Big Brother is Watching

Wherever you go, whatever you do

Big brother is always watching

There are times I can get addicted to Google Earth/Maps looking around for hidden treasures to explore.  Suddenly I find my own Forsakenly Departed Pickup in a large parking lot.  Rusty, dented and without a tailgate, yet she still gets me where I want to go and brings me back safely.

Who would think that the Google Maps Vehicle would drive through mall parking lots.

Like it or not we're always being watched!

Country Window

Sometimes you have to Square Up

And be Nice!

Abandoned JCP&L Substation

You're everything

I never knew

You're always wanted

And now that you're gone

I never knew what I had

She's Not Broken

She's not Broken

But still held Together

She still stands Tall

No matter the Weather

Those who pass By

They look the other Way

Ignoring Her

With nothing much to Say

When there's Trouble

In turmoil of Welter

Beside Themselves

They come seeking Shelter

She's not Broken

Yet looking so Tethered

Still Welcoming

No matter the Weather

Sheep Hill Observatory

The early morning mist was extremely heavy that the dew droplets instantly formed upon my beard.  Within a matter of a few minutes, the dense fog lifted above the trees.  A small rise in the woods opened up to reveal the Sheep Hill Observatory in Boonton, New Jersey.

Heaven's Wind

May the winds of Heaven

Blow softly through your hair

And whisper into you ear

For they are not with us

And far above up there

They still are beside you here

Choose the Right Track

Switching onto a new track can be very difficult.

Yet, at the same time it is difficult to remain on the same track.

One track is healthy as the other is deadly.

Choose the tracks that won't derail you.

Follow Your Bliss

Follow your Bliss

And open the door

It will lead you places

You never dreamed of

24 Hours Later

And just as it was 24 Hours Ago

The Path is Clear

The Sun is Shining

And Birds are Singing a Soulful Tune

Let it Snow

❄  ❅  ❄  ❅  ❄

And to think that this morning

The sun was shining bright

With Birds sing songs of joy!

Wake up Maggie

I think I got something to say to you

Ever get a song stuck in your head for the entire day?!

The Witching Hour

It was at that very moment at 3:15AM when Liza awoke to see it there standing in her bedroom doorway.  A heavy black mass manifesting as it was drifting nearer.  There was no escape for the only way out was the second floor side window that was much to high to leap out of without bouncing off the bay window's corse metal roof plummeting to the ground below.

Liza closed her eyes as the mass appeared to be demonic standing before her rattling the bed off the hardwood floor with a rumble that was heard throughout the entire house.  She screamed at the top of her lungs as her parents ran into the room only to be thrown out and slammed against the wall with an unknown force.  Within a second everything stopped without any signs of anything happening.  The entire family left minutes later leaving everything behind.

From that moment on, no one has reentered the house in fear of something demonic might appear.  Yet, if you pass by any given night at the precise time of 3:15AM, you will see the drapes pulled back in the upper side window with a woman dressed in red looking out at you.

Happy Valentine's Day

An old photograph found in a box tells a tale of someone being humorous.  I don't know who this is, where the location was or when it was taken.  The only one who would have known the person in this photograph has now unfortunately passed on over ten years ago.

In any event, this photograph holds a distinct quality that can never be reproduced.

John Courage On Tap

When you're Tapped Out

And there's no Courage

Go to the John

A Lawyer

When a Lawyer has gone Home

And the children are in Bed

A stiff drink is mixed and Poured

That will soon go to his Head

He kicks of his leather Shoes

And stretches out on the Couch

He then rolls up one or Two

From his secret velvet Pouch

He dozes through Neverland

After an hour or Two

Dreams of the evil People

That will hire him to Sue

He wakes up in a cold Sweat

As he looks around in Gloom

Panting and gasping for Air

Thinking he's in a Courtroom

He looks down into his Glass

With nothing left but a Sip

Lifts it with little Effort

And holds it with a tight Grip

He gets off the worn out Couch

And begins to undo his Tie

Realizing that he has been

Living his life as a Lie

When a Lawyer has gone Home

And the children are in Bed

A stiff drink is mixed and Poured

Drinks it wishing he were Dead

Be Fearless

It is to be Fearless

When pursuing what truly sets your Soul on Fire

The Blacksmith

The soot of Pennsylvania's finest Anthracite fills the air as it burns in a hot stone constructed oven.  The sound of glowing wrought iron clangs onto the horn of an anvil as a heavy hammer pounds down forming horseshoes for the Plowman that sows corn in the village.

A dying art that little know today as the Blacksmith is one in a few that is still willing to rise and shine early in the morning only to get his hands dirty.

Prometheus

 Prometheus (aka: The Hellenic Lucifer)

He was a Titan God who was given a duty of moulding mankind out of clay.  This was only to better the lives of his creation that brought him conflict Zeus (Sky & Thunder God and ruler of all Olympian Gods).  First and foremost was that Prometheus tricked the Gods out of the most enjoyable portion of the Sacrificial Feast in order to obtain the meat for the feasting of man.

At this point Zeus ordered the creation of Pandora (First Woman) to deliver misfortune into all mankind's homes and/or deprive mankind from having the company of good spirits.  This was the punishment for Prometheus as he was arrested and bound to the stake on Mount Kaukasos (Caucasus) where an Eagle was allegedly lured to feed upon his forever regenerating liver or heart.

After many generations have passed, Herakles (Heracles the Great Hero) arrived and released the agonizing Prometheus from his torture.

Abandoned Seat

We sit and think of what Was

We sit and think of what will Be

We sit and think Until

There's nothing left but Junk

We sit and think about Yesterday

We sit and think about Tomorrow

We sit and think Until

There's nothing we ain't Thunk

Back Against the Wall

When your back is up against the wall

There is only one direction to go
