sadly disdainful,
tone
in earlier messages.

Even worse,

Benighted Enlightenment

Potawatomi language,

For example,
we use sit down
when speaking to an unruly son
and set down
when...

Refugees From Blue States, Part Ii

'soldiers' of the environment,
anyone wants to build something,
they march and sue to prevent.
Now natural conservation
is in itself not a bad thing,
but blue state folk seem to forget
there is a need...

To Know This

And so it exists, to be filled.

Honor, chivalry, are not a farce.

Wasted time, kills.

Opportunity, is but a jest.

Only one moon, many stages.

Time befriends, the hand of grace.

Faith is willing love is open hope, is honest.

I wear your love like a garment, like a sheet it covers me.
It drapes over my shoulders and wraps around my waist.
It blankets my heart.
As natives wear headdresses and tribesmen wear beads, identifying their clan,...

A story in and of itself, was he -

Artists

Within the marrow of the mind
There is a sacred scale.
It weighs the properties of life,
And then constructs a tale.

Between the world and the divine,
Artists measure the worth
Of every image they foresee,
In heaven and on earth.

Please Take the Time

So many times we see someone in need
Most walk by while they piteously plead
Plead for help that may not come
Plead for love because they have none
So many people just don't take the time
To support their...

Robin

So astonished
Was I when I saw you,
From my safe little corner across
The room,
Behind the glass like all the pastries
That were available to me
Not barred by the displays indeed,
I watch you move.

The indulgence of the moment,
