This is not a sermon.
Don't take it that way.
It isn't a lecture or a lesson.
Enjoy your life and don't look back which is easier said than done.
Hoping regret doesn't befriend me as it has for many.
If for some reason that makes no sense to you, others don't what to participate.
Let them live theirs as best they can.
It is your life

Language thus becomes an instrument of "spirituality", that is to say, of the direct transmutation of desires and emotions into presences and powers that become "realities" in themselves, without the intervention of physically adequate means of action.

Paul Valery, from "I would sometimes say to Mallarme..."
The work of metaphorization is important: it brings together all the elements of a question and "contains" them before all of their particular ramifications, hidden conflictualities, and blurred paradoxes can be displayed.

Rene Roussillon
It’s a firework holiday,
so let’s light up the night,
wave the stars and stripes,
eat barbecue and drink bud light.

We’ll celebrate the liberties
that SCOTUS says we’ve got
it appears they’ve all been bought
and before their terms are over
they’ll resurrect Dred Scott.

Watermelon, hot wings
we’ve even added new things,
like smash & grab lootings
and frequent, random shootings.

Some Republicans want to break away
to form a less perfect union
can you form a successful nation
based on the politics of illusion?

There used to be parades
I’m told, that featured local
things, like firefighting brigades
I guess we’re just to fractured now,
to sashay in such displays.

I bet those were the days.
BLT Marriam Webster word of the day challenge: Sashay = proudly walk in confident display
Silent flower
Waiting for the sun
To bloom and to be kissed
So much beauty inside
Ready to show off.
Lonely woman
Waiting for her Prince
To make her heart flutter
To bloom and to be kissed
So much love inside
Ready to give.

And when the sun came
The prince arrived
The flower started to bloom
Lonely woman opened her eyes
She started to glow.
Flower in paradise.

Then came the butterflies and the bees.
To make sure everywhere flowers would appear.
The prince took his lady by the hand.
To live happily ever after,
to never be lonely again.

True stories begin
With hearts filled with love.
To make this world a beautiful flower garden with white doves.
All people living together in harmony and peace.

It’s on us the people, to
let this fairytale come true.

We humans are like different flowers
Making this Earth a beautiful flower garden.
Let’s live in  peace and harmony with each other to make this world a happy peaceful place for you and me.
