The Party of Lincoln

Honest, Abe, did you ever expect this?

What did you stash under that hat?

Were you the President of ideological and partisan politics?

Were you the first to preach to the choir, to the Amen corner?

Did Washington fill up with so many NO's under your watch? 

Are you sure you were a Republican?

Does light come from within a blossom or from around it?

be the judge

be the decider

be the engaged observer

be the explorer

let your curiosity get the best of you

eureka 

What's up with Mexico?

It's a mystery to me...

so relax and enjoy the surfing girls

or sit seaside and absorb the negative ions

and certainly drink a Pina Colada made from local fruit

as the sun sets over the western ocean

all will be well, tomorrow

Not you're ordinary Mom and Pop bottleshop

unless they also sell flowers

or perhaps sell objects d'art

or strictly Kosher products

or "how to make a cocktail" books

or stock the shelves with after dinner chocolates

L'chaim

The orbits of the earth

the map might just be the territory

it's such a small world

it began and it will end - makes us humble, generous and respectful or makes us greedy

i thank my lucky stars for time, space and gravity

my bags are packed, i'm ready to go

The rainy season

Blessed are the rains that replenish the earth.

Blessed are the heavens that open when heavy with wetness.

Blessed are the fountains, the springs and wells, 

the tributaries and the oceans.

Blessed is the planet's life blood.

 Blessed are those who bless the falling rain.

A diamond in the rough

but is he kind, gentle, respectful and loyal?

is she loving, nurturing, creative and determined?

is he calm, caring, devoted and stabile? 

can you see her spark and sparkle?

is he serious, mature and balanced?

i sure hope so

Long gone - restoring and replenishing my Juices

NOT with the juice of the poppy

NOT with the fermentation of grapes or rice

and NOT with cafine 

NOT with Pale Ale

but with wierd stuff

So, I am back stranger than ever

All you need is…

Some love

Some time

Some life sustaining elixirs 

Some significant insights

Some sparkling distractions

And there you have it

And the Painted Ponies Go Up and Down
