    I didn’t make it the month I intended without burning God’s finest trees, I broke down the other night when I was locked in to a real bad mindset, and my back hurt and I couldn’t sleep.

    I found very little positive in the break, and it didn’t help the revered MS Specialist of mine firmly advocated it. Quite honestly, I never believed in the pain relieving claims, I thought the medicinal value was all mental (it realizes anxiety and depression for me) and appetitie and for seizures and things like that…and thought the cancer patients and NORML arguments were a stretch with the pain thing…but man did I feel old and achey and beat up without it.

    I do need to focus not slipping back into abuse of it though…

    Welcome to your life...

    I just love sychronicities! I was just listening to this LOUDLY and dancing like a crazy (but fun) idiot around the house just before I decided to take a peak at how things were going here. And yes, I agree, it must all be staged. Sending love and strength to all!

    Feeling so much better, thanks to your postings.
    You brought me back to
    the Here (as opposed to Gaza)
    and Now (as opposed to living under some bridge in a post apocalyptic world)

    Had just a few minutes last night to get ready for this event:

    Of all the songs by all the bands…you were rockin’ out to Tears for Fears?? NICE!! I tried listening to a Bartley interview I hadn’t heard, but it was the same old stuff, so I put this one on (…the Lizards they have died!!)



    Trying to get my vibe up…and send out to all you suffering…hope you are well soon

    Really soothing [for me], like a cool balm.

    I find beauty in this [many, probably, won't].

    meeradas, I love ya, brother, but if that was the only music available I'd wrap myself in silence for eternity.

    in a larger social context that music has its place, Dennis.
    If you had been educated in Germany, with their overdose of classical music, you would understand better.

    Same as satire...all are in direct relation to forces applied to the masses.

    The thing with the Western elite is that they understand the need for the public to have some form of vents,
    and will give it...up to a point.
    In a way it makes them more dangerous as the deception is greater.
    They present this idea of permissiveness and freedom, and allowing regimes like North Korea and Cuba to exist
    as examples of what y'all would have to give up if you were to switch sides.

    But they do control both ends of the spectrum, and increasingly so.

    My big lovable cat Bubba was attacked by a Pit Bull. Please pray for him. He's with the vet right now. Waiting. He's scared, and has a broken paw but no internally injuries.



    Here's Bubba, poor guy.

    My son has a cat called Bubba. Black and white and fluffy. Only has three legs, as he was hiding inside the engine of someone's car, when they turned it on. My son rescued him, took him to the vet, but the leg needed to be amputated.
    He is beautiful and manages quite well now.
    May your Bubba recover with the help of the Villagers distant healing efforts, and may he regain perfect health.

    Speaking of Buddha cats,

    Bubba the lucky cat is now out of shock but has to have surgery on his broken paw. The vet said she's amazed he came out of the attack as well as he did. Phew. I'm still nervous about the surgery though. Grateful he is still alive and furious with that dog.

    It would break my youngest niece's heart if we lost Bubba she adores him. He's great with her -like a rag doll and has more patience than I do. She plays with him for hours and he lets her carry and drag him around the house. She puts him in her wagon with her dolls and stuffed bears and hauls him around the yard. I would swear he's almost human....

    Thanks for all your prayers for him.


    Love

    Nora

    ("surrounded...by the things I thought I put away")

    "Blown Wide Open"

    So I'm all surrounded
    By the things I thought I put away
    And I'm all surrounded
    By the things I thought I put away
    And there's a pile in the closet
    That's where I threw some yesterday
    Maybe under the rug
    That's where I swept some the other day

    So the mess is drawing forces
    Outside I hear them say
    Just come out with your hands up
    So we can blow you away
    And I walk out the door
    Get blown wide open
    By the things I put away
    And I wasn't even warned
    Just blown wide open
    Now the mess is where I lay

    So I'm all surrounded
    By the things I thought I put away
    So I'm all surrounded
    By the things I thought I put away
    And if I'm a slob
    Well I never looked at it that way
    Irresponsible
    Well you're not the first to say

    But I told her I'm sorry
    I never wanted it this way
    Yeah, I still need her
    But the mess won't go away

    And I walk the door
    Get blown wide open
    By the things I put away
    And I'm out on the porch
    Just blown wide open
    Now the mess is where I lay

    Yeah, blown wide open
    Blown wide open
    Blown wide open
    Blown wide open
    The gun's still smokin'
    Blood keeps flowin'
    Blown wide open
    Blown wide open
    While she's going

    All surrounded

    <3

    Quote Posted by RunningDeer (here)
    The Steve Miller Band “Serenade"
    Did you see the lights
    As they fell all around you
    Did you hear the music
    Serenade from the stars
    Wake up, wake up
    Wake up and look around you
    We're lost in space
    And the time is our own


    Thank you Paula – beautiful lyrics! I hadn’t heard that one before. Inspired me to make a little gallery of starry artwork from a folder of various artists...



    And further on a theme of stars...
    A couple of old favourites...

    Le Voyage dans la lune - Georges Méliès 1902


    and

    Dead Can Dance - Song Of The Stars
