Grasslands Park Last week and I will start updating again.

 

"do u understand what heaven is it is the surround of the living" 

James Merrill

The Changing Light at Sandover

Northern Flickers at the front porch over the last two days. (Better than the news)

"I lived in the first century of world wars.

Most mornings I would be more or less insane,
The newspapers would arrive with their careless stories,
The news would pour out of various devices
Interrupted by attempts to sell products to the unseen."

from Poem by Muriel Rukeyser

Tick Tock

“Have you ever heard a blindfolded octopus unwrap a cellophane-covered bathtub?”

Another summer another round of antibiotics. But enough about the ticks, time for some Tock, so I have pulled out the philosophy text by which I mean to organize my life.



“For instance," said the boy again, "if Christmas trees were people and people were Christmas trees, we'd all be chopped down, put up in the living room, and covered in tinsel, while the trees opened our presents."
"What does that have to do with it?" asked Milo.
"Nothing at all," he answered, "but it's an interesting possibility, don't you think?”

Because life is about possibilities, isn't it?



“The most important reason for going from one place to another is to see what's in between, and they took great pleasure in doing just that.”
