 another christmas come and gone

a fridge groaning with leftovers

a sugar hit that could blow mount vesuvius 

crossed eyes from watching 25 thousand

episodes of the crown

especially lovely

the kind wishes from those i have never met 

but feel closer to than those i have

thank you dear ones 

and now for the next hurdle

new years eve

GLORIA IN EXCELSIS DEO. Antonio Vivaldi. Director: Antonio Fauró

 

Weekly Scribblings # 50

 


she is uneasy about her future

 trust in the lord

 he is with you

you are not alone

 whispered  the ancestors

 

 hopefully 

next week's joyous blessed event 

will bring out the best in everyone

where kindness and generosity

will prevail

 if only momentarily


hopefully

it will provide 

a distraction from the ominous reality

she feels  deep down in her bones

 of an uncertain new year

 


Take Care of Yourselves

Take Care of Others

Never underestimate the healing power of

Random Acts of Kindness

no matter how small


Merry Christmas Everyone !

O no John (arr. Eric Thiman) - Guildford Cathedral Choir (Barry Rose)

o no john no john no john no 

o memories of school days

so long ago

 o how i loved singing this song 

in the choir

o how i clung to music 

to sustain me in my sad times

all through my life

o well

sadness is part of life

i s'pose

o for the wings of a dove

o no not really

i hate flying 

o  my goodness

midnight already

o how time flies 

must sleep

nite

 yes 

the walls have ears

true to type he threw

a tirrivee tantrum

pulled out a clump of his hair

in a rage

and went on a doomscrolling bender

 

outside the weather was bleak

he tapped his fingers on  the desk to a drum roll rhythm

and came up with the perfect answer 

swimming

he would swim until he reached down under 

join men at work

become a super star



Yes

Walls

Swim

Doomscrolling

a coat of paint

a bit of tidying up

 nice views acres of space

 

only an impractical fool 

with rocks in her head

would purchase this
