"The (light the night) Dream"

As darkness enters, she seeks every beam of light,
And chases dreams - and stars, of rays sublime.
Which shine thru silken folds - the robe of night,
Draped like a veil, to surround her sacred shrine.

When day dawns, she breathes-in a meadow's sweet,
Tempted, she lingers within her house of grays 'n clay,
But o'r the threshold slumber passes, the Sun to meet.
To throw-open shutters, arisen - letting-in the day.

The darkest mornings - oft weighted by grief or cares,
Await - many a dulled desire, a wish, a foolish whim.
Some bend o’er her shoulders, she reveals those wares,
Upon an unwashed table - or window-sill, just as dim.

She looks back at time, through fixated eyes...
Which ne'r gazed upon as many moonlit flowers.
Amid forgotten deeds or long-silent, sullen cries...
Counting-out a tin-silver tale - of the waning hours.

Above her shrine of life, no curtain fell,
For a good man may enter, the unlocked gate.
Tho' only one may find refuge inside those walls,
A tenuous prison - of lost loves, or new-found hate.

Twilight returns and subdues her lonesome abode,
Again, she barred the door, latched shutters fast,
She scurried down her shadowy, forlorn road,
To sleep - another celestial dream, alone - at last!

"The reign of deceit..."

All who engage a "flight from truth", embrace a "reign of deceit".

"A burn in Hell?"

Wouldn't this poor ol' world be a - BETTER PLACE - if we didn't have to put up with the folks who are, "Hell-bent on bending all things Heavenly - into something more akin to a burn in Hell"?

Doing "the right thing"!

Let's talk about doing "the right thing". Initiative is doing "T.R.T." without being told. Standing by the truth is doing TRT (always, the right thing). Preserve the lands and the seas, and all forms of life - deep inside, individually, we know that such will always be a doing of TRT. Doing TRT for your child shouldn't require pain and soul-searching, it requires doing. If we're going to do it (whatever "it" is), let us do TRT. Nobody really thinks that they're evil or bad, they think that they're - doing TRT. By opposing GMO's (an ethical and environmental decision) we decide to do TRT. Do TRT, but the most important thing - is to let people know, you are doing TRT. By doing TRT, at the right time, at the right place - when people truly need help - is also for the right reason. Ethics are not necessarily aligned with being law-abiding - the moral path, is doing TRT. Most people don't intend to cause harm - they do harm by doing TRT (in their mind only). Doing TRT for someone else is like a tonic - a magic ointment that makes a wound disappear. Real integrity is doing TRT, knowing (also) that nobody is going to know whether you did it or not. Doing TRT for (American born) immigrants, is to provide a chance to live and work - free from the fear (of deportation). When people just sit around talking about, "Peace" - (instead of) doing TRT - men, women and children are going to die. Eating healthy, is doing TRT for one's body. And it's not something a body has to do 365 days a year, but that one does 28-31 days per month. Character: is doing TRT when nobody's looking. Doing "the right thing" (TRT) has power. Do TRT every day of your life! Not everyone will like you for doing it.

Health + Care!

When ill-health or failing health is transformed into a profitable opportunity (i.e. a self-vested interest, "for" the "health-care" provider): we can be certain that they will "provide" sore little prevention, few cures, non-"health" and even less - "care".

[ I favor a NATIONAL HEALTH CARE system modeled after the network that has been implemented in Switzerland (not the abberations being tossed about by US party politics). Moreover, I oppose ALL "for profit" healthcare businesses (yes, all of them). ] Pls post your thoughts in "Comments". Click-on "Like" if you agree that present Amercan Healthcare strategies, are ALL on the WRONG track!

"Our First" (kiss)...

"Our First"

Were our floodgates to open - were we to surrender all will to the body ...were we to find ourselves in each other's arms - fueling the fires of passion: (kiss upon kiss ...impetuous, so eager).

Might I love the smooth of thy lips and the way they fall upon mine? Would we embrace and lose all track of time? (Would every touch ...be a taste of love?)

The wanting sends a shiver down my spine (so intense is this) ...a caress so tender, as I repose my hand and heart upon thy body: (a union that makes you quiver and yearn for each next touch).

Might I love thy supple lips and the way they converge upon mine? And would we wish to join as one and lose all track of time? (Would every taste ...be the touch of love?)

 -ooOoo-

'Tis a dream of lilac and lavender, Spring showers and Summer rains... Melodies growing and blooming, to become a field of flowers or a shaft of grain. (Fragrant, vibrant, intertwined.)

Eyes searching souls, Souls searching eyes. Our lips almost met. (At last ...but wait!) Am I wandering? I can't think it (nor wish to try). For I am already kissing you - in my mind's eye. (I desire more though - for our new bond means so much.)

Think not, but follow our hearts - not as mere friends in a quiet room. Our lips almost met again. (We quickly understood that we could never survive a second kiss.)

 -ooOoo-

Once alone, I would want to make love with you - then again, and again! Tempted I would lean, a little - Tempted you would lean, a little. (And we would hear a long silence.)  Is it done?

'Twas moist, warm, sensual, soft, and sweet ...just what we wanted! (We could hear the beating of our hearts - as we listened to a longer silence.)  A blessed occurrence. 

Our first kiss!

"Moi" {explained}.

"If one does not begin by showing one's self to be something of an independent, forward thinker - one quickly becomes something of a foregone conclusion."  N'est-ce pas? 

And you may quote me...

Beat the Heat!

Holy moly, what's wit' this sultry heat?
Gimme a Sping-like day or a cool treat!
Rather Winter's snows, n' slabs o' ice?
Move to Alaska? (Cain't afford the price!)

Go ahead, there 're Kilo-Watts to burn...
(Sweaty-sticky makes m' body squim!)
The therm-o-stat's set t' seventy-eight.
(An empty wallet can definitely relate!)

But when blizzards' bite and sleets do come,
Some of us will be feelin' kinda duh dumb.
'Cause what we'd wished for (a sure bet),
Is a thing we'll most-likely (later) regret!

Whether, you're in swimmin' or off mowin'...
Whether, gone campin' or a' fishing goin'...
'T would sure be neat!
To beat this frickin' heat!

"Rain Rain"

When always raining,
Folks end-up saying,
Go away!

No pouring rain,
Brings farm-field pain,
Come today!

Each rain-drop playing.
Every drizzle staying.
Making hay!

"Firefly"

As you trace your way, by thy tiny light.
It takes your all, to glow and mark it bright.
Soaring, blinking - gone by sunrise' sight.
Gliding, winking - to fly fire each night.

Copyright ©2011 - Robert C. Kuhmann - All Rights Reserved, and dedicated to every child - who has chased, captured, admired the wonder of, and released fireflies - on any sultry Summer evening.

Both at the SAME time?

Be profoundly thoughtful, be also kind - for, one who VALUES nothing and no one, cannot be BOTH nor EITHER - at the same time.
Me Thinks

At gunpoint!

A short-list of things that the government can (and will) force you to do ...at gunpoint. 

• taxpaying
• zoning
• speed limits
• vehicle inspection
• vehicle registration
• protest in "free speech" zones
• building codes
• surrender your house under eminient domain

And that's just for starters. Every single rule and regulation which has been instituted by our government is  backed-up by Local, State, Federal police and Agents. They enforce their will at the barrel-end of a gun. If you continually decline to do precisely what the Local, State, and Federal government has decreed, then you will eventually find yourself looking down the barrel of a gun.
 
Count on it. 

Not Common? Not Sense?

Take your "pick" of almost any topic: Common Sense is not so common anymore.

Take care of you...

None will improve your lot - if you yourself, do not...

Succcess vs Failure?

Ever notice how SUCCESS tends to occur - in private, whereas FAILURE  - the non-event, takes place in full-view?

Politicians lie!

A Democrat, a Republican, and a giraffe go into a bar. After many drinks, the giraffe passes-out on the floor. The bartender (having seen everything before) looks-up from his newspaper and asks, "What's that lyin' on the floor?" The Republican replies, "He's with the Democrat." The Democrat replies, "He's with the Republican." The giraffe (still conscious) mumbles, "I'm not a lion, I'm a giraffe." Moral of the story? Don't ask a politician about lying, ask a Giraffe.

A good way to begin 2011 ?

Kick the DRAMA out!

In life, there comes a time, when a person must walk away from all the drama ...and the people who create it. Unfortunately, too often - the people who don't treat you right, are the ones who need you all the more - but many don't realize that fact; others won't ever admit to it. It's likely that those "who need you", are also the ones who will never "get it"... They will continue down the same path, needing each next "give-take victim" all the more (doing damage to that person all the while and all along the way). Is your own well being, life, and self worth worth the sacrifice? Bets are "on", that that the answer is, "no!" So, the point I wish to make is this: some people, for whatever reason: cannot be helped, comforted, or fixed.

Circumvent the whole issue. Don't go there - easier said than done, since men by nature, tend to be "fixers". However, whether that be by nature, due to nurture, foolishness, self loathing, or from within a victim mentality - some people who "need", are simply not able to adequately receive the help they are given. In that case, the "helper" has no choice but to move on - as that other person is a lost cause - and the damage to self (to the helper) will likely circumvent any and all help given.

Kapish? Surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad people. Focus on the good people. Love the people who treat you right. Forget about the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. I shall continue to love mine (those who treat me right)! And I am going to give everyone else the boot...

The following people are "getting the boot" (written in invisible ink - not to protect the guilty, but to protect myself from the DRAMA that would ensue):
░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░
░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░
Think about it... 

Who would you add to your own "list of the lost"?

New Year's Resolution ?

For 2011, I propose this "New Year's Resolution" to all readers: 'make relationships your first priority ... and consumption the last.' Decide: WHO? and WHAT? to VALUE. Choose: WHO? and WHAT? to HONOR. Such are alternatives. All take-form as: thought, words, or deeds. A belief in all that is Good (its doing) will help to better our selves, our loves, and our lives. Me Thinks.

Political Correctness (Bah Humbug!)

Sick of the social mandates of, "always" being POLITICALLY CORRECT? Tired of the hum-drum, and the run of the mill? Salvation is here!  A few of my startup-business (website) ideas...

wvw.MisMatch.con 
e-Dating to expose porn, pervs, and players.
wvw.LinkedOut.con  
Networking where loners and losers get hung out to dry.
wvw.twirper.con
Twirps cause all bird species to quit singing, f-o-r-e-v-e-r.
wvw.Coldmail.con
SPAM e-mail never gets read, as Hell freezes-over, for good.
wvw.arsebook.con
Social site for unfriending the other end, of any face.

And others ...

wvw.eDischord.con
e-Dating, where nothing ever works-out harmoniously.
wvw.Mate3.con
Where a Menage à Trois, is infinitely better than 1.

When there's a $1.00 to be had, there's someone to be had with a dollar? Your ideas (giggle) ?

An E=MC2 Christmas (the Bi-polar Expressed)?

E=MC2 Christmas again?
(AKA: the bi-Polar Express-ed)
    

While pondering the existence of Santa Claus at a very young age, I was guided by the traditional wisdom of: "Those who don't believe, don't receive..."  Indeed, and that is well-along the lines of 'you'd better not shout, you'd better not cry - you'd better not pout, I'm tellin' you why...'.  The combo aligned my childhood loyalties to the Nordic legend. However, as the years passed, I evolved into the mind of a scientist, and I sought to collect sufficient evidence to lead me to postulate a theory of "Christmas Physics". All of which has been designed to explain "Santa Claus" (A.K.A. "Kris Kringle") and his widely-reported, sometimes incredulous, always "Polar", goings-on's.

However, Christmas Physics is a distant cousin of Quantum Theory (and just as stringy), and multi-dimensional. The Christmas phenomenon is expressed in polarized energy units, known as "santas", Those are convertible to standard units to express: energy, time, and space (thank you Herr Albert, part-time violinist). This allows for the the (apparent) impossibility of "flying" reindeer and their annual around-the-world trip (in one night), etc. "Santas" are generated by particles of  "spirited" beings, called "elves". "Elves" exist in nearly all living matter (they are entities capable of doing good deeds or acts of kindness, in a wink). As "santas" are generated, the living beings nearby, feel a sense joy/happiness (jolliness - if you see what I mean?). However, a critical mass of "elves" must be reached to start the energy transformation (the paper-chain reaction). Only certain souls possess an adequately high concentration of "elves", consequentially, only they can generate the huge (truly massive) "santa mass" that is required. Voila! That explains the "Santa Claus" of legend, more or less, Me Thinks.

As these shorter, colder days of winter (and small children) act as a catalyst for this reaction, the catalytic conversion allows beings with average amounts of "elves" (at far less than "santa mass") to transform a limited amount of "santas" (by adding cookies and milk).

  To my way of thinking, anti-santa energy (i.e. "bah-humbug") can (and does) disrupt the local field-effect of the "santa" conversion. The origin of "humbug" is (essentially) unknown, but "relative" (as in "Relativity") as akin to bad-tasting fruit-cake and the inevitable, holiday traffic-jam. The interaction of high-energy "humbug" and large "santa mass" can lead to the "scrooge cascade". The resultant slippery-slide depends on the "quanta" of each - within the interaction (the chain reaction)?

? Of course, this theory is not restricted to Western cultural myth. As most cultures recount similar children's stories, hence, this must be something of a Universal occurrence. Therefore, the "Santa Claus" theory (story) is not so much, a fairy tale, but a mis- understood domain of specialized physics.  After all, how else could Santa Claus (possibly) get so much work done in just one day, or travel as far - with a red-nosed deer lighting and leading the way?  It's as simple as:

E=MC2 that is to say... Elves (do) = Most (of the massive work for Santa) Claus (on) Christmas (eve). But, children everywhere already knew that...

What remains of the child, in you?

Christmas ideals are a reflection of traditions that have withstood the tests of time and which define who and what we honor (serve), as well as - who and what we cherish (value). May your holidays be blessed with much Peace and Peace of Mind. Know wisdom. Teach tolerance. Show patience. And be kind, for...
