Ffolkes,

The Shadow Man….
Hajime…. Perhaps I’m making an unwarranted assumption, but, good morning…. For those living in the southeastern part of this country, (Florida, etc.) I hope Irma isn’t hitting y’all too hard, and that y’all can come together to shelter each other through the resulting aftermath. Since the government, despite any claims it may make, will NOT do anything particularly helpful or advantageous to the people, such hopes are probably the best for which you may hope to receive. ‘Twould be nice if ’twere otherwise, but, as we are fond of saying on the streets, oh, well…. Deal with it….
There is no fresh Pearl for today, beyond what you will see here in what is normally the intro section. I have no excuse for not having one ready, other than my own laziness, combined with fatigue unrealized, from the stress of the previous three days. Between worry over my cat, (who is doing well now….), and having to deal with other people’s drama, I lost more sleep than I’d realized, & found myself, for most of the day, alternately napping, and, spacing out on mindless entertainment (when I say, mindless, I mean listening to soft, soothing classical music, or Celtic Woman concerts, or reading for pleasure…. plus some rather basic ‘spacing out’, staring off into space, following my imagination wherever it chose to fly….). I’m hoping to get one going today, but, I find myself still tired, so, we’ll see how it goes.
A new poem is in the works, but, leaking slowly. probably due to the ‘recent unpleasantness’ in my locus. In my current state, I might even come up with a rant, but, if naught else, I’ll find some good music to share, & hope for the best on the rest. For now, this is the extent of what I can do, so, I’ll bring it to a crashing halt, & hope the two pearls included today provide some food for thought.
Y’all have the best day you can, given the unfortunate connotations today possesses, as a ‘day of infamy’ foisted upon us by a number of human groups who hold beliefs which cause them to commit irrational, violently destructive acts upon their fellow humans. No matter how one breaks it down, they are the victims of their own irrational fears, and choose to make others victims as well, to assuage their lack of humanity, and the lack of courage to face their fears…. Fie upon them all, I say, and I choose to ignore them, and their foolish beliefs, giving it the attention it deserves, to wit: NONE.
I think I’ll go on a picture safari today; the heat is finally breaking, & the weather promises to be pretty nice. Hopefully, I can get some good shots, & will include one of them tomorrow, if I can. I’m going to close this now, & get started on what promises to be a busy, if relaxed, day here in what passes for Paradise…. I guess, if you stop to think about it, Paradise is up to each of us to create for ourselves. I, for one, intend to try to make it a good one…. See y’all tomorrow, ffolkes….
Shall we Pearl?…. Sorry…. not today, but, tomorrow’s soon enough….

***************************************
I hope you’re not looking for anything here; this is the closing section, & what you see is all you get today. However, I WILL see y’all tomorrow, given a fair wind, and a rising tide….
Y’all take care out there,
and May the Metaphorse be with you;
Blessed Be, dearest Carole, Mark,Theresa, & Richy
and everyone else, too…
When I works, I works hard.
When I sits, I sits loose.
When I thinks, I falls asleep.
Which is Why….
Sometimes I sits and thinks,
and sometimes,
I just sits.

À bientôt, mon cherí….
SMiLes my FriEnd gigoid.. hopes for a soft
landing surely come true in the three
most western counties of
Florida recently
spared
by both
Cuba and
a ‘Nuclear Powered’
Hurricane Irma with the actual
wind and water power that a calm
eye generates as much as 18 recorded
Hurricane Seasons as Whole A Mighty
pART of Nature to redistribute heat in
what Naturally comes next as
BaLanCinG ForCE A Law of
Equals for
Harmony
and Peace
as Black matches
White above so below
and the deeper essence of
words flow forth even more my
friend as time out of time for now..
it’s surely fun being stranger than strange
particularly when the crosses of strange are not
too great to carry toward milestones of LiGht.. true
strange smells are easier than worst pains and numb
too.. i’ll take the punches however they come and continue
on and
Dance
and Sing
the best
i WiLL too.. my friEnd..
anyway.. just three behind
for today now the flesh and blood world
and the big blue skies have/been/is calling
more for as long as it is not man made all smells
fine my friend even vegetables and fruits as long as i
can stay
away
from
cooked
meats too..
which i will endure
as a source of calories/energy
to continue to Dance and Sing
for after all my canines say continue to eat red meat..;)

It’s true my friend most often tree branches don’t clothe me long..
but it’s
false
all is
my home
i am wind and water
i air and flow wherever i go..:)

So pleased to read Leelu is feeling better, Ned. Yes, it’s true; outside events can cause us such tiredness! Take care… 🙂
