Mr. Raymond Chandler. He was speaking of his wife: "... For thirty years, ten months, and four days, she was the light of my life, my whole ambition. Anything else I did was just the fire for her to warm her hands at."

Nostalgic

 from home... and remembering; Dad's service photo and Ma's wedding rings

for Moody Monday

On With the Show

The system was oppressive
But she would not give up
She would not give in
She kept dancing
To the drumbeat in her head
To the salsa, to the rumba
Spinning in red
Laughing in lavender
She kept her arms open
To possibility
And chance
Drawing others
Into the dance

Goosewing Beach Mist

The mist in the morning
Was too cold to breathe in.
So I breathed out
And I made the mist my own.

' Wild Geese'~Mary Oliver

You do not have to be good,

you do not have to walk on your knees

for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.

You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.

Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.

Meanwhile the world goes on.

Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain

are moving across the landscapes,

over the prairies and the deep trees,

the mountains and the rivers.

Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air

are heading home again.

These Days~Charles Olson

whatever you have to say, leave the roots on, let them dangle

And the dirt

Just to make clear where they come from

Alone

Guilt means that you use up your present moments being immobilized as a result of past behavior.~Dr. WW Dyer
