A Sunday To Relax Write and Ponder

I am just relaxing today. I have spend all day at Starbucks talking and writing. I was inpired to write a new poem from the last fellow that I met, Brian G. Spare. I called the poem " Inner Spirit, Outer Man "

Its theme is of renewal, recycling and sharing. Hope you like it. Happy Easter Everyone

Inner Spirit, Outer Man

The place that I was searching for

I need not look outside no more

It was here inside me all along

Quiet, still and strong

Good and kind is what I am

Inner spirit, outer man

Self sustaining and complete

Standing tall upon my feet

Made from recycled word

That I have red, felt and heard

From book, God and human form

Since the day that I was born

With an inner eye that’s clear

Free from busyness, stress and fear

The power of Love fills me whole

Lighting my mind, body and soul

Now I give to others in need

By writing words for them to read

For inner light so they can find

A place inside their inner mind

That’s quiet, still and strong

Where there’s light the dark will flee

Good and Kind is what they’ll see

Inner spirit, outer man

Self sustaining and complete

Standing tall upon their feet

Made from recycled word

From book, God and human form

Since the day that they were born

With an inner eye that’s clear

Free from busyness, stress and fear

The power of Love will fill them whole

Lighting their mind, body and soul

They will give to others in need

By writing words for others to read

Recycled words

I just met a very nice man at Starbucks. His name is Brian G. Spare Phd and he was working on his book. He is writing the story of his life. We talked for some time and at one point he told me of his personal creed. It is based on a poem written by a usa writer called Max Ehrmann written in 1927. The title of his poem was called Desiderata which means " desired things" in Latin. I went on line and read the poem. It help to re enforce my own beliefs that paralleled this poem and the poems I wrote. Poems can be read over and over again by endless eyes and every time have the potential of sparking up a new beginning. So in a way the words are being recycled again and again
To read my poetry go to my other blog at: www.iambigbang.blogspot.com if you can't find it then go to Google.com/blogsearch first.

Jesus recycled

In a sense Jesus was recycling when he rose from the dead. Its snowing in thunder bay this morning.

Silver city recycling

I when to see a movie alone and am proud to see Silver city theater doing their part. Good going

Another great idea by Starbucks

I just noticed that Starbucks offers this reusable coffee cup that is made of 90% recycled material for 1.00. They said it last for about 30 refills and you get s .10 cent discount off the price of your drink every time you use it. Wow, that prevents 30 paper cups from bring tossed into the landfill sites for each person using one. Unfortunately, this sStarbucks store only gets 15 of these cups to sell at a time. They said they are always on back order. Strange. Anyway, I think I will buy one and give it a try.

Starbucks recycling

I just talked to a very informed staff member at Starbucks in Thunder bay that told me that there are two drop off places for recyclable materials in town. The member told me that they take their own sorted recyclables to the drop offs themselves because the a company called Recool charges way to much for commercial scheduled pickup of recyclables. Way to go Starbucks.
In my last post I wrote that someone at a commercial location told me there was no such service. Mmmmmm. What's up with that? Eh.

Pop can donation bins

All around thunder bay you will find these donation bins for pop cans. Very cool.
