Centuries pass. They grow wiser. Across the courtyard he whispers. His words drifting over the consecrated ground. She stands on the fault line listening. |

Gardenias in her hair in the morning. Silver dollar size. And later, night blooming jasmine. Midnight's sticky crown. "A blissful ascension, then," he laughs his immutable laugh. The raucous ravens spread their wings and ruffle their black and blue feathers. His mystery remains absolute. Her heart in his hand. His eyes surprised everyday the way the road changes. |

OVER THE LINE
I painted myself into a corner But footprints Are just about to become part of my design Now that I've found myself Over the line. And I cannot blame any body But myself Cause every single choice I ever made was mine And now I find myself A little outta line.
You see the signs A lovelight shines Between the lines A lovelight shines Between the lines
There's a lot of water under the bridges That are burning But It's a fact we can finally float or fly just fine But Baby don't get tangled In the bottom line.
Looking back into the darkness Will only Blind your mind and heart and feed you that same old line Come and we will cross The great divine
You see the signs A lovelight shines Between the lines A lovelight shines Between the lines

autumn leaves the trees all burning red winter gently lays her seeds to bed
but life remains a mystery
what does a forest have to do with you and me?

The Nightly Vigil...
Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing, only a signal shown, and a distant voice in the darkness; So on the ocean of life, we pass and speak one another, only a look and a voice, then darkness again and a silence.
~ Longfellow |

He gave me a bisquit, which I put in my pocket, and not daring to eat it, buried it under a log, fearing he had put something in it to make me love him.

I wish the sunlight finds you At your best and with good friends I wish the sunlight finds you On a road that never bends...
I wish the moonlight finds you When it's too dark to see your trail I wish the moonlight finds you With the wind still in your sail...
The rainbows and the gold are always there Sometimes they just don't catch our eye The trials and the storms must come first I guess I've always wondered why...
I wish the sunlight finds you Full of hope and full of cheer I wish the sunlight finds you With someone you hold dear...
I wish the moonlight finds you On the road that leads you home I wish the moonlight finds you When your heart ceases to roam...
The rainbows and the gold were always there Sometimes they just didn't catch our eye The trials and the storms must come first They're what teach us to try...
I wish the sunlight finds you...

We're back from Ensenada with two trucks full of Mexican angels. For the neighborhood Christmas party at Moonlight beach tonight. Pierced tin and papier mache. A life-size group of three in glitter-sprayed chicken wire and bits of chipped mirror. A "tourist" angel made of decoupage postcards and matchbook covers with gold graduation tassels for hair. Off Revolution in Tijuana we found a family fashioned from twisted coat hangers and fanned peacock feathers for wings. "Anything to declare?" the Border Patrol guy asked Mirella. I was behind her at the Check-Point and my heart sank when he waved her over to Secondary. "What did you tell him?" I asked her. "You don't wanna mess with these passengers 'cause they got more authority than you!" she said. "Out of the truck," officer Jesus Escobeda said. So we got to sit with our novelty halos and sunglasses on on the concrete barricade cooling our heels for half an hour. Mirella shrugged, "do we look like smugglers?" she asked me. "Of course we do!" I said, and started on my litany of "what ifs". "Hahaha," Mirella said, "it's your paranoid nature to look too much into things." |

They are waiting for a break in the weather. He consults the Almanac every day. Trees move outside their window. Back-and-forth. To-and-fro. The sea's unanswered question at the edge of the shore where before they put the boat out on the water. The fine, small boat. Hand-made by the carpenter who was their final neighbor. She sets the table. Warms the white cups. Arranges the old, folded headlines where his eyes and elbows will follow. His shadow crosses the floor. His Sunday morning eyes. He places the pages before her. Half blank. Half filled with notes for the long, uninterrupted journey. |

...Let us go back...2000 years. From the middle east...one Tribe. From northern Europe, another. They meet in what is now known as British Isles. They bring with them their music. It is the story of their people. It is the song of their Heros. It is a gift from their God. They conquer other tribes as they move across the land, all the while adding to their "BAND" new and exciting instruments. NEW SONGS. At some point they become one peoople with a (somewhat) common language. They leave Europe at some disputed time in the past and come to these shores. Many years later it is discovered that the purest English spoken on the planet is spoken in the Appalachian Mountain range. Why?... Because of their isolation. What is their song? Where did it come from?

In Which Johnny Depp and The Polar Bear Look For Neverland
When Ralph [[the Hudson River Polar Bear]] first met Johnny Depp, I thought, at first, he might faint... We were sitting in the back yard of the old Helen Hayes house in Nyack, with the broad expanse of green leading all the way down to the river.... Johnny said he had loved this place since he first saw it when Rosie O'Donnell owned it.... Said it was twenty miles from New York City, yet he could almost believe he was in the south of France, if there was a nip of Jameson's in his coffee... Ralph couldn't stop looking at him... [[Rev, he talks to me like I'm real, like you do... ]] It's the magic, Ralphie, the magic, me boyo, that let's, um, no...... Allows some of us to grow older, but never to grow up...... quite.... That's how that little boy from 21 Jump Street could become the boy in Bennie and Joon and What's Eating Gilbert Grape.... How he became Duke in Fear and Loathing and the guy in Blow and The Ninth Gate and how he played Johnny Depp playing Keith Richard[[s]] playing Captain Jack Sparrow to the hilt in Pirates of the Caribbean..... And how that little boy never grew up to play J M Barrie in Finding Neverland... [[Soooo much magic, Rev, it makes me cry...]] Oh, you big Mr Softee, come here and lay down on the grass before you get me started; Johnny's okay, he's talking to Hank, he'll bore him to tears in moments.... It occurs to me at this time of year, that there is a peculiar selectivity in our society when it comes to suspending disbelief... As children we're encouraged, no, sometimes even forced to believe in that fat old man flying reindeer and slipping down chimneys and doing the whole world in one night. After awhile, most children and many adults, seem to come to believe in this character as a part of their lives, past, present, and future, and there is really nothing wrong with that.... However, when it comes to suspending their disbelief in order to picture the Prince of Heaven coming to our land to establish a Kingdom on Earth, being born of a woman, becoming flesh and blood and giving his life to save ours, well, there seems to be a big problem.... In part, Knucklehead, it's just simple boredom: Jingle Bells is more Fun than O Holy Night; the elves are more Fun than the Angels...... Well,think about it buddyboy... There is no more Pure Fun than to have a spirit that can be in all places at once, that is faster than a locomotive and more powerful than a speeding bullet, living with you day to day as your buddy and pal like you and me; a spirit that is there for you when the chips are down and the taxman is knockin at your door... Just try to remember that when you're out there at the mall, or watching the Alabama Christmas Special for the fifth time.... That it's all really about Suspending Disbelief and experiencing the wonderful surprise of joy that happens when that spirit slips down your chimney and rents a room in your heart............. [[So, then, it's like Peter Pan? Like when you saw it when you were a kid and you thought you could fly if you really believed and you broke your leg jumping off of that balcony?]] Yeah, Ralphie, that's it, just like Pan and TinkerBelle and Hook and Smee and that Croc-with-the-clock.... Sorry, babyboy, i got preachy there for a minute...... C'mon, let's go talk to Johnny, maybe some of that magic will have rubbed off on the Hankster.... [[C'mon, it's Hank, Rev.......He'd have to have rubbed him alot.... ]]
" Peter Llewelyn Davies: It's just, I thought she'd always be here. J.M. Barrie: So did I. But in fact, she is, because she's on every page of your imagination. You'll always have her there. Always. Peter Llewelyn Davies: But why did she have to die? J.M. Barrie: I don't know, boy. When I think of your mother, I will always remember how happy she looked sitting there in the parlor watching a play about her family, about her boys that never grew up. She went to Neverland and you can visit her any time you like if you just go there yourself. Peter Llewelyn Davies: How? J.M. Barrie: By believing, Peter. Just believe....." [From Finding Neverland]
"Faith is when you get to the end of all the light you can see and are about to step into darkness.... Faith is knowing that the next step will give you something solid to stand on.... or you will learn to fly...." [Paraphrase ]

Melinda please forgive me For running you away I guess your face will haunt me For the rest of my todays
Melinda don't forget me Or the dreams that ran aground It didn't take until you left To know what I had found
Baby you are evrything I've always wanted in a friend It seems that I'm a drifter There's nothing to defend I hope that you'll remember The good I made you feel I hope that you'll forget The mistakes that never heal
Melinda please forgive me For running you away I was just too full of myself To get thru one last day
Melinda don't forget me Or the dreams that ran aground I'll spend a long long time Regretting what I'd found
Baby you are evrything I've always wanted in a friend It seems that I'm a drifter There's nothing to defend I hope that you'll remember The good I made you feel I hope that you'll forget The mistakes that never heal

"in love is an expensive place to die"
