Don’t test it too often.

Saying you Love someone is good and right. A significant commitment like that is often tested. So unless you have made it trite by using it on cake 🍰 recipes it may be wise to rely on sweet nothings so as to spare the object of your warmth from many tests.

Just show it by your actions, you may not challenge as many provocations as those who the test.

It is probably also true that some things may be out of the scope of saying you should not count them frivolous, that may be golf, apple pie, and the American dream.

Also, you may get yourself in someone’s ire by making lists of things that may exclude someone’s passions.

To say don’t put your foot 👣 in your mouth 👄 could offend sword ⚔️ swallowers. Raspberry Raspberry 😴

And finally always accept it when someone is willing to let you off the hook, no matter the vernacular. But pardon is reserved for the most serious tone.

Got it? You are ahead of me if you have. KDG

You are here in with us.
Why so much to take to fuss.
 You were born, our consent.
What is owed is lost on balance.

You need not think so less. Not approved makes no sense. All in all its your ride, less fence. Happy remains in your grasp. Like summers rain on mowed grass. I's yours alone to spend: and buy . KDG

 The pale din of dawn calling, calling, calling wake little flowers, wake you grasses, wake forest, come to life and consume. Then  I looked full in the face, I'm the dear little plants. Never full, never full, never full, never, never full as they drank the morning dew. 

We…

The rays of light did cascade about the green controlling,  driven to the air, I please.  Pleased by dioxide that I gave without thought or repose. Then with claim, I, did propose to hold my breath. I'm just concerned at the beauty of the garden prey,  they insulted me by thinking poor of my creature self. Not near, so beauty as their garden roe!  As I held my breath I did see the fade of sweet still bright. Dark did develop about petal, I poi.  I had them where I should know fade, deserve wood, come. The insult claimed, aits just results...  But wait the darkened face is not on them, it's on me.  That upstart plant projected its guilt and shame to me. With a puff of stuff, I'll let go of my breath, to feed the creature its oxide brew.   Clear the air, and cancel the fate of their wretched beauty.  Carbon is theirs for their take. The projection, it's no longer to make my soul to ache.  It belongs to their snide beauty, for to hide.

Happy My Way Day…

Editors Note: the Nicola naturalist meeting for tonight is postponed until March due to risk.

Today is My Way Day, the day when everyone gets their way. or try’s ( between drying their eyes).

If you can see at all, see it my way.

Then in the din of reality bent, be happy.

The day will pass and your conversion won’t last.

Because my way is still my way and not your way, I Plead.

So if you have a high horse, then make the most of the Stead.

And jump to the next link to my way being, your way.

TGIF- Truth, Happy 2022…

Truth

To tell the truth you need no sleuth.


Just your feeling of what is right, with no fight.


Keep it short, it will not retort.


File it tight, along with right.

For the day when it grows and gives its fruit.
Pain or gain need not explain, past sight.
A witness will rise and help its harvest, without flight.
In the range of sense and never behind the dreaded fence.

And all will see its virtue till, the fertile ground that never dies.
Because we loved and waited for our time, and gave its power its due.
And the truth is, we will love through all, and even death will lower its fee.
And I and we both will see.

The fence that calls to hide and keep the energy you paid.
To call into life and give it wheels, and let it shine, as said.
You must then give it up, and let it fly and land where it will.
And its peace, not its strife, is neither bought nor borrowed but stays still.

KDG

To all those that overcame the infatuation and brain chemicals of new experience and went on to commitment and truth; Happy 2022!

I Know

You can not win a fair maiden with a faint heart! Nor can you win her with this quote!!

When I met you I started to whittle a lance! Hard wood and dull knife later, we pause.
To note that there was no shortage of worthy rivals to provoke.
 So, quote: if then you wait by the river long enough,  you will see your enemies  bodies float by.
  But I am not unnerved by seeing them with their smiles. 
A moment lost is a moment lost, without reply.   Philosophy a poor comfort to wrest.

The fact that you are more then the Rut, a mind worthy to test. With a high value put on the destiny of your thoughts, consent.
And never, a moment spent on frivolity and puss.
I will always stay my drive to see you, unless in the right. And judge it tight, a valor to you.
 With out a ruddy fight.

TGIF- Friday the 13th, lost its charm!

You do not have to be afraid of Friday the 13th, why? Because its lost its charm to the fear of the unknown and gained by the liberty of the experienced and the prowess of the wise. Superstition is done, cause and effect is 98 percent explained. That leaves 2 percent for me ( how to win the heart of a fair lady) can someone explain in 3 paragraphs or less. That would end all wondering about phenomena.

Sometimes known as date night Fridays must be excused from the 13th’s energy and success with the smarter gender still needs a real world reason; or not. Who can explain love? No sensei trying unless maybe a wise God has given us a scientific control. But that can’t be ,as love is not an experiment , it is a power.

However in the clinical sense they have terms: Love sick, , Love struck, Amour de la malade and any other that might fit symptoms of that funny feeling! If indeed the term lucky in love should retain its meaning then what? Well lets bar Friday the 13th by statute, as superstition!

Good luck to you and to blazes with superstition and bad luck: click below for playlist.

Norway and Sweden split.

August art show…

A second of time.

A song of regret and redemption!

Long ago in my crass,  I  sensed  challenge  to my zone.
 Yes some one's area was not my own.
Territory for me was a right of way. 
Move over or face the sway.

Cheap and bland was my stand.
Your share of mind is  more then land.
Its a dumb argument I can work.
To cause delay and stoop to lurk.

Make you prove because it is   yours. 
Give row to me,  my due of  you.
Just because I can;  see my retort!
You want to share, and get support,

Challenge is what came around.
A loss of energy to confound
Could have been spent in sweet love.
A magnet of charm, a white glove.

To soon old to late wise, give it back my reprise.
No not accounts, but radiant life; a moment back.
Only you can deliver me from this shame.
My ego, I promise; will I  tame.

Just because you have it to give, make it so.
No cost to either, to keep this  inner flow.
 Eternal joy between you and me, no hurt.
It's what I missed, in a second of time; with my blurt!

All my love to redeem. KDG

First Electric traffic light.

Stop go wait!

Happy National Poetry day…

Along a short the horn blew,
tomorrow is near to be clear.
One more day you have spent,
not able or sure to repent.
Closer ever closer the bitter stuff,
lost time to regret and never forget.
Permanent pose is your life ,
no mercy in past stance to give.
Buck up my friend the horn looks waiting,
closing on que and thinking of you.
