Strangeness during Irene

Last night we lost one tree - a Poplar tree - no damage to house, but since that one sways with the winds and has never had damage before I was not expecting it.  It did take out a smaller, older lillac and some of my garden.
Other strangeness - i still have dish TV - no problems, but my neighbors cable is out.
Go figure!

I am


Understanding has come slowly, but what has happen is profound.

I can not be bought,
I can not be stolen.
I can not be coerced or intimidated.
What i can give, is given freely...
at a moments notice, without hesitation.
It is not planned or calculated,
it happens.
Without fear nor plans for the future.
I do not want anything from you, but your response of love.
Slowly gently, no questions.
Not a captured light, like a firefly in a jar.
Not a butterfly mounted on a board, dried and a shade of its true self.
But a floating ball of lightening, a butterfly flitting through a forest or a garden.
Be prepared, for i may pass your way
and you would not want to miss what i have to offer.

New Glasses

These are the things that have both made my life better and put me back a few steps while i was getting used to them...


They are special indeed and have some comedy involved.

They are thick (and dirty i notice), but have special attributes.
As a big Star trek fan, i am reminded a bit of Jordy's visor, not in the look, but at some of the special effects that i can now see.
They are without a doubt prisms and now i can tell regulr light from florescent because the prisms seperate the UV portion (there is a purplish halo around flourescent light).
Now there are other strange things, like I see well without them (except everything is doubled) and if i want to i can use them upside down (a very strange look).
So my comedy streak is not here, but maybe there is just a small bit back.

Going through stuff...

Quite litterly.
I brought back a huge box full of "paper work" from the storage facility on a recent trip to Virginia.
The storage room overwhelmed me, so much stuff and then i got a huge bax of stuff to go through when i came back home.
I was looking for something specific, but found trash and treasure and something which would end up helping me with what i was looking for.
My mom never threw anything out, so there were reciepts from Golden Corral from 1997.
Then there was here Red Cross First Aid certification card from 1947.
Then there was a photo copy of the Ellis Island record from when my Grandmother (who i never met) came to the US.
Everything was overwhelming and difficult.
So i have been going through stuff and finding much treasure.
