Dragonflies are something very magical... This must be true since they're one of the few enormous insects that I am enamored of and I do not run screaming from. Yes, I think they hold many ancient secrets of the universe ;) Read Dragonfly Symbolism . It just seems like a good day to take flight on the back of one of these mysterious creatures. What say you!?? Let's go! It's very far away It takes about a half and a day to get there If we travel by my uh, dragon-fly No it's not in Spain But all the same you know, it's a groovy name And the wind's just right. Hey ! Hang on my darling Hang on if you wanna go Here it's a really groovy place It's uh, just a little bit of uh, said uh, Spanish Castle Magic. The clouds are really low And they overflow with cotton candy And battle grounds red and brown But it's all in your mind Don't think your time on bad things Just float your little mind around Look out ! Ow ! Hang on my darling, yeah Hang on if you ...

Ahhh Romance is in the air, what with all the talk lately of vegetables and such. One might think it were spring around here. But it is not. Right now it is "smack dab" in the middle of a hot summer in Memphis, and we all know that means. If the humidity doesn't kill you, the mosquitoes will pick you up and carry you off! Yesterday, I was browsing around a few blogs and found the following few words just really made me stop for a moment and ponder. (Read the original post here, really I recommend it for you romantics!) Quoted from a Blog called " Over Coffee ," The perfect weekend destination , "What matters is not the destination, the places we go to, but the person who can take us anywhere, to any destination, when we actually remain in the same place!" How true is that?? Not everyone is lucky enough to experience that one person who can truly take you anywhere in the world, just by being with them. You don't have to do anything special, or go a...

I'm feeling rather emotional this weekend, which is "me" anyway, no use in hiding that. I've had lots of weird feelings passing through my mind about past moments and many good times (the best) that i've had, times I truly treasure. Jimi Hendrix is one of my absolute favorites, and a song that means so much to me on so many levels is "Little Wing", the lyrics, the song, what it has brought to my life I can't really put into words here, but it's very moving, has alot of meaning. I thought I would share it here, as I really can't sort my thoughts out well enough to put anything else up this weekend, so I'll listen to this song, and daydream about emotions, passions and wonderful times past... Well shes walking through the clouds With a circus mind thats running round Butterflies and zebras And moonbeams and fairy tales Thats all she ever thinks about Riding with the wind. When Im sad, she comes to me With a thousand smiles, she gives to me ...

Oh what if we could all truly rekindle the "Wow Factor" in life? I really try to, & I'd like to think there are others out there who do the same. Let's Laugh at ourselves, make snow angels, enjoy making pictures out of clouds, 'slosh' around in rain puddles, drink hot cocoa with marshmallows and invite our old imaginary friends over for dinner. Let's laugh at the big as well as small things in life. Our perception of what life should be has become over complicated and creates too much paperwork and pain. This is in honor of childhood and all that it represents to all of us "old(er) children". Fishing around on the net, I found these 3 poems that I wanted to share with you all. "Childhood" by Eugene F. Ware It passed in beauty, Like the waves that reach Their jeweled fingers Up the sanded beach. It passed in beauty, Like the flowers that spring Behind the footsteps Of the Winter King. It passed in beauty, Like the clouds on high, Tha...
