    … I spent the evening listening to the sound track from the movie Jonathan Livingston Seagull … loved the movie when it first came out and no great surprise the composer and performer of the music is my number one favorite singer … Neil Diamond. It is inspirational, a journey of discovery and the visual combined with the music is amazing. Need to watch it again.

    So the photo above could well be a descendant of Jonathan Livingston Seagull … it was fun watching him in flight … day dreaming about him and our own journeys.

    The White Pelican below was just entering flight when I took the shot and they too are a pleasure to watch as they take to the sky and wheel about working thermals that take them ever higher and with nine foot wingspans it is a sight to behold. One day down at the lake during the migration there were close to a hundred of them circling and climbing out overhead … what a beautiful planet we live on.

    The poem by Max, tonight, is one that has been a long time favorite as it describes the beauty of a couple that has shared a life time in love with each other.

    Into the weekend for me … have a wonderful day and fill each day you are here with beauty … it is your choice and no one else’s. Back on Monday.

    With joy!

    Ted

    I thought I lived with you beneath a sun
    Whose golden rays ne’er left the deep blue sky,
    But shone and shone where rolling meadows lie
    With dew as when the day had just begun,
    And danced in leafy vales where waters run
    And where the sweet brook’s murmurs never die,
    And on the mountain peak’s so still and high
    Which all but fearless strong-winged birds must shun.
    I thought that time went sweet and soft and slow,
    And left no marks save those of gentleness
    That bound you to my life with strong caress;
    And you saw naught but all my soul’s deep truth,
    No fading bloom, nor form the years bent low,
    But ever still the beauty of my youth.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
