"The Transience of Life" 

by A.M. Monaghan

I found a dead Monarch butterfly
lying in the garden, 
it's frail brilliant wings flapping in the
cold winter morning breeze
and I thought of the transience of all
life in the universe and I was
grateful for the passing moments
I have experienced and all the
passing moments I have yet to experience.

Vampire Vultures...it's not about vampires stupid!

Vampire Vultures is a music/culture/film/art/everything you need to know blog I recently discovered. I don't know anything apart from I really like it. Who ever runs it writes great, concise little articles on all kindsa good stuff, so, next time you're board, don't go to your favourite porn site or shoe buying site or whatever...go to http://vampirevultures.wordpress.com/2008/01/  You'll find everything from John Fahey, to Carl Orff, from The Shangrila's to Elis Regina. It'll brighten up your day.
