Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

For the miners, and the Poles

Jars of Clay are wonderful, but I'd like to hear Dylan do this one with Paul Simon:

Great vid BD. Every now and then something hits that makes me feel very grateful. Your selection gave me a sense of peace. Thank you.

Angels blowing bubbles. The whole Pantheon is a little larger now than it was 2 minutes ago. The universe too.

It's a better place.

Thank you.

bless you, BD, for being unafraid of plain old Gospel sentiment --myself i go in circles when i try to think it through, but put it with music and images of angels and, well, i get a glimpse, i get a glimpse.

The closing image, the spinning dancer in silhouette, do you remember a long time ago posting --not the whole image in the vid, but just the dancer against a blank background? The text was, "which way is she turning?" --iirc, some could see her change direction, could 'make' her change direction in mid-spin, could make an optical illusion, while others never could. I think we put it in the comments as being some sort of left-brain / right-brain flexibility. been awhile --back when i first started reading Maggie's Farm.

BTW, the old gent @ 3:55 - 4:00 --i really identify with the old feller, and have, ever since November 2008 election day.

Under 'too much information', heh, the image @ 4:10 - 4:15, the little child angel leaving through the gate, leaving to Fly Away, well that's where my eyeballs decided to just go on and spring a little leak. Silly old fool.
