Perfect art for November

 My friend Deva likes owls. Of course she does, since she is one. While you and I are slumbering away, this is what she does. I love that she wears a tattoo like a spirit guide on her arm. Awesome Deva. Here is her blog site.: Various Distractions From Sleep.

On a whole other note, here are the lyrics by a John Gorka song that stopped me in my tracks this morning. I like the idea of growing up to be a tree very much.

When I grow up I want to be a tree
Want to make my home with the birds and the bees
And the squirrels, they can count on me
When I grow up to be a tree

I'll let my joints get stiff, put my feet in the ground
Take the winters off and settle down
Keep my clothes till they turn brown
When I grow up, I'm gonna settle down

CHORUS:
I'm gonna reach, I'm gonna reach
I'm gonna reach, reach for the sky
I'm gonna reach, I'm gonna reach
I'm gonna reach, till I know why

When the spring comes by I'm gonna get real green
If the dogs come by I'm gonna get real mean
On windy days, I'll bend and lean
When I grow up I'm gonna get real green

(BRIDGE)
If I should fall in storm or slumber
Please don't turn me into lumber
I'd rather be a Louisville slugger
Swinging for the seats...
