My best to you and your family at this time of great sorrow may you all move forward with ease, and peace in your hearts. Listen, for the winds will utter her name as they sing their aeolian song
How wonderful to receive your encouraging words, Val! Thank you. Moving forward may not be as easy as my family would like it; we are, nevertheless, compelled to be comforted by the wonderful memories we have of a dear one who was just about all things to all people.
Blessings to you.

mountains i have climbed
For Mama, on the 105th Anniversary of her Birth
seeing i have seen
hearing i have heard
should i close my eyes this day
speak not a frowning word
hearing i have heard
feeling i have felt
voices now are whispered songs
that all my heartaches melt
feeling i have felt
lessons i have learnt
pain is not my strangest friend
‘tis oft that i've been burnt
lessons i have learnt
secrets i have kept
patience holds my trembling hand
nor wisdom ever slept
secrets i have kept
knowledge i have shared
mountains i have climbed in hope
to dream and fight and dare
knowledge i have shared
children i have weaned
memories i have prized that
untried hearts have never seen
children i have weaned
teardrops i have dried
loved ones i have buried young
the pain of love defied
teardrops i have dried
comforts i have given
storms i've weathered on a path
oft steep and thunder riven
comforts i have given
praise i have received
but all glory be to God
in whom i have believed…
…for seeing i have seen
and hearing i have heard
and in my heart i have believed
Christ is the Living Word.

I am deeply grateful to you, Ahavati, for making my moment of sorrow your cause. You have demonstrated your commiseration and support by reposting this poem from my collection, an action by which you have effectively tributed my tribute to someone dear to my life.
Your compassion is a healing balm.

Those of us who have lost our mothers know the ground you stand upon, Cabcool. I am glad our meager actions could provide some balm in this impossible situation.
To Clarify: Cab did not post his own poem in this thread. I did, and when he quoted me it showed up, which is perfectly fine.

Ahavati said:Eammon, I'm unsure if you realize the post you quoted of Cab's is a notification in regards to his mother's death? If you did, I apologize, but your response seems a very strange, outright inappropriate response to a notification about a parent's death.
I have no doubt Cab will be very genteel about the entire matter. I just wondered if you realized what you quoted?
I did not, and now realize what I did. apologize wholeheartedly for that, I'll remove it now

Another Apronsong for my Mother, Blanche Medorah Cunningham Bowen
on the 107th Anniversary of her Birth (1913 February 06)
“Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also,
and he praises her.” Prov. 31:28 ESV
your eyes are looking back
a hundred years
although no longer can
they see my tears
you led me by the hand
when I was small
now I am vowed to lead
you, lest you fall
if I could smell the flow'rs again
that nestled on your garden path
and watch you wipe the bloody stain
from fingers stung by red-rose wrath!
old whispered moments
echo in your head
although your ears are but
as good as dead
the songs that once regaled
your lyric tongue
have ne'er my bosom failed
since days were young
you carried me o'er rocky trails
and saved me from dark, sultry nights
as strength today your bones curtails
i'll be your bedside candlelight
you sacrificed the milk
of tenderness
to woo my feet from paths
of recklessness
victim of hardship, you
have struggled long
yet facing woeful threat
with hopeful song
your nimble hands have fashioned dust
to consummate sufficiency
equal to life’s deep cut-and-thrust
how generous your clemency!

Thank you, Ahavati, for sharing my tribute by reposting it in this forum.
When I wrote Mama this birthday tribute, I had no idea it was going to be the last of its kind. Often, I wondered whether she would live to be 110 or some number like that. And yet, every time a birthday came, I worried about the possibility of it being the last.
Now she is gone, the place she occupied has become a gaping void. I am learning to manipulate void for the recreation of wonderful memories and pathways to the future.

Trying to catch up on some of the Dark Horse Podcasts with Dr's Brett Weinstein and Heather Heying this afternoon. One of the things I had seen on their social networking sites but didn't have enough information for was 'Articles of Unity 2020'. I didn't want to repost or suggest until I knew a little bit more about its purpose.
To be honest, I think I am very tired ( it's been a busy week ) today, so will defer any coherent opinion to later this week to give me more time to read through the site thoroughly. But I did want to post this here so you could familiarize yourself. This movement is particularly geared toward those NOT wanting to vote in the upcoming election as well as unifying all people.
https://twitter.com/ArticlesOfUnity
Site: https://www.articlesofunity.com/
Still reading about this. . .I haven't formed a personal opinion yet. Anyone else looked into it?
I'm still reading into it too.
Am I reading it correctly that the plan is to introduce two more candidates who regardless of which of them wins the election, will work as a team to ensure the bulk of Americans are satisfied?
If so, it certainly sounds plausible.
I'm all for voting for people who are qualified to do the job, but there is only 4 months left to introduce "the duo". They need to start campaigning yesterday and get the word about this option out into the mainstream.

You're very welcome, Cab. I was not fortunate enough to become my mother's friend, as she suffered throughout my junior high and high school years before passing in my senior year. I was still in an adolescent state of teen rebellion et al. I will always wonder what it would've been like to have become friends. You are very fortunate to have had that gift with her.

My thoughts are that they waited too long to spring this; however, the premise is a good one and puts the people in control over their own elections. I don't know if there's enough time to solidify it prior to the election. I'm going to finish reading through today, then think on it a bit before forming a solid opinion.

My concern is that people need time to become familiar with candidates and there's not much of it available to establish trust.
And the Internet will be on fire with last minute attempts to savage "the Duo" --- false information will be flying aplenty and need fact checking.
Yeah, at this point - today - without knowing anything more, my fear is that it *could* backfire. Unless its a real powerhouse of well known pair.

I think that's the point, but yes. . .it could draw votes away from the change so many are depending on. OTOH, if it does make a difference in votes, it could catapult it into the next election ( if the U.S. still exists by then - I don't say that lightly ).

It certainly is an intriguing and refreshing prospect. Anything to get people working together on the same page, count me in.

I agree, and I also agree with the two choices ( although I would've loved to have seen a woman - I do believe these centrists ( not in the current sense of the word ) ) are the best for now.
Admiral William H. McRaven - Centre-right

I just watched the video interview with The Hill ( posted on the site and below for convenience ). My concern was the ideology behind this movement. This video addressed that concern. Still more to research, but I am seriously considering supporting this.

Just finished reading up on Yang at Wikipedia as well.
I have to say, I'm very impressed with this Articles of Unity so far and all the thought being put into it.
I can't wait to hear about it in the mainstream news, prefferably as soon as possible.

I enjoy your posts, they're very enlightening.
Thank you, lepperochan; seems like I have a headstart in your even bothering to notice my posts.
I dont think the answer lies in looking back, certainly take lessons. but I dont think we should dwell on it so much (in my opinion). I think its wasting time and playing into the game which is occurring
Whichever way you take it, the backdoor of history will always be a step into the hallway of the present and a move toward the front door of the future. Were we to burn all our bridges behind us, who knows but that we would continue to make the same mistakes ad nauseam! Real change might come ONLY as a result of new generations seeing the atrocities of the past as repeated mistakes that must be stopped at once. Pain collects compound interest; its aggregate burdens can bring new Berlin Walls down. The Haitian Revolution (22 August 1791 to 1804) as well as the French Revolution (1787 to 1799) came with hindsight engineering foresight.
there's some things which have struck me from what you've been posting. you live in Jamacia, it's probably one of the most dangerous country for foreign people to go. not to mention the gang warfare, the car-jackins, and murder, addiction and abject poverty
Hearsay has given you the notion of heresy, with regard to things Jamaican. Yes, I live in Jamaica and am a "proud" (in terms of civic and patriotic loyalties) Jamaican. My country is certainly NOT a perfect haven. We are troubled by small enclaves of criminals, some of whom are disengaged deportees who were not born here, in the first place, or who grew up from childhood in foreign lands. Others belong to "inner-city" community gangs, driven by political affiliations, plain malice, or social reprisals.
Jamaica's GDP depends significantly on a successful tourism product. Up to 2019 August 31, we recorded 1.8 million in stopover arrivals, achieving a revenue inflow of US$2.39 billion, which was a 12 percent increase in revenue inflow over 2018.
Because of this, international microscopic eyes are always staring at Jamaica which, being a tiny island (4,240 sq mi), has nowhere to hide its sins. The annual crime rate here is probably less than what it is for a single state in a single month in the USA. I have to tune in to the evening news each day to find out whether and what crimes have been committed. I HAVE NEVER WITNESSED A CRIME, although I have lived in Kingston and Montego Bay, the so-called "crime hotspot."
The "abject poverty" I deny. But, like the US and China, certain African nations, and India, among others, we do have our challenges with the distribution of wealth. Through COVID-19, I have learnt that some US K-12 kids have nothing to eat unless they are in school. We have some of that too, but perhaps not so widespread. You would be surprised to know that Jamaica donates food and other aid to less fortunate countries -- especially in emergencies.
Our soldiers rush to the aid of other Caribbean nations when the situation warrants military aid. Every kind of architecture, technology, International relations, and bank account you can think of is found right here in Jamaica; and our citizens rank among the highest positions in diverse countries of the First World. You already know we dominate the sporting fraternity (particularly in track and field) and the music industry. WHO has also commended Jamaica for our strategic and successful handling of COVID-19.

Confirmed 809 (+35 undetermined)
Deaths = 10
Recovered = 678
Forgive me, but you could actually plan a beautiful vacation here and have nothing but a wonderful experience. In better times, I would probably say, why don't we have a DUP residency in Jamaica!
you strike me as well educated, third level at least. would it be fair to say you're privileged ?
My parents (Papa died at the age of 99 and now Mama at the age of 107.5 years) made education priority for their nine children. I AM IN NO WAY PRIVILEGED -- except to have had parents such as mine and to have been facilitated in taking advantage of learning and professional opportunities. I went to primary (elementary) school barefooted; my shoes were for church.
very sorry for the massive undersight. hope I caused no offence in your time of mourning.
Please rest assured, lepperochan, you have caused no disturbance. I realise that you did not realise the solemnity of my post. I am not offended; think no further of it.
