Poppies at Pt. Vicente

Lookin' for a drink!

I like Easter because...

...it is Springtime's Halloween.

CStP's Angel on the Bay

~ On Angel Island ~

Clio, history's muse, lived on quahogs and taters through her early years
and set the zendo bells to rhyme with
sunrise and art.
Away from Maine,
she does as she pleases,
saving lost slabcaptains and buffers
from electrophoresis.

I will be your lastyear's Easter wheelbarrow

Patti Torrey singing at the Home Pond: Battle Mountain Ranch

20x16 inches, acrylic on canvas, 2004.

Everybody's wonderin' what and where they all came from.

Everybody's worryin' 'bout where they're gonna go when the whole thing's done.

But no one knows for certain and so it's all the same to me.

I think I'll just let the mystery be.

Some say once you're gone you're gone forever, and some say you're gonna come back.

Some say you rest in the arms of the Saviour if in sinful ways you lack.

Some say that they're comin' back in a garden, bunch of carrots and little sweet peas.

I think I'll just let the mystery be.

Everybody's wonderin' what and where they all came from.

Everybody's worryin' 'bout where they're gonna go when the whole thing's done.

But no one knows for certain and so it's all the same to me.

I think I'll just let the mystery be.

Some say they're goin' to a place called Glory and I ain't saying it ain't a fact.

But I've heard that I'm on the road to purgatory and I don't like the sound of that.

Well, I believe in love and I live my life accordingly.

But I choose to let the mystery be.

Everybody's wonderin' what and where they all came from.

Everybody's worryin' 'bout where they're gonna go when the whole thing's done.

But no one knows for certain and so it's all the same to me.

I think I'll just let the mystery be.

I think I'll just let the mystery be.
