A Voice in the Wilderness: Into the Mystic

A Voice in the Wilderness

As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression. In both instances, there's a twilight where everything remains seemingly unchanged, and it is in such twilight that we must be aware of change in the air, however slight, lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness. -- William O. Douglas

Into the Mystic

Into the Mystic
Van Morrison - Moondance

We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun
Ere the bonnie boat was won as we sailed into the mystic
Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic

And when that fog horn blows I will be coming home
Yeah, when that fog horn blows I want to hear it
I don’t have to fear it and
I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
Then magnificently we will float into the mystic

When that fog horn blows you know I will be coming home
Yeah, when that fog horn whistle blows I got to hear it
I don’t have to fear it and
I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And together we will float into the mystic
Come on girl...

KInd regards,

Thanks for all the comments folks.

Luis, I went to your site but it would not let me make any comments/

Your pictures are beautiful Luis - Have you considered marketing your work commercially?

Joe, thanks for bringing that to my attention. Didn't know the comments were disabled. I fixed it now. I was updating the coding for my sites (I coded the whole darn thing in MovableType) and it appears that I screwed up something.

I've been encouraged to commercialize my photographs, yes. I may do it at some point. For now it is just a hobby, expensive one, but hobby nevertheless. Thanks for your words.
