Blue Christmas...?

What to do, what to do...?

Be soft. . .

Just a story with no power...

The Birthday of Emily Dickinson...

657 I dwell in Possibility --  by Emily Dickinson

I dwell in Possibility—
A fairer House than Prose—
More numerous of Windows—
Superior—for Doors—

Of Chambers as the Cedars—
Impregnable of Eye—
And for an Everlasting Roof
The Gambrels of the Sky—

Of Visitors—the fairest—
For Occupation—This—
The spreading wide of narrow Hands
To gather Paradise—

505 I would not paint -- a picture - by Emily Dickinson   I would not paint—a picture— I'd rather be the One Its bright impossibility To dwell—delicious—on— And wonder how the fingers feel Whose rare—celestial—stir— Evokes so sweet a Torment— Such sumptuous—Despair— I would not talk, like Comets— I'd rather be the One Raised softly to the Ceilings— And out, and easy on— Through Villages of Ether— Myself endued Balloon By but a lip of Metal— The pier to my Pontoon— Nor would I be a Poet— It's finer—own the Ear— Enamored—impotent—content— The License to revere. A privilege so awful What would the Dower be, Had I the Art to stun myself With Bolts of Melody!

One Prayer Answered....

 

If I could have just one wish granted.
If I could have just one prayer answered.
This would be that wish, this would be that prayer.
Nothing bad must happen to her

Let me take the time to tell her.
Everything that I should tell her.
How I need her more and more, how I'm glad she came along...

Nothing bad must happen to her.
In the cell of the night.
Holding on so tight...

Psalm 34:4...

Dec. 6th...

Today is the feast day of St. Nicholas. The figure of Santa Claus comes from St. Nick, who in turn comes from the real-life St. Nicholas, a fourth-century bishop from Myra, in what is now Turkey. In many parts of the world, today is the day that children get gifts — on the evening of December 5th, they might put out shoes and get small gifts like fruit, coins, or toys.

Remembering Nelson Mandala...

“It always seems impossible until it's done.”

Coffee...oh yeah it's moi!

Dirty words...
