North Star

Christianity, creating, dating, finding your zen, guiding light, medical marijuana, on human suffering, poetry, The Simon Tao, winning the peace

There is but one immutable guiding light.

Forever fixed in the heavens – it does not, cannot rise or set.

The North Star is the pilgrims guide to knowledge.

Follow your beacon without fear through good and bad.

If you remain steadfast and humble in seeking wisdom,

she will lead to peace, love, meaning, purpose,

and eventually, when you are prepared to embrace her, eternal Truth.

  1. What I like most about this “anthem” lies in its sheer simplicity.

    “Follow your beacon without fear through good and bad” is my standard for living.

    What is so difficult to get here, America?

    Thank you, Liz, for articulating something that I couldn’t. All of Simon’s writing is simple and elegant, and that is what makes him stand out.

      4. I like the fact that he lives a rough and tumble life and even though he hangs with some questionable girls (Miss IT excepted), shows enormous respect for his American Ettes. You’d be surprised ST how unusual that is around here across the pond.

        Ever wonder why you have such a diversified group of USA female followers?

        You may blame Mrs. MacTemplar, my saintly mother who did not believe in sparing the rod – neither my pop!

    1. More proof of how brave you are!

      When it is done professionally and correctly, there is no or very little blood involved, lol. At least not for the first ear piercing. 🙂

      2. Lol 🙂 Is it still there, or did it heal up? I am thinking it probably healed up? Unless she really impaled you 😦

  4. Does the republication of this poem mean you have found your lodestar, and it’s “time to bring the ship into the shore, throw away the oars, forever” pace REO Speedwagon)?

    (While we’re waiting: I’m thinking of a guy I knew who has one ear pierced, sometime wore a dark red stone of some kind therein. You stared—or I did, couldn’t help it. The guy has black hair and beard. He also has gold eyes (No not “golden”) I reckon he still has these attributes cep’n mebbe the raven locks….wha’?)

    Sorry! You were saying…?
