Soul Cry

A song is when the heart wells up and cries
when the tongue can not find the words 
when speech fails a stern look
the soul breaks forth with its on music
and those around can hear divine spark



Meladon of the island Kedos




Melbadon
   Kyon, the only son of Nadan sat outside the mighty gates of Mithar one day viewing the people as they came and went. As Banerra and her son Melbadon approached from the tent village, Kyon spoke to them saying, "Behold a righteous man of good character! From the seeds of your sorrow, Melbadon shall you be called the Father of Goat Castle and a son from your line a Priest shall come." Banerra asked, "What of me good sir?" To which Nadan replied with a grave smile, "Blessed mother you have already played your role and shall be herald with love." Two weeks later she died in her sleep.

There was a man who lived thirty-two years with his mother. When she died he buried her on the island of Kedos in the Lake of Nethro, south of the Bay of Luhun. He lived alone on the island. He never kissed a woman, nor lay with any; for he never knew their physical love.  He was a serious, kind and loving man, but a lonely man. He painted and crafted bits of stone as tiles. On island of Kedos, Melbadon built a house with a tall single tower and a massive courtyard and wall about the island with the Lake of Nethro as its mote. The stones he used were pebbles gathered from the island alone. Thirty-two years after the death of his mother, Melbadon completed his masterpiece which was as elaborate and grand as any eastern royal palace. The day Melbadon finished building his home he went to the mainland. Going to the tent village of Slavath he met a young woman selling wares named Shelva and begged her to be his wife. She agreed and they later had three sons: Dorban, Korban, and Sorban of Nethro Island. When his youngest son, Sorban became seventeen years of age Melbadon died at the age of 122 happy and content.
Twenty-two years later Melshavaon, son of Sorban became a Priest of Mithar and one of its wisest teachers.

I FEEL LIKE CRYING

I feel like crying
on sunny days when others laugh
during the most upbeat of songs are playing
as the rain pelts the window seal
I feel like weeping thinking of loss
yet I hold back the tear and smile instead
if others only knew just an aroma
of the depths things held back
much was evaporated under the blood
though its void is ever present
i know beyond knowing its still there
though i want it gone its who i am

Teddy: Introducing our New Puppy


THEY say that people who have had a lot of pets in their lives have a lot of "love" to share.  We loved our poodle, Micah very much and he touch our lives for 11 years with so much joy.  Never forgetting him, but needing to continue to share that love and ease the pain of his loss, my son-in-law James and my daughter Elizabeth will be gifting us with a new puppy.  The bred is a Shih tzu; born four weeks ago and not yet weaned.  Lady Snow, Alice has already picked out a name: Teddy.  He looks like a "Teddy bear".  I thought Chewie, ( Chewbacca from Star Wars); would have been a cute name.


MOVING IN A YEAR:

Since we're moving in a year and I will be doing the move by myself; I'm basically starting to pack up now. Just a few little things here and there; glasses in a cabinet, odds and ends in tucked away shelves, books and things not used on a daily bases. I'm also throwing a few collected items in the boxes as I go along packing; such as some paper goods (toilet paper and paper towels, cup of soups, a few cans here and there tossed into a box here and there. The idea being; when in a year "the unpacking" begins then hopefully we wont need a lot of grocery items - thus, saving a little money after we move. My intent is to make the move easier and the move-in "surprises" ease the stress of a new environment. At this point, still not sure of the location where we'll be moving to. Just looking forward to a nice change.

HERE is just one of many we are looking into at this time

3X16= Exhaustion

I'm off today and tomorrow. I'm glad to be off for awhile. Just venting, just sharing, just me... I do realize others have their own lives and tolerances but this is my journey. Sadly I'm not as youthful as I once pretended to be. I finished working three back to back 16 hour days and am utterly spent. My silly State Supported Job "leadership" always 'devise' new ways of help us build personal character. The "new thing" now is we can only work 2 (count them 2) days in a row back to back; the most OFTP [Over Time For Pay] days is 5 (but not to worry they wont pay you for 7, 8, 9 + days Oh nooo those are Comp day). Any who. I worked two 16 hour days back to back; then the other night they told me I was "stuck" (I hate that word). I informed the night shift Supervisor that I had already worked my allotted two days. The reply I got was, "Oh but tonight begins the new Pay Cycle."
I guess my body didn't get the message my brain was told. Yesterday morning as I got off my third 16 hour shift I woke up twice crossing over the broken line on the highway into the other lanes. Blessed that both times traffic was forgiving.
Last night I refused to stayover even as a co-worker almost slipped out trying to stick me. Just saying. One of these days I wont be posting here and well - you may figure out why.

Franklin Snow (our 'other' dog)


Our amazing poodle, Micah passed away earlier today.  His loss is heartbreaking; and yet we can't help but to recall all the fish, birds, hamsters, ferrets, rabbits, turtles, cats, and other dogs we have owned.  We had Micah for 10 years, the last year and a half with him we also had another dog.  My daughter's sister-in-law Michelle, found a little white Terrier-Chihuahua mixed bred.  He was called Frank, I called him "Franklin".

   Franklin is actually one of the first dogs we've ever owned that even played with his toys.  Micah loved the squeak toys, (we always had to buy a new one when we went out shopping - even though they'd tear them up in ten minuets).  But mainly due to Franklin's playfulness Micah stayed active..  We've had Franklin for the last year and a half now; he still has a tendency to chew on things but has gotten better.  Today we notice even he misses Micah's presence.  Hyper thing that he is, Franklin is a very loving dog.  At first anytime the front door was open he would run out; that too has changed and he's gotten better about staying inside the house.
