BACK in the saddle again!

"In this eternal palingenesis by which continents themselves are forever laid
to rest and reborn anew out of their dead selves, nothing is static, nothing
is still. Not even the great pyramid of the Colorado. Everything is alive,
dynamic with constant change. Even the stones breathe; water is electric; the
air is luminous . . . . . . the great red river, as the instrument in the
hand of change, has written its ultimate meaning on the vast palimpsest of
the living land. Here, if only for an instant, we can sometimes read it,
still engraven on the pages of its uncovered terraces . . . We measure
minutes. The river ignores millenniums."
-- FRANK WATERS

The sage should serenely contemplate such a wondrous palimpsest in humility,
without desire to add to, or detract from it. And the poet need not descend
into Hell to describe it...

Not yet. After reading about The Maze in Edward Abbey and Tony Hillerman's
books, and seeing aerial videos, I have wished to slowly fly over it in a
blimp...

Here's a family portrait:

My favorite teenage poet explained himself thusly:

"Maintenant, je m'encrapule le plus possible. Pourquoi ? Je veux être poète,
et je travaille Ã* me rendre voyant : vous ne comprendrez pas du tout, et je
ne saurais presque vous expliquer. Il s'agit d'arriver Ã* l'inconnu par le
dérèglement de tous les sens. Les souffrances sont énormes, mais il faut être
fort, être né poète, et je me suis reconnu poète. Ce n'est pas du tout ma
faute. C'est faux de dire : Je pense : on devrait dire : On me pense. −
Pardon du jeu de mots. −"

Some may be wicked, and some may be despicable. Only when I put myself in their position did I know they are more miserable than I. So forgive all that you have met, no matter what kind of persons they are.________powerleveling world of warcraft power leveling world of warcraft powerleveling world of warcraft power leveling world of warcraft powerleveling from http://www.wowgold1000.com
