An old song, “life gits teejus, don’t it”
Applies when aging starts to show
Life turns complicated
“Everybody knows” –
Another song quite appropriate
Because we realize as we grow
Matters of importance not so anymore
Like those old things you’ve kept hidden in a drawer
Freedom turns to hindrance as we miss things even more.

Saw this on the weekend, loved it, a true story with lots of heart: “Same Kind of Different as Me”, starring Greg Kinnear and Djimon Hounsou. It is based on the book of the same title, written by Ron Hall.

I was looking for artists named for the three amigos above and came upon this folk singer. He has a beautiful voice but a strong accent which I love listening to. The words are provided here to this beautiful song.

It starts with the corner of your lip
A twinkle in your eye
It spreads into a smile
Then a wide grin
Lips part, teeth show
Your hand cups your lips
Trying to stifle
Useless as it escapes
Sort of a chuckle
Full on giggles
Then you let it rip
Can hold it in no longer
Laughter

A sun bleached tendril played on his forehead as a breeze caused a chance furl of his blue uniform cloak, showing his slim build. A merry swagger presented the gentleman as a wolf and even as I was aware of this, a chill went through me.
As he neared, the itch of reason waned and I instantly flew to his side. A wise owl might have observed this scene and warned, “be careful what you wish for”.

I lead sometimes, a frivolous life
I have no husband, have no wife
The pressure comes when everyday strife
Makes you really look at yourself
And all the feelings you have shelved
Even a hermit must sometimes use
The outside world–causes the blues
Alone you rarely have to deal
With anything so very real
You can keep yourself in fantasy
Live outside life’s reality.

Green feathers spreading
Soft lace intricately play
Beautiful fern fronds

Remember when it was bad form to use these two words anywhere? Now I believe the more popular F off is used instead. In the 60s and 70s when my kids were growing, I rarely said shut up but I wanted to. I was stressed. Now I could use it for my neighbors in the apartment above me.
Living on the bottom floor of an apartment building you hear everything–all the traffic, beeping alarms, (does anyone use their hands to open a car door anymore? Is it so difficult that you have to beep your way in and out all times of day and night?) air conditioners, warming up of engines, ice scrapers, plows, garbage trucks, delivery trucks.
When people come home from work, apparently they vigorously throw off their footwear, or maybe it’s their briefcase, laptop? And snoring, yes, I hear that at night if I can’t get to sleep before “they” do. I can’t sleep hearing snoring. My husband snored. My friend snores. I stayed at a hotel for a convention with my friend and got no sleep whatever. Apartments are just noisy places to live, and dogs, always a dog. I love dogs, just not their barking or crying.
I am quiet. The only time you hear noise from my apartment is when my grandkids are over and we’re laughing or watching a dvd on television. Watching TV is rare for me, I can’t stand commercials. If there ever was a time to say shut up it would be saying it to the tv commercials. Well that would be weird. I’m not saying I’ve never done it, but it is weird. Maybe I’m just weird. Maybe noise doesn’t bother anyone else.
