The Land of Melting Shadows: RING! RING! Is this the Exorcist?

The Land of Melting Shadows

There once was a land, no further away than your imagination. A Land where the Trees’ whispers can be heard on the wind. And the squirrels chitter and chatter as they scamper to and fro amongst the branches - playing their endless game of tag.

A Land where the Brooks babble endlessly amid fern covered banks. Fish and Tadpoles play a game of Leapfrog in the clear, cool water and Turtles sunbathe nearby.

A Land where the tall Grasses sway in the breeze as if dancing to a distant tune. Wild flowers wave their petals at the busy Bees who fly by; Beckoning to them. Enticing them.

A Land where the Deer graze peacefully in the lush, green valleys. A Land where the Birds and the Faeries gather in the bushes of an evening to share the day's gossip. And the Frog serenade, with Cricket accompaniment, continues well into the night.

A Land where the morning sun melts the night into the shadows of the day. And at sunset the shadows melt into night. But there are times when the shadows melt into things best left to one’s imagination.

A Land of Melting Shadows.

RING! RING! Is this the Exorcist?

Hubby and I recently were having dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant. It was a slow night and not many people were there. Across the room from us were a dozen men. It became evident by their discussion that they were all members of a church prayer/study group. (Church groups can often be found meeting at the local restaurants.)

About half-way through dinner, another couple was seated at the table next to us. Not long after being seated, the couple's cell phone rang. Quite loudly I might add. The ring was the theme to the EXORCIST.

The significance was lost on those in the room.......

If you guys didn't burst out laughing, I a have to applaud your self control. I would have had to leave my table due to a fit of the giggles. :); January 18, 2011 at 10:29 AM

Joane said...: I forgot to add that the ring tone my son has when I call him is from the exorcist, or is it Friday the 13th? My son loves me very much. He does, he really does!; January 18, 2011 at 2:46 PM
Sandra said...: Alas the significance would have been lost on me too, because I'm a big ol' chicken and can't watch anything in which the actor's head is spinning.
But I love the concept of it: church guys vs. music depicting demonds. Yup. Works for me.; January 19, 2011 at 7:00 AM
Jeanne said...: Mr. Macabre ~ We would've gladly bought the couple a margarita, but alas! we live in a dry county.

Danni, not real sure about old to young ratio. I forgot to check.....

Sandra, you got it!!! The idea of music from a 'demon' movie with a lot of church guys present was truly a priceless moment! :0); January 19, 2011 at 7:54 AM
