Poppy Girl Dreamin' ~ 11:11 (2008)
TimeToShine
Dear Gaians,
I am celebrating my Armistice birthday: 11:11
You have to know I was born on 'Armistice Day'. You have to know that it was instilled in me; it was a very very special day; my mum always said I was their Poppy Girl..(the peoples' hope; the Poppy; the symbol out of that bloody 'First World War').
They never said the Armistice broke down; they never said it didn't work out, they never said it was a day of broken promises. I received by osmosis that this was a day of Great Promise. And that is how I held it, all the days of my life.
Then one day I met my dear Eleanor, who entered her 101st year in 2008 and she told me; Yes! we danced in the streets all night on Armistice Day 1918.. and truly believed it was The War to End All Wars...
When Eleanor relayed this seminal experience, she always had a radiance about her and I knew that it was the experience of Armistice that defined her life, the experience of Armistice that empowered her, not what happened to the construct that was 'Armistice Day' in the realm of political maneuvering.
Barack Obama; President-Elect... do you know, we danced in the streets; jubilant..; all ages, unprecedented..; every bit as momentous as Armistice, every bit as precious.. We did it, we did it, I say.. Oh relief, utter, utter relief. You always said "Only Love Prevails", and I said it too, but I had no idea until this weight was lifted, just what we had all lived under... Only Love Prevails... Oh blessed Remembering.
In the end, we delivered the Roses, thank God, we delivered the Roses;..:"Our lives shall not be sweated from birth until life closes; Hearts starve as well as bodies; give us bread, but give us roses..!
It's my birthday.. and I chose to cycle downtown with my dear Ryan and see the movie "W". It was perfect; properly entertaining, as astonishing to me in a way as our British movie, "The Queen" (these characters are ALL still in office - unprecedented!!!) AND, cycling home, we are just saying ... utter utter relief, that it's over, that we can say, they were characters in a play, and it's OVER.
We are released.
We are ENORMOUSLY RELIEVED
Some are cathartic.
No wonder...
MY BIRTHDAY PRESENT. YOU ARE THE GIFT... OF A LIFETIME!!!!!
Thank God for Change Agents Everywhere...

It is indeed the truest of profundities, when a nation sighs its releif enmass, by DANCING IN THE STREETS!!!!
AND FOR ALL the eleven eleven mysticism…OH MY!!! IT is happening to so many! (REMEMBER WHEN IT WAS THE ELEVENTH HOUR!!!! OVER AND OVER) notw we have rolled on up to the SOUNDING OF THE BELLS! The great turning of the new form…a TIME when the TWELFTH HOUR MEANT THE ARRIVAL ONTO our small shore, to be protected from the storms of bad world economic and human heart and earth soul environment management…NOON and NEW DAY at the same time! Midnight yet a NEW MORNING…
we have held our selves with baited breath for just long enough…in our BEING we can now “sit back and let Barrack” then we can take our local reigns and let Obbamma be our MAmma for a while, and when MICHELLE gets her wings full of flight…LOOK OUT
YO MAMMA MAY NEVER HAVE SEEN what could occurr in the whitehouse THIS SEASON!!!!! hehehehehehe
hope, faith, trust…all the good things that good people have earned as much as deserve simply for the nature of loving without conditions!
Speaking more of 11:11 - I went in to my favorite village store (Staff of Life) the morning after my birthday, and one of my favorite cashiers said “Something really cool happened yesterday” (not knowing it was my birthday!!)… She said; I came in for my shift, my drawer was # 11. As I opened up my cash drawer I realized it was 11:11am. When I rang up my first customer, it came to…. $11.11..
Then I told her yes, and it was my birthday!!!
