"Life changes as we're having dinner."
It's an expression I've heard over the years
and eventually understood it by experiencing it.
It's shocking the first time it happens. We somehow adjust.
And then, again, our lives change. We adjust over and over.
And now we have a pandemic, Covid-19, and this, too, shall pass. And we will hopefully return to what will be our new normal . Maybe we'll be a bit softer, not so angry,
not so opinionated in our political beliefs,
not so hateful with our words.
Maybe, just maybe, we won't take our everyday comforts for granted.
Hopefully we'll come to see a dawning of a new world,
one where harmony and good will towards those who hold different beliefs will reign...
and let it begin with me.
Hallelujah!

Ragusa, Sicily.
An beautiful sleepy town steeped in history. Although it was a rainy day, it did not spoil its charm.

Cuando pienso en tanta gente viviendo -sinsentido- queriendo ser como otros; comparándose para terminar perdiendo, porque nunca se bebe grandeza intentando entrar a patadas en zapatos ajenos. Jamás se crece lanzando dardos a dianas con forma de corazón.
Aferrarse a los demás -por no estar solos- es como dejar de escuchar el propio corazón por miedo a que sus latidos dejen de sonar. Para terminar comprendiendo que el amor sin admiración es una canción cosida con ruido; mejor agujas clavadas en labios que besan, que hilos recorriendo cuerpos adheridos a otros por miedo a rutinas y soledades.
Se llama enamorarse desde el tejado -donde entran rayos, truenos, lluvias e insoportables soles- pero ya no existe miedo a sentir; porque el que siente siempre gana aunque pierda.
Seducir con historias que crecen en la mente, lanzando duendes al estomago, donde la inteligencia trenza juegos de mariposas borrachas con alas de leones aprendiendo a volar.
Apagar luces de pantallas -ordenadores y móviles- para encender estrellas navegantes en miradas de deseo. Mejor me gustas a la cara. Compartidos de sábanas como banderas blancas. Etiquetar sonrisas de la persona que amas sin que exista otra más bonita en red de firmamento alguno. Cargar baterías de paciencias y te quieros. Sin emoticonos. Mejor abrazos largos y profundos. Con mensajes leídos con lenguas; no con ojos.
Enamorarse de alguien que no te haga sentir que el amor es difícil. Alargar hasta el infinito el amor sin que el idioma sea imprescindible, una buena historia en versión original -con subtitulos- desnuda besando el alma. Y ese disco duro lo guarda para siempre.

This is what it's all about y'all (Oh yeah)
And I never thought I'd feel this way
And as far as I'm concerned
I'm glad I got the chance to say
That I do believe, I love you
And if I should ever go away
Well, then close your eyes and try
To feel the way we do today
And then if you can remember
Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for
Well, you came and opened me
And now there's so much more I see
And so by the way
I thank you
Oh and then for the times when we're apart
Well, then close your eyes and know
These words are coming from my heart
And then if you can remember
Keep smiling and keep shining
Knowing you can always count on Stevie, for sure
That's what friends are for
In good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for
Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for
Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
'Cause I tell you that's what friends are for
For good times and the bad times
You know that I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for
So all of you, keep smiling, shining
Knowing you can count on D and D for sure
You see that's what friends are for
Keep smiling (Smiling)
Keep shining (Shining)
You know you can count on me for sure
You see that's what friends are
That's what friends are for
That's what friends are for
Thank you all so very, very much
God bless you and goodnight

This tree trunk will eventually disintegrate, dissolve, and disappear - and will be recycled if you wish. A hundred years from now, there will probably be nobody to remember this tree. It will be as if it had never been here. As if. Because it was here. It once stood here for decades and left its imprint in the structure of life, even in the material and physical strata of the planet. As such, this tree has indeed impacted on the structure of the cosmos and changed it. Because it once was here, plenty of tiny changes have occurred around it. Irreversibly so. Remember.
I was everything you wanted to be;
but wasn't
I was your hope.
Your destiny
But it was all wrong
That wasn't meant for you
it was meant for me
How do you feel?
Being second place?
You'll never be anything like me.
Mainly?
because I have it all;
and you clearly, dont.
In Burlington long ago
And later again in Ashtabula
I said to myself:
I wonder how far Ophelia went with Hamlet. 30
What else was there Shakespeare never told?
There must have been something.
If I go bugs I want to do it like Ophelia.
There was class to the way she went out of her head.

Remember Pep rescued me from outside back in June? I'm doing very well in my new home. No one ever came to claim me so my new mommy said I could stay. She changed my name from Samson to Benson. Says I look more like a Benson "Ben". I like to look out the window at Pep and mommy to make sure they come back inside the house. Click on the link below to jog your memory ;-)

Take a moment!
Pause and remember that we are free to go about our business in a somewhat peaceful and civilized way!! There are those around the world that put their lives on the line each and every minute of the day in an effort to contain the criminal element that would prey on an innocent individual! Every time an attack occurrs that attack is leveled at your freedom by those who would subjugate others only to extend their corruption and power and force their will upon them!! It's a difficult world we live in and becoming more challenging! Pray for a return to sanity and common sense and ethical values!!
REMEMBER
Pray for those who have been slain senselessly and pray for their families...those who have lost their loved ones so that we can be free to enjoy life peacefully! Remember that they are people like you and me...people who live next door...sons...fathers...mothers...brothers... and enjoyed life every bit as much as you and I do!!

Bye baby, see you around
Didn't I tell you I wouldn't hold you down
Take good care of yourself, y'hear
Don't let me hear about you shedding a tear
You're gonna make it
You're gonna take it
Remember me as a sunny day
That you once had, along the way
Didn't I inspire you a little higher
Remember me as a funny clown
That made you laugh when you were down
Didn't I boy, didn't I boy
Remember me as a big balloon
At a carnival that ended too soon
Remember me as a breath of spring
Remember me as a good thing

Today, his birthday.
youtu.be/2J7JM0tGgRY Una furtiva lacrima, a furtive tear…
Pavarotti would routinely wipe his brow while performing, and would take his trademark white handkerchief on stage with him.
I grew up with opera and classical music, and now often work to the beautiful sounds of arias and choirs.
The voice is such a beautiful instrument,
What a legacy Luciano left us!
Maestro, thank you, M, (*_*)

.....on her special day with waves of chocolaty goodness!
I found this recipe for marble chiffon cake in mom's cookbook. It took hours to make. Well worth the time, effort, and the zillion eggs! Delicious!!!!!! Goes great with coffee or milk! Served with pureed fruit....... delicious beyond belief. E-mail me if you want the recipe.
The story behind the cake:
I awoke late one night, it was the eve of my fifth birthday (or maybe it was my fourth, who remembers), to find mom walking around the kitchen holding an upside down tube pan with a ladle through the middle in her hand. She had made this special chiffon cake for my birthday, but it had risen above the pan and needed to cool upside down or it would collapse. Since she didn't want to destroy the top of the cake she stuck the ladle through the tube and walked around the kitchen for a very long time until the cake could be turned safely and beautifully out of the pan!
And that's what makes moms so special!

Great character, just sitting outside a coffee house, not sure why he was dressed up, just because he could maybe.

The National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona is a unique one in that it blends into its desert landscape seamlessly. Despite the lack of green,it still manages to bring the reverence and dignity that these fallen heroes deserve....
Hopefully E.T. is on the EE network if he wants to make contact using this new communications mast in Torrin, Isle of Skye.
The patch of light pollution comes from Portree to the north, not helped by a wee bit of low cloud. Will need to come back on the next clear night (sadly rare here) and try to point south when Orion makes its appearance.
Whenever I see light pollution on the horizon, I can't help but remember the 1953 film Invaders from Mars, when young David sees a glowing spaceship from his bedroom window, landing behind a hill at night not far from his house.

It is Remembrance Sunday in a few days to commemorate the contribution of both military and civilian servicemen and women in the two World Wars and later conflicts. I thought this image of the rural village of Adlestrop will be appropriate.
In our busy lives we rarely have the opportunity to step back, ponder and reflect about what those in the military have sacrificed for us to be able to live in peace. We should never forget what those who served have experienced in the face of danger beyond our comprehension.
This coming Friday is Good Friday, a holiday for many. In the midst of your various activities, please take time to consider WHY the day is celebrated.
An old manipulation.
Nehemiah 8:10 NIV Nehemiah said, “Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”
John 16:22 NIV So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.
These are called Resurrection Ferns. They were on the old Camphor Tree out front the first year I moved here (2013) and since cut down. I cannot for the life of me remember what happened that motivated my choice in this two verses way back then ... but I'm leaving them as is. God knows ...
