Journey's End

I'm not poet, nor native English speaker. Therefore I decided to post here a part of poem I found on a web.
My mother passed away this month. This poem is in her honor.

Journey's End


REST YOUR HEAD, MY WEARY TRAVELLER

THIS EARTHLY JOURNEY IS AT END

SAY GOODBYE TO THOSE WHO’LL MOURN YOU

AQUAINTANCE, FAMILY, FRIEND


STEADFAST WIFE AND NOBLE MOTHER

ALL YOUR DUTIES ARE COMPLETE

YOUR REWARD A NEW ADVENTURE

TAKE THIS GIFT AND BE AT PEACE


LEAVE BEHIND THE TEARS OF LOVED ONES

LAY YOUR HEAVY BURDEN DOWN

CAST ASIDE YOUR WORN OUT BODY

PAIN AND SUFFERING NOW BEGONE


JUST AHEAD SOMEONE IS WAITING

WHO HAS PASSED THROUGH HEAVEN’S DOOR

ANTICIPATING YOUR ARRIVAL

A CELEBRATION IS IN STORE


PREPARE TO STEP BEYOND THE CURTAIN

SEPARATING LIFE FROM DEATH

ANSWERS TO ALL OF LIFE’S MYSTERIES

THIS AND MORE YOU SHALL POSSESS


THOUGHTS OF YOU WILL BRING US COMFORT

YOU’RE IN OUR HEARTS, YOU ARE NOT GONE

AND IN OUR TIME WE’LL COME TO JOIN YOU

ONE LAST FAREWELL AND JOURNEY ON


REST YOUR HEAD, MY WEARY TRAVELER
THIS EARTHLY JOURNEY IS AT END
SAY GOODBYE TO THOSE WHO’LL MOURN YOU
ACQUAINTANCE, FAMILY, FRIEND

STEADFAST WIFE AND NOBLE MOTHER
ALL YOUR DUTIES ARE COMPLETE
YOUR REWARD A NEW ADVENTURE
TAKE THIS GIFT AND BE AT PEACE

LEAVE BEHIND THE TEARS OF LOVED ONES
LAY YOUR HEAVY BURDEN DOWN
CAST ASIDE YOUR WORN OUT BODY
PAIN AND SUFFERING NOW BEGONE

PREPARE TO STEP BEYOND THE CURTAIN
SEPARATING LIFE FROM DEATH
ANSWERS TO ALL OF LIFE’S MYSTERIES
THIS AND MORE YOU SHALL POSSESS

THOUGHTS OF YOU WILL BRING US COMFORT
YOU’RE IN OUR HEARTS, YOU ARE NOT GONE
AND IN OUR TIME WE’LL COME TO JOIN YOU

Annoyed

Well, today I tried to reply on the comment left on my previous post.
UGH! it is like some bloody black hole developed and decided to swallow each and every of my attempts. In total I tried to reply on Fresca's comment 3 times, and leave independent comment another 3 times. Each and every one of them disappeared!
Since I'm not someone who gives up easily:
So Fresca, here is your answer.

Aye, the cat toy probably does influence their hunting instinct. What was amazing for me is that is actually the first cat toy that really does what they advertized. In the shops you can find all bunch of toys that claim the same, and they work sometimes, but not better than that silly little wire you can find when you unpack something tied into bag. That wee wire is an ultimate cat toy. They entertain themselves with it for hours. Way more than with 'official' toys.

Cat delight

We have now two cats. And they fight. So we started watching 'Cat whisperer' to learn what the heck to do.
Advices did not help in stopping fights, but bloke was using some cat toy that seems simply magical. It is called 'Da bird' and absolutely works.
You just need to wave it a bit around cat and cat will start playing. I do not know why, but works every time!

Tor

This holiday season I received enormous amount of the catalogs. Almost half of them was from the companies from which I never got anything.
I mean, I know that my internet use is tracked, collected and sold, but having these obvious and annoying proves that my internet use is sold to any fracking buyer is bit too much.
So I decided to give a try to that Tor software package. I'll even blog now in this blog from the Tor browser.
Part of me is a bit worried. I've grown up in dictatorship where privacy was no option. You had to have artificial image of yourself that fits expectations or you're automatically bad person. That lesson was what was stopping me in using encrypting software of any kind. Usage of such software makes me target. Then I read that NSA can penetrate Tor. Fine. Problem solved. I do not have to fret of being declared suspicion person and at the same time I can stop giving my internet usage data to various companies to earn money.
If they wish to have those they should pay me!

So now, I'm giving this TorBrowser the try. It really works. At the moment Blogger thinks I'm somewhere in Scandinavia.
I'll try to use other services through TorBrowser too, because I'm really annoyed by this onslaught of the bloody adds and catalogs.
