It's time friend time, for peace your spirit ached, the days chased the days, each passing moment raked away a grain of life,and while we would have rather have you lived on, low, all at once you died. Here happiness is not but peace and freedom are. A. Pushkin.
That is real imagination, which is something Man 5 has too.

Very nice AreBor - a voice of reason and truth, you are that is lol
“History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again.”
Maya Angelou
Each day as I begin my Medicine Wheel walk, one of the first things I do is surrender my ego, my doubts, my fears and the voice asked me to share with you to “also surrender our illusions”, those pictures that we have used to embellish our stories.
So, I thank you for allowing this lengthy discourse. I am in the process of sifting thru the pages of my life story and letting go of those things I have used to protect my injured little child all of these years. I would ask the same of you my friends, for how else can we end years of subjugation to those relics of the past that have allowed us to entomb ourselves. Let us hold sacred space for each of us to find our truth.
Blessings and Love,
Shirley Catanzaro

Hope everyone's o.k now?.... Here's something I wrote today

Finding Beauty
Don't tell me that I am never there or that you cannot find me.
I am always constant. Existing in every moment.
Yet, you must walk carefully to avoid the shattered pieces.
They are but abstractions magnifying your pain.
I am not where these broken shards wound.
Let them go.
Slow down, look, breathe, listen
Embrace me, for I am you. I am your art, your voice, your smile.
I am the dew on leaves, the words you speak, the laughter of a child.
I am the moonlight, the red boots on a saturday night, the rain.
Slow down, look, breathe, listen
don't try to force it, you will find me
In the simple things
breathe---
there I am in the small spaces, while the world rushes past.
slow down, look, breathe, listen
you will find me.
I am beauty
Anne

The Devil in the Dark
In the dark of my night
the devil would come to me
working on a mystery
wanting my help in setting
him free
can't we just let it be let it be
In the long dark night
of my soul
the devil whispers to me
Only you can set me free
Come to me
Come to me
Take my hand and lead me
to the promised land
the promised land
Just before dawn
in the chill of
the night
the devil sigh's to me
Once I am really free
I can't reveal my destiny
must take cover, run and hide
but in the Spring when the
buds are blooming
I'll take you home by the sea
and a rebel's wife ye'll be
a rebel's wife ye'll be
inspired by misheard lyrics in a Tom Petty song

It all started in Canada, when a high school jock saw a young teen harassed and bullied for wearing a pink shirt - he defended the young man to the bullies, then he rallied his friends - next day hundred of teen should up at their high school wearing pink shirts - a sea of pink shirts in support of a young man, who's only crime was to wear a pink shirt to school.
Now it's an international day around the world - pink shirts everywhere
Pink Shirt Day
Today we are in "the pink"
to support the ones
who can't speak
for themselves
There are tons and tons
of bullys hurting the weak
so that they can't speak
Today we support the ones
who are hurt, in school
in life in the world
give it a try support them
when they cry
help heal the hurt
wear a pink shirt
wear a pink shirt
to support the victims
of cruel bullys
fully and completely

Angel with a Broke Wing
She lays at your feet broken and tired
an angel with a broken wing
and she sings her sad song to try
and right wrongs - right wrongs
The angel gave up on you
it's true, she lost her faith
and love for the ones
who beat her and scorned her
Shouts at the top of her lungs
This is what you wanted this curse
What could be worse could be worse
The angel with the broken wing
cries for her children - no sin, no sing
no song - just blood, pain and wrongs
too many wrongs
this is what you did this is your story
the last glimpse of your glory
she cries for the man and you smile
that cruel smile all the while
she sings and cries and wrings
her hands
and ask you why - why and more
whys
she cries and cries for all mankind
The journey of the Golden Hind
is over, gone, lost in a field
of Clover it's over, it's over

Sinners at the Apocalypse Diner
A message of Sin from a Sinner
welcome to the apocalypse dinner
A sage of great power rocks his own boat and goes for the throat -
he's the fox the sneaky wily fox
A message of Sin grin a bear it girl,
you brought it to your house the louse -
the dogs of war abhor the mean
\mean ones a ton of fun for his devil-dogs
hogs of the wild to drain and pain -
he is the one a ton of fun a real grinner and a sinner
to boot what a hoot and what a cute hooter
looters steal and feel and take your name
and take your money honey
it's done and out of my hands
It's left to the Battle of the Bands

Peter's Limerick
There once was a man named Peter
Who drank lots of milk
by the litre
He danced round and round
His smile was turned down
When he tripped on his
tabby named Tweeter

HAHAHAHAHA - surprisingly good!

Although "pezzata" and "commossa, referred to the armpit, are Roman slang words for "sweaty", meaning respectively "patched" and "driven to tears" (gotta love those Romans!).
And the rest is: if you smell it, it smells like pit cheese.
Bet y'all didn't know I was also a poet!

If you want to have fun with those translators, take a PG song translate it into Japanese, or Chinese then translated it back to English - it comes back slightly screwed up and can be funny

Thorn in my side
There you are again you won't let me sleep
you invade my dreams and
stir up the memories
Always laughing at my screams
I hide in my castle keep
but you break down the walls
and crash my sleep
Nowhere to run or hide
you are the thorn in my side
your dark spell takes me over
you inflame my soul and hover
over me as I sleep
I awake to your taste
you burn me waste me
I know you lied and lied
always the thorn in my side
A captive was I but I broke free
you hunted and came after me
I gave up the fight that hot summer's night
I gave it up and surrendered
drifting on a summer's tide
Saw you standing there
A thorn in my side
A thorn in my side

translated to Japanese then back to English
That voice again
I'm listening to the conversation
judge and jury in my head
it's colouring everything
all we did and said
and still I head that sharp tongue talking
talking tangled words
I can sense the danger
just listen to the wind
I want you close I want you near
I can't help but listen
but I don't want to hear
hear that voice again
I want to be with you
I want to be clear
but each time I try
it's the voice I hear
I hear that voice again
from Japanese to English
I' Judge of conversation of my head
and m it' which inquires about the jury;
The coloration of s we do entirely,
everything which was said and
still I speak thing malicious tongue,
as for me who take the lead
word you speak
and made tangle
I can' which you think exactly
inquire about the wind
which can feel danger
I think that close me we want soon, that we want;
But the help measles of t it does and hears I don'
But for the second time hear
the voice we would like to hear,
me as for me we would l
ike there to be with you,
t we would like to be clear,
it' which I try at each time;
Voice I whom s I hear hear
that voice for the second time

Sloburn into Greek then back to English
A probability I move itself, I take a gunfire I be cold -
you keep warm
We look at outside, lyin'? awake
You see the birds the surface in a silent lake.
But does it take me erroneous,
you are powerful when I'm behind in the island Avalon
you don't take me erroneous,
You are powerful
When the argon sunset of burns does come front
You did the VE take does remain night
the VE took it thinks that.

Until You Dare by Eric Bazilian
Until you dare to go where no man has ever been before
To leave behind the safety that you struggle for
And get a taste of madness
Until you dare to open up your heart and get it spat upon
Drink the wine and smell the sadness
Take the goodness with the badness
Until you dare
How will you know how far you might have gone
How high you might have climbed
How hard you might have fallen
And how will you learn how good it feels to be alive
How you gonna learn how to fly when you're so busy crawling
God knows where...
Until you dare to be what you are in spite of everything
Less than a god but so much more than a king
In spite of how they hound you
Until you dare to open up your eyes and see what's going on
It's really nothing so profound
You just watch it going on around you until you dare
How will you know how far you might have gone
How high you might have climbed
How hard you might have fallen
And how will you learn how good it feels to be alive
How you gonna learn how to fly when you're so busy crawling
Until you dare...
And now the slate is clean
Your cup it runneth over though the times are lean
And you're still getting over but until you dare
To go where your mind has never been before
How will you know how far you might have gone
How high you might have climbed
How hard you might have fallen
And how will you learn how good it feels just to be alive
How you gonna learn how to fly when you're so busy crawling
How much more will you take before you make your move
How you gonna learn how to live instead of just simply dying
Until you dare.
