'Sup?

Ah yes, the Christmas season is upon us...

In kitchens across my tiny town, the mamas are baking delectible delights and the papas are raising trees and putting up lights. Tonight, was for singing carols around the neighbourhood to seniors and newbies, spreading cheer or laughter, depending on the abilities of their ears to dicipher melody or merely a cacouphiny! Not much has changed around here: Grandma still feeds me, I'm still called brookie, mom still asks me where I'm going and tells me to wear a coat, Dad still asks me what I'm doing, both still love me...

We interrupt this Christmas moment to bring you quite possibly some of the coolest news ever!

Oh, ya, baby! We'll join the ranks of those crazy cool kids formally known as Zero G Coaches!

That's right! We'll be getting paid to play on the hottest ride next to SpaceShipOne itself!

Zero G. Simulated Weightlessness.

No Gravity. No Boundaries. Apparently, Newton lied. Break the law -- of gravity!

Ping! We are now free to float about the Cabin!

Check it out.

broken body cries out

Hmmm... yes the hour is late
alone, i contemplate fate
and the curious collection
culminating in this new direction...

tho cancer would ravage and rage
i pause, wisdom sprinkeled, yet far from a sage
no fear in love
and love have i much...

that which would kill
now used to heal
a body once broken
by deeds better left undone,
words best left unspoken...

a disease whose purpose is death
now breathes vital breath
into the corpse of the wounded...

sweet ointment like healing
the Father revealing
hearts broken, now bending
no time for hatred, grudges or keeping
bitterness like a treasure
compared with life it won't measure
up in the shake down...

the bride is awake now
no time for sleeping
a daughter is needing
the strength of your pleading
w/sin not impeding
the grip of your words...

let heaven hear
words crystal and clear
Jesus, sweet Jesus
bring healing and life here...

In Honor of Will

So, I'm upstairs about to settle down with my book of the week and I'll I can see is the words from Will's email expressing his sentiment regarding my, shall we say tardiness, at updating my blog site. Hence, warm cozy book thoughts are overshadowed by the "KEEP YOUR WORD AND UPDATE YOUR BLOG" freaky almost ghost of Christmas past type whispering... :)

life is still beautiful.
life is still crazy.
life is still painful.
life is still joyful.
life continues...

There has been more chaos, adventure, confusion, shock, pain, excitement, and DRAMA in the last few months than either my pen or heart wish to describe. However, the cool thing about life is that when all walls feel like they're simultaneously closing in and breaking down, everything simply becomes OK. After reaching breaking point, all other adventures/dissapointments merely get thrown on the pile...

more to come (and more regularly)...

much luv and happy holidays!!!!
