Like the song says

Things will change

Her cold maybe gone

If I hold on

For one more day.

Or more likely

she’ll still be coughing

and told to stay home from school.

All Hallow’s Eve

was the night before Martin Luther

posted the condemnation

of Indulgences on the door

of the Catholic Church.

The practice of paying for sins

that had not happened yet

was his greatest despair.

He loved his God and merely wanted a Reformation

of the church he followed.

Yet like all great rebels

he knew

something had to be done.

So, instead of Reforming the Catholic Church

he ended up

helping Protestant churches to form.

That was one trick

he did not foresee.

As a child

staying at a friend’s house

was magical.

As an adult

it is only a hassle

to make sure everyone

has what they need.

Especially the child

who wants to come home

in the middle of the night.

Mimicking what has come before

Can be worthwhile.

But don’t expect to end up

exactly where they had lead before.

Your journey is unique

and no one can change that.

So take what you can from the ones

who blazed the trail before you.

Understand you will not be them

but love what they have taught you.

Crazy train.

Rails.

Doghouse blues.

Wagon.

things that could be bad for you

and yet

we still fall off.

Why is this one better?

Who has the authority?

Doctors are not infallible.

Yet, science is a better bet

than emotions that often times get us into trouble.

The snow has come.

White stuff covers the ground.

Hats and jackets still tucked away.

Boots for the weather found basement unbound.

Now time to enjoy the season

with a cup of hot chocolate

and blanket watching it fall outside the window.

Life outdoors

with wildlife everywhere.

Weather warm and sunny.

Unless you are in Alberta

then it might be snowing

halfway through the day.

In June!
