early on a Sunday...........

*I wrote this last Sunday at another site, I thought I'd post it here as well.*

Good morning ladies and gentlemen, I hope all is well with you. Winter is upon us once again. I suppose I should take my one remaining Yucca plant outside, back indoors with the rest. For a plant of warmer climate, it can sure take a beating. If interested in this beneficial plant, here are a couple of sites to check.......

I'll be cleaning and rearranging a little more today, trying to make this little place more livable. I miss the house I once had. I miss being on top of the world, although, at the time I didn't realize that I was. Maybe that's a note for another time. But I'll say this, looking back, present and to the future, pleasant or not, good decisions and bad,....it all fits together. Like an interdimensional puzzle, which isn't just one puzzle but an infinite. And each puzzle is another piece to and even greater puzzle. Which in the 'end', never ends buts transforms. Reusing the same or similar pieces that are altered, with time, and not with time. Every piece is delicate, and changes to 'fit', which then alters the pieces ahead of it. Or does it? How would you know? Maybe Deja Vu isn't just a coincidence, or a similar memory in the brain altered to fit the moment making you think you've been in the moment before (deja vu happens in cycles for me, there's a period of time with nothing, then a period of time with frequent 'memories'). Maybe it tells you that you've been in/'put together' this 'puzzle' before. In a puzzle that gets put back together over and over again, slightly altered, in a 'time frame' (or dimensional existence, for lack of a better term.) that you cannot possibly comprehend. No, actually think of it this way maybe, you have a giant block of whatever, and you are moving it 'forward' by rolling it on logs. Therefore, of course, you take the last log rolled over and put it at the front (this being a weak metaphor for 'the puzzle', but hopefully you can see what I'm saying. Taking the pieces from the 'past' and 'fitting' them into the 'future' over the incomprehensible time, which isn't linear). If you can't tell, I'm in favour of the 'big bang' theory. Maybe it all does happen for a reason, and I've learned that 'universal' Karma is quite a powerful, subtle force. But there is ......

wow, this note went in a completely different direction I had originally intended. I think I'll stop now, unfortunately, this isn't even the tip of the iceberg of what's in the bone box (my head). I tend to think too much sometimes, or maybe I am crazy, or maybe I need another coffee. Or more sleep..........

Thanks for dropping in, carry on ladies and gentlemen, and be careful out there.

It's snowing outside.

Flanders Fields

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders Fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders Fields.

To my readers, past and present.........

I know some times I can be a little harsh and blunt, for this I don't apologies. However I do apologise to those whom I may have upset. My greatest pet peeve is ignorance. If I see something that isn't quite right, I'm one to let you know. I've always had a sense to protect/stand for children, animals and the innocent. And I've been told that sometimes I tend to lecture, that's when I have something to say that is. Usually I'm quiet, listening. My views aren't always accepted, since I'm not a huge fan of humanity, from what I've seen. There is good out there, but ignorance outweighs it by far. I feel that if I help at least one person, or what have you, I've done what I'm meant to do. If not, at least I can say I've tried, one way or another. And if I'm hated for it, c'est la vie. I used to volunteer every month as an art instructor for 'Arts & Soul', a group for people dealing with mental disabilities/issues, which I really should get back into. Currently I have a part time gig with the Federation for Cerebral Palsy. I know there are rude/self absorbed people out there, but I was shocked at how many there really are. I'm also currently figuring out how the sales of any of my work could benefit a cause, which cause I'm not sure yet, or how many.

So, if I've upset you with my berating ways towards ignorance and the selfish uncaring of society, I apologise. However, I will not stop. Maybe just not say as much.

Be careful out there ladies and gentlemen.

Change in the air?

Now that the U.S. has made the historic vote for change, what will come of it? After listening to the man's speech I must say I am impressed. However, be he black, white, green or plaid, he is still undoubtedly a politician. No matter whom he may be, a president does not make all of his decisions on his own. Will there be change? If so, will it be for the better? We all hope so. It seems Canadians had more interest in the U.S. presidential election than our own, having a pathetic turn out not that long ago. Most likely due to the fact that Canada has yet to have a powerful, inspirational leader, from any party. Nor is there likely to ever be one. And why is that? Because we are the Igor to the American Dracula. The YES man. No matter that we are the largest country in the world (or second largest), and have the ability to be self reliant with our many resources. We still kiss the U.S. ass. And why is that? I'd say it's from many years of leadership with barely a ball in the sack. Canada always follows, and never leads. Most things that are "American", are actually Canadian. America is like the bully that steals things from you and makes it his own, and justifies it. America lies to it's people with false stories of historical pride, with fake glory and glitter. America kicks it's own people in the ass, yet like puppies they still follow. Although, doesn't every country do that really? But now, there seems to be a possibility for change. Unfortunately, anyone trying to drastically change things for the better, usually gets themselves killed. Let's hope that history doesn't repeat itself yet again. Well my friends, hopefully one day we will have the opportunity to vote for such a leader for our country, and be proud to stand for our President. Excuse me, I mean Prime Minister.

carry on ladies and gentlemen, carry on.

Be careful out there.
