Time To Fall

RDP Tuesday: SEASONS

Today is the beginning of the Autumn Equinox and as we know you can celebrate it with gusto.

Some people set up altars for Mabon.  Some people host parties. Some people decorate their homes in fall colors like oranges and reds and browns and golds.

And then there are people like me or put their dog on a leash and go for a nice walk at dusk to get a taste of the quiet, the still and beautiful  quiet that come with th Fall and of course Winter.

If the sky is clear, on these nights I do some star gazing too.

The Fall brings me peace, it brings me excitement too. Best of all, the Fall is the beginning of story telling time by firelight or candlelight..

Below I have selected some great paintings that perfectly reflect how I feel about Autumn. I hope you enjoy them and the music clips by a great pianist named James Woodward. I’ve also enclosed an instrumental version of a song that seems to be appropriate for the tonight.

When I want time for myself

when I don’t want to spare the time to chit chat

I will find a way to work into the conversation

my fascination with voodoo and cannibals and arts and crafts.

Within seconds I  have all the time in the world to create whatever tickles my fancy-

which include things like voodoo and cannibals and sometimes

arts and crafts and

a little dark magic.

RDP Monday:  SUPERFLUOUS

 My family would  know true bliss, if the dark cloud that is me would float away, get tangled in some trees or maybe trapped on a mountain side never to be seen or heard from again.

Nobody would have to listen to my laugh like a chimp, ooze and creep around our home like a slug or a hungry blow fly looking for it’s next meal.

My family’s Christmas pictures and family portraits would be something they could share with their family and impose about everyone else.

I would like for them to know that sense of perfection that springs self confidence.

So I am going to stay with them, be with them, attach myself to each breath they take so they will know what it is like to be me –

and I hope they enjoy it as much as I do.

Home Away From Home

 I have not found

a place to call home

I have traveled to so many places,

seen so many cities

driven over well paved roads and dirt roads and  walked along side roads that have almost been wiped  away by time.

In all of that time I haven’t found a place to rest my bones.

Perhaps I never will.

Maybe I am a ghost in training.
