God Only Knows

Lunacy quote of the day, no week, perhaps the month or maybe even the entire year.

Solar panels embody the teachings of Jesus, says MP Elizabeth May (Saanich-Gulf Islands, B.C.). The re-elected Green Party leader in her first Member’s Statement to the 45th Parliament endorsed the blessing of solar panels on her parish church, explaining she was trying to “follow the path of Jesus Christ in my work.” or Gaia.

This is ridiculous. How in heaven does she get re-elected over and over again? It just tells me how nutzoid Saanich and the Gulf Island’s electorate really is, and probably the church she is a member of.


And this. The Governor hired this guy.

And this:

So true:

Elbows UP!

SUNRISE, FL — Residents of The Great White North exploded into celebration once again last night, as Canada continued its time-honored tradition of being worse than the United States at everything.

The latest installment of the 158-year tradition came Tuesday night, as the Edmonton Oilers once again lost in the NHL Stanley Cup Finals to the Florida Panthers, once again solidifying Canada’s status as being inferior to the U.S. in every way.

“We weren’t sure if we could get crushed by a team whose state doesn’t even have ice, but we did it!” said Edmonton center Connor McDavid. “It looked touch and go for a while, there, going to a sixth game in the series. We came pretty close to disappointing everyone by winning it all, but thankfully, we were able to hold on and continue the tradition. This is what Canada is all aboot.”


We live in a crazy world. But the music still resonates.

Yes it does. God only knows.

Oh My Soul*

Have you ever had that feeling of pure ecstasy, an unbelievable happiness running through your veins and every cell in your body, where everything is right with your world? It is a rare existential, performative feeling of well being. Of being completely in tune with your existence and with your Lord. I have experienced that feeling, but only a few times in my life. Very personal indeed but there nonetheless.

In my own feeble mind, this son captures that feeling.

While on the Camino Frances, Spain. Early morning light. Oh what a feeling…

…of being on top of the world.


And while sailing. One with the sea, the wind and the sky.


Excerpt from Red Jewel (above link). It will give you a sense of what I mean:

“The moon? Oh, the moon. By now it was a large bright orb that
appeared on our eastern horizon just after sunset, rising. How bright it
was and a welcome sight. It will be our companion until the early hours
tomorrow. You could read a book by it and its pale light gave the color of
the sea around us a silk-like, midnight blue colored texture. And under
the moonlight the boat’s phosphorescence came to life, glimmering and
sparkling bits of plankton that transformed itself magically into sheets
of translucent but shimmering diamonds or star-dust running down the
hull from the bow to the stern. Like a sorcerer’s mix this phosphorescence
transformed the boat’s bow wave into a magical mix that was exquisite
and breathtaking to look at. It was God’s manifestation of His physical
presence in this world. A reminder. Our stern wake took on a paranormal
ghostly appearance as it snaked its way astern then dissipated into the
nothingness and magnitude of the dark blue seas behind us. It was as if
God was telling us to take note, as his presence is revealed to us by the
mysterious and miraculous sea world around us.

With the moonlight upon us the night was no longer an ominous
threat. Then, as the night progressed, and the moon rose higher and
higher, it carried a golden ring that made its radiance brighter in intensity.
It was so bright and clear that I thought I could make out the American
Flag that was planted on the moon by astronauts Neil Armstrong and
Buzz Aldrin back in 1969. Or is that the man in the moon I am seeing:
an expression that was clearly defined as he or her smiled down upon us.
And at sunrise the sky revealed a rising sun in the east and a translucent,
pale looking moon to the west. It was magical. It was transcendental as
it was very spiritual. Looking out into the infinity of the universe and of
its perfection and complexity I know with certainty that there is a God.
It was during these times, in the middle of the night, that I found
myself miles and miles ahead of myself or mentally distant from my
current reality. This is what occurs to you at sea in the middle of the
night with only your thoughts for company. I stare at the moon and
study every nuance of its surface consciously while unconsciously my
mind drifts away into the past where I am able to remember minute and
insignificant details of my life with renewed clarity and understanding
and peace. No longer am I afraid of what or how life may present itself
to me but looked forward to all that life has to offer. For now, in this
beautiful setting of God’s given and most powerful elements of sea, wind
and sky; and the stars and planets that form all of the constellations, I
can recognize a true powerful and living God and thank him with all
of my heart for all of his blessings that he has bestowed upon me. I look
to my future with assuredness, anticipation and confidence. It is in this
moment of time and space, and clairvoyance, on this boat in the middle
of the central Pacific Ocean, that I am filled with elation and happiness.
It is an unbelievable feeling of wellness and joy and one that I have rarely
experienced in my lifetime.

And without a moon a gazillion pricks of light appeared. You sit
there in your element as if you were on a plain of fluid bobbing around
and trapped inside of an inverted bowl. Above you were millions and
millions of stars forming a canopy of infinity that is only limited by
the relatively minuscule and human visual boundaries from the eastern
horizon to the west, and from the northern limitations to the south.
Then or now.

It was an eerie sight, and feeling, attempting to visualize infinity: The
Alpha and the Omega, the mystery of life itself. You couldn’t even
attempt to measure it or define it. And from within the bowl, the stars
appeared like some celestial audience that was watching our every move
and trek across their world and their universe.”


It is a funny thing to me, somewhat ironic I think, that we prepare ourselves for many things: we buy car insurance to protect us and our investment from harm or destruction or personal injury and liability. We purchase house insurance to protect our security, our wellbeing, and we purchase life insurance to protect our love ones and survivors if anything should happen to us. Yet we do little to prepare ourselves for that spiritual and eternal life after we are gone. We do little to protect our souls and or to seek salvation. Why is that? I do not know. I am a believer so I have no fear, or anxiety whatsoever. Yet non believers are willing to risk it all. It is like having no spiritual life insurance. I do not understand that.  Believe and accept Jesus Christ as you savior and you will feel all of your anxiety and fear melt away. You will experience the joy of knowing there is a Father who cares for you and is in control of everything. As our young people would say: No Worries!

Ship of Fools

To bite off the hand that feeds ya, or another Nigerian scam. This time the city of Toronto is the target. Chow down on that will ya Torontonians.

The City of Toronto is facing a possible $50-million proposed class action lawsuit by refugee claimants who allege they weren’t given free shelter beds between 2022 and 2023.

The claim was brought forward by the Black Legal Action Centre, Lewis Litigation PC, and Stieber Berlach LLP on behalf of Wasiu Adekanmbi, a 40-year-old refugee claimant from Nigeria who invokes both Black and LGBTQ+ identity in his claim. 

Should be a winner. Should have asked for more.

Maybe now they’ll stop bugging me. Oh wait, they did say I had a cheque waiting for me worth $50 million US dollars. All I had to do was turn over my banking information. Whew. Thank gawd for the Israelis!


CBC Canada? We want moe (sic) money to the tune of $2.5B.

“Well of course we do,” say the head of the CBC, also known as Liberal Pravda. “Our exec’s bonuses are way too low.”

“Yes they are,” said one of the janitorial execs at CBC HQ. “My 10 mil bonus last year hardly met my needs. 20 mil will do it though.”

“We’ll see to it right away,” said one government official. “After all insufficient funding to the CBC, which is Canada’s Pravda, is an existential threat to Canada, don’t ya know. It’s performative, which is another word I love to use to obfuscate. It sounds good but means nothing.”


And, and, we’re going to give the Canadian military $69 Billion dollars to bring us up to 2% of our GDP on defence. But, but I am not sure I like the looks of that monetary number. “Will it have to be gender related?” someone asked. “After all it is 2025 you know!” “It already is.” a government official answered.”

Perhaps that is why they, them, our Liberal government  came up with that figure.


Activist Greta Thunberg was seen on Friday, May 30, joining the preparations for the next sailing of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) carrying aid to Gaza, after a previous attempt was thwarted by a drone attack weeks earlier.

“Greta Gaza get yer gun.” Oh boy / girl/ he/his/her/them is/are she / they in for it again.

Greta Gaza’s Ship of Fools. Arrested and deported…immediately. Not after 10 years, as it is in Canada.

Elbows up! Erm, I mean hands up! Sorry…but I am Canadian after all…sorry about that. Sorry!

Good thing they didn’t land in Gaza. They would have been was/were!

The “EBook” and / or Paperback version are now available and can be purchased through Amazon. You can also get the audio format.

Kurofune: The Black Ships is a war story, a love story, a story of redemption and rebirth.

The Battle of Saipan saw the Pacific War’s largest Japanese Banzai attack. Over 4,000 Japanese soldiers died while about 1,000 Marines lost their lives during this harrowing nightmare of a suicide thrust by the Japanese to push the Americans back into the sea.

“Kurofune” tells the story of that tragedy against a backdrop of nationalism, military fanaticism, heroism and self sacrifice. Yet Kurofune is also a love story, a war story, a story of redemption and a story of rebirth.

I also have a compilation of poems that were written over the years.

An Innocent Time

 

A simpler, innocent time:

 

Goodbye Brian Wilson. A troubled man but a genius musically.

God only knows how much we will miss you, and what we would have been without your music.

Rest in peace Brian. 82 years young.


And another icon that we lost today. Again at 82 years of age.

We are all everyday people. Rest in Peace Sly.

A sad day today.

Shakeyjay… out.
