The roar of the crowd
The smell of the greasepaint
Always signaled to me
The arrival of the circus
Wringling Brothers
Barnum and Bailey
May have folded
Their tents
But the Clown Show in Washington
Goes on just as intense.

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!
Love Love Love
The Love You Make is Equal to the Love You Give
The Shadow Knows
Pin Ball Wizard
Long Shadows
Who Knows What Lurks in the Hearts of Man?
Give Me Liberty!
Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me:
I lift my lamp beside the golden door.”
RESIST
Word of the day: Resist
Protesters at a Rally for American Values in Louisville, Kentucky
Protesters at the Muhammad Ali Center in Louisville, Kentucky
Greg Fisher, Mayor of Louisville, Kentucky, gave a speech in support of immigrants and refugees, but stopped short of declaring Louisville to be a sanctuary city.
The Bamboo
The Bamboo planted
on the bank of the river
calms my restless soul.

THE CROSSING
“Things separate from their stories have no meaning. They are only shapes.”
― Cormac McCarthy, The Crossing
THE PATH
Ezekiel 25:17
The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
NUTCRACKER
Once upon a time in a land far away
In the country of New Jersey
I endeavored to to take my Jersey wife to the ballet.
We also took along my mother-in-law for the ride
Whom I deemed Mother Nature
And we crossed the river to the Philly side.
And there for one brief shining moment
There were two ball busters at the Nutcracker.
Snow Queen
Sleeping Beauty
It was a fairy tale romance…..
