another holiday/ a contrast /& Gone

the time away (a day away) will surely relieve the difficult and demanding week (almost a punishing week,with it's surprise abuses) that just happened.

"I've spent too many years at war with myself
the doctor has told me it's no good for my health
To search for perfection is all very well
but to look for heaven is to live here in hell

After today, consider me gone"
from "Consider Me Gone" Sting


"So you know how it is
Wake up feeling grey
Nothing much to think and nothing much to say
Don't want to talk/ don't want to try/
Don't want to think/ don't want to know
Who what where when or why

Oh but you do that and you're missing the world
Yeah it's happening right now whatever you heard
You do that & you're missing the world
You have to get up get out and get gone!
yeah get up get out and have some fun
You have to get up get out and get gone!
Yeah get up get out and get it on
Get up get out and get gone! "
from "Gone" Robert Smith/Cure

deception pass (or Placid Flaccid Election)

It could be considered a crucial time, here, a coupla months before another American presidential election. Was there a time when these weeks before the vote, conscientious pre-voters exchanged their views,
compared & debated..when we talked about it all and we were the better for it?
I've heard some stories lately (and have one of my own) that concern these weeks bringing out (from loved ones;friends,family, & lovers) the medley of peculiar differences, what we don't share; the untilnow quiet unearthed private prejudices, the secret inner pulses of a P.O.V.
From one, proudly, a surely sound heartfelt thoughtout nugget of belief.
To another who thinks it only ignorant.
Arguments Abound! Dis coarse. Emphatic rhetoric riding on raised voices. Feeling hurt. Angers. disappointments.towards kinda new loved ones;friends,family, & lovers. New things revealed. The lines are drawn.
Peace loving people like me may shy away some from sharing necessary political truths. New rules may now apply.
no politics, very late in the day.
