Chestertown, MD

A friend and I took advantage of the great weather on Saturday to take a leisurely drive to Chestertown and further north along the DelMarVa Peninsula. We had a great lunch at the Fish Whistle, a restaurant on the waterfront. The food was good and service helpful and friendly. The restaurant has a great view of the Chester River and the town harbor, home to the schooner Sultana.

After a stroll on the dock and the promenade, we headed out to Betterton which was once a thriving beach resort. Once touted as the "Jewel of the Cheapeake", it now has a meagre population of only 376. It does have a beach with great views across the Bay. From there we headed to Chesapeake City, crossing the stately bridge across the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal which was built in 1839.

I am not here

I am not there

I am not anywhere

I see you now

You see me here

Can you feel smell of snow

As it lashes against the sky

And watch the fleeting sleet as if hammers down  below

To form an ice shell that covers all the ground

Have you seen my shattered self that lies beneath the ground

Have you felt my bitter pain you gave up upon the greater pleasure as I lie here all alone

Take my hand and lead me to the once green promised land

and I will

Take you by the hand and show you where you fell

When Moses said he would

Part the path that led instead to a greater Promised Land?

Was it really so great, so wide, that newly parted path

Or did you see that, once you knew: he was talking shit instead?

There is no peace not change or fame when you tread the path of shame

Give instead your mighty self and see the Greater Self

And don’t think you have the answer

 for the silence once so grand

Is only silence in your head when your voice is asleep or dead

And your soul will fly the great Blue Sky and shine into the sun

for you think that your being will live on and on

but you know that you are wrong

 you are nothing

you are not here you are not anywhere

you are an imaginary something in the mind of a Greater One

Today, it felt like Spring...

 

 

It felt so warm today, it begged for a walk in the sunshine, no coats required. Pity Spring is another three months away, we haven't even had a winter to complain about...but who knows, weather is not predictable![[posterous-content:pid___0]]
