the end of november

we are connected by tenuous threads.... we may think that the bonds are strong

but a single event can break the delicate link

and then we float apart

not

Black Friday - not!

Stoopid hats - not!

waiting

She, cold and alone

awaits her lover's kisses.

She, long forgotten.

Playing for Change

Listen... and watch.

smoke

What is he smoking?

Bush 'very pleased' with Iraq war outcome

holding on.... letting go

Tightly she holds on

as cruel winds tear at her

soul, she fears is lost.

passion

“Nothing great in the world has ever been accomplished without passion.” ~ Hebbel

take me

Far away this moon.

From my pain and tears she calls,

to my broken heart.

it's late

Late to bloom this rose

It did not love in summer

Autumn filled its heart

reflections

Reflections - they take on forms all their own.... only vaguely resembling the object being reflected, unless the surface is very calm and still.

Gratitude

(My father)

As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them. ~John Fitzgerald Kennedy

fall, falling, fallen

“Autumn is a second spring where every leaf is a flower” ~ Albert Camus

the voters

casting votes... and shadows

vote, vote, VOTE!!!

“People often say that, in a democracy, decisions are made by a majority of the people. Of course, that is not true. Decisions are made by a majority of those who make themselves heard and who vote - a very different thing.” ~ Walter H. Judd

“Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.” ~John Quincy Adams
