El encanto de la lluvia

Sweet rain, yes but in excessive amounts, not always so sweet…

La lluvia es poema diluido en gotas de cristal que las nubes derraman al abrazarse una mañana o una noche, una tarde o una madrugada, en una estación y en otra, mientras la arcilla, en el mundo, extiende sus planas con la idea de recibir su tinta, las palabras con aroma a tierra mojada, a paraíso, a vida, a cielo. La lluvia, en gotas livianas o en tempestad, ofrece su encanto, quizá por traer el lenguaje de Dios y las voces de las estrellas y de la corriente diáfana e infinita que fluye incesante y habla afuera y desde el interior. La lluvia es letra, música, lienzo, forma y movimiento que, al expresarse libremente, despierta los sentidos y deleita al ser. La lluvia, al besar las cortezas, los árboles, las plantas las flores, la tierra, es cascada, río, manantial…

Village of Lytton, B.C., evacuated as mayor says ‘the whole town is on fire’ | CBC News

A small B.C. village that endured the hottest temperatures ever recorded in Canada for days on end this week was engulfed in flames Wednesday night and residents were forced to flee, many without their belongings.  Mayor Jan Polderman says he told everyone to leave Lytton, as a fire rapidly spread into the community of about 250 people. He signed the official evacuation order at 6 p.m. PT. “It’s dire. The whole town is on fire,” Polderman told CBC News. “It took, like, a whole 15 minutes from the first sign of smoke to, all of a sudden, there being fire everywhere.” He said he told residents to head for the nearby community of Boston Bar, and was on his way there himself. A reception centre has also been set up in Merritt to the east, and other residents have taken shelter in Lillooet to the north.

Away, Away

Shayan's Sphere

O away, away from city and towns
To the wildest woods and solitary sounds,
Oh, where tears not rush and sorrow not sings
For death and mourns over moribund beings,
I will carry my soul and build my house
With joys and bliss where hearts arouse;
And flee like birds and flee like beasts
To the darkest moors where fears resist.
I will forget to me and live in peace,
O away, away where pain doth cease,
And share my rhymes and share my words
And recite my verse with beguiling birds;
And enjoy my pleasures, enjoy my life,
O away, away from clash and strife;
And then yea merge with this woods so deep
And perish, perish in eternal sleep!

Remembering ( before lock up )

Smith Shine Poetry

Feels like I've been 
here so long,
so I strain to think back
to when things weren't so wrong.

But all I see is my hands 
cuffed in a sweatbox, 
so I strive even harder,
trying to forget about locks. 

No! I'm in a cold court cell,
and like a scared snail,
I retreat alone into my shell.

Still thinking endeavouring 
to remember, but all I can see
is a man in a wig,
dictating my future and 
how I am going to live.

'Stand up! Sit down!'
Fixed on thinking is 
causing me to frown.

And then, I remember
the girls! the beach! the sun!
back in the days 
when it was fun.

Attempting to stay in this 
memory, until this time has past,
getting there can't
come too fast.

Not my Friend, Not My Foe

Grounds For Hope

      You aren’t my friend; you aren’t my foe
      You aren’t my lover anymore.
      A friend is the one who’s always there
      ready to give a helping hand.
A friend is the one who deeply cares,
whose trust doesn’t blow away like sand.
A friend is the one who doesn’t text
a dreary and insincere “Hello”
But someone who calls without doubt,
with cheerful words that are healing like aloe.
      A friend is the one who knows you well
      Who doesn’t compete and doesn’t pretend.
      Doesn’t create an illusion of friendship.
      A friend helps to bear hardship.
You aren’t my friend; you aren’t my foe
You aren’t my lover anymore.

Versajski dvorac, Francuska – Palace of Versailles, France

Myrela

Zahvaljujući tajnom prolazu koji je povezivao kraljičine odaje s kraljevim, Marija Antoaneta je 6. oktobra 1789. godine uspjela da utekne razjarenoj gomili, ali samo nakratko. Sljedećeg jutra Luj XVI i njegova žena uhapšeni su i četiri godine kasnije pogubljeni. Dvorac Versaj je tako bio svjedok tragičnog, iako privremenog kraja francuske monarhije, opterećene dugovima koje je Luj XV ostavio u nasljedstvo sinu, previše mladom i nepripremljenom za vladavinu. U stvari, za razliku od svog čuvenog pretka Luja XIV (zaslužnog za izgradnju tog predivnog dvorca), koji je imao samo pet godina kada je postao kralj, Luj XVI je pri stupanju na prijesto imao već 20 godina. Pored toga, Kralj Sunce imao je samo 23 godine kada je, nakon smrti sposobnog diplomate, kardinala Mazarena, odlučio da vlada Francuskom isključivo uz pomoć svog savjetnika od povjerenja Žan-Batiste Kolbera. Istorija Versaja počinje u prvim decenijama sedamnaestog vijeka. Kao mlad prestolonasljednik, Luj XIII provodio je duge…

Easy Mulberry Cobbler

In Dianes Kitchen

After more than 20 years of putting up with messy wild Mulberry trees, I finally decided to do something about it, I made Mulberry Cobbler! The best part about making this was the quality time with my granddaughter collecting the Mulberries!

This recipe is so different to make. The cake batter is poured onto the bottom of the pan then everything else goes on top including the boiling water! As it cooks, the cake batter rises up to cover most of the Mulberries but still leaves the delicious Mulberry filling in tact!

To see the step by step directions with pictures and a printable recipe card click HERE.
