Paradise. Our garden blooms inside these walls: pink frocked, yellow dressed, wearing a blue striped shirt. The fragrance of their gaiety encircles grey haired elders nostalgic for the months of May when they were young, remembering: heel-ball, heel-ball, their snap of fingers twirling in the shadows of the sun. [164.43] 2007-04-21 written at 1st Day of Ridvan celebrations. (4/30: Now edited as an item: "Paradise"  )This early-early morning I wrote another short story with the characters from my vegetarian vampire tales, "Blood of the Garlic". This one is about Bawang Boomerang's two dates with Jason (a newbie who doesn't 'know' Bawang). I showed the first short story to Kelly Nightengale and she thought the idea was a hoot. My Life It could hit 80 today, already 72 at noon. 3 days of warmth and sunshine predicted for the birds, the bees and me. The iris is in bloom and there are even some second-time-around cherry blossoms. Very strange Spring this year. Funnel clouds were seen south of town at 5 pm yesterday, but there was no watch, no warning and no sirens went off. I guess it is back to watching and divining the intent of clouds. I was probably cooking the burgers I'd bought. Picture: http://www2.ljworld.com/photos/2007/apr/28/122612/ Went to hear Rinpoche (of Tibet) last night. He spoke about making our enemies our friends, whether they be people, panic attacks, our fears; that without an enemy there is no boss. He believes we can choose to be happy, that hopefulness, curiosity and meditation are keys, that there is power in Awareness.
