Carpe Diem Acts of Devotion: St. Cuthbert's Way


approaching the end
of my time in this same place
I feel a bit lost
what awaits me at the end?
am I doomed to fail again?

~Cie~


Notes:
Wanna just enjoy the poem without more claptrap from me? 
Cool! Your bus stops here.
For those of you who want to read into it a bit deeper, let's keep on truckin!
Here is a poem created by my pal, Ghost Town Grover.



When folks think of Colorado
They think of Aspen and Vail and Boulder
They ain't thinking about the prairie
Or places like Ault and Grover

Well, you know that where you find Grover, Cactus Clem must be nearby, and he has a few lines to share too.


Y'all, when folks think about Colorado
They think of marijuana and not clover
It's true that clover won't get you high
But I love the Lone Prairie, and you oughta come over!

Thank you, Grover and Clem. That was, as the barista on Open Mic Night at the Buttniks Coffee House said, organic.

Honestly, though, the picture above reminded me of a scene like this one from the Colorado Lifestyle blog.


For me, the drive along the highway through the seemingly endless prairie is far from boring.
Soon I'll be living there.
The big stuff gets moved Friday.

  1. Good luck with your move....don't envy you.If I ever have to move again I am going to be a hermit like St Cuthbert and give all my stuff away:)

    1. Sorry because this is going to sound terribly gloomy, but Grover should be renamed Last Chance, because that's what this is. If it weren't for this house, my son and I would end up homeless and probably prematurely dead. Don't know if it would be premature for me as I am old and awful and have outlived my usefulness, but it would for him. This house is our last chance.

  2. Think positive and give it your best shot. Things will work out...you'll see !

    1. I'm far too much of a realist to be an optimist. However, I am also one of the least negative members of my family. I'm a pragmatist and a fair bit of a cynic. Conversely, I also keep an open mind.
      Living under the rule of the Great Orange Butt Plug, the cynic levels are way up these days.

We love comments, with three caveats.
Be cool, Fool.
Don't be rude, Dude.
Don't be a prick, Slick.
That's all, Saul.
I try to get comments published as quickly as possible. I don't always reply to comments on my blog, but I do try to visit as many people as possible when I participate in blog hops and I share links where possible to Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and such so others can discover your work. I do read and appreciate your comments.
