Magpie Tales #50

Directions in Life

seems so simple but later

will haunt me

Rules, Regulations and Laws

A Silly Law in Hood River, Oregon

Juggling is strictly prohibited

Without a license.

What? Are you kidding?

It doesn't make sense.

This is silly and who wrote this law?

That idiot unable to catch a chain saw.

Good thing these guys were in Portland, Oregon

and then last but NOT least:

Aunt Alice, Aunt Nell and Elise

Three Extraordinary Women

Ignore your age

Remember your youth and play

as you did before

~~~~~~~~~

My Grandmother Elise was born in 1893 and was an

amazing woman. A child who endured great hardships;

her parents divorced and her father took her from

her mother and put her in an orphanage.

Her mother rescued her and they had to make their way

cross country on foot to a safe haven with family.

She grew up with her cousins Nell and Alice.

Married at 22 and a widow with two sons at age 26.

The photographs I have of her as a young woman

and a mother only show her delight in life as she takes

her children cross country skiing or camping during rare vacations.

She worked all her life for the same company and when

she was forced to retire at age 65 they had to hire

two people to replace her. She died at age 96.

Body Language

The tilt of the head

Hand pushing away

Toe tapping instead

Of walking away

The silent whisper

of a body motion

Evokes a glimmer

In hopes deep ocean

Lake Oswego Library Event

Four dancers in the library stacks?

Our library sponsors all sorts of afternoon

events ranging from poetry readings to dance performances.

A few days ago the BodyVox dancers came and

amazed all of us with their grace, style and creativity.

Here is a link to a youtube film that says so much

more than just one photograph.

Journey and the Road Ahead

Our Journey Together

Do we take the road less travelled

The fork in the road that's only graveled

Or do we take the super highways

Ignoring those intriguing secret byways

We'll take the wiggly road that's off the map

Rather than drive through life just taking a nap.

The Games We Play- Magpie 47

There once was a game called twister

That I would play for hours with my sister

We would contort our limbs about

Turning this way and inside out

Until all of our joints had blisters
