Here's Something For Advent............
On Advent He Speaks by Don Iannone 2007
God speaks to us, always
Even when we think He’s not there
He speaks through everything
and nothing
Not always words
Other signs and wonders
His, a voice inside, coaxing us:
Be true to ourselves
Be true to Him
Honor the Essence, He says
That which comes before
Honor the Creator, the Holy One
Sometimes we want our words
to be His words
Sometimes there are no words
Just silence stilling our souls
Sometimes we forget He’s there
Just His presence, watching over us
Christmas nearing
He reminds us to commune
and shine in Christ’s love
In each breath, Advent
An eternal coming
Within His words and silence
God speaks to us, always
Even when we think He’s not there
He speaks through everything
and nothing
Not always words
Other signs and wonders
His, a voice inside, coaxing us:
Be true to ourselves
Be true to Him
Honor the Essence, He says
That which comes before
Honor the Creator, the Holy One
Sometimes we want our words
to be His words
Sometimes there are no words
Just silence stilling our souls
Sometimes we forget He’s there
Just His presence, watching over us
Christmas nearing
He reminds us to commune
and shine in Christ’s love
In each breath, Advent
An eternal coming
Within His words and silence

This email reached me..........
"Bobby S. Briggs, MSgt, USAF 823 ESFS/SFOC Flight Sergeant BAGHDAD AB, IRAQ
Tough times don't last... Tough people do.
My name is Gary Hogman. Some of you receiving this know me, some do not. My wife, Cindy, is 32 years old and has just been diagnosed 3 days ago with stage 4 cervical cancer and her chances for survival are very slim. She was pregnant with our second child and had miscarried recently at 3 months, and now we know why.
This is a request for you ........asking for prayer. The more people that pray for her to be healed, the better. ....... Please pray and ask everyone you know to pray for the HEALING of Cindy and the removal of all cancer in her body, so she may enjoy all that life has to offer, and to continue to be the wonderful mother to our 5-year-old son Michael. The power of Prayer is unsurpassed. I want the whole world to have her in their prayers the next few weeks. God will hear our cry. Please do not be offended by my plea.. This is only a request for your help. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading this and helping with our request for healing! No words can express the power we have when we each do a little to come together.
Regards, Cindy's husband - Gary
Thank you, and please send it to the far reaches of our world."

National Poetry Day 2008
inexplicable
I am.
A breath on the wind
Rain on the windowpane
Sunlight filtering across a dusty road
Waves breaking upon the shore.
Flesh and blood
Flood
The senses and the spirit.
I am.
I breathe
Feel, Think , Enjoy
Move My Being.
I
Am
An Enigma

Stewart Memorial Fountain
So here we have it - Mr Heron's roost = on the Stewart Memorial Fountain in Kelvingrove Park, Glasgow. This fountain was erected to celebrate the huge water project undertaken in the 1850's, bringing fresh water from Loch Katrine to the city - the basis of our continuing water supply here in Glasgow. Well - wha'd'ya know, eh !
(Tends to be difficult getting a photo of this without a seagull on 'er 'ead !!)

Cousin Heron in Dowanhill Park, Glasgow
Here's A Fine Red Herring for you - tho I've never before seen a herring with legs, wings and feathers !
This is the photo of the heron in Dowanhill Park I was sent and told you about yesterday - he is rather fine, isn't he - but he's NOT the one seeking identification in the current quiz !
Any other suggestions ?

Warm.......
Close - I don't know the Mr Heron of Peoples' Palace, so I shall look more thoroughly next time I'm there.
There was another suggestion by An Observer that our Mr Heron in question is in Dowanhill Park - (a picture was supplied, but I need to check if we may view him here) - and tho he looks like a very very close relative, 'tis not he of the Quiz.....
Any other suggestions ?
