Like that Star of the Waning Summer

The fair in Minnesota
it's a bittersweet affair
 and always,
brings the close of summer far too close
 for my comfort.

It's always all about the cows.

Seriously.

Welcome to

SATURDAY'S CRITTERS

and corn-men, because we're critters too.

Or

Rather than corn critters
how about good old Dinosaurs?

Has it ever felt like your life unravels 
in the most unusual ways sometimes?

"Like that star of the waning summer

who beyond all stars rises
 bathed in the ocean stream

to glitter in brilliance."

Homer

"Never dull your shine for somebody else."
Tyra Banks

"The journey is the thing."

Homer

To be able to hear unheard sounds.

"Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none."

William Shakespeare

Life unravels in a mysterious way sometimes, doesn't it?


"Thank life for happening
thanks to you for being here.
Thank every twist and turn
that we are joined in this world together,
There is a reason for every single thing
and nobody can stop us, not ever,
There is a reason for every worry
and concern."
Dante Jannicelli
and me
