Burning Bush

I saw a burning bush just the other day. I was driving down a steet with lovely flowers on the median. I saw smoke and drove by cautiously. One flowering bush was lit up, but not in flames, yet. I called 911 and said there's a fire in the middle of the street. A few moments later it hit me. That was weird,
a burning bush!
A burning bush? What does that signify? When I told my son, he said maybe it's a sign of the apocalypse. A- po- ca- lips. What an interesting word. I know it must come from Greek (see the y as a vowel in the last syllable?). Now that I write it, I see that this word is related to calypso. Apocalypse means a prophetic disclosure or revelation. It comes from apokalupsis, a- po- ka- loop- sees, revelation. It is also the name of the last book of the Bible. Calypso means a type of music from Trinidad, but guess what, it is also the name of a character in Greek mythology. She is mentioned in the Odyssey.

So what does the burning bush signify? Big changes. There is a meeting this afternoon where I will find out the future of the program I have been working on for almost 4 years. Maybe next time I will discuss the term, "laid off."

I have another blog, musinglog.blogspot.com, which rarely gets comments. And this article is the one on this blog that gets lots of comments. I think they are all computer generated, though. I don't know why this blog draws them. I published this 2 years ago, and it is the one that still gets the most comments. Since this one gets the most attention, I want to point out my other blogs, hoping someone will notice ithem. They are both on the upper right of this page. Thank you for reading them!

You are invited to a meeting of the TBNGH at Books a Million in Palm Harbor on April 30, 2011. We are going to demonstrate Phone Hypnosis at 7 pm. The public is invited to watch and learn about the marriage of hypnosis and new technology!

Read about it on VerbalImpact.blogspot.com. There should be a link next to this one.
