I was sitting on the back porch 'bout an hour after dark When I couldn't help but notice a tiny pulsing spark. I thought it was a firefly – It had that kind of glow But I'd never seen the likes of it – what it was I didn't know It flittered to and fro just like a firefly does I went into the backyard to determine what it was. Just as I approached the place I thought that it might be It flew right up and landed very close to me. Soon I realized it was no ordinary find. What happened next you won't believe – it nearly blew my mind. A Lilliputian creature stepped from this tiny craft Right then and there I was aware of questions I should ask. He must have been aware of the fear he'd caused in me. I could see my hands were shakin' -- never thought I'd be set free. His tiny voice became quite clear and in a most convincing tone He said, "My friend, be not afraid – I'm here all alone." He appeared to be confused a bit and why, I'll never know But the fear that he had fostered was about to let me go. He began to tell his story; I let out a sigh I knew I'd better listen to this little guy. Now, he was small in stature; 'bout a half inch, nothin' more – Why, I believe that he could pass through the space beneath the door. . He then began to tell me – It must sound like a dream. He was here because of some wayward sunbeam. "I race Haley's comet to the far side of the sun." He said, "The race is always over before it has begun. There is a reason for these victories, you see My good ship Omnipresence, right here in front of me." "Time and space," He said. "Are always at my command. I can do more things with them than man can understand." He said, "I spin the rings of Saturn, create firmament at will I flew a mission of atonement to a very special hill." I asked, "Do you know Jesus? He died upon that hill." He said, "When all things are settled, everybody will. I led three wise men to him that cold and wintry night The shepherds were there to witness a miraculous sight So you ask do I know Jesus? -- it fills me with such mirth -- This very craft was hidden there at the moment of His birth. I was there to hear the angels when they sang out on high. Yes, I'd say I know Jesus, That's why I'll never die." Written By John Posey 12/18/12
A little girl lost her home this year, for her, Christmas wouldn't be there. Her family was angry from all the troubles, they simply couldn't repair. Don't bother us about presents her parents said, they were depressed by their fate. With bitterness they said, you'd be lucky to have dinner tonight, or even a plate. Life was harsh, nowhere to go, anger and fear had put their souls, in a terrible place. The little girl had found no hope or joy, lurking near their old car, of late. The car was their home, gas money was scarce, and with few places they could park. Yes, their troubles had slowly extinguished, that precious hopeful spark. Without that spark, they'd never find their way, from this terrible place of cold and dark. And life's darkness grew deeper nightly, as hope vanished under a reality so stark. Even the very fiber of her family, seemed to be shattering slowly, slowly, apart. The child felt alone here in this dark car, as sadness tried to engulf her little girls heart. The future seemed filled with hopelessness, as shame and dread, were leaving their mark. Embarrassment to be seen and turned away, made it hard for them to reach out, to restart. But life goes on, and we can't fear to rebuild, or the future will be hard to impart. The girl suddenly declared there's more to life, and she wouldn't let it conquer her heart. She decided triumphs will come, and all will get better, if she held to that hopeful spark. Seeing the desolation and anger here, she couldn't stay around, she had to get away… So she climbed out of the car, and she walked into town, not so very far to stray. She went and looked at the store windows, where Christmas was being displayed. The music and people filled her heart, lifting her spirits, deep inside, that day. She noticed a store, way down at the end of the row, on the next block, where it lay. No one was there, it seemed lonely, and the darkness was again, spreading it's decay. She ran there in time to see an old man closing up, with sadness on his face betrayed. What use were his goods, if no one would shop, or come down along his way? The super store down the block, was daily making him lose more and more in the fray. He could no longer afford to hire people, and the season had very little time, to stay. As they talked the girl saw that she couldn't let the darkness take another, so she prayed. Then she told the old man, if he'd open the shop, she'd bring customers down his way. She added, she'd find reasonable workers, if her family could live upstairs, she portrayed. First bring the customers, he said, and the rest will be yours little friend, he conveyed. She had him put his best toys, as a contest prize, and to add lots of lights on the display. He set a contest, "Winners-the best collectors for families in need" on Christmas Eve. He put out a bright contest sign, but still nobody came to his end of the block, to survey. So she had him call the Salvation Army, for a kettle, Bell ringer, and Carolers, who came Lickety split, their way. Then she had him call a dear old friend, and farmer, to bring a tractor full of bails of hay. Another volunteered his horse and sleigh, both, to see the city lights thru New Years Day. This was a great idea, since the older drivers, could use the help, for their bills to pay. The girl ran all over spreading the excitement, and to come see the prizes, his way. The families suddenly started heading toward his door, and to those wondrous rides. At that moment her parents came, and she explained what her hope, had improvised. Her father talked a contractor into building a disabled family a home, to help advertise. He could get a tax break; come to this store for supplies, and hire unemployed workers, he devised, so wise. In the end, each night grew brighter, because of a girls hope, and heart-warming delight. And the old man began smiling for the first time, in a long, long, time, starting that night. All was saved, a home was found, and another built, as a sad little girl taught grownups to smile along the way… You might say, A Spark of Hope lit a candle, then a raging fire, which was burning bright by Christmas day. The moral to my story is: Never give up on Hope; it's your best friend, as life brings its troubles your way… Know that with time, a good heart, good will, and friendly ways… You can find God's gifts again, if you don't let the dark take you away…
Only light can penetrate the darkness that resides in the default state of mind I descend from beta to delta through binaural beats; instantly caught between frequencies beyond time I absorb amplitudes of acoustic energy and I learn to just be earth Since I am the earth and because I am of the one that is the source of its existence, I've owned the power of omnificence I realize now that I AM because HE is since I am from that, a descendant Created in the image of a thought and a feeling from the Universal Mind I tune in to this vibration from rhythmic pulse that manipulates subconscious minds Immersed between 4 and 7 hertz; brainwaves halt to a conscious sleep All chakras are aligned shining crown energy and now my consciousness begins to reap! and light begins to penetrate the harmonious beams that were already there constant and always there is now flooded with sound patterns that force brainwaves to submit to power of omnipresent sound that always was and always will be connected to the Source from which I came so I extend exponentially beyond; physical time and space I long to embrace the intensity of gamma rays I give way to the coded sounds that resonate from the inner core and continue to connect through the binaural beats that - remind me of before Always familiar but ignored until found by gaining knowledge of self I listen with the intent to excel while reaping an abundance of benefits and rewards Listen!! It's already yours Just reach out and grab it as long as intention and ego is checked the universe will correspond accordingly it will deliver a life to you divine and orderly Just listen to the sounds that were there from before They will guide to to the vibration from the core and it will guide you to connect directly with the source
What if I was Esther and named queen? Could I be beautiful, brave, and bold? I would—at least in my daydream. Pianos would ne'er need practicing, Mother would not hover and scold, What if I was Esther and named queen? My face would shine with love all agleam, I would drink from goblets made of gold, I would—at least in my daydream. Death would befall all Haman's team, Victory for my people would unfold, What if I was Esther and named queen? I would ruin Haman's odious scheme, Righteousness and justice I would uphold, I would—at least in my daydream. Lord, I can just picture the scene, I would lavish thanks uncontrolled, I would—at least in my daydream. What if I was Esther and named queen?
The eye,a sign the unwise can't comprehend Forged from the world's origin,an illumination in darkened minds,for the enlightened ones like Leonardo da Vinci,Isaac Newton,John Milton....etc. The eye is a tree with many branches like Priory of Scion,Knight templars,I.O.G.T,United Nations,Masonic Lodge,Music industry, Politics,global economy, etc stretching beyond human imaginations-felt in all corners of earth. The world is clothed through wisdom from above. The eye,all seeing sign,an invincible emblem of power and riches to the lion hearted and loyal souls. A seat of influence and fame. Creating the social order through men of power.... Some see it as a curse,others a blessing. I feel it,the great eye is everywhere watching you!
I'm 51 today. 51 tomorrow, yay Was 51 yesterday. 52 is months away, And yes I'm thankful. Although it's not my real birthday, It kinda is in a certain way. I'm still alive another day. I had the notion to celebrate. And be thankful. Though it's not a holiday. Thanksgiving has come and gone away, I'm just alive today. For that I'm thankful. Honestly, I am not just trying to make these lines rhyme, Or reflect upon the deep sublime. I'm just grateful today to be alive. I mean really thankful. I'm not trying to wow you with philosophy, Or impress you with theology. It matters not at all to me. I just feel thankful. So tonight I take a walk outside, I look up into the endless sky and then I breathe. I breathe in deep, And I say thank you. And maybe not just to Who you think, Man let's throw in the kitchen sink, And include all who've touched my life, to whom I'm thankful. Some of you I'm glad you're gone, Frankly you stayed a bit too long And some you the grave stole far too soon, And yet I'm still thankful. Today the living and the dead You've both been right up inside my head, And synergized this verbal thread. For that I'm thankful. I close my eyes and think of Tim, named David right there toward the end. I always smile when I think of him, And now I listen I heard a siren going by, I wonder who and wonder why, Was it a wreck, did someone die? Yet still I listen. Neighbors dogs are going wild. Was that the laughter of a child. Seems like I can hear for miles. Still I listen. I hear the hi-way roar of cars. Tho I have never heard the stars Is there really life on Mars? Shhh brain please shut up and listen! The soft night whispers in my ears. Pressing through my random fears, I stand amazed at what I hear. And now I wonder. I open up my eyes and see as I feel this winter breeze The silhouette of leafless trees. I stand in wonder Then I wonder about the first man to ever be, Or the first time he looked up to see The Milky Way the galaxies. Did he wonder? I wonder what he did How he loved how he lived. If he ever lost a friend? Man oh man I wonder. Was he the first to dig a grave? How it sounded if he prayed? How he fought? How he played? If that man could see us all today, What would he say I wonder? In ways was he a lot like me? Did he sometimes fear what he could not see? Did he create unseen walls Of unbelief? I stand and wonder. Did he ever hurt the ones he loved? Did life convince him not to trust? I wonder. My great grandfather lived My DNA is shared with him. I wonder how we are the same, And I don't even know his name. Still I wonder. Will my great grand kids know my name? Will it even matter who's to say? Will they look up in wonder? Will they listen? Will they be thankful? Not much I can leave to them That would matter too much in the end. I suppose the primal hope in man Is the hope I hope lives on in them I hope they wonder. About the universe. I hope they listen. To life's unspoken verse. I hope they're thankful. Even in midst of deepest hurts. I hope they're thankful. I hope they listen. I hope they wonder. And no matter what life hands them, I hope they hope.
Omniscient guy Yet he lets bad things happen How can he exist?
(To be read after my 'Fire and Brimstone'.) Dragon Fly, Dragon Fly, fly away home. You've caused enough trouble here, I am told. All you wanted was to ring the church bell, but the belfry your body did not take well. Terrible things happened all around, and the belfry you left is certainly not sound. Old Lady Moore still has her cane, to protect them again, if you cause harm, within. Old Lady Swanson's lost hat is her major complaint, apologize profusely, be a saint! The Church belfry will need lots of work; by the carpenter Trolls to fix it's bridgework. The people all need to calm down, they were scared and now the church is shutdown. Looks like they'll need a new fancy annex to be built for weddings and such… To help them forgive… even… ever… slightly… enough. Though, of course… The preacher himself…wants you back, for sure; I am definitely, and totally assured. He's never been inspired to such lofty greatness to soar, never, not even, once before. He says you hold his key, to reach the lost, as they tune in to see what's coming next. He wants to add even, the Trolls to the mix. If they can be saved, well, you get the gist. And you'll have to attend church for quite a while, yes, still, as an itsy bitsy Dragonfly. You'll need to get forgiveness from all, you know, before you grow big, again, I am told. The witch is quite clear on this spell, a dragonfly you'll stay till everything's made well. Seems, you also, owe them an apology, for half scaring them… well… nearly to death. Bumps, bruises, and a broken arm need to heal, from jumping over the pews, they feel. Plus some of the teenagers, have made tee shirts of you, and want your autograph, too. You see, your limited edition, when signed, will pay their way to bible camp, this time. And the girl with the cast on her arm, wants a picture of you on a leash, so be charming! You see, you scared her, a really whole lot, if she can pet you, her fear will be forgot. It seems, you really messed up, this time, you see… but all will be forgiven, eventually. So Dragon Fly, Dragon Fly, fly away home. They understood, once your story was told. If you agree to all I have said: They'll give you a bell outside, to ring before church… Each and every Sunday Morn, with a special alcove, made for only you, to perch... Remember, if God can love a mischievous little Dragonfly... And he can love you, too. So until next church time... Bye Bye...
Beauty of nature Why condense it down to God? Isn't life enough?
I have barely seen Him or catch even His shadows around. I have barely touch His hands... Nor I have barely heard His soft soothing voice.. Nor I have barely felt His footseps lurking beside or behind me.. However, what a deep soaring reassurance is His presence... Not of like a Human Being that can be perceive.. Rather He is the silent rescuer and ever living Spirit.. No need for extravagant welcoming.. He has always been within our innerselves.. He is the calmer of our quivering nerves.. He is the greatest teacher not wanting us to fail. He is our dearest friend not forgetting.. He always is waiting for you and me.. His arms widely open to embrace us.. His unending; unfailing is so felt.. Beyond wonders; beyond times and beyond borders.. All the time we are invited to talk to Him.. Even sing a song for Him and with Him.. More to play a harmonious melody to commemorate Him.. Truly, majestic in limitless abundance is His providence... He is only one.. No one can overpass Him.. All the earth will uphold His Name.. He is our God - OUR GOD... by: olive_eloi 2:14pm 23/10/2013 -------------+++ GOd has always been with me.. and so is He with you.. He will comfort you.. He will be there, never leaving.. just believe.. do trust.. blessed afternoon
Set me free Lord set me free, Take this evil I lay with away. Take this torture turn it astray. Walk with me just let me be. Look inside my heart to see, Erase my mind as I do pray. Renew my spirit all in a day. Sign me up for a high decree. Leave all this as dust in the wind, Scatter past present and future, I will not falter nor will I bend, Send it all away with no suture. Set me free Lord, take this madness and put it in its place. I must warn you it wears a mask to cover up its ugly face. (R) Registered: 2013 Ann Rich
God made all people But some better than others? Stop being silly.
In the exact moment that I am right now I stand in a sea of vulnerability; susceptible to the effects of causes around me and since I am fully aware, I own my surroundings I am one with sounds and vibrations resonating from the earth; I am that pulse of the drum beat thats been thrashing inside me since birth Right now, I am exactly as I am deeply flawed and misjudged used, victimized and persecuted Right now I am you in the absolute Right now, I am exactly as I am balanced, whole and complete attracting abundance and certainty Right now I am peace - still you Right now, I am exactly as I am You
The body: sacred We're all made in God's image Hence... circumcision?
When the time comes we shall all gather, People of all walks and talks together, In front of the parish for the Holy Communion, It is here that we meet our companion, In holy matrimony we unite before the father, But this is no ordinary parish, We separate men from boys before they perish, We relish in wines and spirit, Just like church goers after the Holy Spirit, In beer we trust because its fetish, The parish, I drink until i perish, In beer my life i cherish, I wish to make a wish, Parish, perish, cherish, i wish, Just like the church seeing holiness in the pope, In the bar tender we see drinking hope, We speak in tongues under the influence, And we never shy away from an audience, So don't demonize us, we don't do dope, Just like Jesus who walked on water, We keep on walking like Johnny Walker, On your wall the Holy Virgin Mary, On mine you'll find the famous Hale Berry, Unlike them were living our happily ever after, The parish, I drink until i perish, In beer my life i cherish, I wish to make a wish, Parish, perish, cherish, i wish, We've never missed a bar gathering, On several occasions you've missed a church meeting, We pay all our dues to the bar tender, You hardly give two percent tithe to the preacher, So when we meet in hell spare me the greeting,
Where am I? Why is it dark? This isn't what I had in mind when I left the park… Why isn't the wind whispering…the songbirds singing? All I remember is a telephone ringing… A scream and a crash and a pain in my side… Is this what happens after one's died? I don't feel like myself, I feel wild and free, Yet I'm cold and alone, 'stead of filled with glee. My whole life I've studied, and pondered, and prayed, Trying to fathom what would happen this day But now that it's here, I'm beginning to fear Maybe the afterlife's not what it appears… It's certainly not what I've been told by my preacher Or my parents or brother or best friend or teacher… Is it a bad thing, or is it good? Maybe it's just not quite understood... While I was on Earth, I just couldn't wait To meet good St. Peter at the heavenly gate And ask him a question or query or two "What was my purpose?" "What good did I do?" "What's it all for?" "How does it all flow?" "Can I have one more body, one more try, one more go?" But where is the angel? Where is the gate? And If this is Hell, then where is Ol' Satan? Am I a lost soul? Am I forgotten? Am I to be left here until I am rotten? Lo and behold! what, now, can this be? Is this a wonderful spiritual epiphany? Is this the magical feeling all souls receive When they leave Earth? Oh! was I that naïve? How could I have not seen the realism? Why was I consumed in man-made idealism? This is more wondrous than all I was taught Oh, all the times I argued and fought With others, 'bout how their views were asinine Now I see, theirs were just as wrong as mine! Little I thought was actually correct! How, why, did I let others petty beliefs infect My untouched, my pure, my virgin mind? I regret all the hours I self-tortured to find That compared to what I see now, I was empty and blind… Wait - - What is this that I see? What is this gateway that is revealed unto me? Now a door is opened to my immortal soul I am expected now to enter my life's final goal… I am scared, intimidated, but still I am glad… For the truth I have just seen is anything but bad. This is the end of my journey, I've nothing to fear, For now I am going Beyond the Frontier.
I was giving a lesson on the Liberty Bell, as the daily Church bells went off. Yes, you guessed it, Dragon wanted to ring them, suddenly he was aloft. Before we could follow, he was out of sight, but that didn't matter, anyhow. The only steepled church, with bells, is on the other side of town, I vow. Time was against me, as I hurried, for my Dragon, had been quick, my friend. It took only a moment, for him to get in trouble as, yes, he surely did, again! At the Belfry, he found no bells; they'd gone to canned sounds, the week before. He was so intent on finding their location, that he opened the belfry trap door. Tail in the air, head thru the trap door, Dragon fell and became completely, stuck! Worse yet, Wednesday's service was going on, the church was packed. My luck! Imagine preaching fire and brimstone, as a Dragon appears, puffing fire and smoke! He disturbed the peace… as he yelled for help, with a crazed and mighty roar. Instead of help, he got a whopping, from the cane of, dear old lady Moore. She was protecting everyone, as they tried, to make it out of the doors. Now, Dragon panicked, as he knocked the steeple belfry, partially loose. An earthquake knocked a few, off their feet, as dragon tried to get loose. This became the best fire and brimstone service the preacher ever gave! The sermon rocked, as a parishioner blew the fire extinguisher in Dragon's face! Dragon began to sneeze and cough. Yep, it was a whooping, big mistake! Now, people began to panic, and blocked every exit there was, to take! I needed to get in, to stop this, before anyone could, truly get hurt! The neighborhood witch had followed, and as she laughed all heard! She loved us as neighbors, for we tickled her funny bone, every night. I implored her to save the day, for a lot of lives were definitely, in plight. She was very inventive, you know, to turn him into an itty-bitty, dragonfly. Now, he finally escaped, though he sneezed and coughed for a very, long, time. The preacher's sermon went viral, as time immortal, famous, he became. But old Lady Swanson came too close, as her favorite, go to meeting hat… Well, you can say, the hat everyone hated to sit behind… It went up in smoke! That day became known, in infamy, as the only one, Dragon went to Church! I didn't pay the witch's price, to make him big again. She said it wouldn't be wise. Just leave him like that, till the mob simmers down. He can pay his own price.
Was it enough or was it too much? Sometimes too fast but always too slow! God knows that I come with these seeds that grow. Inside and out I absorb every single touch, But why should I? Why should I be the only one that knows? Stepping through time and sliding back so smooth so I go! I say I can qualify! Where was I and why was I there? Sometimes too obvious but always with doubt! God knows that I come riding in on a prayer. I absorb every single touch inside and out, But why should I? Why should I be the only one that cares? Climbing the highest mountains and sliding down so steep but on a dare! I say I can magnify! What did I say and what did I do? Sometimes too quite but always too loud! God knows that I come with a gleam that shines so proud. Inside and out I absorb every single touch by you. But why should I? Why should I be the only one in the crowd? Walking on water and walking backwards but at least I know how. I say I can intensify! Do I want to or do you need me to? Sometimes I wonder and sometimes I simply don't care. God knows that I come standing on a higher sky of blue. I absorb every single touch by you inside and out with this glare. But why should I? Why should I be the only one with this view? Up in the clouds and aimless but always led by you! I say, "I SANCTIFY"! ®Registered: 1997 Ann Rich
CIL MAOLCHEADAIR (Kilmalkedar) On such an Irish spring and drizzle morn, she wandered through the graveyard, looking for the Celtic dream from which her past was born, and every sight brought her to wanting more; she dreamt her roots from carvings on a stone as if she understood each chip as real, passed down to only her, and her alone, from pagan worship she could almost feel; and she could bundle them within her mind to share with Pennsylvania kith and kin, perhaps the magic, if still there to find, would be an understanding where they've been; and she will burn her candles every night, hoping Kilmalkedar will make it right. © ron wilson aka vee bdosa the doylestown poet
Muslim who influenced by westernize, Lost name and Identity, drowned in Occidentalize, Got accuse of terror and blame of activist, Oh the Muslim, thou lost thy illuminant, Thou turn away face from lessons of Quran, Ever thou remembered the moral of surah Aal-e-Imran, Betrayed thy self through curse deed, The Almighty bondman what's thee need, Lead thou self toward astray, Turned attention to infidel way, Forgotten the worry of last abode, Repent thy sins by viewing this ode, Eager thyself of virtue, thirst of hay, Inertial thought turns thou rough and clay, Vivify thy self, You the Muslim and still alive, Strong enough as the pillar of five, Worldly life is not more than amusement and joy, Be prepare for hereafter, as you have to die.

Like the seraphs whose wings unfold, Christ's light and glory goes not untold; as the love of his humble grace moves inside me all time and space, as the planets orbit heaven's sun and encircle it one by one-- so, too, am I caught in his sway, beloved of him from day to day. Through hosts of astral dimension God's angels fix their attention with expectancy and burning pause amidst the universe's First Cause. He, the one true Incarnation that begets cosmic causation, resolves the Infinite Regress from the pre-Socratics' egress with his omniscient wisdom and the archives of his kingdom where all can come and read and know what miracles he'll yet bestow.
It's simple. We make it much more complicated than it is; Just live.
An earthly existence A universe beyond my minds, comprehension I die I rise Life lessons reviewed Homeward bound I am not lost, after all! I am a willing participant Serving, the Father, of all creation His son combined, 'producing life' as we know it Representing them, in everything I do I am nothing, without Love! My heart full of faith, loyal service I give Learning how to unconditionally serve, as the Father unconditionally, loves me Worshipping our Divine Creator's existence Choosing to live, moment to moment Being as one with 'Our Universal Father' No physical permanency My physicality, disappearing My mortality existence, I let go of Death temporary My spirit alive! Relief, Peace 'I am only passing through!' A unique, experience of mortality A gift, I am blessed to experience, to live!
At some Sweet Point in Your Youth Through Travel Guides beguiled Searching for Existential Truth You dreamt of Erin Isles You longed a quite, simple life Away form Hectic Glances Attempt to be Free from Your Strife For Introspective Chances To visit the Ancestral home Or even to Inhabit Away, In Solitude, Alone And Keep the Mindful Sabbath A place where land stays Always Lush In Emerald Enclosed The site of Inner Beauty Bright In form of Dear Red rose I Shall Still See the Pilgrims With Purposely Bared Feet While Walking though the Sharp Hills Their Feet Profusely Bleed I know the Image of Crushing Waves The stately,Brave stones They do not Bend nor do They break And Bear the weight alone The Crosses and the simple graves With names already erased And stone compesed As life itself From Tiny, Pearly grains
My eyes Witness your departure My eyes Are dripping with hopelessness… My eyes start to blur… Melancholy put me under pressure… Is there a cure to my disease? You don't see The shards of hope that once brought us back together Just let me search for safety I'm strong enough to realize that I'm no longer The weakest prey out there… And I'm left in my solitude… Do you hear me whimpering like a distraught puppy left on the train tracks? I'm close to my demise…save me and take me home Nourish me…and be my beloved friend Will this friendship last forever? Hopefully it has no end Will this cheerful moment help us get along with each other? Because of you…I feel the need to run I keep an eye on you – I worry that you'll hurt yourself again Because of you…My freedom is nearly gone I don't wanna be caught off guard again Because of you…EYE can't picture a solution for our vexing dilemma Because of you…eye can't focus on my long-term goal And I'm left in my solitude… Do you sense that I'm giving in to failure? And I'm close to my demise… Only to find myself disappear…I can't endure The hardships that you place upon me… Could you boost up my confidence to overcome My atrocious anxiety? I'm just waiting for some sun To keep me in good hands… To strengthen me with perseverance … I'm just waiting until His son Leads the world outtah Egypt and reveals to us… His radiance…His dazzling Kingdom – Vibrant with glee Your undying sympathy dawns upon us I'm overflowing with indescribable joy You're a candle in the night… We meet eye to eye… What a sight…what a precious sight
Peace The chaos is shedding Piece Of happiness is floating Cease The madness..chaos is concealing Peace Comes from the Lord - To Him who mends us all... To Him who forgives all of our sins And downfalls And answers everyone's calls
Blasphemy…cloud over their hearts of gold Their value gradually diminishes…their weapons turn to mold Serenity…deserted them and neglected them like orphans Their joy rapidly wears out…they mislaid their abundant portions They yearn, "RESTORE the walls of Jericho!" Anguish…shadows over their dwelling, sacred place Their weaknesses manipulate them – they're the definition of disgrace Danger…defeats them and tarnished them as if they were worthless Their prosperity shattered straightaway! REBUILD our merriness! They plead and pray, "Dona nobis pacem…" Hear our hesitation and supplication…we're beneath the bricks and remains We're buried alive literally! We're becoming one with the ground Fear and despair erases our soothing dreams…we're getting washed away in the drains We're searching for shelter…we're getting hunted down – we're barely surviving They churn… They coil… They drift away… They spoil… In their miseries… Does He hear their pleas? "SAVE ME!" "Bestow blessings upon us!" Are you ignoring us deliberately? "Give us a helping hand And lead us to the promise land!" Misfortune unravels in this city of bafflement Their strengths repaired our souls…we're the definition of bravery! Desolation and disbelief demolishes the walls of Jericho… Does anyone sense their resentment? Their charity transformed to greed suddenly – Their lack of optimism and gratitude Buried them down in captivity How can you bear their poverty? How can He save them from destruction and pity? They whisper on His Holy Hill, "Dona…Nobis…Pacem…" Don't let the battle overthrow 'em!

A Scientifically Religious Experience While I sit in church my mind begins to wonder It passes by the alter through the walls Then reaches at great speed to cosmic places Not yet charted on the map of time Accelerated ten times faster than a light My thoughts go out there where they belong I cannot afford to buy or operate a space craft at this time My mind will have to do Three layers cover the oval silver ship The outer one deflects particles and radiation It breaks down, collapses, after penetrating The first five universes along the way The second shield consists of electron and antimatter elements To neutralize the effects of mounting speeds as I proceed Through stars, quasars, and colors multi-matter The last layer of protection on my simple ship Is made of elemental particles that holds it all together Keeps us from shrinking into the void Into the past to find real history As speeds just keep increasing It is no mystery I have to get back to my original position Finding it might be a task Will I still be there in church when I return Or will it be the past?
Have my peccant daydreams seep away Purged from my mind devoid all delay Evaporate those thoughts like the mist Wring as a sponge, oh LORD, with a twist Have me absorb ideas you adore Blessed visions soak deep to the core Living water so pure for my soul Please, fill me up, each pore, every hole My thoughts are wrong, so done be your will Your providence is far greater still So, God, exchange, my sin with your grace Each transgression, remove every trace Though my frail mind compels me to turn With drowning pain, my life, you did earn.
Holy books says it all You taught me how to crawl This will never change Never ends never fades Dear God where you are? Shattered piece of childish dreams This will never change Never ends never fades. I can fight for all my life, Not broken, not broken inside Never be so frustrated, Not going to commit suicide. Fuc*ing faith will fall, Mortals will stand tall Hell and heaven are all the same Live your life, don't die in vain Only you and I can make A better world for tomorrow Have faith in yourself And wipe off the tears of sorrow Make me scream, Make me cry I'll never fail to try. This night's has an end No pain will remain
The time of year when the joys Rain down form Heavens When the families get together, When the children look up in hope Santa's fill surprise in the socks at night When the snowman appears in gardens There comes a the giggles and chants Colored balls in trees and stars shining Exchanges of greetings nights of prayers We gather to celebrate the coming of Joy Night to celebrate the Holy Jesus Night to celebrate new Life, for its The time of year when joys Rain down from Heaven…
In shimmering ebb of evening's closing tide I kneel and kiss Your jeweled footprint above a trillion super stars illumine the temple dome and a crescent moon floats near the crown of my head I've forgotten my name and the way home long ago washed out to sea there is no existence apart from You I wander the dazzling shoreline a cobra draped around my neck I am Shiva the thousand petaled One Please share the warm embrace of my new Poetry book: 108 Bhakti Kisses, The Ecstatic Poetry of a Modern Day Gopi http://amzn.com/0984787216
My physical self is pitiful I have been incapacitated since an early age Inadequate in every regard My body is a useless shell Luckily, this place is beyond basic physicalities This place transcends the grim and darkness of reality This place is my world I am the creator of this realm I am Alpha and Omega No longer do I answer to the call of another God Now, I can correct prior transgressions And eliminate the pain that made that world flawed Man My iteration of man shall be eased of suffering They will not have to plead with their God As I have I was useless A joke for the ignorant A burden for the willing Never again shall there be ignorance Never again shall life be a burden Life is a gift A most precious gift There Well, I must admit, I do need some more practice But in time, humans will be my angels Animals The world needs more than only man An ideal ecosystem A cycle of life of death But death shall be quick and painless And their lives will be treated with respect Hand in hand- excuse me- Hand in paw Animals and man shall work together To maintain balance in this world Balance is essential Nature To complete this world, there must be laws Laws incredibly similar to the ones of my past world But, there shall be new laws New laws that the universe must abide by One: Killing will never be sport Two: Destruction of my world by the hands of man Shall never take place Three: All life is in control of their life I never had control I was always a puppet A figurine on display for the amusement of others Never again Sovereignty is guaranteed, disease will be ridden The cosmos Perhaps the most important part of my world It contains the mysteries of the universe And maintains the order of nature The secret guardians The hidden monoliths No one knows their true purpose Some just like to stare But they are my titans There to look over mankind Well, this is my world What do you think? I say it's beautiful Some may say it's superficial That imperfections and true pain Can never be suppressed Even by a God I assure you, this world is perfect I have not made the same mistakes I know the evil of that world That evil has died with this creation Is it not pure evil that I was a spectacle? That I couldn't use my body? It was a damn trick It was cruel To have such a functioning brain But useless because of my dysfunctional body I was a waste in that world But when I discovered I could create a world of my own I knew there was still hope My mind was merely a playground Now, it is a field for creation A place where life will begin anew Life will always live in happiness Misery is nonexistent Man is perfect Man will always be useful Animals are not only tools They are integral to the purpose of this world Nature shall never again pull cruel tricks It will maintain the perfection that I have created There will be no bickering amongst the stars The cosmos are there to protect man From everything that destroyed me I never want mankind to suffer again I have been through too much suffering I have seen too much suffering This world will be perfect It gives me hope Hope that no one else Will ever experience what I have But I am no fool I know that when I die This place will die with me This is all just in my head All I want is a haven from that worldly misery The same worldly misery That made me resent God What is the purpose of life If that's the kind of life some may have? I would have killed myself long ago But I can't even express my desire to do so I hate myself I hate the world I live in I want to die Hell awaits me For I have been blasphemous I have cursed the life I was given While I still curse my life I am joyous for those given a happy life Never forget Life is a gift A most precious gift
Deep in self where thought takes its toll; Past Determination where foresight first achieves its goal; Beyond Compassion but not always by Misery; Opposite Reason laughing at ideals of Sanity; Skewing Memories in religious peace, it sees a cultural war; Fortifying Beliefs in religious war, hope weighs in more; Unfathomable queries is where its minions lay their seed; Morality chooses the heroes it will breed; Constucting sanctuaries where anyone can cry; Burrowing tunnels where courage may lie; Wild Dreams a mere nightly place to play; Adjacent Consciousness is usually where it may stay; Imagination-Where the Soul dances with Possiblity
As i read the last chapters of Isaih in the hours middle of the night i encountered them missing verses they tell the story of Isaihs wife tell of Isaih's journey to heaven and his fight with pollynesians a race of females who enslave by use of technology and magic they had taken over the gadgets Solomonic devices used for communication Isaih managed to defeat the pollynessians and destroyed all the solomonic gadgets Isaih gave up his spirit and was taken to heaven because heaven will need his help again in the future the future when the solomonic devices rise and the pollynessians try to gain dominion once again through the technology they hyponotise the user of the gadgets the user becomes a worshiper of pleasure and material wealth worshiper that night am sure i read the missing chapters the story is still very clearly in my mind next day i searched for the chapters to no avail and i wasn't sure any more whether i had dreamt up the whole thing lewis nyaga
I take a long trip to India it was Just a regular vacation and It was time of dewali the festival of lights celebration So I help set up the deyas Throw the oil and make it light And they all said to me Brother you are a Hindu tonight Then I went to Iraq To visit my best friends They both were well dress In the best Islamic trends it was the end of Ramadan? so they prepared a feast after we pray Then they all said to me Brother you are a Muslim today with many I stand at the wall In the holy city of Jerusalem here should be a place of peace But it got so many problems It's the eight nights of Hanukah So I help light the candles too And they all said to me Brother tonight you are a Jew Back in New York now enjoying Christmas time By my Christian friends home Having fruit cake and wine I carry gifts for the children Helping with the decoration And they all said to me brother today you are a Christian And as I drove home I think of the people I met And the memories they give and what I learn I will never forget Why can't we find peace? I come to one conclusion Its the Governments who wants The world to live in confusion If we respect each other Then the world will live as one And from the kindness of our hearts The hope of peace will be born So let's start with our self And spread it down the line I think we can do it Changing one heart at a time
In this poem you find me standing alone in the darkness of night. Standing in this same place while the sun is up would have been of little or no consequence. Somehow darkness triggers the element of fear in Me. I become afraid and my imagination begins to play tricks on me. When the bewitching hour of midnight arrives I begin to imagine that I see weird and horrible specters made by the nights shadows cast by the wind swept branches of the trees that encircle me. In frenzy and close to madness my mind begins to hallucinate. In a trancelike state my mind thinks it sees three large ghosts. The ghosts are symbols of Mans three greatest fears: The fear of poverty, The fear of getting old and the fear of dying. The most destructive of the three (poverty) steps forward. And in a loud voice speaks. She states that all my fears are two-fold. First, I fear the inevitability of old age and death and the probability of poverty. That these fears are by my own hand because I cling to ancestral fears that were and still are a mixture of ignorance and religious fantasies and the cause of all my dread. Standing in the silence of the night when Heavenly sights disappear from my view I found myself lonely and afraid. Then As midnight approached the shadows turned to Horrid, winged specters leaping about me. I was mesmerized by their ghastliness. Suddenly there appeared from their midst three Giant ghosts standing before me possessed. The largest of the three stepped forward. She Began to speak in a thunderous voice. "Your fear is two-fold: You fear what you see, Us! At the same time your fears are by choice. You cling to ancestral fears concocted In ignorance, steeped in religious dread."

Stoke Abbott is a village and civil parish in west Dorset, England, 2 miles (3.2 km) west of Beaminster. In 2012 the estimated population of the parish was 200.[1]
The author Ralph Wightman, agriculturist, broadcaster, and native of Dorset, described the village as "a beautiful place of deep lanes, orchards and old houses, with a church of quiet charm",[2] and, in a similar vein, Sir Frederick Treves in 1905 considered it "as pretty a village as any in Dorset".[3]
On Waddon Hill to the northwest of the village are the remains of earthworks of an early settlement, consisting of a low bank 9 metres (30 ft) wide and traces of a ditch, though historic quarrying around the hill may have destroyed more. Mid-1st-century Roman and Romano-British military artefacts were found on the hill's southern slopes in 1876–8.[4] In the Domesday Book in 1086 the village was recorded as Stoche[5] and had 32 households.[6]
The parish church of St Mary the Virgin has Norman origins but has been altered and added to over the centuries. The 12th-century font is notable.[4] The Very Rev Hedley Robert Burrows (1887 - 1983), who later became Archdeacon of Winchester and then Dean of Hereford, was incumbent at Stoke Abbott for a time.

(HOLLYWOOD, CA) -- Gorgeous Romanian actress Lea Lexis (http://twitter.com/lealexisxxx) interviewed with popular UK newspaper Sunday Sport (http://www.sundaysportonline.co.UK/) and commented on Vatican City's recent illegal download scandal. Sunday Sport is a popular British tabloid known by its readers for delivering the best stories in celebrity news. When Sunday Sport learned that TorrentFreak.com had released a list of pirated films downloaded in the holy city-state that included a scene that Lea had shot with Krissy Lynn for Kink.com affiliate site WhippedAss.com they insisted they speak to the blonde bombshell for her reaction to the news. "Honestly, I wasn't that shocked by the scene they downloaded," Lea said. "It doesn't surprise me that a bunch of repressed religious idols would need a release every now and then, but I was disappointed that they chose to pirate the film instead of purchasing it. One of the Ten Commandments is "Thou Shalt not Steal" and that's not a very good example to set for their followers!" In the interview Lea also criticizes the church for its hypocrisy in publicly condemning the adult entertainment industry while secretly downloading the same films they urge their followers to renounce. The Kink.com scene that was downloaded featured Lea Lexis and Krissy Lynn engaging in S&M, bondage, whips and hardcore sex. The Romanian native currently lives in Los Angeles, but that hasn't stopped her from attracting attention worldwide for her daring adult scenes and sexy athletic figure. Lea was featured in the May issue of UK men's magazine Ravers DVD in a glamorous spread for her Digital Playground release Home Wreckers 4. XXX Romanian starlet Lea Lexis is interviewed in national UK tabloid Sunday Sport.

The American adult industry welcomed Lea with open arms. The XXX star quickly began shooting for all the top companies including Kink.com, Evil Angel, Elegant Angel and Digital Playground, charming viewers with her incredible performances and her willingness to try new and inventive positions.

Washington Post: "Know Who Benefits From Charitable Giving? Only The Rich"
Fred Hiatt, the editorial page editor of the Washington Post, goes on a bit of a rant
…At first blush, it seems to make policy sense, too. The rich fabric of America's civic life, from Boy Scouts to community orchestras to soup kitchens, is the envy of the world. Its diversity reflects in part how much it depends on private givers with diverse interests and motives, and not just on the government. Their giving is encouraged by the charitable deduction, enacted in 1917, just four years after the income tax itself. The deduction lets people feel they are beating the system even as they practice virtue.
But there's a question of fairness that complicates the issue. Overwhelmingly, the deduction benefits the wealthy – and the rest of the country has to make up the gap.
In other words, private citizens and entities are "giving back" instead of giving the money to the Central Government and allowing the Central Planning Office distribute the money as it sees fit.
Say a grateful California billionaire gives $10 million to a Los Angeles hospital where his wife received good care. If he is paying income tax at the highest rate (not a sure thing, as we know from the presidential campaign), he can reduce his income tax bill by 35 percent of the worth of the donation. He pays $3.5 million less in federal taxes than he otherwise would have had to pay.
Um, let me get this straight: the billionaire just gave $10 million to charity, and paid $3.5 million less in tax, meaning said billionaire actually gave up $6.5 million more than he could have, and now the hospital's balance sheet is looking pretty good, and the hospital can now help quite a few more people, can make renovations, purchase needed supplies, etc, and this is somehow a bad thing? Only in Liberal World.

Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale Team Up With Their Pup
Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale ran errands around LA yesterday. The duo made their way back to their car as Gwen held on to the family's latest addition, a Pomeranian puppy. They're back to their weekday routine after a busy holiday. The Stefani-Rossdale family spent Thanksgiving Day at Gwen's parents house in LA and returned closer to home over the long weekend. On Saturday, Gavin took Kingston and Zuma to a playground while Gwen performed with No Doubt at the Gibson Amphitheater, the first of a string of shows that the band is scheduled to play at the LA venue. Gwen returned to the stage on Monday night and will continue with five more concerts through next week.

Holy cow that's some ingenuity! Nice build!
very cool, i wondered if this could be done
I blame the media blamers
Yeah I was a little scared of starting it but I figured hey if I blow it then I can always start over on another one ;-)
Could you fit 4 cornies in there if you really tried? Or does it just barely not fit?
I can't fit 4. i could have modded it to do it but i was just lookin for 3 cornys and a 1/2 keg. with the mods i did i is about 3/4 - 1" from fitting. i do think i could fit a 3 gal in there somewhere.
That's amazing! I see that you were very careful not to break any of the lines, but you also soldered in a T-fitting. How were you able to do this without leaking coolant? Thanks for the post!
I had the T already soldered in place when I made the switch. It wasn't that bad actually then I just pressure tested and it was fine.
Well poured my first one from this thing and boy was it tasty. Has anyone else been doing the same thing with their dorm fridges? I am curios to see some pics
I am wanting to see what others have done with this fridge. Have you tried the same type of conversion if so what did you do? and post some pics or hand out some advice

Want to start teaching your child to read, but don't know where to start? Begin at the beginning, with something teachers call "concepts about print". If you can get your kindergartener or soon-to-be-kindergartener comfortable with this ever-important skill set, she'll be ready to roll when reading begins in earnest.
Concepts about print probably sounds pretty dry. And it probably sounds pretty vague, too. True enough, because these aren't reading essentials that are easy to explain, like word families or phonics. In fact, they're things that are so automatic for adult readers that we don't even think about them-- things like which way words flow on a page, or the fact that reading happens from left to right. But as obvious as they may be to grownups, according to Emily Rogers, Associate Professor at Ohio State University, an awareness of these concepts "is not information we're born with. We have to learn them." We have to discover "how print operates," Rogers says.
So grab your child's favorite book for reference, and get ready to tackle this important skill set. Not sure where to begin? Here are the concepts, or building blocks, of print that beginning readers need to know in order to make the jump to reading:
- Title Location: Whether they can read it or not, beginning readers should know where to find the title of a book. Instead of just reading the title, say, "The title of this book is…" and point to it as you read it. After you model where to find the title a few times, your budding reader will go straight to it when asked to find it.
- Author and Illustrator: Talk to your child about the jobs of both an author and an illustrator. Your definitions can be simple: An author writes the words in a story and an illustrator draws the pictures. Model where to find each name on the cover of a book, and offer your child praise if she can point to each.
- Directionality: This is a big one! When you hand your child a book, does he know that the spine should be on the left? Does he know to begin reading at the top left, and continue to the right and downward? These are concepts of directionality. Children that are ready to read pick up directionality by watching you read. If you point to the words as you read aloud, your child's concept of directionality will be reinforced each time you read together.
- Letter vs. Word, Word vs. Sentence: It's important for young readers to learn how we organize letters into words and words into sentences. The best way to teach your child about these concepts is something we teachers call "framing". Start by asking your child to frame a letter by placing her pointer fingers on either side of that letter. Do the same for words and sentences. Practicing this concept of print will help her isolate the different elements of a story, and improve her grasp of the other concepts of print.
- Return Sweep: When reading multiple lines of text, children need to know where to continue reading once they finish the first line. Sweeping back to the left on the next line of text is called the return sweep. Like teaching directionality, modeling by using your finger to point to the words as you read to your child is the best way to teach this skill.
- Spoken Word to Written Word Matching: Read a simple line of text to your child. Then ask if he can read it back to you and point to each word as he says it. For beginning readers, it's often a difficult task to match spoken words to written words. A great way to work on this skill, which is sometimes referred to as one-to-one matching, one-to-one correspondence, or tracking, is to ask your child to echo each line that you read. When you are the reader, you'll point to each word. When your child is the reader, ask him to point to each word.
- Punctuation Has Meaning: While kindergarteners won't be expected to know the uses of all punctuation, simple punctuation such as periods, commas, question marks and exclamation points are important for understanding the nuances of text. This will be reinforced and solidified when your child begins using simple punctuation in her own writing. For now, explain to your child what each punctuation mark means, and point them out when they show up in the text that you are reading together. Using lots of expression in your voice when you read can also help your child understand the meanings of certain punctuation marks.
- First Letter/Last Letter, First Word/Last Word: Ordinal numbers are a kindergarten math concept that will come up once the year is in full swing. But knowing first and last are valuable concepts when learning to read. Use the framing activity discussed in the Letter vs. Word, Word vs. Sentence section to practice finding first and last letters in words, and first and last words in sentences.

SEMP Supports Consumers
What is SEMP?
Supported Employment (SEMP) is a program that provides the necessary supports to help a person with a developmental disability identify, obtain, and maintain paid work in an area of interest at a location of choice.
Individuals who participate in Summit's SEMP program must be 18 years of age or older, have a confirmed diagnosis of a developmental disability, and be linked with VESID -Vocational and Educational Services for Individuals with Disabilities. (This can be arranged through your Medicaid Service Coordinator or school transition team.)
How the process works:
Once an individual is approved through VESID, you may request Summit to provide Supported Employment (SEMP) services. A Summit SEMP specialist will meet with you to determine strengths and weaknesses, develop job readiness skills, and explore areas of interest that lead to paid employment. He or she will work with you to apply for a job, determine and arrange for transportation, attend job interviews, and provide job site coaching to help you become comfortable in your new work setting. Our SEMP specialist will help you with all aspects of work depending on your personal needs including, using a time clock, packing or purchasing your lunch, and making friends on the job.
SEMP Supports Employers
Benefits to employers:
- Job candidates are pre-screened and matched to jobs that align with their interests
- Employment positions are analyzed to allow job candidates with a thorough understanding of your expectations
- We will provide assistance with training techniques
- We are available to trouble shoot and assist with any problems if they arise
- Tax incentives are available
- Our SEMP specialist will provide your job candidate with on-going support and you and your employees with specialized training to help ensure a successful placement.
- Hiring a diverse workforce is good for business!
- People with developmental disabilities tend to stay in jobs for long periods of time. Higher retention rates of diversified workers lowers your costs of hiring and training.
- You will be opening your search to an untapped pool of workers which gives you access to a new and vital workforce.
- A diverse workforce introduces you to new viewpoints and approaches, giving you a competitive advantage.
- People with developmental disabilities take great pride in their work. As ambitious co-workers, they motivate others employees, increasing productivity for everyone.
- Employing a diverse workforce demonstrates your company's commitment to the community.

Since I was in Bing for the day and the B-Mets were in town, I wanted to see some of the Mets prospects. I got to the park around 4:00pm for batting practices and watched both teams hit and field. Right before game time, all the Mets players were very accommodating signing autographs for the fans and my kids. Nimmo,... More
No traffic,no tolls,parked for free on a side street--and to think we were going to drive 4 hours to watch the lowly Mets play at Citifield and pay $22 tp park!!. Great laid back ballpark with very knowledgeable fans--sometimes there will only be a 1000 of them there-but they are into it. Section 14 row 2-you are right on the... More
Took my son here to a Binghamton Mets Double A game. Ticket price was good. Food and drinks BEWARE!!!!!!!! the price for a small bag of peanuts was 4.75 WHAT!!! A 20 oz bottle of soda 4.50 ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND!. This isn't majors, Not Tripe A but double A never again!
State of the art if this were the 1960s, it represents an adequate baseball experience with few amenities that will hopefully be revitalized if the surrounding Binghamton area has the same resurgence.
I'm not a huge sports fan, but others in my family are, and this is a very inexpensive and fun outing for us all. Tickets are as low as $2. There are frequent giveaways, so check the website. Concessions are also pretty affordable, especially compared to major league parks. I highly recommend the pulled pork sandwiches! The more avid fans... More
Traveled from Toronto to Binghamton to see the Mets / Blue Jays AA matchup. Wife is a Mets fan, was her birthday weekend. Got free tickets from a lady outside the stadium who did not want to go in because it was overcast. Went in, but the game was called due to rain. Still cool to check out the stadium... More
Small venue with affordable ticket prices and all seats offer a good view. Basic baseball food options are available at decent prices. There are train tracks just beyond the left field fence, so in the middle of a game a train can go rolling by - love that.
NYSEG Stadium is home to the Binghamton Mets, a Double A affiliate of the New York Mets. The stadium is not old in the least, but is aging. This is a no frills, fairly basic stadium but all seating have backs, arm rests and cup holders. The stadium in large enough to hold a decent crowd (6,000) but all have... More
No traffic to fight.(NYC I have a problem with traffic). The price is very,very reasonable. Box seats $9- $12. Other seats maybe $5. I went for the box seats with the team dugout below.

2 one- act plays by Don Nigro; directed by Robert Bock
The Great Gromboolian Plain
This long one act by the author of many popular plays is a love story that takes place on the grounds of a mental institution. A young girl who believes she can time travel meets a man who is not what he seems. Institutionalized by her sister to coerce her into revealing the location of their father's last poems, Dinah is protecting a deep secret. Magellan's attempts to understand her send him back to the turn of the last century, back to a place where a young man is forever asking a pretty nurse to dance to the carousel music.
On a rainy night a young professor drives on a twisted road through the woods near Princeton, swerves into a ditch to avoid a girl in a white dress, and finds himself stuck in his car with an outrageous and possibly demented young lady who might want to murder or make love to him, or both. This ancient ghost story is retold as a funny and frightening play about the relationship of desire to danger and the perils of relying on the kindness of strangers.
March 8th through March 24th
Friday and Saturday evening performances at 8pm; Sunday matinees at 2pm
