IT'S A GHOST HOUSE

There are ghosts living in this pumpkin jack-o-lantern. The carving pattern that I used to carve this scene was too detailed. It turned out very well. I must give myself high marks! A+++

Verses From My Journal

Feelings of Doom?
yes. But. It is not a
doom like before. It is
the doom - The big end
The ultimate good-bye,
That's why everything
suddenly? becomes
clearer and more
meaningful
There is no time for complaining
only The Time itself.
No Greed
last Dance

Sept. 2. 05

Suddenly,
no hate
agreeable existence instead
no sorrow
understanding
no resignation
acceptance instead
no waving good-bye
no pain
purity

So soon
The cup is full
no end, no bottom
to see
Beauty is dear
The sound is quiet
and clear
No avoidance
of Truth


Crossing the border
No return
and nowhere to stop
Must take Invitation
to dance
Must sing
Must listen and see
feel light
Continue


2005
the 48th year of
my life
uphill?
where am I going?
I see a girl dressed
in a warm coat
with gray faux fur collar
Not much expression
on her face.
She is marching in 
Fog. She does not mind. She suffers
no cold. Her life
is...Pretty like
her figure, her face
She is not aware of it,
She does not listen, her eyes seem shut
I see a silver cord
and a gold one too
what does it mean
She has no time
to complain
She does not know
how to
She is full of Hope
She is made of Hope
She is lucky


Sound
a gift
like afternoon sunray
Happiness 
Seems short
but so plentiful
No greed
and no time
to be thankful
awareness
Truth
No charm
No spell
Meeting with life
itself


How to proceed
from Here?
Gracefully 
That's all you
need to know
Grace and Truth
are like sisters
True Grace is
Graceful Truth
Truth has Grace
Don't get lost
Please -
Your earthly Power
returns to you
How do you behave
in Its presence?
Can you
Dance listening?
Can you?
you can't lose
grace
Balance?
On a mission to
find Grace?
Yes.

Storm did damage
