b.day parties...

my brilliant Vancouver visitors!

How mother nature takes care of us...

May the Sun

bring you new energy by day,

May the Moon

softly restore you by night,

May the Rain

wash away your worries,

May the Breeze

blow new strength into your being,

And my you walk gently through the world and know its beauty all the days of your life.

Thanx Rochelle. I love this.

mhm...feel it...

Hallelujah

...and the week begins...

Another lazy morning...a cup of strong black coffee, in bed, catching up with the world on the web...i look forward to these mornings!

And a new tune i totally love! Maybe not new to anyone else, but new to this little music hermit! :)

Wave'n Flag

This week in the city.

Touched base with old fav's.  Checked out new spaces.  Added to the list of 'next times'.

Touched hears with my fav.  Chatted with new faces.  Made plans for next time.

Ran on old paths.  Wandered on new routs.  Maybe i'll swim next time.

Love the old truths.  Consider new thoughts.  Don't depend on 'next time'.

ponderings...

He sits there hungry, cold, sick.  No money to buy food, no home to be warmed in, no one to care that he is slowly dying.  Yet he creates the sweetest music i have ever heard. Where does the music come from???

breathing easier now

I love the exhilarating exhaustion that comes after spending 3 full days outside.

1. Gollum

What has roots as nobody sees,

Is taller than trees,

Up, up it goes,

And yet never grows?

2. Bilbo

Thirty white horses on a red hill,

First they champ,

Then they stamp,

Then they stand still.

3. Gollum

Vioceless it cries,

Wingless flutters,

Toothless bites,

Mouthless mutters.

3. Bilbo

An eye in a blue face,

Saw an eye in a green face.

"That eye is like to this eye"

Said the first eye,

"But in low place

Not in high place."

4. Gollum

It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,

Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.

It lies behind stars and under hills,

And empty holes it fills.

It comes first and follows after,

Ends life, kills laughter.

5. Bilbo

A box withouth hinges, key, or lid,

Yet golden treasure inside is hid.

6. Gollum

Alive without breath,

As cold as death;

Never thirsty, ever drinking,

All in mail never clinking.

7. Gollum

This thing all things devours:

Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;

Gnaws iron, bites steel;

Grinds hard stones to meal;

Slays king, ruins town,

And beats high mountain down.
