Yes this baby is definitely of the "...SarahA,<br /><br />Yes this baby is definitely of the "flow through" species. Sometimes that way of running-on just seems to allow a truer capture of the thoughts as they come.<br /><br />About seeing beauty in everything, or at least having a go at it, I think maybe the inclination would come from the not wanting to miss anything because you sense (maybe not quite consciously, but still) you might not have another chance... I guess maybe you know what I am talking about here.<br /><br /> I would think this sort of thing is probably pretty common, and natural, as one gets older.<br /><br />And too, some of these industrially polluted sunsets over the ocean are... dare one say it... almost too gorgeous for words.<br /><br />(It's like artificially enhanced photographs, a fine line between the gorgeous and the garish.)<br /><br />___<br /><br />Leigh,<br /><br />Thank you -- and looking at those phrases again I am suddenly struck by the fact I seem to have given the earth's atmosphere a scholarship to some heavenly cooking school!<br /><br /><br />___ <br /><br /><br />Lucy,<br /><br />And on the ninth day my check will be in the mail to you for saying that. (Besitos...)<br /><br />___<br /><br /><br />O worthy Bow-man, alone,<br />thy cold thin wafer<br />silences the moonlight.<br /><br />Fare not forth <br />without full reckoning,<br />O friend. And for your augury:<br /><br />The lady of the manor hath <br />spoke with the Sibyl<br />and sayeth: "New Zealand!"<br /><br />To which the court fool<br />cartwheeling 'cross the dirt floor<br />chanted his antiphons:<br /><br />"Amsterdam!"<br /><br />"Canada!" <br /><br />But not to blaspheme further:<br />as a sparrow the matter it seems<br />must rest in the Lord's hand.<br /><br />__<br /><br />"A voice, as from a cherub choir,<br />Gales from blooming Eden bear,<br />And distant warblings lessen on my ear<br />That lost in long futurity expire"TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915822857461178942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-86076776630823809062009-11-03T00:25:07.113-08:002009-11-03T00:25:07.113-08:00apologies:

I have also marvelled at how there is often such beauty to be found - even in destruction. Only when faced with losing something do we see the beauty.
