My compass-- The nib of my pen Pointing north On my paper The hues of silence; I hear my own Heartbeat..... Moonlight-- Cereus scents the night air: I sleep One breath At a time.... The synapse of heartstrings In the echo of The Milky Way- Dreams become Poetry...

I could say that I was saved by four dogs and their mistress. But that would be so cryptic that only said dogs, and said mistress, would know what it really meant.
But, these days, I am much in touch with my own sense of mortality. I must decide how to spend the remaining modicum of time I have on the planet. One thing I want to do is resurrect my astrological work and other similar writings.

Van Gogh was not famous in his lifetime. The same has been true of others. I am not saying that we are genius, but I am not saying that we are not, either. The question of the value of our words and thoughts remains open, something to be resolved later.

Rich, yes. Famous under pseudonyms, yes. But I think fame under one’s original name and identity is over-rated. Reginald Kenneth Dwight knew better. He never sought fame. But, Elton John did….

Oh…my….I think at this point. We’re all feeling depressed and the intense of everything going on is difficult.
Yes, we are on partly on lockdown…they just call it stay at home and keep social distance 6 feet away. However, I’m going to share something with you. I don’t know if this is happening where you’re at. I believe next week L.A. is deploying military to our areas and making sure this generation stays at home because they are not taking the situation serious. They think its a joke but its not and its real. So, yeah…their sending in military trucks and they’ve been lined up for a while not. It’s only a matter of time.
