru

while traveling this unique journey,

lest we look upon Truth

and understand

and warn the others

to mind their actions

and even their thoughts

and especially their words.

 

I walk and talk

I create and destroy

I sin and praise

I laugh and cry

and am joyfully awed all too often.

I lust and bless…

 

and dream…

 

until that angel

shall kiss my brow once again

and I am called Home

with another cache of memories,

another suitcase to stow away,

grateful for all.

 

And then to be called

once again to another life,

 --- if I so choose ---

to another mission,

another dream,

another kiss…

 

I will to remember.

Happy Birthday!

The sun rises,
a new day dawns
and I’ve reached another digit,
another trip around the star.
Less the responsibilities given,
more the dreams of possibilities
of far-off lands
beyond my ken,
beyond the range
of the 5 senses allowed
in this kingdom.

So I continue to eat, to clean,
to create a home,
to care for companions
who remind me of you,
in whom you are,
surrounding me with you,
telling me stories
I will never live
but which quench
my lust for Life
and will live in memory
no matter how real.

I am you.

You give me all I need
and all I need is you.
So, thank you.

Thank you...
for everything.  \**/

Not sorry.

 Oh yes - a weary world for most everyone. Conversation in Walmart - 2 women saying how their husbands don't believe the pandemic is real - it will disappear - why the masks? I interrupted - Better to be safe than sorry. I did want to say - Your husbands are selfish, stupid and uneducated and have no idea what's going on the world. Hope they, or you don't get it. Talk to families who HAVE kin who succumbed to the Covid 19 -- you might be better informed than listening to your husbands. Learn for yourself!."

O, Lord, when?  Well - King Cheeto and wife tested positive - I will not comment -- no need. I'm dealing with fleas - go to hell.

And so Life goes on - yes, perhaps this virus will run its course, but at what expense? I really do believe it is meant to cull the human population - but it's not very efficient,. Now - the Black Plague - THAT was efficient - did a great job of culling the population. The Great Floods - not too shabby. But the best was the dinosaur extinction period - wow!  Entire species wiped out - to make way for a new generation of beasties - us. 

Too cavalier? Maybe too honest - once you add morality into the mix, everything gets muddy. God has no morality - obviously - it's a human invention attributed to God. But of course, we are God, so ....... yeah, it is from her. 

I Saw Heaven Today

 

I Saw Heaven Today

First of Fall

 

First of Fall,

chilled air,

frozen windshield

to scrape

to see

to go

to gather the kits

to fuel their furnaces

to warm their hearts

to remind them

they are not forgotten…

 

and to hope a home

will welcome them soon.

I am not a Democrat

 

I am not a Democrat. I am not a Republican. I am not an Independent. I am not a Socialist. I am a natural-born citizen of the United States of America. I am an American.. And I am watching the demise of Democracy in this, our wonderful  U.S.A.  Democracy means that ALL the people have a say in the governing of the country – but we have become dichotomized – two camps (+) – Two camps vying for power and control. But all of you in Congress- you are in your position to work for and organize the wonders of this country for ALL us citizens  – not just for your “base.” That is base In itself – a rebounding to times of war as a way of life. We are better than that. We no longer should separate our leadership into “camps”, nor should the people be forced to “take sides”. We are ONE people, ONE Congress, with differences, yes, and that’s fine. Work’em out. But let’s stop this incendiary road to the destruction of a great society. ALL LIVES MATTER! We are ONE country, ONE society made up of many cultures – respect the cultures, respect your brothers and sisters – celebrate the differences.

We are in for greater challenges that need the cooperation of all the citizens for this society to survive. Be thankful for the freedoms you have, and work together for the good of all. Your possessions are not important – your family and community are more important. We often see how the good in us reach out to help those in need – let’s not forget that good – and continue to have compassion for our brothers and sisters, no matter who they are, what race they, what means they have.

Cinco de Mayo

Uno for the one I love

Dos for eggs on toast

Tres for my Beloved’s embrace

Cuatro ain’t so macho

but Cinco in the maio

is a margarita to-die-foh!

The Blessing

I sought Wisdom

thinly disguised

in Life.

Looking,

I did not see,

Listening,

I did not hear,

‘til Love did guide

my eyes to see

and my ears to hear

in every voiced refrain…

May the Fourth

be with you….

ah-ah (Thermian humor)

MayDays

The opening of May

clears the skae

and summer,

yes, SUMMER

fwumps upon us

without warning!

Hot midday sun

takes all the fun

out of gardening

the piddly plots

of perennial plants

vying for light,

nutrients,

and energy

to grow and mature

no matter the cost.

One done today …

the other …

whenever.

Light In The Rain

SoundCloud recording - Light In The Rain

Down the quiet road

upon the wetted carpet

of a million maplecopters

my shoes are rinsed

and upon my nylon roof

drumming, drumming

from the sky’s shedding, shedding

tears of release

as I stroll and breathe

the misted air.

And upon my ear

does fall the songs

of my neighbors,

jays

wrens

chickadees

peckers

doves

cards

chitter-chattering

filling the air

between the raindrops

with song,

with news,

with the aliveness

of the new day.

Gray is the sky,

but my heart

beams with a sparkling Light.
