2012 in review

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

600 people reached the top of Mt. Everest in 2012. This blog got about 4,100 views in 2012. If every person who reached the top of Mt. Everest viewed this blog, it would have taken 7 years to get that many views.

LOOK, I’LL TELL IT LIKE IT IS

The Tomato-coloured Couch 7:00pm

A Song Came On The Radio

@ 2:22 Today, an appointed time

apres circuitous counter-clockwise route

around Sobey’s Emergency Cart Corral

It was a song from HIM (Lady Gaga HIM)

“She’s So High Above Me”

& instead of making Me burst into tears

(as I did Thirty Years Ago when presented

with a dozen white roses by a bartender who left)

It made Me Smile

(in the privacy of My Car)

& Now I Have A Song

SAFE

The Hawk Hallway 7:50pm

Is That Child Gone?

The One Who Sat Cross-legged

in Her Kindergarten’s Hallway

unwindowed

practising for a bombing

with Her Head in Her lap?

–

Is She Gone Now, Married

to Her Second Husband, Her Well-loved Doctor

with The Assault on Her Marriage

of A Second Doctor

She feels forced to turn to for eternal preparedness

Practice?

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE THIS WORLD?

The Tomato-coloured Couch 3:45pm

We’re Not Sick

We’re misguided, falsely & uselessly labelled

We’ve come as far as We can go

in Today’s Society

We’ve got to go back —

resurrect ancient systems, global, financial, medical, social

which are proven to work in Their Times

Globalize Our History

We cannot rely on Aliens

to Show Us The Future

There Is NO Future —

There Is Only Now

Our Greatest Wealth

is what Makes Us:

Our Humanity

We cannot even rely on God —

God is ambiguous

It Is Our Person-hood — Our Innate Intelligence

Our Individuality

We Know Best

We zzzzzzzzzmust rely

on uzzzzzzzz

to

  SAVE US NOW

before ITZZZZZZZZZ toooooooooo LLLLLLLLATE

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A PARENT?

It means to love your children unconditionally and not to give in to manipulation and power plays, on their part or yours.  It also means to tell the truth when asked, and not answer with a distorted or mythical pretence. A child’s imagination is beguiling, but a parent’s fear of the truth can be confusing or even dangerous.

SIGNAL

The Tomato-coloured Couch 5:10pm

A Silver Star-spark just crossed My View

as I sat at the computer screen

— passed across My Field of Vision

diagonally from left to right

trailing a dark path

alerting Me

to read

“God Has Called Them All Home”
