NOT OVER THE HILL

I refuse to believe
that I'm over the hill.
I have life experience.
I have life skill.
I'm wiser than wise
in the ways of the world.
I've learnt many lessons
as life has unfurled.
I feel that it's time
to let you all know,
I'm pleased with my lot.
I continue to grow.
I'm not quite prepared
to give up the fight,
nor vanish, forgotten
or fade with the night.
This life is great!
This life is heaven!
Who would believe
I'm just sixty-two?
So build up your confidence,
work on that smile.
You'll find that it's worth it
mile after mile.
Mile after mile,
there's so much to do!
Over the hill?
I'm not. Are you?








I do like all kind of music,especialy New Age !












I do read seldom because I,ve bad eyes






I have no favourite food ,I do eat almost everything ,Except for broad beans and cauliflower





As the Sun needs the Sky

As trees need their leaves
As the sun needs the sky,
As rain needs a cloud
As birds need to fly

As a bee needs a flower
As a squirrel needs a nut
As a castle needs a tower
As open needs shut

As a pen needs paper
As a pencil needs lead
As a hand needs an arm
As a neck needs a head

As a foot needs an ankle
As a knee needs a leg
As bread needs butter
As bacon needs egg

As a sculpture needs stone
As a painter needs paint
As a writer needs words
As bold needs faint

As a top needs a bottom
As a left needs a right
As inside needs outside
As day needs night

As light needs dark
As up needs down
As full needs empty
As a scowl needs a frown
As a book needs a cover
As a library needs a book
As a dog needs a bone
As a line needs a hook

As black needs white
As sky needs blue
As grass needs green
So I need you.

St. Patrick's Day


Happy St. Patrick's Day!  Here is a little History for you.


St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, is one of Christianity's most widely known figures. But for all his celebrity, his life remains somewhat of a mystery.


Taken Prisoner By Irish Raiders. It is known that St. Patrick was born in Britain to wealthy parents near the end of the fourth century. He is believed to have died on March 17, around 460 A.D.  At the age of sixteen, Patrick was taken prisoner by a group of Irish raiders who were attacking his family's estate. They transported him to Ireland where he spent six years in captivity. During this time, he worked as a shepherd, outdoors and away from people. Lonely and afraid, he turned to his religion for solace, becoming a devout Christian. (It is also believed that Patrick first began to dream of converting the Irish people to Christianity during his captivity.) After more than six years as a prisoner, Patrick escaped. According to his writing, God's-spoke to him in a dream, telling him it was time to leave Ireland.

To do so, Patrick walked nearly 200 miles from County Mayo, where it is believed he was held, to the Irish coast. After escaping to Britain, Patrick reported that he experienced a second revelation-an angel in a dream tells him to return to Ireland as a missionary. Soon after, Patrick began religious training, a course of study that lasted more than fifteen years. After his ordination as a priest, he was sent to Ireland with a dual mission-to minister to Christians already living in Ireland and to begin to convert the Irish. Familiar with the Irish language and culture, Patrick like many before him including Christ, chose to incorporate traditional ritual into his lessons of Christianity. Rather than of attempting to eradicate native Irish beliefs he would give them new meaning. For instance, he used bonfires to celebrate Easter since the Irish were used to honoring their gods with fire. He also superimposed a sun, a powerful Irish symbol, onto the Christian cross to create what is now called a Celtic cross, so that veneration of the symbol would seem more natural to the Irish. Although there were a small number of Christians on the island when Patrick arrived, most Irish practiced a nature-based pagan religion. So for the most part St. Patrick did indeed Christianize Ireland.


Did St. Patrick remove the snakes from Ireland. Well some contend there were never were any physical snakes there to begin with. But in a symbolic way he did indeed remove the snakes from Ireland in the hearts of the Irish people. The "banishing of the snakes" was really a metaphor for the eradication of pagan ideology from Ireland and the triumph of Christianity. Within 200 years of Patrick's arrival, Ireland was completely Christianized.


The first St. Patrick's Day parades were in not in Ireland but in NYC staring March 17, 1762.
