Ice Circles in MacKintyre River, Lappe, ON, Canada

In November, 2009 the following 'ice circles' appeared in the MacKintyre River,

along the Dog Lake Road, in Lappe: northern Ontario, Canada.

These photos were taken on the 30th of Nov. 2009. My daughter, "Beau" had first spotted

them as we were driving by, homeward, on the Sunday evening, about one week previously.

{=~Nov.22,2009} I failed to stop to take a look at that day: as it was late, and we were pressed for time. When she mentioned them this day, I stopped and turned around and went back to have a look. She told me that they had looked like big 'ice donuts' or "Tubes" (like tire tubes)- or "like the beginnings of a mushroom cloud" when she first spotted them. Now,they were flattish disks: none the less astonishing.

As Minutes, hours, and then.. days passed, I pondered how these might have come to be.

Almost as astonishing as the circles themselves, was the reaction: the unspoken- censorship

which occurred when I showed my video(s) and stills to a local news reporter. ( the world is still flat in Thunder Bay: and if one sales past the Sleeping Giant: one will surely find the edge ;>). )

Friday, July 17, 2009: Long Time / No See...

and yes, it has been a long time. There have been a new grandchild born , and a wedding.. gardens planted, ... time flies when we are having fun. And today, announcing the placing of
"The Princess & the Unicorn: A Story We All Know" up on the web. the first chapters.
http://www.johnlennonlover.com/Parlar.html and choose the correct picture and link.
It is actually very exciting-- I know- this does not sound very turned on at the minute: just groggy from reading and writing and working- (the gardens were all done with shovel and hands in the bugs etc...) and there have been literally HOURS of web-sitting, and prior to that: computer graphics work to prepare the pictures and pages of the STORY!! So now, Chapter One: "The Princess and the Glass House", and Chapter Two:"Enter the Unicorn" and Soon to be finished: Chapter Three: "The Secret Garden".

We truly hope you enjoy them.

P.S. don't forget to check out the cool stuff available with drawings by me!

"For Cyn: A White Feather"

April 15, 2009; 7:30-ish/EST/A.M.          "For 'Cyn' : A White Feather"

Having recently read Cynthia's book "John": thoroughly enjoyed it- and dealing with the

inevitable 'aftermath'- the floods of emotions and thoughts-

Running the risk - but knowing not how else to get in contact from here:

Canada- north woods-{{{ "oblivion" per sey-}}}  

we had ended the book at about 2:00 in the morning (est)- and gone to sleep- then woke up

with the weight of dreams: more-than-half-not-remembered-- and struggling with

who to talk to-

why even to bother to try to talk at all-

what to say

how to say it

 and just re-read Cynthia's account of John's reaction to hearing of Stuart's death-

hysterical laughter - then tears-    same as when he heard of his uncle George's death-

-same as at his mother's funeral- "his way of Coping with the shock."

John- "I wonder why anyone at this day- would care-"  (ie. he means- care about him- and

                    whatever he felt- or feels now - about anything-)

and, I had been seriously contemplating attempting one more time to contact Yoko Ono

-seriously- about certain phenomena and a story/// book that was written in 1985-

have wrassled and wrangled and endured and- well---// let's just say that:

 life has sort of been like an ongoing fever- ever since- 

and then, as I was in the process of composing such said letter in my

mind I came across Cynthia's book- and read it.

I have often wondered whether it would be better to try to contact her, - - yeah- - so. . .

"I wonder why anyone at this day would care- about me - or what I think or feel about

any given topic.     but my mind is tempered now-  with the thoughts of time- the 

superfiicallity of it - of "Being" - as just - "Being" .. not in time- - in and Out of time- like-

all through- as - - part of "All That Is" - on that level - it makes sense - has some "matter"

to it - like - it is significant just for Love- to Be.  as opposed to hate- or - indifference.

As to "Why Bother: to speak, or try to answer- , or try to publish- whatever- "- one has to

do what one has to do-   we are.  we exist.  we feel.  we can choose- to do or to not

do-  but 'Being' is still there- and - whatever is 'happening' - is  'happening'

and whatever "will happen" has yet to pass- and seems to be affected - one way or 

another- by what we choose- to do - or not do- and this time?

I want to choose love.  - I want to connect with the people I love- and let them KNOW- 

that I love them- and that I am - sorry- and I wish- - that if there was a way I could- thank

them for all their love they gave to me - and somehow right - the wrongs I did to them - then

that is what I wish - Want- to do.  Now.  In and out of time- as an eternal thing- as something 

REAL."

hello

hello from Canada.
This message comes to you from a woman-in-the-bush-of-Canada.
Northern Ontario to be more exact.
I am just getting started.

Have you ever wondered about paranormal, extra-terrestrials, quantum theories, past lives, Atlantis...
I have. Recently I came across a book by the name of 'Atlantis Rising'. and - wow. It blew me away. {{{Patricia Cori: no2 of Sirian Revelations Series}}}{see www.sirianrevelations.net}
I am waiting for the other related books to come through the mail so I can read them.

Wonder has been a constant companion for me: youth to married life to children (X12!!- ? un-hunh!!)- to Unmarried life: single-mother-of-the-eight(8)-youngest ones- - {=10 years in near 3rd world conditions} - - to now.

I spent most of my years unplugged, and either OFF or barely dangling on- the fringe of 'the grid'.
this means that I cannot tell you the names of the actors on most sitcoms, movies etc. and I have not watched Oprah, or Dr. Phil (but have spent enough time in emergency hospital lobbies to be aware that they exist- yes, you know how I mean..)

I recognize a few of the more recent- or should I say, less archaic- actors. . .

{{{I saw Dustin Hoffman jogging to the Women's Gate in NYC in spring of 1986)}}}

but mostly I watch the sky, the trees growing, and whatever dial-up at snailmailpace can bring-

and when I get the chance, I visit crop circle, and john lennon sites on the interweb. :-->)
