May God's blessing keep you always
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others
And let others do for you
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung
May you stay
Forever young
May you grow up to be righteous
May you grow up to be true
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you
May you always be courageous
Stand upright and be strong
And may you stay
Forever young
Forever young
Forever young
May you stay
Forever young
May your hands always be busy
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift
May your heart always be joyful
May your song always be sung
And may you stay
Forever young

catch 22

Trump petitioned the supreme
court to rule that as president
or ex president he has absolute
immunity from prosecution for
his role in the Jan 6 debacle.
If he looses, {as usual}, he'll
stand trial, but if the supreme
court agrees with him then, he's
free an clear.
Here's the catch 22 to trumps
reasoning. He isn't president and
if the supreme court gives the
president absolute power to
manipulate elections biden may
well just cancel the 2024 election
and the U.S. will have its first king.

A pinch of soul, with a whole
lot of sass . .
A sprinkle of naughty an just
enough class . .
The strength of a warrior and
a go-to-hell glare . .
A past that's not perfect, because
life isn't fair . .
A sailors mouth with a heart full
of love . .

The Invitation

It doesn’t interest me
what you do for a living.
I want to know
what you ache for
and if you dare to dream
of meeting your heart’s longing.
It doesn’t interest me
how old you are.
I want to know
if you will risk
looking like a fool
for love
for your dream
for the adventure of being alive.
It doesn’t interest me
what planets are
squaring your moon...
I want to know
if you have touched
the center of your own sorrow
if you have been opened
by life’s betrayals
or have become shriveled and closed
from fear of further pain.
I want to know
if you can sit with pain
mine or your own
without moving to hide it
or fade it
or fix it.
I want to know
if you can be with joy
mine or your own
if you can dance with wildness
and let the ecstasy fill you
to the tips of your fingers and toes
without cautioning us
to be careful
to be realistic
to remember the limitations
of being human.
It doesn’t interest me
if the story you are telling me
is true.
I want to know if you can
disappoint another
to be true to yourself.
If you can bear
the accusation of betrayal
and not betray your own soul.
If you can be faithless
and therefore trustworthy.
I want to know if you can see Beauty
even when it is not pretty
every day.
And if you can source your own life
from its presence.
I want to know
if you can live with failure
yours and mine
and still stand at the edge of the lake
and shout to the silver of the full moon,
“Yes.”
It doesn’t interest me
to know where you live
or how much money you have.
I want to know if you can get up
after the night of grief and despair
weary and bruised to the bone
and do what needs to be done
to feed the .
It doesn’t interest me
who you know
or how you came to be here.
I want to know if you will stand
in the center of the fire
with me
and not shrink back.
It doesn’t interest me
where or what or with whom
you have studied.
I want to know
what sustains you
from the inside
when all else falls away.

It's been sixteen days and the republicans
in congress refuse to support an insurrectionist
for speaker of the house.
They are receiving death threats but standing up
for the Democracy.

The kindness you show
other people is the rent
you pay, for the space you
take up on this earth . .

The Art Of Life

The art of life
lies in taking pleasures
as they pass . .
and the keenest pleasures
are seldom intellectual
or appropriate . .
nor are they always
legal
and rarely moral . .
but pleasures
between two hearts
are seldom judged
in the light of day . .
as being an activity
of darkness.
