hawks bringing change

out on the prairie the hawks fly in strength
they tell us stories and cause us to think
how can i say it this expanse of the heart
all things are new, every day a new start
teachers and brothers, elders and friends
have brought this new day and made a new end
every moment a treasure to be awed and revered
joy immeasurable moving to tears
and there is my brother in the midst of this time
strong and true and his laughter a rhyme
song and power the hawks brought as gifts
to the prairie home where the sunset sits

TOOTHACHES ARE NO FUN!!!!

my tooth has been bad for months...i'll tell the truth, i was supposed to have it filled in JULY but the thing is i don't like going to the dentist. dentists smell funny and their hands are overly clean - you know from disinfectants and whatnot (lol don't you love the word "whatnot") and they play with toys that make horrific noises and they are not nice. Just plain not nice...so anyway in july my tooth was broken and aching but infected so they gave me antibiotics and told me come back in so many days but during that time things happened and i really just couldn't make it. so...procrastination abounding i've gone through the holiday weekend with a toothache. tomorrow i will go to the dentist.

the moral? none. just passing thoughts:-)
