No New Year's Resolutions for Me
Written on 8:15 PM by Jack B.
As we come to the end of another year I have "resolved" not to make any resolutions for the upcoming year. Every time I have done so in the past I end up not accomplishing anything. I don't know why that is, but IT IS. So, for 2012, I'll just let things come as they come and meet it as it happens, and if so was up planning anything, I will not call it a "goal, nor a "resolution", but just a "plan" - something that needs to be done, that I actually take measures to make happen (instead of just resolving to do it). Words matter, even subconsciously.
Happy New Year!

What do we give thanks
Health, food on the plate, shelter
Or just peace of mind

Nailed high on the cross
One last breath; gave up the Ghost
The rest is silence

More time is needed
To make fresh supply of oil
Can light last longer?

Happy New Year's Eve! Bye, Bye '06! Don't Let the Door Hit You on the Way Out!
Written on 7:51 PM by Jack B.
I hope everyone celebrates the coming new year in style (don't drink too much though - I'll do that for both of us *Ha, Ha*) and has a wonderful 2007!
And a Happy Eid to Muslims everywhere as well.

A Happy and Joyous Christmas to Everyone!
Written on 2:22 PM by Jack B.
How long has it been
Who knows the true date
When a child was born
That would change the world’s fate
No room at the inn
In old Bethlehem
For good carpenter, Joseph
And his wife, Miriyam
In a manger
Where animals once lay
Was born the babe
On that unknown day
It is said only shepherds heard
The angels thanksgiving song
And went to see the baby
Taking their flocks along
2000 years since then
Around the winter solstice
Comes a day especially chosen
And they called it Christmas
But is it really Christmas?
Or was it yesterday?
Does it really matter?
Who’s to say?
Live life to the fullest and...
Have a very Happy, Holy Day!
*please forgive my crude drawing of the Virgin with Child - obviously art was never my best subject
