Two of Us

Two of us riding nowhere
Spending someone’s
Hard earned pay
You and me Sunday driving
Not arriving
On our way back home
We’re on our way home
We’re on our way home
We’re going home

Two of us sending postcards
Writing letters
On my wall
You and me burning matches
Lifting latches
On our way back home
We’re on our way home
We’re on our way home
We’re going home

You and I have memories
Longer than the road that stretches out ahead

Two of us wearing raincoats
Standing so low
In the sun
You and me chasing paper
Getting nowhere
On our way back home
We’re on our way home
We’re on our way home
We’re going home

You and I have memories
Longer than the road that stretches out ahead

Two of us wearing raincoats
Standing so low
In the sun
You and me chasing paper
Getting nowhere
On our way back home
We’re on our way home
We’re on our way home
We’re going home

We’re going home
Better believe it

lyrics by The Beatles

taken on our road trip approx. one year ago today!

You make me dizzy, Miss Lizzie,
The way you rock’n'roll.
You make me dizzy, Miss Lizzie,
When we do the stroll.
Come on, Miss Lizzie,
love me fore I grow too old.

Come on, give me fever,
Put your little hand in mine.
You make me dizzy, Miss Lizzie,
Girl, you look so fine.
You’re just a-rockin’ and a-rollin’,
I sure do wish you were mine.

You make me dizzy, Miss Lizzie,
When you call my name.
O-o-o-o-oh baby,
Say you’re driving me insane.
Come on, come on, come on, baby,
I want to be your lover man.

Run and tell your mama
I want you to be my bride.
Run and tell your brother,
Baby, don’t run and hide.
You make me dizzy, Miss Lizzie,
And I want to marry you.

Come on, give me fever,
Put your little hand in mine.
You make me dizzy, Miss Lizzie,
Girl, you look so fine.
You’re just a-rockin’ and.a-rollin’,
I sure do wish you were mine.

“an immoral or evil habit or practice.”

“any of various devices, usually having two jaws that may be brought together or separated by means of a screw, lever,or the like, used to hold an object firmly while work is being done on it.”

both are definitions from the dictionary and both are used as nouns.  both can hold, while one helps the other hinders our progress…

“As a sudden flash blinds the eyes
so that it deprives them
of the sight of the clearest objects,

so a vivid light shone around me
and left me swathed in such a veil
of its effulgence that nothing appeared to me.”

Dante’s , The Divine Comedy.

taken this morning on my walk to coffee, this is right next to the sidewalk in the middle of the city.  not an unusual sight however distressing.  the statistics are overwhelming…tragically humans everywhere suffer under their own demise…polluting our bodies, minds and earth!

lyrics by The Beatles

this is my first born…tomorrow is her birthday!  for some reason i thought today was the 11th and walked over to a local bookstore where she works to brighten her day with “Happy Birthday!”.  i saw her and as i approached she said “hey, what are you doing here?” and i said, “silly girl, it’s your birthday!” she said “mom, tomorrow’s my birthday!”

what a mom!!

this is taken at my Buddhist center here in Tucson…a fence and gate for the perimeter of a Peace garden in our entry. stopping by to do offerings and cool the garden down a bit! it is 40C or 104F here today and the nights are NOT cooling down…

seeking refuge from the hell realms!
