Who's heard Little Richard sing "Shake a Hand"?

pain beyond comprehension.Made into art that we might be able to bear the truth of us.



Call you up in the middle of the night
Like a firefly without a light
You were there like a blowtorch burning
I was a key that could use a little turning
So tired that I couldn't even sleep
So many secrets I couldn't keep
Promised myself I wouldn't weep
One more promise I couldn't keep
It seems no one can help me now
I'm in too deep, there's no way out
This time I have really led myself astray
Runaway train, never going back
Wrong way on a one-way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there
Can you help me remember how to smile?
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
How on earth did I get so jaded?
Life's mystery, seems so faded
I can go where no one else can go
I know what no one else knows
Here I am just a-drownin' in the rain
With a ticket for a runaway train
And everything seems cut and dried
Day and night, earth and sky
Somehow I just don't believe it
Runaway train, never going back
Wrong way on a one-way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there
Bought a ticket for a runaway train
Like a madman laughing at the rain
A little out of touch, a little insane
It's just easier than dealing with the pain
Runaway train, never going back
Wrong way on a one-way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there
Runaway train, never coming back
Runaway train, tearing up the track
Runaway train, burning in my veins
I run away, but it always seems the same

I think I was around 12 when Hogan;s aired.
I had just finished Ann franks book.
I found absolutely nothing funny in it,

I was haunted by a vision of Ann hiding in my closet while my friends and family laughed.
THEN!
I had to go and see the first" Body snatchers" movie!
I didn't look under my bed for a month!

But everything became horrifyingly clear to me.
i was.."Not of this Earth"

And this Earth knew it!!!

then i fell asleep and woke up here!

Did i miss anything?

You may have had to hide under your bed for a month. Yet that would probably mean you were of this earth?
Anne Frank's diary. How do you like these apples? I'm not certain but it's quite possible that I died in a German tank in North Africa. And then what did I do in my next life? I was again a good Nazi and went to "fight for my country" in South Viet-Nam.

Far too much "good German" in my lives for comfort. I do my best to notice Fascists at work in aid of staying clear of them. I think it can easily be argued that Germany lost in WWII. HOWEVER, it seems plain to me that the Fascists WON. We went whole hog to the right shortly after the end of WWII. Worse, our feet are on the accelerator and the steering wheel is pulling us to the RIGHT. Still and or again.

I suppose that I must be firmly attached to this one and only obvious life. It's wonderful to forget these most unpleasant facts, but I think that reality has to be acknowledged.

It puzzles me why I dislike Trump and his minions. NOT.

This first Riverdance show was seen on PBS. It sure grabbed my attention, and I liked it a lot. They took the show to New York and performed it at Radio City--where the company was swallowed whole by the cavernous stage. Sure wrecked it for me. Thanks for finding the original!

The dance that never ends
rhythm
a circle that spins
and wavers
into the light
she comes to me
and brings a love so bright
beauty that shines with the stars
late into a dessert night..

tomorrow the sun
tonight the light
will curl about you
flames leaping from out our fire

into darkness
Then begging you for light.

the stars will forsake the heavens
to lay with you upon this dessert

She has no need for darkness
she shines.
I have no need of time.
when she in mine.
