I, too, am waiting for breakfast , sure that I am starving, the empty spot growing no matter how much toast and honey I stuff in there, wearing leporidae old acquaintance slippers. I also have one eye working, will be able to get it fixed at the end of the month , unlike Ms. Jay's with whom I identify, and - I am fluffed - things not quite right - still able to fly- drive, rather, to the post office with parcels of love to send to son and a little girl down yonder, but- fluffed! You feel it?
Mute the radio -watch the cherry petals snow on the moss that we call "lawn". On we go," or not", as one
august child once said.
Humans de-evolve in large groups, "Imagine" goes wanting. Best song, idea, written for these days of we being human, starving our angels, tolerating & feeding the opposite.
This one is good for these times also always. mournful.
I missed a couple of posts, not sure how. Must have been the malaise. I love that Texas is now slang for bat shit crazy, which they are.
ReplyDeleteYour parents' mistreatment at the hands of Texans is just shameful. Not only can you not sue a Texas doctor, I was told by a former resident that not one anesthesiologist in the state is in network for insurance. So you pay out of pocket for that.
The force of the malaise is strong, I guess because the plant is off its axis.
the force is out of whack! Stand up people!!! Geez, we just let things slide especially after the orange toddler shat all over the land.
DeleteWe are all starving for something, aren't we? And there are so many ways we try to fill ourselves up from Jesus to heroin to work to toast and honey.
ReplyDeleteYour yard is a wonderland.
Creativity comes from starvation- I like to think...If that creativity is allowed to flourish. Our yard is not better homes and gardens, the neighbors wince.
DeleteI love your bunny. I feel guilty eating when so many in Ukraine don't have anything right now.
ReplyDeleteNothing we can do about it Jeanie, If wishes were horses. I do believe that our country could step up and close the damn sky though.
DeleteThe rabbits in the yard are pretty healthy, Cougars are gone now.
I love the birds and critters you see there in your yard. I hope that Jay finds ways to eat and stay nourished.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a while since I listened to the Calling All Angels song. That sunflower goes well with the music.
KD Lang's voice just simply undoes me!
DeleteI hope your jay adapts to its world. How old is the injury, do you suspect?
ReplyDeletefairly recent, maybe a couple of days. Jay is still trying to adapt but I am not optimistic- one eye is too challenging especially for a bird.
DeleteOh, my, the stuff of life these days, LS. You are getting your eye fixed? I had just posted Julian's singing of "Imagine" on fb. He said he'd never sing it unless the world was ending. I guess that's where we are now. Ezra and I saved a ladybug today. So there's that. He built a cover for her of a wet leaf (that she could drink from) and wooden bits. Here's Julian: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NicWjYMPDG0
ReplyDeleteLittle things take us out of this horro of human destruction, earth, each other, wolves and grizzlies- all in peril because of the most horrendous species ever , and then a little boy makes a shelter for a lady bug and puts everything back into perspective- for a moment. These are the days for it, keep it small.
DeleteI love that glorious sunflower and will print it out later to put on my porch wall.
ReplyDeleteI hope the birds and rabbit manage to get enough food. I stopped snacking yesterday and woke up hungry this morning! I'd forgotten what hungry feels like.
I know your "empty" feeling, your soul is needing nourishment, not worry about the war happening. All we can do is hope and look at joyful things.
Beyond hope for human species I reckon. Focusing on the joyful , the animals in the yard, a blueberry, five year old child saving a lady bug, Flora's first tooth,the cherry tree leafing, limiting our personal worlds to the very small wonders within reach. That is how to spend the days these days...
