Poet Beth "Batyah" Elishevah Ginzberg expresses her creative poetic meditations about water as a very powerful atmospheric element of the environment. Ginzberg wrote these poems at the East Rogers Park Lake Michigan Beaches, on-the-spot, to experientially convey the full effect of the Great Lakes of Chicago, IL USA for your reading pleasure.

DELIGHT IN DELICIOUSNESS

Deliciousness? To delight in it? How about Tuna Casserole? Unfortunately Tuna contains a poisoning from water called Mercury and it should only be eaten three or four times per year. This Mercury poisoning causes the illness of Dementia, that is why older people get Dementia, it is from years and years of eating Tuna. Tuna is cheap, inexpensive so it is the food of the poor, not as a nice delicious fish like the Sardine that is more expensive and does not contain Mercury. There's King Oscar Sardines that come with tangy tomato or yellow mustard sauces, olive oil, black and green olive chopped pieces, delicious red pimentos, not spicy, instead smoothly mild. And a King's? Yes, a royal food of the Kings of England! A United Kingdom's knighted knight's treat of a delish hors d'oeuvres good for parties to celebrate all year round.

The smoked fish called Chubs. It is good! A good deeply and powerfully smoked fish fillet, comes with the head on it it is so very fresh. To use your fork spoon and knife to dissect it to brush away the small bones and to delight in eating this smoked fish so good, no water pollutant poisonings, a good fine fish a real delicious supper!

Tilapia? A white colored pure fish, farm-raised, a good price not overly priced, a recipe to microwave it and to pour red tomato sauce over it and add pieces slices of white real onion. Really incredible! To put it all over Chinese white rice. Steamed puffy mounds of pure white rice. How good this fish really is!

A Lake Superior White Fish. The best! To buy them whole, stuff them with a breaded breading soaked in milk, pure white cute cow's milk, to make a thin incision into the body of the fish, to overflow it then with a delish breaded super stuffing, a munching meal fit for a King and Queen. And for you! A special routine time to eat this fish? How about on Christmas Eve? Sounds good and tastes good to me!

WHAT TO APPRECIATE AND WHAT NOT TO


Can you think of things to appreciate keep a positive viewpoint and make lemonade out of lemons? What to be thankful for? What to appreciate, what to love. Is love a bad word? If it is associated with unrequited love a love that is not true, then it is an expression of deceit, and not real love. How can we have real love? To have an amulet or a locket filled with your loved one's hair to wear, to always be thinking of this loved one, to appreciate her kindness. Not to kill or be killed with kindness, real kindness that is supportive and helps you. Nothing from a liar, to bowl down these liars like bowler's pins, to get a strike or a spare, to win the game. Three holes in a bowling ball. A ball that is black or that is now available in different colors. Brand new beautiful bowling shoes, not to slip in a bowling lane shoes snuggly smooth to feel good a perfect fit. 

To go to an artwork gallery to see different wonderful paintings, to even have your own original painting hanging on these walls. No need to hang a criminal in a noose, instead to hang a picture of beauty or one of truth not to be censored. A picture with an image you'll never forget, to develop a photogenic memory, to never forget a face. To think of your loved one's smile. To have a picture of your deceased relatives or pets and to carry it with you to see anytime anywhere, to be in the storage of your pics on your iPhone or hanging on your walls in your home.

To have a relationship with a spirit, someone who is helping you go through life, a spirit of one who you love but is no longer in your physical presence who now is a spirit and with you always and forever, never to leave you, just to think of them, remember them and they appear as an image of loveliness when you conjure them. 

Not to have fear, even if you were brought up as a kid with fear. Change this fear into love. Who to love? You can even love a pet rock. It's made up of fossils perhaps bones of a fish or animal, a zillion year old rock. Just a pebble? Yes, it as a pebble that King David released from a slingshot to kill Goliath. Not to use even a pebble as a source of violence like David did unless it is in self-defense.

Do you have a pair of shoes to be thankful for? A pair of athletic shoes not high heels, high heels that cause bunyans. These athletic shoes are comfortable and cause walking and running with ease. Lasting years and years. Cloth shoes, vinyl not leather not an animal's precious skin. Not to dissect a real animal for furs and skins, especially not foxes. Foxes are good not bad animals they have red fur and we need to preserve them from extinction along with all the other animals that are being used for clothing and foods. Veal meat is bad, why, because of the way the calf is housed in a small cage unable to move, this causes the meat to be softer, but the calf is living a life of torture, not able to walk or even get up into a standing position!

To have a good meal of food on a Sunday, a meal of vegan foods. To eat fish. To live and let live, to love and let love.

THE OCEAN IS GREEN NOT BLUE

Tangled up in blue? Gone with the wind? How to come back to Earth where there is heaven, leaven, no heathens? What's a heathen? It's a heave ho, a pirate walking the plank jumping off the boat, a witch she does not float, drowning in her own tar pit filth, waves of a giant lake that are flooding the shores, no sandy beaches of recreation, instead whipping waves snatching stones circulating them smoothing them, a simple stone? A diamond? Or a golden but not olden nugget. An oyster shell, to ring the church bell on Sundays. Listen carefully you'll hear the sea inside of a seashell. A crab meat not artificial, real true, honest, no deceit, a name that is real, legal and not imagined, reality, goodness, wonderfulness, a name that rhymes with Mary, as merry. Skip skip skip to my Lou, skip to my Lou my darling.

FLOWERS EMPOWERED POWDERED POWERED RED

A bouquet [French] of prettiness a blossom a pistol in the middle of the blossom, powdered pollen on this pistol, allergic reactions to pollen keep the flowers outside clean filtered air inside. Ragweed, Hay Fever. Feverishly in love with flowers, floured bread feeling to sip afternoon tea for you and me and eat English Biscuits. Croissants. Cuteness as we gaze into the mirror. Mirror Mirror On the Wall who is the fairest one of all? Me and you cutey, two make one, one plus one is two, plus another one is Three...

Red and Green Geraniums flowers, leaves soft and furry like a Teddy Bear smooth sumptuous soft a bear without a beard, smooth men's skins not a mouthful of fuzziness, to spit out stray hairs. 

The Venus Fly Trap a flower of a people-eater, a flower with a blossom like jaws, Jaws a Florida shark, a white shark, shark teeth beaded as a necklace, the teeth of many sharks a feeling of a bite from a Shark into your neck vampires from this toothy necklace, rubies are red violets are blue, these rubies being precious stones not semi-precious, red rubies loving the color red! Red is a color of love and sincerity, kindness, sweetness, red candy life-saviours. Golden candy wrappers, made in Germany like Heineken Beer that comes in a green glass bottle and Mercedes Benz cars that do not bend, Volvo very nice, Volkswagen for us folks. Hondas panda bears in China and Toyotas fun children's toys are good cars too. 

The Mexican Jumping Bean, a flower that produces beans that jump. Migrants, Mexicans to jump over the fence (wall) and get into the USA The Land of Promise and Equality for Equal Housing and Equal Employment Opportunities All People, all Colors, Hispanic-American Month.

This Land Is Your Land This Land Is My Land.

SUNSHINE SUN RAYS WARMTH GOLDEN SUNTAN

Our sun? Our Son! What is goodness and can we feel this inherent goodness that is everywhere simply by feeling the warmth of the sunshine? Yes!!!

The Son is beautiful, the sun is good it is the center of our solar system but not in the exact center, approximately, the planets revolve around the sun and it remains the hottest fire, passion desire love belovedness anywhere in our world and in the worlds around us. To be like a soothing hot fire licking flames feeling like a dip in a steamy hot sauna a Jacuzzi hot red like spikes to boil water, yes, (not yeah) fire is red in color. But the actual color of the sun is green. Ripley's Believe It or Not! Yes, (not yeah), it's true the sun is green. 

To tan your skin, for it to be a golden brown tan, the touch of Midas, the Jordan King, whose touch turns your hand into gold. The sun cheeriness a happy sun a sun of love a sun to lighten your path to cause you to feel good because this Son is good. A tingling sensation of this Sun on your skin, makes you feel alive alive so you can love.

This comforting warmness, these sun rays, like golden brown spears arrows piecingly caressingly massaging upon your body skin sweetness not to get a burn, protection not to fly overly high, to maintain a balance, a scale of justice, equality with the sun in the middle in charge being the largest body of matter anywhere in the entire universe! 

The sun matters and all the people everywhere who rely on this Son matters too.

HORRIFIC HURRICANES RAINSTORMS THUNDERSTORMS EARTHQUAKES TSUNAMIS

Image result for storm destruction

Our weatherman how do you fair? Fair weather today? Lots of rain uncontrollable lightening strikes golfers splits trees in half halves haves have not, has been's tsunamis oceanic tidal waves flooding earthquakes quivering shaking trembling fearfulness hide under a table a chair in the basement away from blasted breaking clashing damaging flying glass windows. Splinters of glass shards piercing cutting deep keep from getting blown over, a helicopter sent to capture, no boats here. 

A canoe a motorboat a cruise ship named The Titanic. Women and children first. A thirstiness of water to drink sink: water water everywhere but not a drop to drink. What is "natural" water, natural water is polluted water. To save Lake Michigan to donate money regularly an amount per month, still no fish, homeless fishermen without a bite to eat. A sickly seagull must instead of fish to eat garbage, the remnants of a Hurricane of Damage. Famished. Trashed abashed.

A Hurricane named Dorian, He has an eye in the middle of his forehead windy winds, winds horrific tearing apart everything in its way. Bahamas, no more mamas no pure mother's milk sink sunk splashed no more islands, smashed. North Carolina, no longer singing carols, uh yeah no line dancing either. Demolished, doomed, no houses no gardens the rich became poor. "After death you can't take it with you." A house no longer standing, wooden or brick the thunder lightening and rains were just too thick.

To pray not for water to pray for dry land, no more cornfields 'cept in midwestern fields, Iowa tornadoes mild as can be just a mosquito there sweetly swept away. A sweep with a dust mop, sins under a rug, to cuddle up in a cotton blanket like a coo-ing peaceful dove. Two doves in love!!

A RIGID ROCK A STONE SLAVERY A BRICK WALL

Related image


A Yellow sturdy sandy solid compliant giant Egyptian Pyramid. Deserted in a desert. Mud. Bricks just for kicks many made of earthen clay, free the slaves break the bricks save the day, mix the clay with hay, a fallen smashed dead slave who did  not behave. A Wailing Wall a Western Wall, who to safely separate to reincarnate? A haystack Of Mice and Men, a hen a chicken coupe, a crop of hair a curling lock of a loop. Fruit Loops not made of real fruit.

Georgy porgy puddin' n pie. She's the spice of my eye, cinnamon, the peeling bark of a tree, not offensively, a bark from a dog who's swallowing everything hungrily like a hog. 

Rock n' roll rocks rolls. Rocks like white teeth, stones, golden rounded domes, the importance of washing a rock clean. Tossing a rock into a river, arrows into a quiver "teshuvah" Hebrew for forgiveness not to shiver dirty deeds wrong songs misdeeds. Sold a product that did not produce. Climbed a tree fell off a Spruce fallen  uninstallin' the broken neck of a goose. A battery for a car that has no energy at all. Solar white polar. A bear not to bare. A rock carved scraped created an Indian iron fiery flint. A scapegoat, a goats' sins, money mint, wandering prophetically holy signs sent gold mines, comfy cousins akin. 

Do you like rocks? Only diamonds. Why? Diamonds are a girl's best friend. Boyfriends over-rated. A kids' skateboard, one's childhood re-created. Your life is fated.

The sadness of a stone was skipped, flipped into lake water. To aim at a duck, to not aim well, my throw was short did not enter his heart. 

Well, where is she?? At her cottage, sipping morning porridge. Protein fiber very berry voltage. What did you eat? Blueberries, raspberries, red and blue, roses are red; violets are blue, one for you, because I love you! Is this the truth, couldn't be truer, yes, it's bluer, bluer is better. You're beautiful. Affection. A rock a monument not a sculpture, a rock as a slave's brick the beginning of the building of a holy Judaic Temple, rock by rock not a trick. 

To not forget your rock or your purse. A happy wonderful powerful Pet Rock. We love our rocks! A shiny garden of rocks, crawling roots a place of fossils, round back vertebrae bones not a sore leg to paint your garage with the bending of one knee bending both to kneel three times each day. To lift one's heels off the ground, walking a hound around, a heel lift a wooden stick, adrift. Moses to sweeten waters. Pure sugar cane there's no shame.

What is Lithuania. Latvia. Where. Nowhere near. A far away unfamiliar misplaced place of secular scientific literary fun philosophic philosophy: Earth, Water, Skies, Air. Your face is lovely fair. An inborn understanding of the elegant importance of a brainy Scientific Fair. What do you know? The Earth Revolves Around the Sun, the Moon around the Earth. Einstein's MC2: five square knots on each tassel, no hassle.

Reforming the Reform Reformed, Mathematics, Geometry, Counting Cash, Counting Minyan Members, Dollars, One Hundred, 1000 K. He's a Billionaire a Politician Bought His Way. Who Paid the Bill, His Own Donations In Business He Has Skill.   

Affection not affliction ammunition a rock a sling slung a song sung a vibrating tongue a rubber band a David King, not a scary King Kong: A Giant Gorilla, Megillah Gorilla, I prefer chocolate not vanilla!

A chocolate cocoa dream of a nightmarish nightmare a chest-beating giant brown-furred monkey who's not the key. A Titanic boat selling electronic spices still afloat. Chinese tariffs wearing down trades not traded. 

Frankincense, makes no sense. For is four is fur, Beaver trapping in a contraption. The sensibility of senselessness one only needs common sense, costs just two cents.

SOUNDS FISHY TO ME

Image result for fish
Camping? Fishing? "No we do not fish." Who fishes and who does not, and what this means is who likes fish and who does not, or whether or not one can stand the sport of killing fish, fresh, fishy, and then chopping off the head, take a bite. 

Kosher fish only. What does this mean, Kosher fish only, it means no shark, no predatorial meat eating fish, no shellfish, no catfish, no swordfish. To eat only fish with fins and scales: this is Kosher fish eating. The Hebrew people asked God for fish, not meat. We prefer fish to meat, and always have, generations to generations of eating healthy fish as a preference over animal meat.

Eating a shark can turn its eater into a shark. To bite everyone with your sharp incisor teeth, as a shark would, to be mean, hostile, man-eating. What does the Torah say about those who worship an alien god instead of our Lord? That he will eat himself and his children alive. Craving meat that contains blood? Kosher meat has no blood, we use salt smeared onto the meat that soaks up the blood from the inside of the meat, and then we brush it off. Torah says never to consume bloody meat. Blood is the life source of the animal, the blood contains the souls of the animal. To allow a slaughtered animal to have a soul that rests in peace.

So what is fishy? There are many fishy fishes, breaded fish, beer battered fish, blue gills, salmon that is also smoked lox. Nova Scotia lox. Lox as a fish, orange in color, a healthy complexion, as one could eat sweet potatoes and this causes an orange healthy tint to the face, to look like an angel. The Carnitine nutrient in the sweet potato is the ingredient that causes orange facial coloring. Healthy, not a problem. Looks like a golden suntan, shining like an angel.

To use a fish-scaler that when rubbed on the fish's scales rips off the scales, one by one, so we can eat this fish, not to choke on its scales. 

The eye of the fish, never closes, it does not blink, the eyes of most fish stay open. When a fish is prepared for a meal, its eyes too stay open, not to eat the bony head. The tail is good, but not the back fins. To use sliced cucumbers and toothpick them over the fish to look like scales, after the real scales have been scraped off.

One fish two fish red fish blue fish. We end up with two instead of one, and a blue fish instead of a red fish. Can we mate these two fish the red and the blue and get a purple fish! The Proverbs from the Writings instruct all women to wear some purple everyday. Purple to represent the respect of "people of color". Purpling people.

LIONS IN LOVE



Point just an index finger into moving waters [not still waters] and derive a cleanness a pureness of heart, a heart that protects itself, not a heart that is hung out dangling on a limb, a heart that knows who to love and when, and when not to. 

Can you say "I love you?" Can you say "sweetie, honey, sweet heart, wonderful, dearest?" "I love you very much!" Why not? The Torah tells us to have affection for each other. Love? Yes, love is not a dirty word. 4-letters yes, but not a swear word. If you feel this word love is tainted, [a word of romance] then instead say "affection, empathy, sympathy, mercy, lovingkindness, truth, wonderment, attachment, sincerity, desire, passion".

Feel better? Not hung out dry on a limb in a relationship of unrequited "love"?

So, does Mick Jagger help us to feel a strong powerful mightiness, and The Beatles? Bob Dylan. Joan Baez? Carol King. 

Go for it! Feel their strength as they sing as if to sing only to you in a personal one-to-one love song, for you only, individually. As they sing this beautiful singing causes joyousness, a feeling of rejoicing.

An alertness, a sounding like that of a Shofar [ram's horn]. Can you blow a Shofar? A Shofar can be blown by a woman for other women. A Rebbitzen? [Rabbi's wife?] Woman Rabbi? Yes!

The power of a great lion roaring mouth open wide as he protects his lionesses. A kosher meat ram sacrificed by Abraham instead of a human, not to murder his son Isaac. Angels who came down from heaven to redirect Abraham to save his son's life. To eat a good nutritious healthy meal of lamb chops instead.

Righteousness, goodness, greatness. To life! [not death] L' Chaim!

TORAH IS SUSTENANCE

Image result for SHABBAT MEAL


Water, sprinkles of water everywhere but not a drop to drink, to call pray for purple rain, seeded Cumulus clouds, not a raindrop to be had, not a teardrop. To must pray for rain, on Sukkot as well as other days, to beg the clouds to open to drizzle on our gardens, our farms, bird baths, ocean waters not to recede off our beaches, beaches becoming smaller, an infringement on our recreational beach parks, heavy splashing tides rolling in closer and closer pushing the sands up onto the shores, ducks frollicking geese flying seagulls diving. 

Red flag up no swimming, yellow flag up swim with caution, green flag up swim as you wish. Blessed to be living on/near a beach of moving waters, mikvah, a touch of a finger not to need total immersion. 

A large fish that swallowed Jonah, a humungus white whale Moby Dick, the blubber of a slaughtered Canadian whale as chewing gum, careful to not wear down the teeth. Eskimos in igloos all year round, blocks of ice built up to form a wall, blocking the cold frigid windy air, a circular shelter, no homelessness among the Eskimos. Padded down with blue, purple and red-dyed wool.

Ice fishing scooping in the middle of a frozen lake, a hole drilled burrowed deeply into the icy surface to put in a hook and sinker, to uplift Blue Gills as fish, fish more desirable than meat, the Hebrews preferred fish to meat. Sustenance. Fish oil, fins and scales kosher fish. Not a swearing Swordfish not a cussing Catfish. Not a swishing shellfish. No mean ugly Sharks, teeth as swords, weapons, no scales. Not predatory fish, not fish that eat meat. Vegan animals: sheep, goats, bulls, pigeons, rams.

"Where there is Torah there is sustenance, where there is no sustenance there is no Torah."

Kosher meats and Vegan eating, salads' green lettuce. 

Let us to have prayed, eaten, drank and been joyous! To have sung Selah! The Hallel.

A PIRATES' TREASURE MAP FOUND UNDER WATER

Image result for treasure map in a bottle

Oi! Ahoy! A bottle of rum and a yo ho ho! A shot of whisky, golden yellow Gold Rush nuggets, a quick slippery slurp to empty the shot glass, carnival glass, etchings on the glass, a small thick glass, glass composed of silica sand. 
Where to find this treasure map? Under and into the sands of the beach, a moving waters beach, to just insert your hand into the water and you come out clean! 
Mr. Clean wore earrings, a nose ring, was he a slave? 
The Hebrew People transposed from being slaves to the Egyptians into becoming the Leaders of the World, Internationally, Chieftains, Priests: Kohen, Levi, Nazirite, Prophets, Na'avim. Which of these five are you? Or an Israelite Priest? An Israelite Priestess? Batyah, the Egyptian Princess who helped the baby Moshe out of the River Nile? To raise him as her own child. He to love her as his own real Mother. His true birth Mother paid by the Egyptians to raise her Moshe child, the love of the biological mother-to-son true love bond relationship: lovingkindness, courage, honesty. 
Where does this treasure map lead us to? Blue waters, blue skies, a deep blue horizon that separates the seas from the skies. 
Comfortable shoes for walking hiking, tip-toeing in the sand, a bicycle to ride on a path, a journey along the beach waters, rubber tires filled up with air to the brim, a silver bike tire rim, to desire a new car vehicle, to be a child in a playground and climb up and down Jacob's Ladder in a park. 
Following the angels, we are second only to the angels. An angel to put his arm around your shoulders, to massage your back, to knead your neck and back of head with strong firm hands, all stress leaving the body and brain, to wash off to be pure in these natural moving waters.
She sent me a treasure map, postal mail. Who to love, what is her advice? To like everyone. To love God.
