Just shooting the poop with Lori

He travels the world on the backs of others
Insignificant in his stature and size
His journey carries no mission
Randomly roaming at the will of his host
Sated enough to never question his trek
Life is an open adventure without worry
If the excitement of his dusty trail dulls
Another bus awaits to grant passage
With a furry friend to carry him home
Ah the wonderful life of a flea

In response to "Back again"

Writing also has fewer calories.

Even short entries like this count. It keeps the gas from backing up and... well, no need to go there...

Hope you can check in whenever the urge arises.

In response to "Back on"

Post something on the Newsfeed that you're back. Folks don't read blogs like they used to.

Personally, my life has changed a lot in the last few months.

In response to "Songs"

Instagram, YouTube? I dunno. I want to write some stories placed in Thailand... maybe a screen play... complete with music in Thai/Lao. I've even sang some to myself (melody/images rather than words). My voice left me long ago but that shouldn't stop me from singing.

Yep. When the right ship passes by... you'll be ready.

In response to "Old Friends"

I wish... I was looking forward to my high-school reunion... but covid. I no longer live close to where I grew up. None of them live here. I have to rely on new connections.

In response to "Happiness"

I didn't connect well as a child. Never quite felt at ease in my skin and I wasn't taught how to get along.

So I've spent a lifetime working on connections. Sometimes it worked! No need to mention the other times.

I continue stumbling on my journey.

In response to "New York"

Glad you went.

I can imagine it would be overwhelming for the senses. I live in quiet and will need to adjust next time I travel. I mostly live in silence and that's not in my forecast.

I'm a bit jealous. I've never been. But as a world traveler I concur with what you say. Enjoy being with your daughter.

In response to "Games of the 60's and 70's"

Yes, I remember jarts. We were careful. I didn't play marbles. I came to dislike Monopoly. Later I learned to dislike Risk.

I prefered card games. I played to win. Of course, I lost as well.

In response to " RoboCalls from Work"

I'd be pissed and demanding to be paid for answering the phone! I worked 11 pm - 7 am. I did NOT works days. I did NOT work evenings. I slept 8-4 and told friends not to call me unless the house was burning down. I literally could not work if I didn't have enough sleep.

Some at that time thought we should have rotating shifts. The night crew adamantly said NO. My opinion? Rotation is an abuse and so are many schedules for police and hospitals. I've worked both. You want a doc or a cop who's worked 16 hours straight to look after you?

The Lantern

The Lantern

Bear witness to the lantern’s flame, the beacon shall trumpet all by name
Kindred spirits shall be ignited, humanities torch shall be lighted
Of heart and soul, this radiant beacon, shall cause all hatred to weaken
Fueled by compassion and wisdom, the lighted orb seeks new vision
A glowing path of calm and reason, mankind’s united joyful season
Many voices lifted in harmony, kinship, the tool of golden armory
Of mind and spirit we all are one, the lantern shines for everyone
Vigilant is the cause illuminated, for all racism to be eliminated
Where darkness once resided, with lantern’s glow tranquility ignited
Guiding light to lands so cherished, love and hope shall ever flourish
Of all the stars in the heavens, compassion and truth the greatest of weapons
This Lantern’s embers, bold and bright, shall cast indifference aside
Kindled hearts shall blaze again, resilient flame of kindness reigns
Empathy, the resounding song shall serenade, as we celebrate a better fate
Benevolence and charity so embraced, tolerance and mercy by lantern graced
May the flame of dignity and respect, be the goodness and light we reflect
Bear witness to the lantern’s flame, the beacon shall trumpet all by name
