Osprey’s Nest–Welcome Home!
Greetings and salutations from the sand, sun and surf of Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard and the great island of Nantucket! I cannot express how good it is to be with you today in words, so, I won’t try. The day here in Osterville, proper, a mere football toss away from their HOME of Hyannis Port, the thirty-fifth President of the United States, Jack Kennedy and his beautiful wife, Jackie, along with their incredible family that includes the likes of Bobby, Teddy, Eunice, Sargent Shriver, Maria Shriver… just to name a few–is, in a word, stellar. People who have made REAL differences in people’s lives from one shining sea to the next, true inspirations, as well as inspiring the rest of the world at large-forever. Having said that I must say a few words on this Holy day, in my book, Thursday, the twenty first day of April, 2011, the eve of Good Friday, where it may not mean much to some, but does to a whole lot of good folks out here. It means, as a good friend of mine(s) from the great state of Michigan once said, very recently I might add, and for that, I am ever grateful–that Easter is the season of FORGIVENESS and a whole new rebirth on what this whole little exercise was all about to begin with. I also wish to make a BIG shout out to the friends I left behind a long time ago, for whatever the reasons, from the great state of New Jersey, Beach Haven to be specific, who I pray write and come up to this little sand bar created by the Last Great Ice Age over 11,500 years ago (we’ll leave the Light on for ya!)–a little unknown, perhaps not so unknown these days, Cape Cod and the islands of Nantucket, an old gray lady living the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, and Martha’s Vineyard, named from an old English explorer who dedicated that island to his daughter, Martha. As much as I would like to “launch” into beltway politics, you may have all come to know while reading seacapecod.net, provided by only one guy… this liberal, tree huggin’, environmentalist who will not quit slamming the lies, greed and social injustice so prevalent in the world “at this juncture”–I thought today, on this HOLY day, I might offer a prayer, for not only those I love now, loved then, and really love all one in the same, now and forever–I thought I might think about some much less fortunate than US….. for the people in Japan, who are suffering with mankind’s inability to understand his own limitations… It is a song written and produced, not to mentioned performed and beautified by my favorite artist in the world, Mr. John Denver, and Placido Domingo, who sing a song about the definition, or perhaps, the mysteriousness of what LOVE really IS, as definitions abound, we have all experienced, and to that, and on this day, I wish a guy like John Belushi the same, who rests not to far from where I write this blog every day. Have a beautiful day, mirrored by the 50 degree temperatures outside, pure, blue azure sky and a calm wind that moves the white, puffy, fair weather cumulus clouds above this little blue rock we all SHARE! …enjoy…. and GOD BLESS US ALL!
LOVE (a song by John Denver and Placido Domingo)
“Perhaps LOVE is like a resting place, a shelter from the storm, it exists to give you comfort, it is there to keep you warm…and even in those time of trouble, when you are most alone, the memory of LOVE will bring you home…”
“Perhaps LOVE is like a window, perhaps and open door, it invites you to come closer, it wants to show you more…and even if you lose yourself and don’t know what to do….. the memory of LOVE will see you through.”
“For LOVE it, for some, it’s like a cloud, and some as strong as steel, for some a way of living, for some to way to FEEL…..”
“And some say LOVE is holding on and some say letting go, and some say LOVE is everything, and some they don’t KNOW…..”
“Perhaps LOVE is like the ocean, full of conflict, full of pain, like a fire when it’s cold outside, or thunder when it rains… If I should live forever, and all my dreams come true, my memories of LOVE will be of you…..”
“And some say LOVE is holding on and some say letting go, and some say LOVE is everything, and some they don’t know. Perhaps LOVE is like the ocean, full of conflict, full of pain, like a fire when it’s cold outside, thunder when it rains, if I should live forever, and all my dreams come true, my memories of LOVE will be of YOU…”
PRESERVE THE WILDERNESS! Peace~M
