slip sliding away

i meant to write on world peace day - but time slipped away from me.  but i wished you peace and love and understanding.  i wished away disparities and instead wished for togetherness and harmony. 

then i meant to write about the first day of fall and i got into my jeep.  the temperature read 123 degrees and i was afraid that even my thoughts about sweaters, pumpkins, and mums would melt and leak out the car door onto the pavement.  and then that puddle may seep down through the cracks and disappear.  so i tucked them in a corner to come later...later...later when sister sol perhaps takes a few steps back and allows sister northern wind to play amongst the branches.

then i wanted to write about the bright yellow moon i saw last night who was wearing jupiter as a shiny diamond pendant hanging from her brilliant halo.  i wanted to write about all of that...but time slipped away from me.  i'm not sure why really - it seemed that one minute it was 5:00 and suddenly it was hours later and i couldn't hold my poor eyes open.  and i shuffled off to dreamland. 

so happy world peace day - even if it's two days late. 

happy autumn - i pray that relief comes soon from the heat and the drought.  .

and happy full moon - full of wonder and beauty and mystery.   

and happy today - i hope we all find something new to celebrate.  like another day of living and another opportunity to do something good with (good lord i sound like a bad genesis song don't i?) well, you know how that all goes.  and if you're into such - hooters is having a pirate night tonight - you can meet my brother there to celebrate...well, the female anatomy (if you're so inclined).
