The Land Of Nod

The cool, cool, rain washed gently over her fevered soul, cleansing past transgressions, and washing away all the remorse of ancient follies, and as the clouds hurriedly parted the midnight sky, the Moon, Full, and glowing silver light shown through the trees of ancient Nod and her dance of joy began around the roaring fire set ablaze with a flick of the wrist.

I am not sure where this is comming from folks....just felt a need to post it....

Who are the People of Nod?
Did they exist outside Eden?
Were they destoryed by the Flood?
And are these People not spoken of in detail in the bible for a reason?

The land of Nod is mentioned in Genesis and I am not sure what chapter and verse, but I have always wondered who were these people? Did they in fact exist? And why is Christianity and salvation only 2,000 years old?

Tell Me What YOU think....

My husband is a TV junkie and I well.. I can live with out it to a certain extent. I do have my favorites such Star Trek The Next Generation, The Lawerance Welk Show, Hee Haw, The Dukes of Hazzard, and Saturday Night Live....Movies have to have a certain appeal to hold my attention and there are very few out there that I cannot figure out within the first 15 minutes... 30 tops.... Some of my all time favorites are "Last of The Dogmen", "Titanic", Anything with John Wayne, All of the Lord of the Ring Movies, "What Lies Beneath", "Independance Day" and "Almost Famous"... There are others I enjoy but would not categorize as favorites.... My point in all of this is that my husband if very good at TV trivia and naming actors and actress'.... I am not.... But we got into a debate whether or not the guy that played Data(Brent Spiner) on Star Trek was the same guy that played the eccentric Dr./scientist on Independence Day..... Well guess what..... I won... I got online and looked it up and have mercy on me I was right!!!! Tee HEE... Score one for Team Re- Re'!!!!

Well, I added some new things today folks....

I put up a Moon Phases thingy and added my friend Tonya's Pampered Chef site.... Yes you can order online through me.... I think...
Also re -added Todd's band site... They are an awesome band out of New York and really Rock.... The band is caled Zero To 60 or Z260 for short. Click on the links and enjoy... They listed under the outside links tab to your right... Just scroll down and Viola' ...Smooches....

Today was a "beautimus" day.

The sun was peaked out under the clouds enough to make it warm and pleasant enough to get out doors and do the spring cleaning. We raked leaves, mowed the overgrown clover growing in our backyard, picked up twigs and branches and bits of trash, trimed the narrow spots with the weed eater, cleaned out the flower beds, and cleaned off the front porch and put the tikki torches out. I must say we had a busy, productive, but tiring day. Just as the dusk was approaching a thunderstorm was moving in from the North and it grew dark very quickly. I lit the torches and sat on the porch waiting for the storm... It was a very small one and breif for the most part in our area, but the light show that followed afterward as it moved to the South was extrodinary. I laid back and just watched the lightning and the clouds move across the sky with an unchoregraphed graceful dance.... I felt totally relaxed and in tune with everything around me... I felt it was a befitting end to a glorious day....

Here are two poems I wrote during my lunch break today....Hope you enjoy...

For naught of my dreams,
For naught of my hopes,
For naught of my loves....


Drawn from an
Ancient breath
From this place
I dance a dance
Of mortal woe...
Wrought with a memory
Of middle earth and its foes
Where truth became legend
And legend became myth...
So the creatures of the land
Forgot of wars to come
And lived as though
Forever was not but a dream...
Until the Fires of Mordor
Escaped through the eye,
And the Ring spoke once more...

Within the deepest night
She seeks the solace of the moon
Dancing with fairytales,
Flying amoung dragons...
Her spirit wans as
The sands of time glide
Pass and the days grow long
Leaving less Time of the Moon,
And all trespasses
Upon her sanity take
Refuge withing the dark shadows
Of her mind...
Binding her to this world alone...

And Out of the mist a song arouse
Lamenting of her woes... Fills the
Night, consoling her tortured heart....
And with a new vengencence
She rises up withing herself
Calling upon the earth,
Calling upon the fire,
Calling upon her beloved Moon...

And as the winds take flight
Across the land she raises her
Hands, shouts to her moon and
Gives it all to the wind...

No longer Forlorn....

Re

I don't fully undersand.... or know what I was put on this earth to accomplish, but I hope that in some way the things I say, I write... mean something to someone out there and maybe... just maybe someone find some solace... and peace...

Ronnie,

These poems are for you.. They are not meant to be sad, but healing and its the best I can offer to you across the miles my dear friend and I hope they help... even if it is only a little....



Kiss me gently my dear friend,
For we know not when our eyes
Shall shine upon each other again.
Tis' no worry for my passing
Merely a dance from one element of
Life unto another...

Kiss me gently my dear friend
For I must go, I must journey
Onward to another space in time
Fullfilling this life's quest and
Making peace with my God....

Kiss me gently thrice my friend,
For it is a holy number
For the goddess of the moon
And I am blessed to have been
Wrapped up in the arm's of Life's Breath...

Kiss me gently good-bye
Carry me in your heart
For I will never truly die
As long as I dwell within there...

Kiss me gently....





Sorrow's blade doth
Cut long and hard, and deep
Just as winter's breath
Expelling across a dorminant lands
And the blade will fest away from
Unbleeding wounds
For time to sauter closed....
The depth of a loss
Never goes unbidden by
The bearer of sorrow and
Time is a friend indeed
Allowing the pain of loss
To fade and the emptiness fill
With memories fond...
Of your love... Your friend...
Mourn, not long... But Mourn Indeed
And allow me to pass....

Gathering of Spirits

A solemn lady waits
Visions spinning under
The power of a blue globe of glass
Dancing at her feet...

But wistful was she
For the times that have passed...

Tomorrow was but a dream
Veiled by long haunting shadows...
And the softness of night
Crept upon her door

------A Night Wind----

Gathering creatures of the night
Lonesome spirits out on the hold
Playing in dark shadows...

Escaping with the lady to her forest
Her only reprieve...
A lonely gypsy, dancing... Seeking
Solace in a modern world
Searching for Times that have passed...
Persuasive are the dreams
Carried on the wings of the night wind

Listen to the call of the Moon
It is her
Calling for you....

Hmmmm the posting screen on blog has changed again.... I get so confused....LOL

Well, I worked 12 hours today and I am feeling pretty good about myself...Maybe for once I wont have to work on a saturday and I can sleep late and do nothing ... I can hardly wait... Yeeeeeehawwwww...
pretty busy around here getting the kids ready for their spring break trips and all... I will hopefully post some new poems soon... I had a dry spell there for a while but the creative juices got to flowing again.... Yeah !!!

I will catch up later...

re'

Well, folks it seems sometimes I get so busy that when the time comes to blogg... my mind goes blank, or I cannot organize my thoughts well enough to write anything worth reading. So tonight I shall ramble away about anything and everything....

My 14 yr old step son is going on a camping trip in the moutains in Colorado with his boy scout troup the week of spring break. So, he needed a pair of waterproof ski pants and hiking boots..... Well, I was fretting over this because I was afraid I was not going to have the money to purchase these items because they can be quite costly. The trip was of no expense to us because he raised half of the money for the trip through pop corn sales and then local business men donated scholarships for boys that needed a little help, which I am very grateful to these men. I think this will be a wonderful and fun experience for him.... but i am getting away from my orginial point...

Anyway, me and the kids headed to a nearbly Goodwill to try and seek out these items and I was a little dissappointed when I first went in and there were was not any hiking boots and at first no ski suits. So, I started browsing the women's plus size section and found me three very nice dresses AND a very nice heavy WOOL designer winter dress coat... The coat was only a DOLLAR... I could hardly believe my eyes... I have gone without a good winter coat for several years now and was so pleased to find this one. Well, as I made my way to the end of the aisle... what to my wandering eyes did appear???? But a rack with 3 ski suits hanging from them... YEAH !!! Now these were women ski suits and I got worried he would not want one since it was in the ladies section but there was a neon blue one he liked and tried it on and it fit!!! yeah!!!! we found a down filled vest to match and the whole ensemble cost......only..... 6.99 Yeah!!! .... So, we head to Wal-Mart to buy groceries and while there we find a fairly nice pair of hiking boots on clearance for on 12.84,,,,, TRIPLE YEAH.... I felt extemely blessd to find what ne needed and did not have to spend a fortune...

About Saturday.....
I had a really good time with Allen and Jenny on our excursion to Dallas... We were first attacked by birds at a McDonalds' parking lot after a portion of our fries somehow mysteriously ended up spilling when Jenny openned the door of the car to get back in.....I was scared... I hate birds... NASTY BASTARDS....
I got us lost in the Ghetto... which was not good.... Kinda scary too... but I will take the Ghetto over Nasty birds anyday... unless of course there are gangs, shootings, murder and mayhem.....
I really enjoy my outings with them though.. I think we are forging a union of not only great minds but great people... LOVE TO YOU GUYS...

We also can hardly wait to have Ronnie join us for the Mac concert.... I am sure one of us will end up either A) In the hospital B) Mental Insitute C) In Jail or D) All of the Above.... LOL

I am sure it is going to be that much fun!!!

till tomorrow..
