Earlier this evening I saw the most beautiful double rainbow while at work…
And I couldn’t wait to come home and share the experience with all of you!

Reparations
Things are moving slowly
That's just the way it is
For right now
Tho' they had it pretty good
"The times they are a-changin'"
Don't ask me how

Rags. Hundreds of rags.
Hanging limp and lifeless
In the light wind
< >
In the weighted
Moisture-laden
Early morning air
< >
Cloths of former
Substance and meaning
In shredded tatters
< >
Things called flags
Of Countries, of Nations
Of obsolete notions
< >
Remnants of separation
Of a time forgotten
A world we left behind
< >
And who are WE?
Bacon Double Cheeseburger Chili
Posted June 15th, 2008 by DANYes, this is the recipe that was bestowed upon me by the creative consciousness I tapped into after reading The Secret. I wrote about my experiences when I entered this recipe in a cook-off in my blog "The Secret Ingredient in Chili."

"That being said..."
"At the end of the day..."
"It is what it is..."
"Having said that..."
"For all intents and purposes..."
"Move forward...go ahead..."
"Let it go...just move on..."

Blah-blah words used in boardrooms and Dear Abby
Redundant, ineffectual phrases that waste time

I don't want to let go!
I don't want to move on!
Sweet Treats

The treasured trick of time
That on occasion has allowed
This cosmic couplet to shine
In what seems the same cloud
< >
Symbiotic siblings they, the
Quiet Moon, the explosive Sun
At these times, together play
A lunar eclipse is so much fun
< >
One shining and one reflecting
In solar eclipses intersecting
One rising, the other setting

Tempus Fugit
Flumen fluo
Astra castra
Numen Lumino

Time flies
Rivers flow
The stars, my home
Your name, my light
< >
I want to be admired
I want second sight
I want to be desired
In the middle of the night
< >
No matter what
I think is true
All I want or
Need is you
< >
And as time flies
The river does flow
Our lives can move
Entre Nos Deux Coeurs

Entre Nos Deux Coeurs
"Between Our Two Hearts"
< >
< >
< >
Face to face are the sun and the moon
No more pretenses, the end of pretend
This could not have happened too soon
One last chance for our hearts to mend
< >
< >
Why was it so hard for you to see-
You and I living together in love?
What was so hard for you to believe-
The hard hawk nesting with a dove?
