Tragedy in Connecticut...

 More innocent victims...

I'll never understand why some people behave worse than some animals do... 

a lot of animals protect their own kin... 

 and we??? 

The worst of all are all those innocent lives lost today...

and all those who are left behind... grieving!!!

It's so unfair...

Prayers and love for everyone affected by this tragedy... 

and anyone suffering loss of any sort anywhere!

It Can't Rain All The Time

by Jane Siberry

We walked the narrow path,
beneath the smoking skies.
Sometimes you can barely tell the difference
between darkness and light.
Do you have faith
in what we believe?
The truest test is when we cannot,
when we cannot see.

I hear pounding feet in the,
in the streets below, and the,
and the women crying and the,
and the children know that there,
that there's something wrong,
and it's hard to belive that love will prevail.

Oh, when I'm lonely,
I lie awake at night
and I wish you were here.
I miss you.
Can you tell me
is there something more to belive in?
Or is this all there is?

Last night I had a dream.
You came into my room,
you took me into your arms.
Whispering and kissing me,
and telling me to still belive.
But then the emptiness of a burning sea against which we see
our darkest of sadness.

Until I felt safe and warm.
I fell asleep in your arms.
When I awoke I cried again for you were gone.
Oh, can you hear me?

It won't rain all the time
The sky won't fall forever.
And though the night seems long,
your tears won't fall, your tears won't fall,
your tears won't fall
forever.

Depression

You've been so long
Looking at the shadows
That you'll end up becoming
another one of them...

The sadness on your face
Someday will vanish,
But time is gold
And all that's good in your life will fade away...

You are wrapped up in a bubble
Of tragedy and doom,
And you'll remain stuck
Between fury, confusion and anxiety...

Happiness will remain hidden
As long as you're depressed
And when you try to reach it
You'll Find everything so dull!

Black

Black, black, black
So is the atmosphere...
Dark and deadly,
Deceitful as an oasis in the desert ...
Invincible Spirit of time.

Black, black, black
So is the feeling...
Tragic and deep,
Eternal as the infinite universe ...
Terrible phantom of torment.

Black, black, black
So is the way...
Mysterious and unreal,
False as the clouds in the sky ...
Sinner demon from hell.

Black, black, black
So is suicide ...
Seductive and lethal
Traitor as rain in winter ...
Invisible Sylph of the Wind.

Those Eyes

One night... one more night...

Some Eyes... Just some eyes... 

The band playing, 

The people dancing... 

And those eyes... those eyes distracted you... 

The night consumed away... 

No more alcohol, 

No more nicotine... 

But those eyes... those eyes followed you... 

A day... just another day... 

The light turned into darkness... 

People praying, 

People laughing... 

And those eyes... those eyes hypnotized you... 

The darkness became torment... 

No more songs, 

No more temptations... 

But those eyes... those eyes enslaved you...

Caledonia

by Dougie MacLean

I don't know if you can see
The changes that have come over me
In these last few days I've been afraid
That I might drift away
I've been telling old stories, singing songs
That make me think about where I've come from
That's the reason why I seem
So far away today

Let me tell you that I love you
That I think about you all the time
Caledonia, you're calling me, now I'm going home
But if I should become a stranger
Know that it would make me more than sad
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had

Now I have moved and I've kept on moving
Proved the points that I needed proving
Lost the friends that I needed losing
Found others on the way
I have kissed the fellas and left them crying
Stolen dreams, yes, there's no denying
I have traveled hard, sometimes with conscience flying
Somewhere with the wind

Now I'm sitting here before the fire
The empty room, the forest choir
The flames have cooled, don't get any higher
They've withered, now they've gone
But I'm steady thinking, my way is clear
And I know what I will do tomorrow
When hands have shaken, the kisses float
Then I will disappear

Caledonia's been everything I've ever had

Happy Sain't Andrews Day!

John McDermott version lyrics:

Let Italy boast of her gay gilded waters, Her vines and her bowers and her soft sunny skies, Her sons drinking love from the eyes of her daughters, Where freedom expires amid softness and sighs.

Scotland's blue mountains wild where hoary cliffs are piled,Towering in grandeur are dearer tae me,Land of the misty cloud land of the tempest loud,Land of the brave and proud land of the free.

Enthroned on the peak of her own highland mountains,The spirit of Scotia reigns fearless and free,Her green tartan waving o'er blue rock and fountain,And proudly she sings looking over the sea.

Here among my mountains wild I have serenely smiled, When armies and empires against me were hurled, Firm as my native rock I have withstood the shock, Of England, of Denmark, of Rome and the world.

But see how proudly her war steeds are prancing, Deep groves of steel trodden down in their path, The eyes of my sons like their bright swords are glancing, Triumphantly riding through ruin and death.

Bold hearts and nodding plumes wave o'er their bloody tombs, Deep-dyed in gore is the green tartan's wave, Shivering are the ranks of steel dire is the horseman's wheel, Victorious in battlefield Scotland the brave.

Bold hearts and nodding plumes wave o'er their bloody tombs, Deep-dyed in gore is the green tartan's wave, Shivering are the ranks of steel dire is the horseman's wheel, Victorious in battlefield Scotland the brave.

Labios Rotos (Broken Lips) by ZOE

Regalame tu corazón y dejame entrar
a ese lugar,  donde nacen las flores
donde nace el amor.

entregame tus labios rotos lo quiero besar,
los quiero curar, los voy a cuidar
con todo mi amor...
es raro el amor aaah es raro el amor aaah
que se te aparece cuando menos piensas.
es raro el amor aaah es raro el amor aaah
no importa la distancia, ni el tiempo ni la edad!

Moja el desierto de mi alma con tu mirar,
con tu tierna voz, con tu mano en mi mano
por la eternidad...

Y entregame esos labios rotos lo quiero besar,
los quiero curar, los voy a cuidar
con todo mi amor...

es raro el amor aaah es raro el amor aaah
que se te aparece cuando menos piensas. 

-----------------------------------------------------------

Give me your heart and let me in
to that place , where the flowers are born
where love is born.

Give me your broken lips I wanna kiss them,
I want to heal them, I will care for them
with all my love ...

love is rare aaah aaah love is rare
which appears when you least think.
love is rare aaah aaah love is rare
no matter the distance, the time or age!

Soak the desert of my soul with your look,
with your tender voice, with your hand in my hand
for eternity ...

And give me those broken lips i want to kiss them,
I want to heal them, I will care for them
with all my love ...

love is rare aaah aaah love is rare
which appears when you least think.

The image in the rareview mirror

What will become of me?
- you asked
...You'll be like an image
that fades away in the rareview mirror.
The image of  love
that once was mine alone.
...but in the end... an image
fading in the rareview mirror.

Caught in the Sun

by Course of Nature

You're my distance, destination of choice
I'd give anything just to hear your voice
I could have passed you on the street
Without saying a word
Most times, I miss the voice that goes unheard

What if I missed you
You got caught in the sun
What if I did something never to be enough

People everywhere how could I be sure
If it's you that I have been looking for
What would it take for me to be comfortable
With you, with me you're the chosen one

You are there for me
This I hope and pray
Will you wait for me
Or will I be too late this time

Happy Bonfire Night

Not a man, but a wolf...

 

"He went on two legs, wore clothes and was a human being, 

but nevertheless he was in reality a wolf of the Steppes. 

He had learned a good deal . . . and was a fairly clever fellow. 

What he had not learned, however, was this: 

to find contentment in himself and his own life. 

The cause of this apparently was that 

at the bottom of his heart 

he knew all the time (or thought he knew) 

that he was in reality not a man, 

but a wolf of the Steppes."

 -Herman Hesse (Steppenwolf)

~Author Unknown

Wishes of a Living Dead

Death haunts these parts,
remains watching me with sadness;
a single idea
has got into her head:
that'll be her fiancée...

Every night she strolls outside my house,
greets me with a dismal smile
and a great hope: 
that'll watch over her
while she cheerfully works...

Hours go by becoming eternal,
she waits for me at the corner
but I can't follow her,
I can not with this agony,
I can not against this conquest...

Maybe I should go after her,
learn every night to love her;
that way I wouldn't be so lonely
and I could dance 'till the end
in a beautiful and silent garden of memories...
a cemetery!

Happy National Coming Out Day

Happy World Mental Health Day!

Crazy is Just a Point of View!

HAPPY WORLD ANIMAL DAY!

Celebrate in the Spirit of St.Francis

Hear our humble prayer, O God, 

for our friends the animals, 

especially for animals who are suffering; 

for animals that are overworked, 

underfed and cruelly treated; 

for all wistful creatures in captivity that beat their wings against bars; 

for any that are hunted or lost or deserted or frightened or hungry; 

for all that must be put death. 

We entreat for them all Thy mercy and pity, 

and for those who deal with them 

we ask a heart of compassion and gentle hands and kindly words. 

Make us, ourselves, to be true friends to animals,

 and so to share the blessings of the merciful. 

By Albert Schweitzer

Positively 4th Street

by Bob Dylan



You got a lotta nerve to say you are my friend 
When I was down, you just stood there grinning
You got a lotta nerve to say you gotta helping hand to lend
You just want to be on the side that's winning 

You say I let you down, you know it's not like that 
If you're so hurt why then don't you show it? 
You say you lost your faith but that's not where it's at 
You have no faith to lose and you know it 

I know the reason that you talk behind my back 
I used to be among the crowd you're in with 
Do you take me for such a fool to think I'd make contact 
With the one who tries to hide what he don't know to begin with?

You see me on the street, you always act surprised
You say, "How are you? Good luck," but you don't mean it 
When you know as well as me you'd rather see me paralyzed 
Why don't you just come out once and scream it? 

No, I do not feel that good when I see the heartbreaks you embrace
If I was a master thief perhaps I'd rob them
And now I know you're dissatisfied with your position and your place 
Don't you understand, it's not my problem 

I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes 
And just for that one moment, I could be you 
Yes, I wish that for just one time, you could stand inside my shoes
You'd know what a drag it is to see you.

Autumn is Finally Here!

"Equal hours of light and darkness we celebrate the balance of Mabon, 

and ask the gods to bless us. 

For all that is bad, there is good. 

For that which is despair, there is hope. 

For the moments of pain, there are moments of love. 

For all that falls, there is the chance to rise again. 

May we find balance in our lives as we find it in our hearts."

Happy International Day of Peace

(H.B. Adams)

Wishing you The very Best...

"I find myself wondering...
Did I give you your due..
For all that you've done for me
Did I ever thank you?

For all of my childhood memories
For helping me deal with life's stresses
For helping me accept my defeats
And celebrate my successes?

Or for teaching me the value of hard work,
Good judgement, courage, and being true
The laughter, smiles, and quiet times we've shared
Did I ever thank you?

If I have forgotten, I'm thanking you now
You taught me right from wrong....
I hope you know how much you're loved and appreciated
I hope you, instinctively, knew it all along."

Happy Birthday Dad

Happy

Nurse Day

Nursing care comes in many forms.  Sometimes it is the ability to make someone feel physically comfortable by various means.  Other times it is the ability to improve the body's ability to achieve or maintain health.  But often it is an uncanny yet well honed knack to see beyond the obvious and address, in some way, the deeper needs of the human soul.  

~Donna Wilk Cardillo, A Daybook for Beginning Nurses

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

A baby asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?"
"Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you."
The child further inquired, "But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy."
"Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy."
Again the child asked, "And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don't know the language?"
God said, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak."
"And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"
God said, "Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray."
"Who will protect me?"
God said, "Your angel will defend you even if it means risking it's life."
"But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore."
God said, "Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you."
At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, "God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel's name."

"You will simply call her, 'Mom.'

Death is Nothing At All

Death is nothing at all.
I have only slipped away to the next room.
I am I and you are you.
Whatever we were to each other,
That, we still are.

Call me by my old familiar name.
Speak to me in the easy way
which you always used.
Put no difference into your tone.
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.

Laugh as we always laughed
at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me. Pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word
that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effect.
Without the trace of a shadow on it.

Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same that it ever was.
There is absolute unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind
because I am out of sight?

I am but waiting for you.
For an interval.
Somewhere. Very near.
Just around the corner.

All is well.

Funeral Death Poem by Henry Scott Holland ~ 1847-1918

Death is nothing else but ...

...going home to God, 

the bond of love will be unbroken for all eternity.
