Things Seen While Asleep

-
Our soul more beautiful than Angels
With out weight a sparkle of brilliance beyond our eyes.
So resentful of sin, that dust gathers
In clumps to decay like holes.
We inspire no pity of those who would help
If we had the why to touch them.

    The dream was more of a static vision than a linear situation. In the seen there were shapeless bodies of brilliant light floating in nothing but air and dust, and with them were old dirty cherub like angels. The objects of light were breathtaking to behold and they were the souls of man. In this seen the dust would contaminate and collect on the souls, marring their brilliance, and slowly killing them, much like a cavity kills a tooth. The angels were clearly there to help, but were obviously resentful of the beauty owned by the souls of men.

Taco Tuesday

  Photo credit:  Scott Cain  "Tacos today" An employee’s loyalty is tested when their employer does not pay them. They are sympathetic to the suffering as their boss endures to keep the business afloat. But they too struggle with their own needs. Especially the ones that conflict them.   Chapter 1 There were no trees at the corner of Third and Rose. Only a flat field of concrete where the old door factory had burned down. Weathered cement floors and foundation were all that remained. Weeds adorn in unappreciated flowers grew through the cracks where they could. The large urban plot blighted by its general lack of activity was a forgotten place. At its edge between the property and the sidewalk stood a chain link fence and a small hand painted sign. The diminutive little sign was about the size of a cereal box. Adorned in periwinkle with hand scripted white letters. A curios advertisement lost in the bright wide open space. Yet, the brilliant contrasting colors gave i...

Photo credit:  Scott Cain  "St Patrick Stew" For Colin Happy St. Urho’s Day!   For my son, the recipe distilled from five other recipes. Hopefully he likes it. The venison from Robert Ruiz (AKA, Bobby Danger!). It had been in our freezer since 2022 and 2023 respectively.  Essentially all ingredients were what was on hand on this day. At the start of the day (8am), the meat was still frozen. so I added it to the slow cooker immediately, and covered it with the all the liquids required for the recipe. Once defrosted (10am), I added the remaining ingredients. Turing the cooker on high for one hour and then back to low for 7 hours. I estimate that all should be ready by 6pm. 2 tablespoon olive oil 1 pound venison cubed 1 pound ground venison 1/2 pound bacon (cut to squares)*cook separately and then add 1/4 cup all purpose flour Freshly ground salt and pepper 2 cups beer (Guinness) *one pint 2 shots whiskey (Old Grand Dad 115) 1 tablespoon Worcest...

  Photo credit: Pamela Cain  "Claremont balcony" For my Children " All of life's great adventures are sprinkled with pain " Tuesday March 28:     As I departed my house backing out of my driveway I realized that after a long of work day in the cold, I was exhausted. This was only the opening to the second act of day. 6pm on a Tuesday, and I was leaving for spring break. Freshly shorn; winter beard gone, and the mop of on my head cut short. I   was feeling lighter, and ready for warm weather.   As I slowly backed out the driveway my Mom called, and no matter my situation I try to always answer her. It was good to hear her voice and I kept her on the line as I drove to the bank. I extracted $300 emergency travel cash. Our lively conversation kept rolling all the way to Suttons Bay, when something in our words reminded me that I was supposed to bring Colin’s medication. I told her I had to go, and quickly made a U-turn to drove back to Northport. At 7pm...
