Kilt Monday!

'Cause let's face it,

Mondays can be so rough, hard, difficult.

Happy !0th Birthday, Sweety.

Kilt Monday!

'Cause let's face it,

Mondays can be so rough, hard, difficult.

I'm Planning A Redesign. What Do You Think?

My Wish for the World . . .

The Peace of Wild Things

- Wendell Berry

 

When despair for the world grows in me

and I wake in the night at the least sound

in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,

I go and lie down where the wood drake

rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.

I come into the peace of wild things

who do not tax their lives with forethought

of grief. I come into the presence of still water.

And I feel above me the day-blind stars

waiting with their light. For a time

I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

Quote of the Day

I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.

 - Marilyn Monroe

Bacall

- William Trowbridge

                  To Have and Have Not, 1944

 

Betty Joan Perske, age nineteen, gives that look,

the one that shifts tectonic plates, to Bogie,

and that’s it: Germany surrenders,

Japan bows its apologies, and that sailor

smooches the nurse in Times Square. The world,

no longer black and white, makes love

as D-Day shrinks to just a time for planting

daffodils, and Hiroshima grows Toyotas.

Harry T. has lunch with Stalin; General

Patton takes up nursing Bonsai trees.

“You know how to whistle, don’t you,”

says Bacall, as the moon sighs and the Earth

sighs back. “Just put your lips together

and blow.”
