Slave Boy

There's not a lot to this dream but it was very vivid.

I have been  captured but by who I cannot remember. I am too young to remember such things. I am perhaps nine or ten. I am standing in a cage mad of rounded wood bars (possibly bamboo) spaced apart from one another by about six inches. The bars are held in place by leather thongs impervious to removal.  I know that there are other boys waiting to be auctioned but I cannot see them.


I hear the bustle of the market place around me. The dust of the ground arises from the tramp of human and camel feet. I am waiting the market to be sold. This doesn't sadden me. It only piques my cursorily. I know that yjr person who buys me will be kind and generous. The slave market must be somewhere in the middle. I will be traveling  to Rome along with the other boys.


A free boy slightly older than me approaches me with a peach in his hand. He asks mischievously if I would like a bite.. I certainly do. He takes a big bite out of it after which  only half of the peach remains. He says that I must get of the cage first. I do (although I don't how) and we run away from the other slave boys. We are quick and nimble so that we do not get found. I guess he an escaped boy, too.


He hands me the peach and I eagerly take a bit od it and return it to the boy. The peach is cool and delicious. I return it to him. He smiles and we continue to scamper among through the marketplace.

A Poem About Louise

I’m sitting listening to the fires burn. I’m sitting in the sand hearing the sea churn.  I think I’m alone but i know He’s with me.  I think I am blind but He makes me see.  Still I’m in a pool of loneliness.  I all I can think of is your caress.  I turn inside and view my choices.  I hear the chorus of voices.  Each telling me what to do.  But like gulls overhead they  fade away when I think of you.  Then I see God’s face I know I’m in a state of grace.  No matter what may happen I know you will be there too And the harmony will also wash over you.  The fires will burn inside.  And love and God will be our guide.  Peace at last.  All is past. 

Pippin

I recently acquired a parrot. I have named him Pippin. He's a Conure, a small parrot about two times the size of a sparrow. He has a green body with a light grey chest marked by dark grey horizontal stripes. He has a long red tail and an orange belly. Although his wings are green there's a splash of blue under them. Here he is sitting on the top of my iPad:

Life After Trump (Part One)

[It's been a while since I last blogged. Sorry to all of you out there who follow me. But I've have had my head deep up my ass during this political season.] I supported Hillary Clint0n since before she even declared her candidacy. When Bernie Sanders decided to challenge her in the primary I was very disappointed. For one thing, he only had one message: All the money is at the top. No kidding. He had a splattering of other domestic ideas like a minimum wage hike. All good progressive ideas. But c'mon man. Did he really think that he could win the primary and even if so did he really think the American people would elect a socialist? All that came of his run is divide the Democratic electorate into so-called "left" and "center-left" camps in which young people would follow him down his rabbit hole and continue to protest up to and through the convention. What a waste of time and resources. There was a lot of talk in the media about how Sanders had ...
