getting dare

sorry for the few days absences freends
travels far and wide to visit the sick father
(who was out of da bed
n watering da flowers !)
n celebrate the new union of one of the missus brothers
great chance for me and missus ck to travel together
spend some time listening to music in the auto
weller n kilbey for me
joni for her
jim moray for both of us
watching the scenery go by
talking bout stuff like how we been together for
ten years and still fancy each other!
eased my worry
i felt some of the agony of teaching
fade slightly and lift
we spent time in funky cafes
awesome coffees in bunbery
reading the knews and whos and whats whats
had a slow n careful haircut
from a lovely young thig just learning her trade
had a vibrating seat n all
persued the never ending shopping strips
(Actually strip shopping sounds good…)
met with da missus’ fam
drank n clapped n did all the right things
these things just wear me out when I am like this
then home again
after a night at…
fawlty towers!
can you believe it?
visiting our monastic compadre on the way who
took us for prayers
took us for a beautiful lunch nearby
took us into his heart and into his world
of silence n simplicity n order
and great beauty n compassion n love
was the best part of the weekender actually
coulda stayed there for ever
at the moment
a long backways n byways trip home
past flowers n towns n animals n
all sorts of places where we would say
i could live there, or there or there
and pick out our house all while driving by at
thousands of kilometres an hour
then home to out young companions n their
godmother the lovely shelle
who was glad to see us
it was a lovely time
but I missed telling you about it freends
until now that is so
I hope I’ve caught you at a good moment
and that you are ok.
cos I am
getting there.
