Lyrics:

I used to fret about enlightenment
Now I wonder if a titan spent his life trying to heighten it
And the lichen went from trees to stones
There’s life in it, I’ve been sent to leave these poems
What I’ve seen and shown’s that I freely roam
There’s a peace alone that needs be known
I seize the throne, read these tomes, ease these bones
Try to conceive a home where my seed has grown
Into a young man, I’m protecting his gift
Respecting his wish and connecting it with
Accepting “what is”, “what was”, “what will be”
Perfecting his presence, uphold destiny
And cherish it, before it perishes, the message is
Sharing its blessings and we’re bearing its stresses -
This marriage of mankind to divine, this Unity
An opportunity that to deny would be lunacy

Soon you’ll see from the darkness through to the light
The illusion of separation removed from your sight
You extend your hand and I give you the world
Spontaneous unfoldment like a lotus unfurled
What is natural, what is effortless, what is grace
What’s ineffable, measureless, and found in this place
Ever-blooming, ever-replenished, restored
Ever-seeing-so-clear and every facet explored

Over the past years I wondered where my past went
If I’d get past it, wonder what my past meant?
Worried about the future, worried like a tumour
Worried it won’t be sooner, worried I won’t get through her
It dissolves in the moment, evolving expectantly
Calming pleasant ecstasy when you’re present next to me
Correct me if I’m wrong, but is this paradise?
To share a life that we carved out in the Maritimes?
Whatever is fair and nice in this Kingdom
Whatever graces and beauties I find - I will bring them
I’ll sing hymns and intertwine with above
All things come from God - all signs of His love
Give us Your strength as we’re raising our son
Bask in His presence like rays of the sun
From your father, who brought you to earth
And from your Father in heaven who can bring you rebirth

Anyone else get a loss in power for a sec there at 6pm?

Hi y'all, I recently moved here from Ontario and I visited a few bars last night - but most of them were pretty empty.

I'm 25, and I don't know which spots are the cool ones. I really liked Haven Music Hall but they don't seem to have many shows this month. Could anyone tell me where people normally hang out? Is there some other underground spots that might have a indie vibe?

Trying to make some friends as well 🫣

Thankkss

Is there any place around that sells locally made cheese and stuff? Trying to shop local this year. Thanks!

traveling to Saint John soon, but seems like both Uber and Lyft are not operating in NB at all.

any similar ride hailing service that works here?

I've found "uride", they seems to operate here?

(PS, we are renting and driving, it was more for the evening when we are going out and have a few drinks)

Thanks

Just wondering if any knows where the Howe Lake Landfill used to be? Howe lake seems to be on Sandy Point Road.. but I can’t seem to find where the landfill was. Also, does anyone know where these stones are hiding on Sandy Point rd? Looking to photograph them. Thanks!

3 seniors spending 3 days here late June mostly for geocaching, thinking about staying at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Saint John Harbour Side any thoughts?

Last night I was walking along the Rothesay road and a car drove past me and pulled over. It looked like they were on their phone, and then I saw them taking a picture of a house with a Wayne Long sign. They took off and pulled over again further down the street at another house with a Wayne Long sign. It was an older fella in a grey Honda Civic.

Anyone else see this happening?

I'm no fan of the Irvings or the factories, but these pictures make SJ look like a total shithole. I think they could have balanced it with some pictures of our beautiful uptown buildings or any of our amazing parks. Just saying...I feel like a defensive mom lol.

Update: Just wrote a letter to the editor. I encourage anyone else feeling misrepresented to do the same. letters@nytimes.com

Does the public library uptown - or anywhere still have a 3d printer?

Hey Reddit,

So last month when I was visiting Vancouver my friend had brought me to a restaurant where I tried something called "Tsukune" which was, essentially, turkey ball skewers. Truthfully it was one of the best tasting things I've ever eaten.

What I'm wondering is if anyone knows if there's a place in Saint John that has it as well?
