An Irish Airman Foresees His Death

I know that I shall meet my fate
Somewhere among the clouds above;
Those that I fight I do not hate,
Those that I guard I do not love;
My country is Kiltartan Cross,
My countrymen Kiltartan’s poor,
No likely end could bring them loss
Or leave them happier than before.
Nor law, nor duty bade me fight,
Nor public men, nor cheering crowds,
A lonely impulse of delight
Drove to this tumult in the clouds;
I balanced all, brought all to mind,
The years to come seemed waste of breath,
A waste of breath the years behind
In balance with this life, this death.

DREAMS

by Mary Oliver

 

All night

the dark buds of dreams

open

richly.

 

In the center

of every petal

is a letter,

and you imagine

 

if you could only remember

and string them all together

they would spell the answer.

It is a long night,

 

and not an easy one—

you have so many branches,

and there are diversions—

birds that come and go,

 

the black fox that lies down

to sleep beneath you,

the moon staring

with her bone-white eye.

 

Finally you have spent

all the energy you can

and you drag from the ground

the muddy skirt of your roots

 

and leap awake

with two or three syllables

like water in your mouth

and a sense

 

of loss—a memory

not yet of a word,

certainly not yet the answer—

only how it feels

 

when deep in the tree

all the locks click open,

and the fire surges through the wood,

and the blossoms blossom.

the centre cannot hold…

The Second Coming

-william butler yeats

 

TURNING and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

You can grow your own way…
I think we buy local and organic vegetables for a few reasons:
One: We want to know where our food comes from
Two: We want to know that it isn’t genetically modified or that it contains harmful pesticides
Three: We want to support local farms and lessen our impact on our environment
Four: We want to eat the tastiest, healthiest food we can, and make sure our loved ones eat the same way too
Well there’s a new service that can help you to have all of these things by growing your own. Imagine being able to pick vegetables to cook and eat when they are at their best and to grow them on your own terms. www.myveggieplot.com services Toronto and the GTA to help design small and large gardens in your own back yard. Don’t have a back yard? Try planting pots. They’ll show you how. Check them out.

Project X : mini review

If you’ve watched the trailer you know what you’re about to see. 3 unpopular high school teens, parents leaving for a weekend trip and a house ripe for the most destructive house party ever captured by a shaky handheld camera.

What you don’t expect is just how far this party escalates and the number of “oh shit!” moments peppered with some laughs that carry the audience on a train ride to some unexpected dark places, keeping the genre fresh with a more realistic and less Disney like conclusion.

I half expected to hate the film and there are those who will but the bastard child of Superbad and Cloverfield works on most levels if you let it. It’s a ride you want to stay on till the wheels fall off and do they ever.

Project X hits theaters March 2nd.
