The circles of the stormy moon
Slide westward toward the River Plata,
Death and the Raven drift above
Awaiting guards to open gates.

James in Arizona:
"This is the dead land
This is cactus land
Here stone images
Are raised, here they receive
The supplication of a dead man's hand
Under the twinkle of a fading star.
Between the conception
And the creation
Between the emotion
And the response
Falls the Shadow
This is cactus land
Here stone images
Are raised, here they receive
The supplication of a dead man's hand
Under the twinkle of a fading star.
Between the conception
And the creation
Between the emotion
And the response
Falls the Shadow
For Thine is the Kingdom
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper. "
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper. "
------T.S. Eliot 1925---------

My Cousin Dick & His Lovely Wife Nancy:
...

"We have lingered in the chambers of the sea
By sea-girls wreathed with
seaweed red and brown
Till human voices wake us, and we drown."

Dick Grote Turns 75 Years Old:
My cousin Dick Grote turned 75 years old on June 11, 2011,
and Hathaway Studios did a photo shoot of the event:
Shall I say, I have gone at dusk through narrow streets
And watched the
smoke that rises from the pipes
Of lonely men in shirt-sleeves, leaning out
of windows? . . .
I should have been a pair of ragged claws
Scuttling
across the floors of silent seas.
I am no prophet--and here's no great
matter;
I have seen the moment of my greatness flicker,
And I have seen
the eternal Footman hold my coat, and snicker,
And in short, I was
afraid.
-T.S. Eliot-- 1919

An Obituary printed in the London Times
An Obituary printed in the London Times.....Absolutely Brilliant !!!

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense , who has
been with us for many years.
No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.
He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:
- Knowing when to come in out of the rain;
- Why the early bird gets the worm;
- Life isn't always fair;
- and maybe it was my fault.
Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge).
His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place.
Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.
Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.
It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.
Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims.
Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.
Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.
Common Sense was preceded in death, by his parents, Truth and Trust, by his wife, Discretion, by his daughter, Responsibility, and by his son, Reason.
He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers;
I Know My Rights
I Want It Now
Someone Else Is To Blame
I'm A Victim
Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.
If you still remember him, pass this on.
If not, join the majority and do nothing.
