Season of Emmanuel

Being down hearted is hard. So lighten up those hearts and be glad! easy to say. hard to do.

more excerpts from my newest novel:

It will be cold. He'll make it all the way there by 9:30, where it is warm. And the rich tourist skiers will be buying him beers. And maybe one will bring him back home at the end of it all so he won't have to walk all the way back in the cold and the way that the sky will look dropping down, the mountain out there through the blizzard, the howl of the eddying winds, the dropping of two inches an hour. hour after hour.

But that will be later, in a few hours. And he won't talk to anyone there because the music is always too loud. And he can sneak down into the condos if someone lets him go back with them. And maybe there will be a buffet? Or those little sandwiches. Maybe they have those tiny sandwiches. Endives on a cracker and some cheese. tiny muffins? He could use some tiny muffins.

I've done some covers which are selling on ebay. Hurray!

  Less is more.

~ OK Now.

   That pony 
   was free to roam
  where it was safe
  and far from home
     or close by the window
 feeding her apples
    she drinks from a bottle
   she doesn't
     fret or neigh
  she's my darling
     pony
  on this
 Christmas Day.


 
here is a song fragment:
 
                      All your old
   letters you wrote
 when you were done 
    drinking your note
 and I sought
    the things you forgot
 to remind you
    that it's
  praiseworthy on
      this day
 to say
      Praise God!
   Praise
       God
    For His
    Unfailing
   Love!
  Praise God!
 

  Rumi Moon
   Sing me a song
  of happy happy
   Egypt
  at peace
  








Wake up!

The solution to bad governance is
