Lovely the romance you have placed into this \'bringing home the coals\'.
In simpler, more tragic times where actual survival to a natural death were an accomplishment in itself then coal and its comforting benefit must have been a huge plus for any social grouping. Those days before it\'s energy was released to power the industrial revolution.
Nowadays it\'s so easy to see just the negative pollutant aspect of coals. But as a lad it was one of my duties to keep the coal scuttle full and gave me the familiarity of chopping up large hunks of coal and yes the silvery gloss of a fresh cut piece along its grain. Often there would be the golden traces of what i took to be iron pyrite \'fools gold\' running along the grain too.
Hey, thank you for this opportunity to recall my early coal scuttle days and cold winter evening visits to the coal shed. Mom never made me do the frosty morning duties... a tribute to motherly love.
Amazing the associated memories which come to light when you do this romantic reflections thing again Fay. Very enjoyable little daydream i entered there.

ANGELA HERE FAY (7:30 am Wednesday) - Just getting ready to dispence some TLC to my needy & expectant Clients ! They call me *The Angel from the NORTH !* Your MANTRA was an encouragement ! Because of the RESTORATIVE nature of my WORK - Self awareness & self esteem is essential ! If I dont respect myself I cant have respect for others ~ OK ! On my way to work I will repeat -
I am a Star - Important - Special
Worth more than I thought !
I came here from afar (11,500 miles)
Specifically - to heal the scars of
Hurting Poeple in New Zealand
With nothing but LOVE and my Healing Hands !
Thanks FAY this really gave me a new perspective on *ME and My very rewarding JOB* Im really crying now - SORRY - and I will be able to dispense even more LOVE today - AMEN Thanks for caring !
Blessings & Peace & Joy

Why did I lie to myself, and to everyone, when I said \'I\'m an excellent singer?!\' It won\'t heal any scars, only open new wounds of torment! heehee.

What beautiful thoughts.
Upon reflection you do help heal scars (just as it says on your tin) insofar as you show us the beauty of this place we inhabit with your well chosen weave of words especially seducing us into looking deeper at the dawn of each day. Pray that the dawns revelation shall remain in our heart the day long.
Yes the cosmos or universe does pledge support once we gain the perspective of where we fit into it.

ANGELA HERE (9:30am Saturday - AMEN) Forest Fires are often a natural phenomena and provided there is no loss of Animal or Human Life (or property) its is cathartic for the Land and it all ends well ! However ther are additionl factors today (21st C !)
1. These FIRES are increasingly being caused (accidently or directly) by Human Activity these are the most destructive !
2. Mr Trumps Myth ~ GLOBAL WARMING is another anti-environmental cause of Forest Fires. The ground & trees are bone dry which can cause the Fires which are so intense the destroy lots of wild life and human habitations and sometimes PEOPLE ! You have aptly versed a very horrible & increasing phenomina ! We should be proud of all the School Kids who have been on the Streets today waking up us Oldies ! Because they will still be alive in 2090 and suffering for our inaction ! Thanks for shaing & caring !
Blessings & Peace & Joy

whether a natural disaster, or of mans making, such events are devastating to our world in general and particularly the habitats of all those with whom we share the planet....

I used to see the ccommon land on fire when i lived across the valley from Burleigh and Rodborough near Stroud. To watch from across the valley the advancing line of fire was astounding.
I never saw woodland fire first hand though.
Again you capture our natural world in your words. Hard to see the beauty of this aspect of earth, wind and fire when we know the death and destruction it leaves behind.
Yet still we build houses and communities in the prospective fire zone and bring in our loved ones and precious possessions. We must be mad/naive.

Yes, Unsub is spot-on about your first verse.... you show my inner thoughts when my head hits the pillow.
Still plagued with daytime slumbers from my drug regieme I\'m often more hopeful than successful at night though.
I\'m thinking these words must be similar to your own bedtime mantra, and a successful one too, for we, your readers, know you are fully awake each pre-dawn to poetically enchant us with your enquiring observations of natures day awakening.
