DANDELIONS

Weather where I am: 59 and sunny (actually stuffy and flourescent ... darn library).

Weather in Peoria, Illinois: 54 and windy. They escaped the tornados.

Weather in Sweden: cold and dismal. 30s, which is colder than usual.

The time, the date, the year

My friend, Jeanne Mason, of Ridgeway, Ontario (s-shlush-shy tomorrow), sent a note about 3 seconds after 1:02 am on April 5th. According to her it will be: 01:02:03 04/05/06! Which is neat, but I responded:

Ah ... but according to YY/MM/DD HH/MM/SS (year-month-date-hour-minute-second) it already passed us on the 3rd of February, 2001.

But lo! and behold! there is always 09-08-07 06:05:04 to look forward to. That be the 7th of August 2009! Right around the corner.

"Everyone should have an on-line friend named Phyllis"

Nada (Sybil) has her Mrs. Phyllis and I have my Mr. Director Phyllis. Mr. Ryan Phyllis to his friends, I'll have you know! He's back of me (leaving, as I look over my shoulder, and coming over to read this!) and drinking KOMBUCHA. Which is a vinagry cultured mushroom infusion of tea ... sounds strange to me. Told him he should blog! He told me he doesn't have the time. What! You could do it between 2 and 3, says I! The only time I'm up at that hour is when I'm drinking, says he. Ah ... to be young downing Saki-bombs! Which, personally would be a good name for his blog ...

Dandelions

The University of Kansas celebrated its first Dandelion Day on April 23rd, 1941. 3,400 students and faculty, along with Chancellor Malott dug up 93,000 pounds within 3 hours. Cut off by the War, it was resumed in 1946 and was declared defunct by 1949 as the menace had been defeated! (The Student Union has posters about some strange K.U. trivia.)

You should see them now! Nothing like a field of yeller in the Spring. Hog tie me Ma, I'm getting frisky .

Actually, I'm like a dandelion. I'm pervasive, stubborn, can survive and even occasionally smile under adverse conditions. I come through winter, hug the earth and hold up my face to the sun. My season is Spring. I am vilified by many and have learned to hide. I struggle in the neglected crack where no one cares to look ... and bloom.

Explanation 3:16

My Finger extends beyond the bang
of universe, the fireworks
of all Beginnings, the dazzle
of the sky of Being.

I filled the Void with Light.
Now at the fade of Time,
as each snuffs out,
you ask the question, why?

I gather the ashes back,
pack them close together,
denser than your thoughts,
point My Finger once again.

And bang! A brand new universe.
Throughout Eternity, I'm never bored.
