    … and the saguaro are in full bloom, this red tail hawk is perched at the top of one and surveying the land hunting for his daily meal and the Arizona sky is beautiful with its own special shade of blue.

    With little regard for the foibles of the human species on planet earth, all creatures go about their daily lives unencumbered by naught but living their lives for the day and unconcerned as to whether their cholesterol levels are high or if certain foods are good or bad for them. Instinctively they know what foods are good for them … longevity is a concept that is not in their vocabulary … they live until they do not and whilst among the living, they live; setting an example for us.

    Sometimes at days end, a sky will appear that is absolutely and outrageously beautiful … a sky the likes of which will never happen again. A couple of nights ago I was visiting with a friend in the backyard and the sky began to light up …. clouds formed incredible patterns, ablaze in color. I crossed the cart path to get this photo from the tee box. It reminded me of a night a few days after Corky had passed … I was walking the golf course and the sky lit up like this, but more so and it spread over 360 degrees … in my mind I heard her voice saying “Look what I can do now.” Love like a beautiful scene, never fades or goes away … it is forever and as we told each other, forever after that!

    Our home (part of it) is below this fantastical sky … look what I can enjoy now, thanks Cork … live your life in the present … it is a gift and only lasts a moment at a time.

    Into another beautiful day and week. Share the joy in your life and smile … you are here!

    Cheers,

    Ted

    Give me to gladly go
    My way, and say
    No word of mine own woe;
    But let me smile each day.
     
    Give me the strength to do
    My task, I ask;
    And that I shall not rue
    The toiler’s grimy mask.
     
    Give one loved hand to me,
    And leave the eve
    All undisturbed as we
    Our strength of souls retrieve.
     
    And lastly give sweet sleep
    Closed sight, no fright
    That fears will o’er me creep;
    And now a last good night.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
