Words From Then for Now

Bonnie — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 20:52:25 +0000

Some of them were angry
At the way the earth was abused
By the men who learned how to forge her beauty into power
And they struggled to protect her from them
Only to be confused
By the magnitude of her fury in the final hour
And when the sand was gone and the time arrived
In the naked dawn only a few survived
And in attempts to understand a thing so simple and so huge
Believed that they were meant to live after the deluge

Now let the music keep our spirits high
And let the buildings keep our children dry
Let creation reveal it’s secrets by and by
By and by–
When the light that’s lost within us reaches the sky

– Jackson Browne (1976)

Gardening-Open Thread

Bonnie — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 02:11:07 +0000

My friend Derek and I started having a conversation about all the crazy things going on in the world on the Armagedon Revisited Thread. It has gradually taken on a conversation
about our gardening experiences.

As Derek says, it’s more fun talking about gardening than Armagedon .
So I am opening up this thread for anyone who wants to talk about gardening or
anything else one is doing as we move into a new paradigm.

A Quote for the While

“Instead of cursing the darkness, light a candle for where we’re going.
There’s something ahead worth looking for.”

Neil Young

Season’s Greetings

Bonnie — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 17:27:49 +0000

Lately, I have not been able to think of much to say. It’s time for me to hibernate
for a while to reflect on the past year and plan for the new one. Perhaps to do some
writing.

I would like to wish all who celebrate, a Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday Season to everyone
regardless of your religious or philosophical beliefs.

Blessings and Peace.

Pee in the Shower—Save The Planet

Bonnie — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 22:24:55 +0000

I am all for conserving our resources. I recycle, compost yard debris and kitchen scraps, use canvas bags for shopping. I have a vegetable garden and do lots of other things. I do all these things because I want to.
The British have now floated this new(old) method of saving the planet that I am not so sure I want to do.
Perhaps other folks have other ideas about this. Would love to hear your thoughts.

October’s End

Listen
Bewitching spirits
Detach and glide
Effortlessly in golden profusion
Silently.

Change of the Season

Spaced, even and serene
the hall clock chimes the half hour
Vibrations of change.
