It rained today, but
I had my umbrella, and
prawns for a starter
Death is simply a shedding of the physical body like the butterfly shedding its cocoon. It is a transition to a higher state of consciousness where you continue to perceive, to understand, to laugh, and to be able to grow.

Strawberries and tea
That sounds like a good breakfast
Better than crevettes.

I just made a really refreshing tea: orange and lemon zest. I thought it was a waste to throw away the zests so I've been keeping some in the fridge for ages, and just decided to chuck them all in with hot water, more orange than lemon. It's really nice and would be good chilled.

I must have a prodigious quantity of mind; it takes me as much as a week, sometimes, to make it up.

We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.

Sarah blue parrot
and Dolmansaxlil,
DivaDeb, opti
and Sue say they will

Write a haiku about
All that they did
Methinks they done well -
A lot better than me 'cuz I don't know how to rhyme, and actually these aren't haikus anyway, so maybe I should just go eat a hot dog or something...

Temperature dropped
Forty degrees this evening
This is Wisconsin
Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool.

I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss!

A moving weekend;
Tons of crap put in boxes;
I can't feel my arms.
I cite irreconcilable differences.

The air protects us!
Creates drag and resistance
It makes the rain safe.

Well that may be, Quirt.
But it's far less goofy than
A LAWYER poet
