Rancho Mirage ca

Post by creativesoul » December 11th, 2018, 12:39 pm

It is quite true
There is no sign
Of any ranch around here
Golf courses and doctors offices
Off of Bob hope and Frank Sinatra

Today they will be shooting me in the lumbar
With something that is supposed to make life
Not hurt
I had to agree to this insanity
My doctor will be surprisingly candid with her viewpoints
And I will disagree a bit
To let her feel she has made progress
Old hippies are not easy to convince

reason is over rated, as is logic and common sense-i much prefer the passions of a crazy old woman, cats and dogs and jungle foliage- tropic rain-and a defined sense of who brings the stars up at night and the sun up in the morning---

Sometimes I go to the appointment a day early
In eager anticipation or total fear

“Is the patient willing to have surgery?”
That is bold
I said” I dunno.. we don’t know what’s wrong yet!”
I wonder
About science and the stars
What happens when we die? I have had nothing but good experiences with death.
As I’m still here

when to trust the doctor
when to get a second opinion
when to get acupuncture
see a chiropractor ....a shaman
how about a witch doctor
maybe a naturalist
I'm skeptical about western medicine
that seems to like to peddle drugs
and cut people, but sometimes
it is
the right thing to do
good luck
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading

How did that go? Did it help your back pain? Hope so!

Doll, you may have found a place of rest but I'm still on the trail.

Yes ! I find myself laughing at times

I bought a plastic Jesus keychain
It doubles as a flashlight
I was outside in the dark.. fumbling with keys and it suddenly occurred to me
How do you turn him on; by faith
Laughing in the dark
Entertaining the light

The Rancho in the desert may have been a mirage in the first place, so yeah! Makes sense.
