The White Ship
“The white ship has sailed and left me here again
Out in the mist, I was so near again
Sailing on the sea of dreams
How far away it seems
Sailing upon the white ship”
I have felt a lot lately that I have missed the boat, I was never ambitious enough to really try to exceed in any thing I have done. Oh I did learn a trade and ran a couple of small businesses with minor successes. I just never did shine at any one thing. Just never cared to be the best, or the fastest and I never could be the smartest.
“Home through the night here in my darkened room
Sails of white across the misty moon
Floating across the sky
Burning into my eye
Sailing upon the white ship”
I watched many of the people I grew up with become super achievers, you know on to bigger and better things. All the while I guess I was waiting for my ship to come in. I should have realized that waiting for a ship to come in is just that waiting. All the while, watching others sailing off white sails in the wind.
“Out of my mind nothing flows
Alone on the shore, but that's how it goes
Everyone knows
How the wind blows
The white ship”
I just didn’t get it in time, just couldn’t figure it out. I needed to kick my self in the ass about 40 years ago to watch my money, watch my love, watch my waist and just watch out to take advantage of those opportunities that presented themselves to me.
“The white ship has sailed and left me here again
Out in the mist, I was so near again
Sailing on the sea of dreams
How far away it seems
Sailing upon the white ship"
Don’t feel sorry for me I can do that by my self. Just take stock of your lives and be aware that nobody will hand you any thing for free. You must watch out and jump on those opportunities that may come, If you don’t you might be like an old man watching his White ship sailing away again.
Here is link to sone The White Ship by The Band, HP Lovecraft worth a listen...

Fun, Gee I wasn't thinking fun when I wrote this blog, in fact I was and still am pretty low with not what I would call fun going on in my life right now... I am glad you liked it though, and I appreciate any and all comments people make...
The Music of HP Lovecraft is dark for the most part like the Author Lovecraft. He wrote some very strange and moody stories some science fiction, some fantasy, all a bit moody and dark I thought... |

Worth the Wait... Is it Truly?
I often am so envious of those that are assured of their after life. I wish I could be. I mean I would love to see Mom and Grand dad again, plus my two brothers and sister. Another life with out worry, pain of mind or body. I am getting tunnel vision in my old age now, just like the picture I posted here. I can't see anything but what is right in front of me. Sadly I realize that I miss a lot now but I just can't stop watching. Just like the kids peeking under the sideshow tent looking for the bearded lady and only seeing the Geek eating fried chicken... I feel cheated but still can't stop looking.
If I am wrong and many say that I am, I will never be cold again after this life... Rather I could be quiet warm... |

WHEN THE WALLS ARE CLOSING IN
The walls have closed in for a long time on me Scotty. You have the luxury(Curse ?) of a much broader perspective than me and I envy you for it. Whatever destiny has been decided for me in this life i will face it head on..... not because I am fearless but because I have a new outlook. I work at a occupation that sometimes requires long hours and by the time I get home and settled I am lucky to have one hour of quality time for me. I don't take that hour for granted, but I live life to the fullest in it. Every sense is heightened as if it is my last hour in this existence. We all have the capacity to change our lot and those around us. I spend time thinking good thoughts for you and Carol, Scotty and I believe we all make a difference in each other's lives. When we set out to change the world and we think we have succeeded...... then we turn around and the realization sets in that in the end we really just changed ourselves. Love to you and your soul mate.

Scotty Larue.. what I met was fun..was watching the vid you posted..and it being a Lovecraft~
I am sori if you thought I was making light of ..your post.. honestly I wasn't I can only imagine the thoughts and feelings both you and Carol are going thru with so many serious health issues.. but rest assure..I am..about 90percent sure..that is some kind of afterlife.. and that comes from my dream life.. and my having dreamt..of people past in very amazing ways.. I know they have come to me..with their messages.. what exactly it is..not sure.. but I do think we are all here for a reason..and that is to learn to love.. and to love ourselves and forgive our selves for our imperfections.. and if you should pass before me..please..come to me..and tell my your truths.. and I will do for you also.. this is my fav song.. www.youtube.com/watch tell the people you wish to meet..in the next dimension..to meet you at the ledge.. the ledge is the place where the two dimensions meet.. sending you huggss..and smiles.. and keep strong..~ |

Heron Carol in hospital again 2/14/10
I knew you were not putting me down or making light of me personaly... I just thought what I wrote and the song I referenced are both dealing with feeling down or being down...? I am so confused anymore I think I am losing my mind, so many things are now taking very decidedly wrong turns and not for the good. I feel like I am ship wrecked only to be passed by over and over again.
By the way I had to take Carol to Emergency room again. She is losing a lot of blood in stools again, I can't believe how much and she was still walking around. late last night they decided to scope her again, so she must do the Golightly stuff again.... just got off phone and she is waiting now for the Doctor.... |
