Nicholas Knapp, Puritan Pioneer in America

My 10th great grandfather was a Puritan weaver, lay physician, miller, and farmer.  He arrived in Watertown, Massachusetts in 1630 with the Winthrop Fleet, probably on the ship Arrabella.  He moved to Connecticut where he is buried in Stamford.

The MA Colonial Records, under date of March 1, 1630/31, shows that Nicholas KNOP (KNAPP), was fined five pounds for taking upon himself to cure the scurvy by water of no worthe or value, which he sold at a very deare rate. The water had been found beneficial and the suit dropped upon payment of costs.  This may have been his entire lay physician career.  His will is recorded, which gives us a glimpse into his worldly possessions.

Tethys, Mother of the Sea

May 5, 2015 — 5 Comments

Tethys is a Titan goddess, daughter of Gaia and Uranus. Her job title is mother of the sea.  She works together with Nyx and Gaia to form the Titan’s world.  She and her husband Oceanus have 3000 daughters called Oceanids.  Their 3000 sons are fresh water entities called Potamoi.  The earth’s constitution of 80% water is similar to that of our bodies’, 80-90%.  The tides and waves of deep and constant churning represent the emotions, the realm of feelings.  This goddess was mentioned in poetry, but was never worshiped by a cult.  Today one of Saturn’s moons is named for her.  Saturn III, as it is also known, has a low density because it is made of ice , with very little rock.

To ride the tides of outrageous fortune in life we must handle our own emotions and those of people around us.  There may be times the feelings of others threaten to drown us.  It can be difficult to distinguish the heart’s desire from the desires of our loved ones and associates.  The message Tethys brings us is to allow the energy of emotions to flow freely through us.  Stay true to your own heart, and remain open.  The open releasing state allows strong waves to flow through without causing damage.  Go with the current rather than struggle to defend or retain emotional stuff from others.  Your feelings move you to a calm destination when you let go and float on the surface.  There may be turmoil, but you can rise above it.

Summer Spa

There are beautiful facilities with amazingly talented staff members designed to deliver health and fitness retreats. Destination spas, hot spring thermal spas, or spas within hotels provide environments conducive to relaxation for time spent away from home. Time spent breaking undesirable habits or simply reducing stress for a happier healthier outlook is valuable. It is wonderful to find both time and funds to concentrate on body and mind. The test of healthy resolve occurs when we are once again in our normal day to day  setting. This summer I plan to stay home in Tucson. Rather than lament these circumstances I have decided to create summer spa, the staycation that cures what ails you. The trick to good health is balance and reasonable discipline. I can’t spare the time to leave home, but I can arrange my schedule to make daily, weekly and monthly health goals part of my routine.

  • Calculate- Using the Fitbit program I will log food, water, sleep and exercise
  • Donate- Fill a large bag of unwanted items to give to charity monthly
  • Juice Bar- Monday-Thursday make and drink fresh juice and avoid alcohol
  • Body Work- Shiatsu, acupuncture, or lymphatic drainage at least once a week
  • Fitness Shuffle-Attempt a new class or active experience twice a month
  • At the gym-Daily aerobic activity derived from equipment use or swimming laps

First and foremost my plan for better health will include daily time for art.  Poetry writing and creating visual art satisfy a need I have to express myself.  I notice that when I am absorbed in thinking about art or music I live in an elevated state.  Artfulness gives me great pleasure.  I am at my best when I reserve time to appreciate the work of others and be inspired to create something myself.  I include cooking in the list of my creative hobbies.  It works well for me to shift my attention to new healthy ways to prepare food.  The pleasure involved in mixing flavors and savoring the finished meal is essential to my well being. I can add a colorful and delightful juice bar rather than consider giving up alcohol.  In the end it is only the sustainable habits that will make a difference.  Too much repression or strict diet can make the mind recoil from the entire business. It is best to have a plan, build your foundation, and be a little flexible to account for real life.

What kind of summer are you going to have, gentle reader? Do you include health as a goal when making your plans?

During the exciting and educational April #NaPoWriMo I managed to kick out 30 poems in 30 days.   I will follow the poets I met because they make my days richer with only short bursts of time invested. I can read a poem for a minute or two and ponder it forever.  I love the community that develops around the special poetry writing month and plan to keep my connection to it.  I have learned that the process of writing poems is therapeutic .  While engaged in poetic efforts I happened to digitally meet new people who are as interesting to me as the poets.  Much to my surprise, my niche geek group, family history freaks, is alive and meeting regularly to share data and support.

This new group found me, or I found it on Facebook. New England Family Genealogy and History is a special interest group for those of us who study these subjects. I am delighted to find people as obsessed with history as I am.  Some of them still carry the Mayflower pilgrim family names.  There have been wonderful pictures and stories posted in which I have identified members as having common ancestors.  This is a full time party of like minded genealogy freaks I can join on line any time.  Be still my heart!  People who have much more direct information and verification are there to help anyone with inquiries.  The first ancestor I found  I had in common with other members was my famous poet, Ann Dudley Bradstreet, who may be my favorite ancestor of all.  In a few weeks I have met others with whom I share different progenitors.  A recent discussion revealed that others share perhaps Native ancestry.  Like me, few can definitively prove a connection to a tribe.

Some of the active participants are professional genealogists or family archivists of large collections.  Plenty are DAR and Mayflower Society members.  Many live in New England now and are connected to local societies for the preservation of everything under the sun.  I enjoy learning about some of the old buildings that have stayed in family hands for hundreds of years.  I feel a tinge of jealousy when they go off to Providence to a genealogy convention for the weekend.  Then I remember that to live in New England one must endure snow and other unpleasantries.  I may return to Cape Cod and Rhode Island on a history hunt one day.  For now I am very pleased to be in touch with history fans who share interest, passion, and loads of information about New England and the people who have lived there.  I can digitally visit every day.  You can too if New England History is an interest of yours.

Woods dripping with Spanish moss and voodoo shrines

Down the hill from the oracle cave the hermit still declines

To give you the secret magic word you use to save the day

Find the sorcerer’s manuscripts then interpret what they say

Squandered youth, wild stormy stories, hidden truth of night

Dreams bring colorful vibrant myths, strong  psychic insight

The realm inhabited by poetry and poets, invisible to some

Portrays life more intensely, gives clues to why we have come

Ancestral chieftain ritually bound to honor natural forces
Protect the seasons, the directions, the winds over the seas
Passing that mastery to students of physical magical realms
Thunderous laughter is carried and amplified on the breeze
Followed by flashing bolts of lightening, blinding light overwhelms

Truth by Mother Goose

field of sunflowers

Early years fill with nursery rhymes, stories designed to teach

Suspended between fictional characters dialog is made to preach

Current popular opinion, political outrage hidden between the lines

The villain and the hero match wits whilst the wicked witch opines

These morality plays change very little with the passage of time

Forces of good conquer evil and the story is set to rhyme

When you meet a character who comes straight from Mother Goose

You have discovered archetypal imagery that will help you to deduce

If you are the victim or the hero, the popular victor or the slimy creep

We all have parts to play, ego hiding under shadowy cover of sleep

Oil Field Orphans

Ruby and Her Sisters Ruby and Her Sisters

The Taylor sisters of Humble, Texas met tragedy early in life

Their mother died in childbirth leaving ten children in grief and strife

Their father rode a black horse around the oil field reading gauges

Recording the data from each well in production for very low wages

When their father killed himself at home he was discovered by his son

Who was only 5 years old. The deed could never be undone.

They had no preparation or reserves for this sudden change

Suicide had swept away home and security, memories forever stained

Electing Apathy

Thorny issues

Thorny issues

The candidates align on left and right with eager well lit faces

Chirping sound bites with sincere well tested spinning phrases

They will sprawl all over the airwaves, call your home and send mail

Proclaiming vague tattered arguments that strike everyone as stale

We will resume campaigns for presidential power through bribery

Lavish spending on election shenanigans supports the corrupt dynasty

To protect yourself from Republicans and Democrats you must be firm

Political parties spend like sailors spreading untruths to make you squirm

As they trot out their make up and their speeches, reject the fallacious

Look at the images they are projecting and recognize the mendacious

After the spending and insincere rhetoric we elect  the same jerks

As if nobody has been paying attention to the way this all works

I ate my first artichoke in New Orleans in the French Quarter

I was a teenager on the town at Antoine’s, an establishment so fine

It arrived looking  exotic, next to a giant bowl of melted butter

I was instructed in the art of thistle consumption, then treated to a sip of wine

I don’t remember the rest of the menu or what else we ate for supper

I decided to adopt flower tasting as a permanent feature of my lifestyle design

My parents didn’t bother with the labor intensive green gourmet delight

I liked the way it revealed itself, required each leaf to be a separate bite

I have a vivid memory of the atmosphere and the formal setting we had

It was fun to discover a dish I loved to eat, with the bonus that it irritated my dad
