COVID and the Holidays
By Timothy R. Barre
Through COVID, and rain, or blizzard and snow
There’s one thing that you’ll surely know
These holidays so near
Bring upon ‘seemingly’ little fear
As loved ones enjoy a tiny little gift
Of family and friends that make it complete
The turkey and stuffing
Or the ham with glaze
Can set the world a blaze…
Think about this…
The hustling and bustling about
To get prepped up and be in that last minute
shopping state
For pricey gifts discounted with ‘way out of sight
prices’
And stocking stuffers to create that little extra joy
There’s room for more – I know you know
But being careful when standing in lines
Or out in public, or any venue that you may greet.
There’s no need to shut down -
But do mask up if the need arises
And keep yourself ‘socially safe’ –
Six feet apart – if that’s what it takes
To keep you and your loved ones safe
It’s a feat of determination
In this brand new world, we’ve found ourselves in.
Let’s make the holiday memories last
Think of those you love…
May the joy and peace of the holidays be with all of
you for today, and the future more.
Lawrence of Arabia (1962) continued from page 10
to Ottoman Arabia to try to open another front against the
Turks.
The first half of “Lawrence of Arabia” is slow but extraordinary.
Director David Lean helps us understand how tough
and daring Lawrence was to choose to take long camel rides
through the desolate Arabian desert.
Lawrence’s achievement wasn’t just his many victories
over the surprised Turks. It was his ability to unite the southern
Arabs. When he arrived, the Bedouins only saw themselves
as tribesmen – not Arabs. A member of the Howitat
tribe hated a member of the neighboring Harith tribe infinitely
more than they hated a Turk, a European, or even a Jew.
Through his superhuman bravery and visionary battlefield
tactics, T E Lawrence united the Arab tribes into one army
with one national identity. It isn’t completely far-fetched to
call Lawrence the father of Saudi Arabia.
A pitfall of a film like this is that we won’t believe that the
actor is really capable of this level of leadership and heroism.
“Spartacus” fails because Kirk Douglas clearly isn’t tough or
blood-thirsty enough to be a believable rebel leader.
Peter O’Toole’s Lawrence is tough enough. And plenty
blood thirsty. Like George C. Scott in “Patton,” O’Toole

The Marriage Of Two People
By Timothy R. Barre
The marriage of two people
Is a unique situation --
The uniting of two beings
Under a steeple.
Now we are one
One as in you
One as in me
-- Not two but one...only one.
Two souls,
Two minds,
Two thoughts,
Two rhymes,
-- But only one marriage
Partners in love.
-- Lovers in love!
Partake unto thee
Such circumstance
-- Emotions of love
Feeling
Thoughts
Deep...deep emotion
Caring
Sharing
Living life as it should
Day by day
-- With the one you love --
- Your marriage partner, that is
To love,
To hold,
To forever be faithful
Live the new life
Cherish the old,
Look forward to the future
With your marriage partner
- And you alone...

Took A Walk Outside Today
By Timothy R. Barre
I took a walk outside today
Gone up the hill just a little ways
Bitter cold whips across my face
Reminiscing when in summer, taking ice cubes out from the
freezer tray
Snow plows having gone on by
Wisps of air blows snow kicking up along the sides
Viewing at the crumbs of snow on the ground from side to side
Looking like the crumb topping of a home-baked apple streusel pie
Went back home to rest bit
Thinking about all I had seen and loving it
Warm and cozy in my chair
Blanketed fleece all around me there
Took a little afternoon nap
Woke to find my face being lapped
By my dog who stood by my side
Letting me know she’d like to go outside
Went outside for another walk around
My four-legged friend sniffing on the ground
Tracks of others having blazed the trail
Oh my Doggie with her wagging little tail!
Looking up ahead on the sidewalk I went
Trampled feet crushed the bits of snow that made them spent
A few days went by with not much change
Warming up a little at a time just enough to rearrange
The snow into liquid water running down the street
Running into a drain where the other waters meet.
Weeks went by with still snow on the ground
(Comes with the territory, if Vermont is where you’re bound)
Dark grey clouds break the blue in the sky
Another storm brews starting tonight
Snow started spitting about four in the morn
A light dusting for now, but much more as the day wore on
Driving into work was a bit slick at just a quarter to six
Watching for anything moving left to right
Sometimes you’ll see a fox
Peeking out from the road side from my sight
Mustering up the bitter storm
Waiting to go home in the afternoon.
shows us that a great military leader needs to be vain, dramatic,
flamboyant, and just a little crazy.
T E Lawrence and the British triumphed. The Ottoman
Empire collapsed. And the world is a much worse place for it.
After a half millennium of Muslim moderation, radical Islam
rose and intolerance became the norm. It turns out that the
Turks were much more competent Middle Eastern imperialists
than the British or the Bush family could ever hope to be.
The ultimate lesson of “Lawrence of Arabia” is one that
humanity will never learn. There are two types of wars: There
are wars that you simply lose outright. And there are wars that
you win, but lead to horrible unintended consequences down
the road.
ARIES (March 21 to April
19) A hectic period begins
to wind down. Take time
to draw some deep breaths
and relax before getting
into your next project. A
long-absent family member makes contact.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You’re eager to move forward
with a new challenge that suddenly dropped in your
lap. But you’d be wise to take this one step at a time to
allow new developments to come through.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You’re almost ready to make
a commitment. A lingering doubt or two, however, should
be resolved before you move ahead. An associate could
provide important answers.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Caution is still the watchword
as you move closer toward a decision about a new
situation. If you act too fast, you might miss some vital
warning signs. Go slowly and stay alert.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) Your new goal looks promising,
and your golden touch does much to enhance its prospects
for success. In your private life, Cupid does his best
to make your new relationship special.
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) That impatient side
of yours is looking to goad you into moving before you’re
ready to take that big step. Stay calm and cool. Let things
fall into place before you act.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A legal matter you
hoped could finally be settled could be a pesky problem for
a while, until all the parties agree to stop disagreeing with
each other. Be patient.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Partnerships --
personal or professional -- which began before the new
year take on new importance. They also reveal some previously
hidden risks. So be warned.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your associates
are firmly on your side, and that persistent problem
that has caused you to delay some activities should
soon be resolved to your satisfaction.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Favorable
changes continue to dominate, and you should be responding
positively as they emerge. Someone wants to become
more involved in what you’re doing.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A friend wants
to share a secret that could answer some questions you’ve
wondered about for a long time. Meanwhile, travel aspects
continue to be strong.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Stay on your new
course despite so-called well-meaning efforts to discourage
you. Rely on your deep sense of self-awareness to
guide you to do what’s right for you.
BORN THIS WEEK: You have the capacity to meet challenges
that others might find overwhelming, and turn them
into successful ventures.
