NOT INVESTIGATE2

This is one of a few songs that Gordon Lightfoot recorded but did not write. This song is also based on fact. "Susan" was Susan Brewer, a lady who opened her home to some of the "outlaw"   more...artists of the 60's.
On Susan's Floor (Don Quixote) 2:55
Like crippled ships that made it
Through a storm and finally reached a quiet shore
The homeless found a home on Susan's floor
Didn't feel so cold and tired
Stretched out before her fire
Rollin' smokes and drinkin' up her wine
And I remember candlelight
And singing 'til we could not sing no more
Then fallin' warm asleep on Susan's floor
Well now that my song is sweeter
I think I'd like to greet her
And thank her for the favors that she gave
A stranger I came
My head bowed in the rain to her door
I sat and sang my songs on Susan's floor
In the mornin' I'd go on
Buyin' kingdoms with my songs
Knowin' I'd be back in just a while
Warm in the sunlight of her smile
Well lots of time and songs have passed
I catch myself just looking back
Reliving all the wonder of those nights
That's where I'd be today
If I had only stayed one night more
And sang another song on Susan's floor
Like crippled ships that made it
Through a storm and finally reached a quiet shore
The homeless found a home on Susan's floor

Anyone who has camped or boated around lakes in Ontario or British Columbia, in fact all across North America, will have heard the haunting call of these amazing birds. This one is for Susan (Investigate2)   more...whose timely gift prompted me to refresh my knowledge and share a bit of what I found – the need for concern and more importantly, conservation for these beautiful birds.

Loons or “Divers” as they are also known are another species that are losing their fight for survival. Elevated mercury concentrations are consistent in more and more adult birds found dead each year. Sinkers used by fishermen, whether consumed by the fish or picked up from lake bottoms, break down in the loons and are absorbed into their systems, the end result being death from lead poisoning. Another factor in their declining numbers is our invasion on their nesting grounds. The nests, in which only two eggs are laid, are shallow and as close to the water’s edge as they can be. The wake from boats and jet skis washes many nests away – including the contents. Loons only nest once per season.

If you’re boating or fishing this summer, please be considerate. Use non-lead sinkers, and reduced your speed and wake near the shoreline and when approaching any loons on the water. Let’s do what we can to be able to enjoy the call of the loon for generations to come.  less

Fear 101: "The Three Levels of Fear"
An encapsulation of "Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway" by Susan Jeffers, the first of many books I'm reading on the nature of fear. Self-help stuff   more...is not my cup of tea- I tend to get what I need from the first two chapters and the rest is all fluff. I found the levels of fears to be comforting for some reason- perhaps at the thought of being able to categorize them, implying we had the upper hand and could shuffle them like a freakin' deck of cards.
I like the idea that if I could just believe that I can handle ANYthing that comes my way, then all other fears could be proven baseless. If I look at my life, I could see that and know it, yet those stubborn fears remain.
Curiosities now, as a result of seeing many of my fears crowded into "level 2"- the nature of ego.
I need to list my fears- the ones I'm aware of, anyway.  less
