I love this...beautifully poetic inspiration......with the headphones I could make out a facsimile of your voice, but more important hear the cadence and inflection.....an excellent addition to your project...

incredible joy at not knowing what's next in the light of recent events
understatements r me.
in between now and then
but who has time for that
hazy lazy days spent on the computer
rained all day today. And I feel like a shut-in with out a home
who has time enough for experience?
grist for a writers mill
Come Back to Us Barbara Lewis Hare Krishna Beauregard - John Prine]
quirky links and off topic thoughts germane to twists and zags and hazy days of war
it used to drive me thinking stinking crazy about why you felt you had to be there.
Finally I adapted to the fact that everybody has to have a home
a home of the brave and free
War is not hell
Hawkeye: War isn’t Hell. War is war, and Hell is Hell. And of the two, war is a lot worse
The g-d of my mothers and fathers before me is
a Realtor™ who shoot craps with the universe.
were we not wonderfully made/
It is all holy land to me, all of it, the whole big blue ball floating though space-time
religious wars, peoples wars are the Worstest'
look at us after all we been through leaning on each other
