Greetings Ye Who Understanding,
~ The Eternal Dream ~
The Time of Waking-Up was a Passing Fad A Part of Growing-Up a Stage everyone Had, But then it is back to Practical Matters of Life Dealing with an everyday world and its Strife.
A Few hold onto the Dream but Disappointed So making their daily life Mostly so Disjointed, So in the End they Join Ranks with the Many Clinging to the knowns like pinching a penny.
You can't Wake-Up in some Drive-By Fashion There has to be Conviction and Real Passion, Passersby do not Realize This about the Task It is a Taste Test thinking of Questions to Ask.
Just Listen Here you Mirror Mirror on The Wall Please Tell who is the Most Enlightened of All, Surely the Himalayas is a Place to Find a Trail Or The Pilgrimage Up Mount Fuji can not Fail.
Perhaps there's Closer Places not so involved And an Urge for Waking-Up can be Resolved, So look for the Markings and Signs and Robes An Extra is those Hovering Lights and Strobes.
Yet Past the Glitter you'll Find an Ordinary Door Inside you'll Find This Ordinary Guide and More, It is not a Place of FairyTales or Dreamy Sights Just some Simple Monk burning Candle Lights.
A very Unconventional Way to Walk This Path But it is One Left that those True Seekers Hath, The Old Fad has Faded from Every MainStream So it has been Replaced by the Eternal Dream.

>Greetings Ye Who Understanding,
Hello Ray, Don't know about the understanding but there's something that strikes me about this poem.
>~ The Eternal Dream ~ > >The Time of Waking-Up was a Passing Fad >A Part of Growing-Up a Stage everyone Had, >But then it is back to Practical Matters of Life >Dealing with an everyday world and its Strife.
You know I've seen this. People get hot and cold about this stuff. It seems they grow out of it and then move on as though it was just a phase in their life. Beats me, either you look into it or not. Maybe they just play with it because others do it. Most of them don't take it seriously though so it is no big deal. I see that it does bother them though because they believed that there was some sort of magic in it. There is really but not what they were looking for :)
>A Few hold onto the Dream but Disappointed >So making their daily life Mostly so Disjointed, >So in the End they Join Ranks with the Many >Clinging to the knowns like pinching a penny.
Yes a few go off to some school for a few years. A couple of those make something of themselves at the school but that is all. Most just give up.
>You can't Wake-Up in some Drive-By Fashion >There has to be Conviction and Real Passion, >Passersby do not Realize This about the Task >It is a Taste Test thinking of Questions to Ask.
There you go, and that's why they're disappointed and disjointed. They really never give what it takes. They never get it.

Like the guy looking for his keys under a street light. Where did he lose his keys, in the ditch in the dark but there's light under the street light so that's where he looks. Always looking for a cow in a horse stable. You can find them all over discussion groups like this one. Of which I'm glad there aren't any such fools here. A lot of show but they don't say much.

Yes it's always surprising to find your teacher right under your nose. You can't look for him because you won't find him, he'll be there when the time's right. Too many are just caught up in what they're looking for though so never see him when they find him. Mainstream, yes good paying jobs :) I think the dream is that there's a dreamer dreaming of sheep jumping over the fence. If there wasn't any sheep there wouldn't be any dream :) Maybe just a lot of dreamers :)

Yes, there is something in most of the poetry that strikes me to.

The magic is there, but most do not want to give up their beliefs in order to find it. So the drama continues along with the so called seeking. And the seeking is on a superficial level. in name only.
>>A Few hold onto the Dream but Disappointed >>So making their daily life Mostly so Disjointed, >>So in the End they Join Ranks with the Many >>Clinging to the knowns like pinching a penny. > >Yes a few go off to some school for a few years.

Ha, the ones that I know, don't give up but continue to look in all the wrong places. Exchanging one belief for another rather than dropping. Thinking that the idea of nothing to believe will also end their existence and uniqueness.
I have noticed that I make most people nervous. And some just feel uncomfortable around me. They say they can't fit me in a box so don't know who I am or what I am about. And that makes them feel strange.
I am also at this point in time finding myself going through yet another change of some kind. Which also includes people. I find that I have less tolerance to crap and the need to do so much work to maintain a relationship with others. So all the old faithful friends are dropping away. Through my not pursuing them any longer. And yet, the feeling of not being alone is still there in a more comfortable way than before. I also notice that others with different needs are beginning to appear. Not the need of friendship as it is known but a different type of need.
Like the one who had the NDE> Truth is coming out now that we have spent more time together. And the needs are surfacing. Like the need for spiritual counselling. A direction of what to do next and how to change the life. I also heard from the mouth of another yesterday who knew him for along time that since his accident, he is no longer the same man. And the change is larger that first appeared. And the words, he is totally different, came out. I find this fascinating. I had a four hour visit with this man on Saturday.
Seems that he is finding more need to seek me out lately. And more openly about it. It's almost like an inner drive. I see the desperate I need more to life than this. And it appears that the only time he can relax and breathe, is when he is here. His whole life seems to slow down. When he walks in, you can hear his breathing rapidly and shallow. And after a few minutes, his body relaxes and the breath becomes slower and deeper.
Funny about this little mobile home. It seems to have that effect on people. And the yard does also. I heard a couple of comments yesterday from passing neighbours. I find that interesting. They say they all walk a little slower past here and its so nice to have me being the first trailer in the park. As it sets a mood for everyone that passes by. They call me their inspiration to change their own surroundings into one of relaxation and simple beauty. And it seems to be working throughout most yards in the park now. A renewal is taking place in the last couple of years around here.
And this job will also end. There will come a time when its time to move on.
The purging of stuff continues. I am almost down to the necessities only now. The need for space continues to grow. Also the awareness that people around me, are in the phases of dropping addictions. We have another in the park that is entering rehab this month. And a couple of others that have stopped by and said they have also quit drinking. So things around me are in constant flux. People stop and tell me all sorts of things that are none of my business. But they seem to want to chat about it. So I listen, I am a good listener it appears and perhaps that is all they need. Some one who will listen to them and encourage them to continue with the personal changes.
Who the heck knows. All I know is that I should pursue a career in counselling. lol Maybe I don't have time for friends and the dropping away is what needs to be done right now.
All I know is that I continue to live, do what I need to do, be it work outside the home, or do the work at home. As long as I remain available to those who find themselves in the need to drop in or by,
There is knowing in life, and there is not knowing. Seems we just have to remain open to the moment in time. Life does take care of itself. There is no need to guide it along. or work towards a goal. The goal is what ever needs to be done within any moment in time. Somehow like the old saying. save a penny and the dollars take care of themselves. So remain in the moment, and the day takes care of itself. Whatever needs to be done, will get done. And that usually isn't what we think needs to be done.
Speaking of needs. I am in need of a deadbolt lock, or three to be exact. There is a hole in the door that needs to be filled with one. The doors came with the holes already cut. They are used doors so had no choice in that. I go looking for one off and on, and the thought that always grabs me is, What price is paranoia? And I quit looking and say, another day I will find one. And as usual, they will enter into my existence without the seeking of them. \ Its amazing how things find me without me looking. I usually just have the thought, and in awhile things appear. Some things take longer to manifest than others, but everything eventually appears. I took a load of garbage to the dump the other day, and lo and behold if someone didn't throw away some molding that I needed to complete one of the rooms. So I gladly recycled it. Thats like being given a gift of around fifty bucks. But that is how life works.
And she ends yet another ramble of another day in paradise. Wonder what today will bring. lol Each day offers a surprise.
Good morning to all. Shar

Yes the superficial level. But what is gained? Seems their time could be spent better. Games are not productive and also destructive. The games might be a way for them to spend some time but don't seem to care that the games might harm another who might believe the game's real.
>>>A Few hold onto the Dream but Disappointed >>>So making their daily life Mostly so Disjointed, >>>So in the End they Join Ranks with the Many >>>Clinging to the knowns like pinching a penny. >> >>Yes a few go off to some school for a few years.

:)
>Exchanging one belief for another rather than dropping. >Thinking that the >idea of nothing to believe will also end their existence >and uniqueness.
That's a sad fact, like changing clothes or fads :) But it is true that if they actually did become selfless there would only be existence and uniqueness. So nobody to exist or be unique. So they wouldn't care about either.
>I have noticed that I make most people nervous. And some >just feel >uncomfortable around me.
Some things are just obvious :)
>They say they can't fit me in a box so don't know who I am >or what I am about. >And that makes them feel strange.
Well they are strange so feeling strange is normal :)
>I am also at this point in time finding myself going >through yet another >change of some kind.
Each moment is anew :)

All of us have needs and it's a special one who can help us address those needs.

To understand life you already understand death. Help them to understand life and they will understand their experience.
>Seems that he is finding more need to seek me out lately. >And more openly >about it.
You are an understanding person :)

What's this 'than this' part?

A clue that he's come to the right place :)

Not caring seems to be one of the biggest conditionings. When we actually look into the eyes of the suffering, we care. When it is all in our heads and we don't have to face Reality .......but only the news broadcast...well, then we are safe. There has to be Compassion for all and yet with an understanding of what is permanent (real) and what is impermanent (illusion).
When we shake off the smoke and mirrors... there is only I and there is only You and we are made of all the same stuff and we should know it. In our Hearts. We really should Know it. What is there to defeat? Humanity? We are going to defeat ourselves and then raise some flag... what would it proclaim?

Been awhile since I was here, but here I am now. Just an update to what is going down in this neck of the woods.
Had a birthday on Tues. I am now one year older than dirt. Worked that day so celebrations were yesterday instead. With the best tasting strawberries ever.
It seems there are more things to discover and learn now. I found out on Tues, that one of my friends has inoperable cancer. They say it stems from years of working with asbestos in the plumbing supply field of endeavor. They also say it is treatable but not curable. So that tells me that they can do nothing other than try and postpone death or give him something to do while he waiting to die. So instead of being the one who has to be the caregiver, I can be the one who gives the caregiver time off and support through this whole thing. So my training of the last few years with come in handy and yet with a different slant on things. I only hope that I can be some sort of guiding light into easing the mental and emotional pain that we know is coming.
And also found out that a young friend who has just now opened up to the spiritual seeking of something other than religion, has also discovered a mass growing on his back. He went for an ultra sound and they found a tumor that is over a foot long, 6 inches across. and is folded over due to the lack of space for it to grow more in length. Apparently looks more like a sausage. I saw the mass he has and it is right where the kidney is. But he has no problems with his kidneys and the other organs are all working normally. Its a solid mass so not sure what it is at this point. They also told him that it is connected to blood supply so grows like a parasite off his blood. He sees the surgeon today for his opinion. So am waiting with baited breath for the latest update on that.
It sounds similar to the tumor that my daughters fetus had when they induced labour at 5 months. Her tumor had ingested all the organs and they no longer existed within her body but became a part of the tumor itself. She was a beautiful little thing when she was born. I could hold her in one hand.
So once again its a waiting game. It's like there is only a small break in between all this stuff. It's only been a year since my bro died and now the tables are turned. Yet another experience is before me. Actually two of them. Only thing is, this time I can act in the role of supporter rather than the one needing support. Can I pray for strength and energy? lol I think I have a small break in between jobs as soon as I finish this one which will be this weekend. Sounds like good timing to me.
Anyway, this is what life offers at this point in time. Always busy, always something to keep me on my toes and in service in some way. Something that always seem to need the teachings and learnings about detachment, empathy and support.
Life is definitely being lived by some design other than my own. I sure know I wouldn't choose this for myself or them.
So will wait and see what is called for, and in what way it is called for.
The wife of the man with cancer, has issues with attachment. And is going to need much help in learning how to let things go, and how to let him go when the time comes. I can predict much suffering on that end. I only hope I can be of service in easing some of that.
Anyway, in the meantime. its a hurry up and wait life. They are all waiting for some word of some kind. I can only hope that whatever the word is, they have the strength to handle what comes to them.
Thats about it for now.
Just a small update as to my silence and absence. Keep smilin' Shar

Hey, Happy Birthday {8-) You are still young enough to still have them? I stopped having them because they are to hard to keep up with {8-) When time started flying by so fast I was having two birthdays a year I figured it was time to stop having them at all.
->It seems there are more things to discover and learn now.
True, when we were kids we thought we knew everything and then as we grow older we see that three is a lot more to know than we will ever know. It seems that the more you know the dumber you are.

Yes asbestos can be quite poisonous, as the ancient Egyptians knew. They used it to coat the doorways to tombs to get even with grave robbers. A slow and painful death. A wonder material to be sure, but hazardous to one's health. Anyway, yes the best we can do is to give our support to both those needing the caregiver and the caregiver.
->So my training of the last few years with come in handy and -> yet with a different slant on things. ->I only hope that I can be some sort of guiding light into easing ->the mental and emotional pain that we know is coming.
I am sure you will be a Guiding Light, as you always have been {8-)

It is baffling most of the time what sort of physical ills we can contract. We always hope that they are not as terminal as they seem to appear.

That is something to see, a human that small. Somewhat unfathomable that we are all that small at some point.

Yes life is so unpredictable and uncertain, it is mind boggling most of the time. But we can only do what we can do and hope that it is enough.
->Anyway, this is what life offers at this point in time.
Thank you for sharing {8-)
->Always busy, always something to keep me on my toes ->and in service in some way.
That is the nice part {8-)
->Something that always seem to need the teachings ->and learnings about detachment, empathy and support.
That is the Truth {8-)

It seems that someone said that life lives us. Or that we are but instruments in life's games.

Expectations and wishful thinking, trying to know the unknown. Seems best to just live life as it happens each Moment from Moment to Moment, it save on the nerves that way. The worst medicine for them is stress because stress will add to the problem thus make it worse. We may as well live life as though we will be gone tomorrow, and savour it as though it will never end. Each Moment is a Happy Birthday so enjoy each Moment, seems to be good medicine {8-)
->Thats about it for now.
A mouthful and a half, thank you for sharing it all.
->Just a small update as to my silence and absence.
We were wondering {8-)
->Keep smilin'
Of course, it is a Happy Birthday {8-)

Na, not allowed to have chocolate. It is loaded with nickle. But still can taste it in my mind. So had it with cream instead. It was so good. Next time you have angel food cake, think of me sharing it with you.

Well, I find it hard to find a reason, I am not that good with it all. So the mind tells me. I find myself shifting perspective when this happens. It's like something in the mind clicks over. And its automatic, not something I have to think about. But I do recognize the shift taking place. What the shift is, I have no idea. But it only takes a moment. And the funny part is, that the minute it happens, more than likely a cleansing takes place in the form of an IBS attack. lol Cute hey. thanks for sharing to much information. I know. But it seems that that for some reason, the body cleans itself.
>You don't pull any punches and you don't >feed them false belief.
Ouch. Are you saying I am blunt? lol
> People who are inclined towards Truth generally >seek it out.
I am inclined to think that the seeking that out, starts long before its needed. Or is that I bore these people to death after they meet me? But sometimes the knowing each other has been after months or years of being together. And yet, like my latest new friend, has been looking for answers. Which I am thinking is not coming fast enough as the alcohol is kicking in again. And not sure it is something I am not doing, or something he is having trouble dealing with. I am finding it hard to get that knowledge to the fore front right now. And that mighty old problem of transference is rearing its ugly head. So the problem is doubled. All of a sudden I have a person that thinks he is in love with me. Oh my goodness. Give me strength to handle this one. lol Its not so bad yet though. I have noticed that when he is drinking he finds his way here, and goes to sleep. He'll get off the couch, walk to the bedroom and go to bed. I just let him sleep there until he can drive home. But the neighbors seem suspicious about what is going on. Not that anything is, but you know neighbours.
He said something about being mothered around me. Which is not quite what it is, but he feels safe in whatever state he's in. And I think that is important. I have no idea what his family thinks though. And I am hoping that his wife and kids are not to bad with this, But none of them have come to see me about it yet. I wish they would, but can't force myself to go to them at this point.
I don't know how to handle this, at least I don't think I know. I can just do what I think is right.
I can totally understand this transference thing, having experienced myself at some point along the way. lol And it seems more real than life itself. I only hope I have the same grace to handle it, as my teacher and friend did. Teaching does rub off doesn't it? Even if that lesson was not dwelled upon?
Anyway, more stuff to talk about. The only time I am at a loss for words, is when I am to busy to write. lol
It appears I also have no secrets. Have to think about that one. Perhaps to honest and to open to what is happening sometimes.
Love to all Shar

ha ha, I get one more then they disappear. According to the kids anyway. I said I was going to age gracefully, and not fight it with hair dyes, surgery, or other ways of trying to look younger. So far its working, ha ha. I am getting older and like that.

But EJ< every day is your birthday, so how can you not continue to have 365 of them each year? We may celebrate 365 days per year, but others only recognize one of those in the linear time line and give you a cake on that day. I say give me cake every day.

I hear you on that one. Many things learned as taken for granted or forgotten by now. And yet, much of that information is still obtainable when one needs it. The way I see it, is that the information is out there, so to speak. Twirling around in the ethers, and when you need it, it comes to you. That way, you can live within the moment without allot of garbage constantly going on in your mind. I learned that letting this stuff be placed just outside the existing body, it will be available when you call for it. Other than that. Your mind can remain free to what is. So any thoughts that come up, if needed, are placed outside the self, for easy recall. It's like a pantry.
> Anyway, yes the best we can do is to give our support to >both those needing the caregiver and the caregiver.
And here I was thinking that I was in for some time off. But no, not so much of that happening. Just when you think you have time to be a little more selfish, you are told, no, that isn't going to happen.

Ah, thats it isn't it? Always hoping life will carry on for us. No matter how much we have to suffer to hang on to it. Be it our own or someone elses. We can sure prove to be greedy that way. Sometimes I think we should just rejoice that the human experience in this life time is almost over. But that could be far to out there thinking. We all will die in the end, the question is always, where and when is that end to life as we know it in human form.
>->She was a beautiful little thing when she was born. I could hold her in >->one hand. > That is something to see, a human that small. Somewhat unfathomable >that we are all that small at some point.
What has always amazed me is love. The love one experiences when things happen to a once living form. It has never ceased to keep me in awe how we are encompassed with that over powerful sense of love in our so called time of need. And yet, it is that pure love that we seek. Sometimes our grief is to self centered to feel that, or experience that though. And yet, it is always present to us, if we allow it to be experienced.
>->I think I have a small break in between jobs as soon as I finish this one >->which will be this weekend. >->Sounds like good timing to me. > > Yes life is so unpredictable and uncertain, it is mind boggling most >of the time. But we can only do what we can do and hope that it is enough.
Another thing that always surprises me, is timing. When I need to have time, it appears. There hasn't been a conflict in time and the need to be there for along time. Things just always work out.
>->Anyway, this is what life offers at this point in time. > > Thank you for sharing {8-)
Its basically all there is to share. Experiences are like that. I can't share what I am not experiencing, or what I haven't experienced. That would be just plain hearsay. And hearsay for me, is not truth. So the sharing comes from life itself. I have no choice.
>->Always busy, always something to keep me on my toes >->and in service in some way. > > That is the nice part {8-)
I suppose it is. I think its the universe telling me not to make plans. With no plans in place, there is no room for disappointment.
>->Something that always seem to need the teachings >->and learnings about detachment, empathy and support. > > That is the Truth {8-)
And to incorporate Rhondas wisdom into this post at this point, What is it, that attracts me to death, or death seems to find me. I never thought about that, until she said that. But lately that has become truth in many ways. The fear of death, the chance of death, or the fact that death is imminent. Is this what I have come to do in life? To assist others to cross over with grace? Or to help them accept it for what it is? I find that thought a bit un-nerving if it is. But I guess I will find out.
>->Life is definitely being lived by some design other than my own. >->I sure know I wouldn't choose this for myself or them. > > It seems that someone said that life lives us. Or that we are but >instruments in life's games.
I understand that fully. Its definately a non choice thing. I am sure if we had choices, none of what we experience would be experienced. And mostly from the state of fear, fear of pain, in all ways it can be experienced. Be it emotional, physical, mental or spiritual. It is kind of amazing to watch the cycles though. To actually see the different types of control being dropped through acceptance of what is. And although they say that these bodies are dropped after death, I have seen them drop before death occurs. Acceptance always seems to come before death takes place. As does attachment to it.
>->Thats about it for now. > > A mouthful and a half, thank you for sharing it all.

Isn't there always.. so it seems... Thanks for your sharings Shar. As cold as it may sound and it certainly is not meant that way...but it seems that people who are facing human death are drawn to you. And there is a very good reason for that from what i can see. You don't pull any punches and you don't feed them false belief. People who are inclined towards Truth generally seek it out.

Well it was interesting yesterday.
I went to work at 8am. home at 11:30 for lunch, back to work at 1 pm. Home at 3pm Nothing better than watching paint dry, so did the day in shifts. Around 4, I was outside and noticed my lawn mower was gone.
Seems thieves like my stuff and need it more than I do. So I sat down and wrote a thank you note to the letters to the editor for the local paper. I wanted to thank the thieves for making my choices for me. I didn't know when or how I was going to get the thing running, and cut the grass anyway. Now I don't have to worry about it. I can only hope it sits next to the chiminea they stole from me last year. And thats what I said in my letter, not word for word, but content.
I am thinking that there is no way to get ahead in life anymore. You can work your butt off for basic living, just to have it all taken in flash. I only hope they needed it more than I did. Seems over time, everything I took as a part of my inheritance has been slowly stolen from me. I must not be living simple enough already. So now life is even simpler. I don't have to mow the lawn. Perhaps I should just get attack rabbits or a goat.
I do have a fence around me, but it's chain link, so there is no privacy at all. And in the need to replace the mower, my idea of putting up some sort of privacy wall on the existing fence, is no longer affordable. The yard is 120 long. I was going to put up some sort of lattice that I would down if and when I moved. Nothing in life is permanent that is for sure. In all ways, not just a few.
I planted vines last year but they are slow in growing. I thought they were all rapid vines but no. lol. I guess rapid is in the time frame outside of mine.
Anyway, thats my whine for today, Love Shar

The mountains are awesome, they stretch up through the sky without anything blocking their way. Right through the clouds that just hang there. The birds fly around leisurely like their on vacation. Doesn't seem to be much difference whether the vine is straight or twisted in some strange fashion. The fish don't even consider that they are trapped in the lake. And the little mountain flower smiles regardless of the weather. And when a leaf falls into the lake the whole surface of the lake seems to vibrate. It's like a dream that just happens all by itself and keeps one in awe.

Good Morning Ma and everyone else
I always enjoy your poetry, and especially this little thing, it is beautiful. And sometimes, Shar, life plays out strange things so as to make sure to us that we are not the ones in charge, like yesterday night when I had been Struggling for an hour with a text on the computer and I had expresssed a couple of sighs but as I was finallly finished with the thing, the power decided to go off, and in a black flash I saw it all slip out in the nothingness. What do you say, you just stare at the screen trying to comprehend what happened. Hahaha...
Have a Beautiful Day everyone :) Anna

Greetings,
If you want to learn to jump like a frog go talk to a frog, if you want to learn how to Sleep talk to the Sleeping, if you want to learn how to start Awakening go talk to those Awakening. And Listen to whoever it is you want to learn something from, Absorb it and then Apply it so you can BE it. I can only stress that clinging to the old is a defilement that stands in the way of our Awakening.

LOL, I feel so naked without my lawn mower. I was lucky enough to borrow my neighbors mower, and anther one had an extra I can use until I get one. So all in all, its not a big deal. I have been however, seeking out information to improve my fence and get more privacy around here, at least in the back yard. Which the whole thing is on the street side. There is no back yard so to speak, its a side yard that runs with absolutely no privacy from the road at all. only a chain link fence. And those things you put in the chain link are over 50 dollars for 10 feet, I could have fell over when I heard that. I need at least 120 feet so that isn't going to happen,
So life carries on. And so does this plotting planning mind of mine. I put the idea out to the universe, now will sit back and wait for the answer. It always comes in one form or another.
Good morning all/ Shar

lol, ain't that the truth? It opens us up to new possibilities that we have been closed off too. Or never realized we were closed off too. I still wonder if there is such a thing as attack rabbits.

I hear ya on that one. Makes you wonder if what one wrote was something that wasn't suppose to be read sometimes. Some days words flow like water, and they go down the drain of cyber space just as quickly. Then you sit in a blank stare and can't retrieve a word from the old brain. So then you get up have coffee, and go outside. In whatever order.
Good morning to you as well. Shar

Well now you can add the metal umbrella stand I was going to use for my new clothes line. You know, one of those fancy heavy metal ones that are cut into flowers around the bottom. I took two years of waiting to find at a garage sale. It cost me ten dollars that way instead of forty or fifty as normal. Now I can't wait another two years to replace it. I just replaced the falling apart clothes line thing with one a little bigger to handle the quilt better. Grrr. It's not that I am attached to these things. It's the fact that I waited that long for them to appear, and when they did, they disappeared just as quickly. Ah well. what to do?
Now I think I want both, attack rabbits and a goat. A mean billy will do.

ah!!! But when i was a young girl...they were the most awesome flower! Not only were they the prettiest yellow...but we never-endingly held them up to the chin to determine a love of butter. A beautiful flower AND a game TOO! I like to give the dandelions their chance. They don't last all that long and they usher in the rest of the spring flowers. Soon it will be June and the poppies and day lilies and irises will be smiling too.
I was actually kind of hoping some silver haired devil would bewitch you with his offer to cut your grass. :) But, hey, being lent a lawnmower is almost just as fine.
more hugs

I am sorry everybody, but i am still stuck on the issue of the 'missing lawnmover'. :) It strikes me...who took the lawnmower? Why did someone do that? Was it a young 'hood' who was going to resell it? Was it a man who was poor and wanted to give his children the smell of a fresh cut lawn? Was it a small engine repair man who needed it for parts? Why did Shar's lawn mower disappear?
Perhaps....maybe....the people who lent her a hand...perhaps they needed...........to be needed. Perhaps everything is just as it is so that it can be just as it is.
or not :)

Yes a sad commentary on the state that humanity has become. It is a shame that we have to lock up things just so we will know that we will have them when we go to use them. Inconvenient more than anything, and the recognition that mass integrity is slipping away from the common modus operandi. Crowley's message "do as thou wilt" seems to becoming too prominent in the world at large, at least on this continent.

There was a time, and not that long ago, when one never had to worry even if they did not lock their door when they left home because they knew no one would go in knowing that you were not home. And if you found something missing in your yard you knew that someone borrowed it and will return it when they are finished with it. There are still some of those places left, but they seem to be few and far between.

Yes, dandelions and children. We too used them as entertainment for many hours on end. There wasn't as many as there are now though, due to this area was mostly forested back then. We made crowns and necklaces, etc covering ourselves in that sticky white milk from the stems. And to help old mother nature out, we would blow the fluff from all of the ones we could find. The thing is though, they can't handle fertilizer very well and if the lawn is lush, the dandelions are few. They love bad soil and dryness to be at their best. And although many complain at the use of roundup etc, they are all just a super strength fertilizer that forces them to outgrow their own capabilities. Thats why they instantly go to seed after being touched with it.

We are so far behind this year. Our tulips are just starting to bloom around here. Usually they are done by now. But spring is slow in arriving, and new snow on the mountains with each spring rain. The wind is cold and we have had frost just last week. I was thinking I may just keep the moss in the yard so it looks green without having to mow it. And have found a few morals growing in the yard this spring as well which is a new thing.

Ha ha ha, careful what you wish for. Don't forget I like my life as it is right now with all its ups and downs. Its perfect in its imperfect way. Theft or not.
> But, hey, being lent a lawnmower >is almost just as fine.
Ah, life is good. I have to finish painting my neighbours shed this weekend, it needs another coat on the west side. Thats the one that gets all the weather where its situated. Just to water proof it more than anything else. It looks fine, but needs that protection from a bit more oil. She is recouping just fine after losing her lung, and is allot more mobile now. Feels great and is in fine spirits. We have had a big turnover in the park lately. There are many single women moving in, and some of them I already know. So thats kind of nice. The prices around town are rising, so these women are taking advantage of owning their own places instead of renting and throwing money away. Some of the mobiles were going for 6 grand or so, and some are listed at 50 or 60 which is totally crazy. But thats just a couple of them. The ones for 30 have dropped lower.
Life is strange. And people are stranger. But all in all, its just one big moment rolling in to the next moment. You just never know what is going to happen next. The landlords only grandchild, who was turning two, passed away a few days ago. That must be hard to handle. For some reason losing a child seems so much more difficult than losing a parent or brother. I think it has to do with the cutest and helplessness of a child.
Anyway, enough blabbing for this am. Smilin all the way Shar
