We've become quiet strangers

Funny, the rucus this damn thing caused.
I always thought it was nice to sing this to you.
At least I was trying to be nice...
For some reason unknown to me it bothered you.
It is a Palauan verse.
As in from Palau.
hopefully this will help it make more sense to you.
And no, I have no idea why I am telling you now.

Ak umibais ra mocha tutau a btuch a obengek.
(I wander close to the early morning, the stars accompany me.)

Ngorakiruu, ea buil a medideruurt el ngara tkul a Ngesang.
(And the full moon is scurrying, to and from, on the outskirts of Ngesang.)

A chelitaki ra irechar amelkio ra renguk.
(The songs of yesterdays are speaking to my soul.)

Ma ikel omeroled a mengitak ‘I ngara medak,
(And the paths we trod are singing in my eyes.)

A finite view of the infinite

You know I'm gonna miss you when I'm gone

Dream: A fairy (yes the little winged kind like tinkerbell) who was apparently mine or attached to me somehow, got lodged in a spiders web and bit. I new I had to help. I took my finger and knocked/flicked it on the butt to get it out from under the web. To prevent it from dying, I sucked the venom out of its back left shoulder. It popped out like some kind of seed. The strange thing is its size just kept adjusting. one moment it is tiny, the next small and later maybe 12 inches. I believe I saved its life but I woke up before I knew for sure.

even my bones have begun to disappear

Even my bones, have begun to disappear

Riding the waves, until the stones of the shore

Illuminated

Neglect the sun, rising in the east

I don't want to be a Robot... with Metal Eyes and a Metal Heart

I am so glad the weekend is finaly here. I need the break. Been burning at both ends for too long. Maybe movies and beer. Maybe a nice bike ride, yoga, tai chi and chi gung. Just feel like I need to breath. Find some space. A quiet open place. perhaps with some chill in the air so I can just sit. I want some fog and rain and the smell of the earth. Tendrils draping the surrounding mountains. Mist thickened night.

finding meaning beyond simple description

Oh the joys of inventory preparation... Sept 29th is the day. Guess I will just have to take Monday off, rest up, gain my strenth... Oh wait, thats what weekends are for. Good thing I will be extending mine. And yes, I am feeling a little thirsty.

A more vulnerable search for truth

Some friends are making a movie.
Watch the trailer?

the sheet your children sleep on

The joys of leaky faucets can be fixed typically by new valve seats and stems...
The joys of trying to be like my brother Chris and trying to figure out a way to hide a beer in here is much more complex...

She used to sing in the language of angels

Angels are spirits, but it is not because they are spirits that they are angels. They become angels when they are sent. For the name angel refers to their office, not their nature. You ask the name of this nature, it is spirit; you ask its office, it is that of an Angel, which is a messenger. -- St. Augustine

A blessing

This is a copy of the blessing I will be giving at the second reception.

God our father,
your breath gives life to the world,

we hear your voice in the wind
and in the quiet of our hearts,

Bless my children
with your strength and wisdom.


Give them eyes to behold the sunset.
And allow them to walk in your beauty.

Grant them wisdom to understand
the lessons you teach us in difficulty and in joy.


Make them always ready to come to you
Not as two separate
But as one life joined


Bless their journey
Sheltered by you.

Youre an angel. I'm gonna cry.

a fervent procession toward redemption

Well, Raelynns wedding is friday.
I trully hope for the best.
My baby is a woman.
I promise I will try to not go all daddy on her.
Well, I gotta go. I leave town tonight...
Missing the Rocky Votolato show tonight.
Missing Bright Eyes saturday night.
but there is after all only one wedding.
and it holds priority!

Sitis, sold her hair to Satan in exchange for food and money

I do deserve a beer...
I guess the question that should be asked is when and where?
