Purple - Guns

After the Virginia Tech slaughter, news anchor Brian Williams asked President Bush, "What do we do about these guns?"

The president rocked back on his heels and stammered about it being a time for the nation to heal, that policy would be discussed later.

 If Bush could speak articulately, his response to this vague question would have been

I asked my daughter if she thought that in the future, people would get little microchip implants that would transmit your thoughts directly into somebody else's head, instead of cell phones, email, etc.

"Nah," she drawled, "People love the sound of their own voice too

On Friendship

RamblingRose Published in ReflectionsQuotes by RamblingRose | Comment (0)


And a youth said, "Speak to us of Friendship."

Your friend is your needs answered.

He is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving.

And he is your board and your fireside.

For you come to him with your hunger, and you seek him for peace.

When your friend speaks his mind you fear not the "nay" in your own mind, nor do you

Every Woman

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...
enough money within her control to move out
and rent a place of her own,
even if she never wants to or needs to...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...
something perfect to wear if the employer,
or date of her dreams wants to see her in an hour...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...
a youth she's content to leave behind....

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...

Just for Today

RamblingRose Published in Quotes by RamblingRose | Comment (0)
Just for today
I let go of anger,
knowing I can gently express my inner needs
I let go of worry,
choosing to trust that I have been heard
I am deeply thankful,
to a kind and benevolent universe
I am focused on my work
in creative & productive ways
I am kind and loving,
to myself and all beings.

Blessed Be.

A Few Haikus

The grass is greener
in both the verdant future

In the pointing out

Reading Your Chart

It was midnight
By the time we reached the 12th house
And that’s when
The truth spilled out

There in
The witching hour
That’s when I watched you
Regain your power

Former supervisor, playwright, veteran, supporter of good causes, and Santa Cruz's best barkeep Chris Matthews died over the weekend, and we will all miss him.  I've been reading the kind and generous tributes to Chris which follow the Sentinel article and I notice a lot of them come from across the country.  His influence was far and wide.

The Passing of Chris Matthews

Chris Published in local color by Chris | Comment (1)

Chris Matthews, publican of the beloved local institution Poet and Patriot, died Saturday at the age of 61.

 

Don't know a lot about him, save that he's friendly and surronded by friends whenever I see him at the Poet, and in the Poet, he has created a special environment for working stiffs, students, dart players, card players, colorful characters, and, not

Addition to Advanced Directive

Telynor Published in death and dying by Telynor | Comment (0)

I think if you know what a person believes about death and dying, you'll also know something about what life means to them.  For that reason, I offer a copy of an addition I made to my 'Advanced Directive' below.  (You can obtain an Advanced Directive form from a local hospital or your primary care physician.)

Thoughts on Gandhi

RamblingRose Published in Jokes by RamblingRose | Comment (0)


We all know that Gandhi was a peaceful visionary who led a simple life. What some folks don’t know is what were some of the effects from his chosen lifestyle.

For example, he walked barefoot, and his feet were often sore, despite toughening up.

He ate little and a vegan diet, which caused him not only to feel weak at times, but also to have kinda bad

September ~ A Great Time to Plant and Order Roses

RosesofYesterdayandToday Published in Untagged  by RosesofYesterdayandToday | Comment (0)
