With broken thoughts,
you waited by the window
for the BlueJay
that called your name.

They say you look
toward sounds but added
nothing can be done --
morphine is mentioned --
a patch ending your permanent
pain.

The pain vanished in two hours
as the BlueJay flew off.

'Abashed Ash stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss' ~~vandalized John Milton

so allow me a moment of silence so I can get back into a thread burning mood...

And I’m pretty sure not many of your bar buds are hunters.

But if you make a good, clean shot, you will hit bone. And, in the still and silence of the moment, you can hear when the bullet hits the bone.
Just to make sure you don’t misunderstand that.

It is a fine poem from Edward Rochester, about his Aunt Dorothy. May we all have a BlueJay to help us fly away.

Hello to Aunt Dorothy. The birds are singing in her honor today.

Unfortunately, the song birds have hushed here-- the hawks are crying...
Such is the way of the World, and people wonder why I detest it.

Hope you don’t object to me saying so, but you have quite a great deal to offer this wounded, complex, ambiguous world! You are exceedingly intelligent, articulate, perceptive, sensitive, insightful, and it’s always a pleasure and a learning experience to hear your thoughts and ideas, even if we disagree about certain matters and issues… just worry that you are sometimes( as I am myself I harden to add!) wound a bit too tight, you are intense as a I am… wish that you wouldn’t take Usenet so seriously! Remember our perspective, proportion and context “security council” analogy a bit more, Imo…

I don't object, I'm usually pretty tolerant, except when the fighting starts...
You think I take Usenet seriously? You haven't paid that much attention lately and know not my fate wrought agenda.
I take not seriously, the joke that the Losenet has become, because I'm too serious about people's creative endeavours!

Ash, we are glad that you see through Jordy's Uncle's flattering-but-insincere adjectives. Please abandon him out in the country somewhere. With a note pinned to his shirt.

Good morning!
Woke up without a migraine so I would have to say it's going not bad at all....
And you?
Has to do some searching, one of my bands (from Ireland) released the first track to their new album and the song title sounded familiar-- Victory Has 1000 Fathers, Defeat Is An Orphan and it brings up the issues of quotes again:

President JOHN F. KENNEDY: There's an old saying that victory has a hundred fathers and defeat is an orphan.
https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=10785989
The quote is attributed to him (often as "a thosand fathers") now but he was obviously quoting a proverb.
