Entertainment
For those who haven't totally given up on movies. We recently rented a couple of good ones. "Penelope" reminded me of a fairy tale and was funny. "Martian Child" was more serious in story line but also had lots of humor. You will need Kleenex in a couple spots.
Here are some reflections:
Morning Pages
Storing up memories
images of joy
Alexus and Amanda
walking in the front door
giving hugs
The Tinneys all sitting around
playing with the cat Buddy
Travis laughing
Pictures to be revisited
over and over
memory bits of joy
the cost 0
Amanda and Alexus feeding
a hungry deer potatoes
Its shiny black hooves
perched up on the porch
Long delicate legs
A mental channel change
to an image of a groundhog
eating an ice cream cone
holding it up
with his paws
What a fun painting
with a nice green
fur tree branch behind him
My life is fragmented
my attention torn
To choose what first
to stick to
and see through
to a productive end
Terry is my constant
the fabric on which to lay out
the day
The bracket with which my life
is connected
my underpinning
In the background
that boiler room of God
stoking the fire of life
keeping the pistons chugging
giving breath
Sitting in the distance
on an alabaster bench
one tall thin cedar tree
beside her
Surrounded by manicured
rolling lawn
dressed in an empire wasted gown
sifts one from generations past
dreaming of tomorrow
on a far off shore
Somewhere in her dream
a seed was planted
to lead us to this day
She didn't see the hardship
or the deaths
She only longed for the sunrise
on a distance shore.
