not of your own accord would you slip away and leave this fragile and wounded man unattended.
i love you deeply, but, i admit, erratically.
my flaws are manifold.
They said she was a jezebel
who led her husband off to hell
but deep inside he knew the truth
for years he tried to be aloof
but she began to feel the pain
and soon she thought she'd go insane
and then one day they called them in
a friend revealed her spoken sin
he asked her please do not explode
but she began to lock and load
the elders ready for a fight
he knew it wasn't really right
and so their minds were now released
they packed their bags and headed east
(a true story)
i am perhaps a bit behind on this but i have just listened to " grandma got run over by a reindeer " sung by elmo and patsy .
it got me to thinking about christmas songs in general ,so i thought a thread about people's favourite christmas songs would be good .
please share your fave christmas music , a carol or something more modern .to start i will list my best carol as hark the herald and my best ever chart song as santa claus is coming to town by bruce springsteen .
I like Feliz navidad because it's such a happy song and everyone can sing it
i dreamed, once again, you were at my side talking, laughing, loving.
the sun warmed my face and you my heart as we lived a life forever.. i awoke with a start that left behind the land of our past, viewing my today for the misery and sadness that, truly, it is and ever shall be.. is it better to live in the land of dreams with the one i love or to exist alone and awake, recalling the dark intent that poisoned your heart?.

I thought of a verse from the Judy collins song
Tears and fears and feeling proud to say I love you right out loud
dreams and schemes and circus crowds i've looked at life that way
but now old friends are acting strange they shake their heads they say i've changed
but somethings lost and somethings gained in living everyday
I've looked at life from both sides now from win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall I really don't know life at all.

She sipped another glass of wine
She stole it from another time
When she was younger and naive
With all those dreams she did believe
that she would someday know for sure
The moon was made of green manure
did you see that one coming my brain twisted again
i dreamed, once again, you were at my side talking, laughing, loving.

Taking that poem into "the meaning of life" or "truth" whatever that may be is a type of misery and sadness but one that opens the eyes to interesting possibilities. It is true that we may not find the answers to our questions but by being available and curious who knows what may be revealed. A good fantasy is like a sipping a glass of wine on the beach, it has it's value but then we have to move on and stare into the abyss of our universal ignorance of what are we doing here and keep looking because maybe we can learn "something" with the time we have left.
I guess I'm in one of those moods
my husband just won the city wide holiday light display for christmas i am so proud .
just a few short years ago i was the one that put a strand of white lights around the porch railing ,and a couple of lighted deer in the yard ....that brought the elders around real quick (after three years of silence ) at that time my husband was still holding onto the notion his faith was not bond to a cult .
it didn't take long after the 'loving sheparding call' for him to see things in another light.
I see the lights I see the party lights
red and blue and green everybody in the crowd is there
but you won't let me make the scene
nice christmas show
Does anyone remember that song it just popped into my mind
and it's not even my own house.. had a three-hour nap and, between chatting with hortensia and fb friends, i have to get the place spin 'n span for client's return.

coffee's on .
potato salad under the stars
or having coctails at the bars
walking dogs beneath the moon
or eating chocolate with a spoon
Hello CoCo
So you run with the pack at midnight (werewolf)
one of the most important sources that we have for the most ancient stages of the religion of israel are some epic texts about the gods of canaan that were found in an archaeological excavation in a place called ras shamra (ancient ugarit) early in the twentieth century.
these epics reveal a very rich ancient canaanite mythology, especially in the elaborated stories of the gods el and baal and their rivals and consorts.
while, of course, the israelite branch of the canaanite group partly defined itself through the rejection of this mythology, much of the imagery and narrative allusions that we find in the works of the israelite prophets, the psalms, and other biblical poetic texts are best illuminated through comparison with these ancient texts.

im recalling a time when i sat and circled words in a watchtower article, indicating strongly the fact that it is in fact the writters opinion.. however just the suggestion in the sentence these words are ignored.. for example.
it is our understanding.
we believe this to be the case.

i just buried my beloved poddle, little brother.
he died suddenly.
i know to most people that is not an important event.
It is very painful and I still think about them even though many years have passed.
