"SMILES AND TEARS"

AN ESCAPE INTO THE WORLD OF FREEDOM, WHERE

TIME NEVER ENDS, AND

MOMENTS BECOME TREASURES,

NEVER DISSOLVING

INTO THE ENEMIES OF

YOUTH;

ALWAYS ALIVE,

TAKING GOOD WITH BAD,

TEARS WITH SMILES,

PAIN WITH STIMULATION,

ENJOYING ALL CONTACT

WITH EVERY LOVING

BROTHER AND SISTER,

MOTHER AND FATHER

SENT BY GOD.

"BARREN"

FULL AND RICH SOIL,

FERTILE,

ABUNDANT,

ALIVE,

UNEASILY POUNCED UPON

BY THE EVIL HEELS OF

VILLAINOUS RIVALRIES,

JUST LAYING HELPLESSLY BARREN,

WHILE DESTRUCTION SMOTHERS

ALL THE WONDERFUL RICHNESS

OF THE LAND'S

BEAUTIFUL TREASURES.

"PASSING NOTIONS"

PASSING NOTIONS OF

CLOCKS TICKING;

SWAYING SOUNDS OF

NEVER-ENDING REPITITION,

IMPATIENTLY AWAITING

THE JUDGMENTAL CALL,

WONDERING IF AN

APPROPRIATE GUIDANCE IN LIFE

IS NEAR,

AWAY,

OR WITHIN REACH;

HOPING FOR SHALLOW PROSPECTS

OF CONTACT WITH

GOD'S CHILDREN OF

THE LAND.

MAY 3, 1979

"EYES OF THE LORD"

ON THE RIM OF GOD'S SMILE,

THE AIR OF LOVE

ASTONISHES THE MINDS

OF THE WEARY TRAVELLER

WAITING HIS JUDGEMENT DAY,

THINKING ABOUT FUTURE PROSPECTS,

SEEN THROUGH

THE EYES OF THE LORD.


A SENSE OF DIRECTION,

ENCOURAGED TO

TAKE THE PATH THAT

RESPONDS TO

THE PERSONAL ANNOINTMENT

OF THE SOUL

POSSESSED BY

GOD'S LOVE.

MAY 3, 1979
"FULL CHILD"
VISIONS OF CHILDREN FORTHCOMING,
MAKES A MONSTER WONDER ABOUT
AN EXISTENCE OF FULL
CHILD-LIKE
PERSISTENCE,
ENCOMPASSING A WOMB OF
TENDER REPITITIOUS
FLOWING.

THE TENSION BLOWS THE MIND
OF FAMILY MATTERS
AWAITING THE GLORIOUS MOMENT
OF THE DAY THE NEW
BROTHER OF THE WORLD
REACHES TO GRASP
AT THE THORNY SIDE
OF THE MAN ON
THE BED OF NAILS.

MAY 2, 1979
"IMAGES OF YOUTH"
IMAGES OF YOUTH
MAY HOUND THE SKULL
OF TRAGIC MOTIONS,
THROUGH ETERNAL AGE-OLD PROPHECY.
THINGS BLOTTED DOWN BY
PASSING MOVEMENTS
OF SILVER AND GOLD
DRAGONS,
BREATHING GASSY FIRES,
GOUGING EVERY PARTICLE
OF HOPE,
LEAVING BROWN STAINED REMNANTS
OF YELLOW AND RED
LAKES AND STREAMS.
TODAY HAS COME AND GONE
LIKE PASSING WAVES OF WATER,
SPURNED BY IMMORTAL SOULS
SEEN THROUGH
IMAGES OF YOUTH.

MAY 1, 1979
"NATURAL LIFE"
SUSAN WAS THERE,
SMILING EVER SO BEAUTIFULLY.
GLANCING THROUGH
TRANSPARENT PANES OF
NEVER ENDING LINES,
PEARLED WONDERS OF
LOVING KINDNESS SHOWED
ONE THROUGH THE DOOR.
SHE SEES A SPIRITUAL MOMENT
IN EVERY PARTICLE
OF MOTION,
ALIVE IN HER LOVELY WORLD
OF HOPE,
LIFE,
NATURAL ENLIGHTENMENT,
THROUGH PEACEFUL THOUGHTS
OF HAPPY TIMES TO COME.

MAY 1, 1979

"GENERATIONS EVERLASTING"
KNOWING HOW TO LIVE
CAN BE AN ENVIOUS
FACT THAT NO ONE CAN
SWAT AWAY FROM YOU.
IT IS THERE ALWAYS THROUGH
THE WEATHERED STORM OF
THE AFTERNOON,
OR THE QUIET PEACEFULNESS
OF MORNINGS ABOUNDING
WITH MUSICAL WINGS.
BEING SILENT WITH LOUD COMPANIONS
MAY BRING ABOUT
SOLITUDE
THAT WILL BE GREATLY
CHERISHED THROUGH
GENERATIONS EVERLASTING.

APRIL 29 1979-MAY 1 1979
"BE GENTLE"
BE KIND TO GENTLE ANIMALS
OF THE EASTERN SHORE;
THEIR LOVE HAS BEEN SHARED
EQUALLY AMONGST THE FLOWERS
OF TIME.
SEEK THE PAST EVENTS OF
GLAD MELLOW PASSERSBY,
AND NEVER SEE THE
WORLD AS A PLACE
WHERE PEASANTS
TEND THEIR FLOCK OF SHEEP.

WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 30 1983
MY BIG THRILL FOR TODAY WAS GONG TO PINDER'S GROSVENOR FOR STAMPS, ENVELOPES AND A NEWSPAPER. I DID MAIL MY OVERSEAS CARDS TO FRIENDS AND RELATIVES IN
ENGLAND, WEST GERMANY, AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND. ALSO, I WROTE OUT HALF OF MY CARDS TO FRIENDS AND RELATIVES IN SUCH PARTS OF CANADA AS OTTAWA, TORONTO,
RICHMOND, EDMONTON AND WINNIPEG AS WELL AS SASKATOON. IN THE EVENING I RELAXED AS USUAL (NO POINT IN FIGHTING THE SNOWS AGAIN!). DID SOME READING OF
"ROLLING STONE" MAG, WATCHED "DYNASTY" AND HOPPED INTO BED!


 

TUESDAY NOVEMBER 29 1983
BLAND IS THE DIFINITIVE WORD TO DESCRIBE TODAY. AFTER DOING DELIVERIES, I REMAINED INDOORS, WATCHING SOME TV AND RELAXING AND ENJOYING LIFE FOR A CHANGE. IN
THE EVENING, I WATCHED "REMINGTON STEELE" AND THE "FIFTH ESTATE." THOUGHT FOR TODAY: ENJOY LIFE; TAKE THINGS COOL, BE GOOD TO YOURSELF, BE THANKFUL FOR ALL THE
WONDERFUL THINGS IN YOUR LIFE, AND BE GLAD TO BE ALIVE. NATALIE WOOD, WE LOVE YOU FOREVER (NOV. 29, 1981-1983).

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 28 1983
RATHER SNOWY AND BLOWY BUT DELIVERIES WERE MANAGEABLE. BUNDLES HAD 40 IN THEM, SO AIRPORT/AZTEK GIFTS WERE DELIVERED LATE. BOUGHT A FEW CHRISTMAS ODDS 'N ENDS
& STAMPS (EXPENSIVE!) FOR OVERSEAS & U.S. CARDS. READ ALL ABOUT ARGOS GREY CUP VICTORY IN STAR-PHOENIX AND GLOBE & MAIL. WATCHED "DAYS OF OUR LIVES," "GENERAL
HOSPITAL" AND "ALL MY CHILDREN" WITH LIZ, LIKE & LAURA, & LYNN & DEVON--VERY EXCEPTIONAL PLOTS--BELIEVE IT OR NOT! LISTENED TO SOME MELISSA MANCHESTER AND RELAXED
BEFORE RETIRING--TRES BON!
 

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 27 1983
WOKE UP EARLY--4:00 A.M. WITH THE DIARREHA AGAIN! I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG--GUESS I'LL HAVE TO GO TO THE DOCTOR AND GET CHECKED OUT!
IT'S GREY CUP DAY TODAY--AND THE TORONTO ARGONAUTS WON IT WITH A LAST MINUTE TOUCHDOWN FOR AN 18-17 VICTORY OVER THE B.C. LIONS AT B.C. PLACE.
QUITE EXCITING. THAT WAS THE BIG THRILL FOR THE DAY, BESIDES WATCHING SOME NFL ACTION (NEW ORLEANS & MINNESOTA), AND TAPING SOME SONGS FROM THE WEEKLY
TOP 30 (CHAB) INCLUDING "WHY ME?" BY IRENE CARA. HAD A NICE PHONE CHAT WITH DAVE & LARRY (WORKAHOLICS) BEFORE GOING TO SLEEP!

SATURDAY NOVEMBER 26 1983
QUITE A QUIET DAY, WITH LATE DELIVERIES UNTIL ABOUT 10:00 AM.  TRIED PHONING DAVE ALL DAY, BUT NO RESPONSE.  SAW LARRY BRIEFLY IN SASKATOON INN, BUT NOT MUCH
CHANCE FOR EVEN BRIEF CONVERSATION.  ESTABLISHED A BOND WITH THE TV IN THE AFTERNOON---WATCHED THE GREY CUP PARADE FROM VANCOUVER! LARGE
SASKATCHEWAN CONTINGENT EVIDENT IN THE RAINY STREETS. READ THE REMAINDER OF MY JESSICA SAVITCH "ANCHOR WOMAN" NOVEL BEFORE RETIRING TO BED ON A FROSTY
EVENING.

FRIDAY NOVEMBER 25 1983
FINALLY, I GOT BACK TO EATING AGAIN, AFTER BECOMING OBSESSED WITH LOSING ALL THAT WEIGHT; OH WELL, IT CHANGED MY LIFE IN A MORE HEALTHY DIRECTION---
VERY IMPORTANT!  DID MY DAILY NEWSPAPER BUYING AND SOME GROCERIES AT CUMBERLAND SQUARE. SLEPT FOR A WHILE---CALLED MARGE, AND HAD A LOVELY VISIT
WITH HER AND JIM, AS WELL AS SHAWN AND LORNA IN THE EVENING.  WE WATCHED END OF "MAE WEST" & WATCHED SOME "DALLAS" AND "FALCON CREST" AT HOME. SLEPT
WELL, AND FELT LIFE IS GOOD ONCE AGAIN!!

THURSDAY NOVEMBER 24 1983
MAINLY A DAY A RECOUPING AND REGROUPING.  DELIVERIES WENT RELATIVELY WELL WITH A LIGHT SPRINKLING OF SNOW TO CONTEND WITH.  BESIDES GOING OUT TO BUY
DANIELLE'S CHRISTMAS PRESENT (STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE VANITY), IT WAS PRIMARILY A DAY TO RELAX AND GET OVER THE STOMACH FLU, WHICH GAVE ME HORRENDOUS
DIARREHA FOR THE COURSE OF THE AFTERNOON-EVENING.  ENJOYED AMERICAN THANKSGIVING PROGRAMS ON TV---MACY'S PARADE NFL GAMES---ST. LOUIS-DALLAS-
"SNEAK PREVIEWS", "KNOTS LANDING", AND "20/20", WHICH INCLUDED AN INTERVIEW WITH LINDA RONSTADT & HER "WHAT'S NEW" ALBUM---ALRIGHT!

WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 23 1983
FOLLOWING A WHOLE 2 HOURS OF SUNSHINE TUESDAY AFTERNOON, MORE CLOUDS AND SNOW GREETED US TODAY!  BUT, IT TURNED OUT TO BE A GOOD DAY TO GET
TOGETHER WITH FAMILY.  I PICKED MOM UP FROM WORK, AND WE WENT TO DEBI'S PLACE (VIA MCDONALD'S) FOR SUPPER.  MOM BABYSAT DANIELLE AND JACLYN---
WE PLAYED GOLF GAMES & E.T. GAMES FOR A WHILE---WENT HOME AND WATCHED BOB HOPE SPECIAL WITH DIONNE WARWICK, BONNIE TYLER, VANESSA WILLIAMS
AND IRENE CARA, AS WELL AS SOME "DYNASTY."  WENT & PICKED MOM UP WITH MUCH DISCUSSION WITH DEBI ABOUT NUCLEAR. ALRIGHT!

TUESDAY NOVEMBER 22 1983
THIS DAY IS DEFINITELY DEDICATED TO THE LATE GREAT JOHN F. KENNEDY!  FOLLOWING MY DELIVERIES IN THE SNOW, I RUSHED HOME AROUND THE CIRCLE, TO
FIND A MEMORIAL MASS ON TV, FOR JFK.  CAROLINE & TED BOTH GAVE FINE TALKS ABOUT JFK'S LIFE. (20TH ANNIVERSARY OF HIS DEATH).  AFTERNOON
WAS ILL-TIME AGAIN (MORE STOMACH FLU).  THEN, A VERY IMPORTANT EVENING OF TV WATCHING.  SAW BETTE M. ON "ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT" AS WELL AS
SHIRLEY MACLAINE.  THEN, SAW PT 3 OF "KENNEDY" (BEGINNING & ENDING), SAW PBS DOCUMENTARY ON KENNEDY PRESS CONFERENCES, AND PART OF FIFTH
ESTATE (KENNEDY CONSPIRACY).  JFK FOREVER!!

MONDAY NOVEMBER 21 1983
THE EARLY PARTS OF THE DAY WERE FINE, DESPITE A CONSISTENT SNOWFALL ALL THE TIME. MY DELIVERIES WENT WELL DESPITE IT BEING MONDAY.  STILL
FELT SLIGHTLY ILL (LEFT OVER FROM SATURDAY'S FLU).  IN THE EVENING, CURLED UP DOWNSTAIRS, AND WATCHED THE TUBE---"COMING ATTRACTIONS", NEWS,
"ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT" (UPSTAIRS); LISTENED TO TOP 20 COUNTDOWN ON CKOM---TAPED SUCH SONGS AS "LOVE IS A BATTLEFIELD" BY PAT BENATAR, AND
"SAT IT ISN'T SO" BY DARYL HALL & JOHN OATES.  FOUGHT WITH M & DAD FOR A BIT.  WATCHED PART 2 OF "KENNEDY".  AFTER THAT THRILLING (???) DAY, I FELL
ASLEEP.

SUNDAY NOVEMBER 20 1983

SNOW WAS THERE TO GREET US IN THE MORNING, AND CONTINUED THROUGH THE

EVENING HOURS. (VERY LIGHT SNOW, THOUGH!) MADE A TYPICAL SUNDAY TREK

TO THE BOOK NOOK AND TEA ROOM AT CUMBERLAND SQUARE. ENJOYED

 BROWSING THROUGH SUCH PUBLICATIONS AS THE EDMONTON JOURNAL AND

 LATEST EDITION OF MAD MAGAZINE.  THE ARGOS WON THE EASTERN FINAL IN TO.

  B.C. LIONS FINALLY WON THE WEST OVER WINNIPEG.  WATCHED THE

EXCEPTIONAL MOVIE "THE DAY AFTER,"WHICH STIRRED MUCH DEBATE AND

REFLECTED A FRIGHTENED MOOD CURRENTLY ABOUT NUCLEAR DEVASTATION.

 DISCUSSED THIS WITH DAVID ON THE PHONE FOR 30 MIN. AFTER.
