If you cannot be the poet, be the poem. - D. Carradine

"I'm not telling you to make the world better, because I don't think that progress is necessarily part of the package. I'm just telling you to live in it. Not just to endure it, not just to suffer it, not just to pass through it, but to live in it. To look at it. To try to get the picture. To live recklessly. To take chances. To make your own work and take pride in it. To seize the moment. And if you ask me why you should bother to do that, I could tell you that the grave's a fine and private place, but none I think do there embrace. Nor do they sing there, or write, or argue, or see the tidal bore on the Amazon, or touch their children. And that's what there is to do and get it while you can and good luck at it." - Joan Didion

A crazy Poem I would be!
On my blogger page, I saw this photo, where I have you listed under "blogs I follow"...it warmed me like your email.
Gleaning from Howards End of late, and inspired by your last two postings, I leave you this:
"The present flowed by them like a stream. The tree rustled. It had made music before they were born, and would continue after their deaths, but its song was of the moment. The moment had passed. The tree rustled again. Their senses were sharpened, and they seemed to apprehend life. Life passed. The tree rustled again." ~e.m. forster
Is that a picture from your wedding? Love it!! (and you posted it on our 9th wedding anniversary, what a cool coincidence!)
I love this picture so, so much. Missing you and Andrew. :( I have no one to make me feel less crazy when I buy string cheese and ice cream at 10PM down in Seattle.
hey!! love it!
