Bio
Most of this journal is public, but there are also private entries with pictures, poems, and such, viewable only by friends. Friends are selected through the rigorous process of adding everyone who has added me as a friend, as well as adding some who haven't.

If you do not post for more than a year, I likely will remove you from my friends list. However, if you wander back after I've removed you, please let me know the good news and I'll add you back.

Gift by Czeslaw Milosz

A day so happy.
Fog lifted early, I worked in the garden.
Hummingbirds were stopping over honeysuckle flowers.
There was no thing on earth I wanted to possess.
I knew no one worth my envying him.
Whatever evil I had suffered, I forgot.
To think that once I was the same man did not embarrass me.
In my body I felt no pain.
When straightening up, I saw the blue sea and sails.

"Now, though, I realize that all I can place in the imperfect vessel of writing are imperfect memories and imperfect thoughts." - Huraki Murakami, Norwegian Wood
