Beams of Light will fill your head
Barnlight catbeams moonbeams couchlight
Dogwalkin on the Catwalk...
All the world surrounds me,
And my feet are on the ground.
I'm a very lonely man,
Doing what I can,
All the world astounds me,
And I think I understand.
That we're going,
To keep growing,
Wait and see.
When all the stars are falling down,
Into the sea and on the ground,
And angry voices carry on the wind.
A beam of light will fill your head,
And you'll remember what's been said,
By all the good men this world's ever known.
Another man is what you'll see,
Who looks like you and looks like me,
And yet somehow he will not feel the same.
His life caught up in misery,
He doesn't think like you and me,
'Cos he can't see what you and I can see.
When all the stars are falling down,
Into the sea and on the ground,
And angry voices carry on the wind.
A beam of light will fill your head,
And you'll remember what's been said,
By all the good men this world's ever known.
Another man is what you'll see,
Who looks like you and looks like me,
And yet somehow he will not feel the same,
His life caught up in misery,
He doesn't think like you and me, A melancholy man.
'Cos he can't see what you and I can see. A very lonely man.
When all the stars are falling down,
Into the sea and on the ground,
And angry voices carry on the wind.
A beam of light will fill your head,
And you'll remember what's been said,
By all the good men this world's ever known.
Another man is what you'll see,
Who looks like you and looks like me,
And yet somehow he will not feel the same.
His life caught up in misery,
He doesn't think like you and me,
'Cos he can't see what you and I can see.
Dogwalkin on the Catwalk...
Lyrics Melancholy Man moody blues
I'm a melancholy man.
That's what I am,All the world surrounds me,
And my feet are on the ground.
I'm a very lonely man,
Doing what I can,
All the world astounds me,
And I think I understand.
That we're going,
To keep growing,
Wait and see.

Love to Ian
I saw my Friend
(some many months had passed
since last we’d shared a beer
since last we’d shared a beer
and something in these Flint Hills
of an evening
of an evening
full of setting orange sun and owls’ calls
I took his shoulder to cry upon
(standing in the eastside market
holding our season’s best cantaloupes,
“the first ones that really taste like cantaloupe”
he said
before remarking that
holding our season’s best cantaloupes,
“the first ones that really taste like cantaloupe”
he said
before remarking that
I probably didn’t know
what kind of spring it had been
That night I held my Love
(he held me tightly too, as we held our Friend in our heart and realized
(he held me tightly too, as we held our Friend in our heart and realized
we will never know a spring like that
losing a son
losing a child
Pain pushes you off of the earth
(lifts
you away
everyone
left below in the fluff
everyone
left below in the fluff
Grief unveiled
encircles you
encircles you
you follow, spiraling
like
a
hawk
rising on the thermals
God calling
(We loved our friend that night,
standing in the Zeandale kitchen
where Dave had
graced us
with his real good self and his two Little Ones.
graced us
with his real good self and his two Little Ones.
The love in our prayers—
may it help you to stand.)
may it help you to stand.)

Title IX: Sexual Assault on Campus, Advocacy, and the Perils of Reporting
Yikes! Everything is changed.
I am going to spell it out. [tomorrow]
But first, let's see what people are saying:
http://www.publicintegrity.org/investigations/campus_assault/articles/entry/1946/
includes video from crime victim and excerpt: "...Unsatisfied with the school’s response, Dunn hoped to find an ally in the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights. The office, referred to as OCR, enforces Title IX, a federal law requiring “prompt and equitable“ action in response to reports like Dunn’s. The statute is intended to protect students’ right to an education without the hostility of sexual harassment or assault. But in a decision that left her feeling betrayed again, the enforcement agency said it found “insufficient evidence” that the University of Wisconsin had been less than prompt. ..The university’s explanation for taking nine months was “reasonable” and it took “interim steps” including a no-contact order “to protect and prevent harassment” of Dunn, OCR found. The school ultimately cited a lack of eyewitnesses and the role of alcohol in deciding not to file disciplinary charges against the accused student.

Confidentiality and advocacy are irrevocably changed.
((New National Guidelines have been implemented here at K-State for responding to reports of rape and all sexual assault. The new guidelines include sexual assault as a severe level of sexual harassment under Title IX Regulations. This means that reports of sexual assault must be investigated by the university to a degree that protects other students from individuals who may pose a threat. Here at K-State, reports of Title IX violations may be made at the K-State Women’s Center in Holton Hall. The Women’s Center works with the Office of Affirmative Action in Anderson Hall to ensure swift, discreet, and equitable action in these criminal complaints. ))

WORDS AND GUITAR MUSIC HERE
Come down off your throne and leave your body alone
Somebody must change
You are the reason I've been waiting so long
Somebody holds the key
Well, I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time
And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home
Come down on your own and leave your body alone
Somebody must change
You are the reason I've been waiting all these years
Somebody holds the key
But I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time
Oh, and I'm wasted and I can't find my way home
But I can't find my way home
But I can't find my way homeBut I can't find my way home
But I can't find my way home
Still I can't find my way home
And I ain't done nothing wrong
But I can't find my way home

Migrating Geese in 2012 Over the Flint Hills
Too Beautiful. Early morning; in one video below you can see the ones heading west meeting up with those returning east after encountering hunters.
Many migrating geese videos at my youtube channel, 77katydid.
More Geese click HERE http://marysbeagooddogblog.blogspot.com/2010/12/massive-snow-geese-and-canadians.html

the ones heading back east have been shot at. I think they are making a higher pitched honk.
