Perfect Thursday

A perfect Thursday afternoon

Listening to Amor U

While rain hits a harmony tattoo

It sorta feels like you're here, too

The M-Audio speakers are full out blasting

About my loves short/ long/ ever-lasting

Listening to beats on higher

Built by Anas Canon's fire

The aloe bush is also ablaze

Fifteen orange feathers decorate its maze

I'm leaning on a different story

In Aloe Vera's reflected glory

Raindrops filter my garden view

The beauty which i share with you

The Alchemy of Onions

Who'a thunk I'd have such fun

With a five pound bag of on-ions

Just slice, add salt and oil, and heat

Until they become soft, and sweet

It's called Onion Marmalade

A perfect dish for a rainy day

You have to stir each 15 minutes

To develop flavor in it

This goes on for hours

Four to be explicit

The more time the onions cook on low,

the more the flavor's in it

I like the slow-food concept

Jammed up and jelly tight

Transforming simple onions to a gourmet's delight

Let roaring thunder sound it's noise

And lightning match it's boast

I'll be cozy in my room

with marmalade and toast

How dee-lish to love Ganesh!

I was out walking in the wind and rain today. It was a case of grab some time outside before it gets stormier, floodier, and generally less user-friendly. I had rigged up what amounted to an umbrella hat, part of my new "mad hatter comfy look", which worked wonderfully. So I was still dry after an hour plus on the path. . .

Last Friday I was in "after glow" from a very good business meeting with Susu Attar, and a somewhat productive fact-finding mission to the Elite Cafe. In fact, I went home quite merrily and threw myself in bed, where I realized my Ganesha ring was missing---Ganesha! I had the ring made for me in Bangkok two years ago. The Ganesha figure had come unsoldered from the ring. This was the second time this had happened, but I had no idea where or when. I was too sleepy to get upset, so I slept and dreamed of the ring intact. In my dream, I relaxed, and so I did the next day. I kept looking for Ganesha, all around my car, and the yard, the house--NOTHING!! Gone, gone, gone.

I have been ardently working on thinking better-feeling thoughts on stubbornly out-of-vortex topics with sporadic success. I was trying, yes, yes, there I was, forward into unconditional love, forward into looking at positive aspects--I went to sit on the sofa in the living room, and there--as if PLACED there, sat my Ganesha in plain sight.

In the last two days I had sat down a dozen times--Ganesha was not there--and now, the overcomer of illusions, re-appeared--plain as day. A sign, I tell you. Just relax. Work hard on feeling good. ALL IS WELL!

A Happy Pumbing Story--LAL--Laughing at Leaks

My good Fortune persists. Yesterday, I discovered a leak under my sink. I left a message for my friend Tim, who is building a house across the street. I then went out for several hours. Upon my return I saw several trucks on the worksite. I found Mike, a plumber. Today, it's only 11 AM--I have entirely new pipes under the kitchen sink, they're black, they're sexy, they work--and all for under $100. Give thanks.

After The Rain--It's Insane!

After rain came pouring down

Dropping water by the pound

I walked while breathing air so sweet

You'd think a rainbow crossed my feet

Purple, blue, yellow, red

Colors coursing through my head

Although the day still remains grey

I'm breathing rainbows all the way

Video of the day: "Badder Romance"

God bless America. This surprisingly candid view into the creative process of some of young citizens, just makes me proud. The flip, the iphone,and so forthhave turned us all into citizen journalists. Can a wave of citizen filmakers be far behind? And boyfriend got moves, I wonder if Public Enemy needs a new back-up dancer?

Love’s new frontier -- The More the Merrier

Love’s new frontier - The Boston Globe

This is an interesting article about a lifestyle trend observed around Boston. It's called Polyamory and means, according to the article,“There’s monogamy where two people are exclusive. There’s cheating in which people are lying about being exclusive. And poly is everything else.” With guidelines.

I have written and recorded a song on the subject called "Polyamorous" on my soon to be released album "Tell a Different Story." Can't wait to share.

Angel at my Table

Tracy Curry just returned from NZ, checks out Chili, and Chocolates with her friend Sharkey. A wondeful year-end party. A new year's discovery: the Africa Channel on cable. Great music videos.
