"The greatest poem ever known..."

                                             long awaited rain makes a big splash...hurray!

       biggest and brightest rainbow i've ever seen...the white on the right bottom is a 4-door pick-up truck

                                   coming and going...  seen more birds since the rain...these are happy birds

                                        lots of sand moved down the dry-washes when it rained

well i got what i wanted for christmas..."a monkey and a plywood violin"...probably should think about getting a room for the night..."It's the Presidential suite ya' know"..."Well the whole cabinet could use the bath-tub...They ought to have lifeguards"...been thinking about putting an advert on a singles site..."If you can't find love at least we can find symmetry"..."but my lifestyle does not appeal to most women..."It might get a wee bit dangerous sugar butt"...but i am always asked complicated questions about what i do..."I tempt those who can be tempted and i punish those who deserve to be punished...that is my function, my occupation,,,my job, my joy..."

heard this on a you tube lecture by John Bradshaw...on shame...

""To a Child"

""The greatest poem ever known/ Is one all poets have outgrown/ The poetry, innate, untold,/ Of being only four years old-/ Still young enough to be a part/ Of natures great impulsive heart/ Born comrade of bird, beast and tree/ And UN-self-conscious as a bee-/ And yet with lovely reason skilled / Each day a new paradise to build; / Elate explorer of each sense/ Without dismay, without pretense!-/ In your unstained transparent eyes / There is no conscious, no surprise/ Lifes queer conundrums you accept, / Your strange divinity still kept.-/ Being, that new absorbs you all/ Harmonious unit, integral/ Will shred into perplexing bits,-oh, contradictions of the wits!/ And life, that sets all things in rhyme,/ May make you poet too in time-/ But there were days, O' Tender elf,/ When you were poetry itself..."  Christopher Morley
