Rememberance; Paint the town...

Rememberance

❡ And you wait, keep waiting for that one thing

which would infinitely enrich your life:

the powerful, uniquely uncommon,

the awakening of dormant stones,

depths that would reveal you to yourself.

In the dusk you notice the book shelves

with their volumes in gold and in brown;

and you think of far lands you journeyed,

of pictures and of shimmering gowns

worn by women you conquered and lost.

And it comes to you all of a sudden:

That was it!
And you arise, for you are

aware of a year in your distant past

with its fears and events and prayers.

Rainer Maria Rilke

Translated by ⎆ Albert Ernest Flemming




Sir, I thank you everso kindly... for I love Rilke; if not for your translating...

Rebirth ~ Red egg

Have you ever heard of    Lois Rodden? As a avid astro chick, I discovered her not long after I got a comp & got on line in 2004, she ( with Mark McDonough ) founded the Astrodatabank, the most amazing astrology data site anywhere, however, that somehow became lost with her passing in 2003, I found it to be less and less of what it was as time went by, I think understandably so.... WELL ! Whoo who, I just ran into a blog with some great info (got to get that link) I'm just so excited to see that Wiki has her comprehensive data online, tis a truly stunning body of work done by,  Lois Rodden & and her collaborators. If you're into astrology, you just may love, love, love it! "The Astro-Databank wiki publishes the huge collection of astrological data collected by Lois Rodden and her cooperators, so that these data can be used for astrological research, for astrological publications and for serious astrological discussion." quoted from wikipedia, oOo goodness I love wiki, now oh honey cake if I could just get this to wrap right, but I am not an html whiz by an stretch !

Trees

Oct 11th, 2008 with a fever of 103. + Birch & company your beauty did not escape me, as I half laid on the earth, partially supported by your sturdy, and peeling silvery trunk...

11:01:04AM returning from New Hampshire a stop at Loon Mountain.



Alone with myself
The trees bend
to carress me
The shade hugs
my heart.
