Ok Mark, I was a little easy on you with the flowers, but what's up with the bird!! Has Mark Wilson and HWC gone to the birds?? Or all you all becoming flower children? I appreciate you my friend. Just having a little fun. WAR
Actually, here's the story. I was up really early having my quiet time, and then I looked out the open window and saw a chickadee -- just a few inches from me. but, unfortunately, in my efforts to look closer, I startled the little guy and he started chirping at me, like he was angry. Then, I thought, maybe he was up early trying to have some solitude too!
If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema
