that strange flower, the sun,
is just what you say.
have it your way.
the world is ugly,
and the people are sad.
that tuft of jungle feathers,
that animal eye,
is just what you say.
that savage of fire,
that seed,
have it your way.
the world is ugly,
and the people are sad.
-Wallace Stevens, gubbinal
In light of the VA Tech horrors, today is only for sending out well wishes and prayers to everyone in the area, everyone who is looking for or now missing family members and friends, and taking the time to be glad for the time we have and to make the most of it.
Today is for nothing else.
Stay safe.

Was hoping to hear about your trip, but you are very right. Some things are much more important.
Thanks for reminding me.
