Breathe deeply and appreciate the moment.

like the sign says…

Cut out from a package we got in the mail, so I guess it’s supposed to mean something, probably for a reason, and probably not worth the cosmic, karmic, implications of ignoring.

Looking at the photo, it appears slightly askew.  Blame the photographer and blame the eggnog.  Regardless, Merry Christmas to all and I hope this season finds my gentle reader living a life filled with much peace and love.

Sunday Morning Ramble

Here comes the sun...

here comes the sun…

Raised Catholic, my parents made me go to Mass until the age of thirteen, which I think was about when I had Confirmation.  A dear friend of mine raised Catholic as well, always talks about the “ethnicity” of our faith.  “Being Catholic,” she says”, is in your blood, inescapable, and unalterable.”

Nevertheless, this Sunday, like most, finds me out conducting my chores, freeing chickens, looking in on horses, and strolling toward that wonderful reward, the Sunday paper.

Off we go then...

off we go then…

Now, where I live, the Sunday paper is a mere trifle, inconsequential fluff.  Since it is no New York Times, I can be done with it in five minutes or so, leaving me plenty of time to contemplate further chores…

Recent Background Noise

Perhaps my ennui stems from David Bowie's death. I read somewhere that we should consider ourselves lucky to have lived at the same time he did. I do. Many years ago, there was a girl in my secondary school, Debbie P., who was very hip, very groovy, and very pretty. Now I attended Catholic schools and so, as you might imagine, we had to wear uniforms, except, of course, for after-school activity, and that's where I get to the point of the story. Our school was putting on its big play of the year, I had a small part, Debbie was working backstage. One evening during rehearsal she showed up wearing a Ziggy Stardust tee-shirt. I was young, naive, not hip, not groovy, and not knowing who the ambiguous Ziggy might be. During the weekend that followed that rehearsal, I went to a record store and discovered just what David Bowie was all about. It was a transforming experience. Now some forty years later, I farm, David is dead, and Debbie is into Christian rock bands. Did I say ennui...
