IF
IF you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you believe that man will never doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too, If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, And eat the same old food each and every day, And never fight with those that love you, And never get offended by what they say;
If you can fall asleep whenever you fancy; If you can think – and not make thoughts your aim; If you’re familiar with Triumph but not Disaster And treat all those that meet you just the same; If you can go for days More >

Japan – one week
—–
Only one week Seven days for man. Nothing makes sense any more It’s become impossible to plan. So many calamities, so much pain, If God has deserted us Who’s left then to blame. —– A threat of a meltdown, That we didn’t foresee A monstrous wave Coming out of the sea A quake like no other A Devastates of man. A nasty Cessation Returns us to where it all began.

You can’t count on anything Except hatred and death. You can’t plan tomorrow Or even your next breath. Another new born baby Buried in a puddle of blood Makes you halt, stop and wonder What lays beyond an ocean of mud.

Japan – Speechless
There have been only a few times when I have found myself having nothing to say.
Family tragedies and events like September 11th come to mind immediately.
A disaster of a magnitude that has befallen the Japanese people, the same people who are still recovering from Hiroshima, is something that no words can truly capture.
Our hearts and prayers are with this great courageous nation.
I saw this tremendous painting of a tsunami, many years ago, and was captivated by its beauty. I never really understood what tthe painter, Hokusai Kanagawa, was portraying. I do now.

The lighter side of death
Susan Jane McCoy was a righteous and graceful eighty five year old lady who was spending the last of her days at the St Mary Retirement home in southern New Jersey. One fine morning she requested to speak to the local priest.
“Father”, she said in a broken, worn out voice “I feel that my time is drawing near and I have two requests.”
“Mrs. McCoy, you have been a faithful member of our community for several generations, I promise you I will try to fulfill your requests.”
“Thank you father, firstly, when I die I want to be cremated. and second More >
Adele 21 – album review
For those of you who are loyal followers of my blog, the fact that I am reviewing the new Adele album should come as no surprise. When I first got my hands on 19, Adele’s first album, I was overwhelmed and my post reflected my enthusiasm.
After two years of strained anticipation, waiting to see if success and the second album syndrome would take it’s toll, Adele’s follow-up is finally here. Cutely named 21 (I wonder how long she will continue that idea), the question is does it fulfill my expectations. The answer is yes and no. Is the album good? After a couple More >
