Enga mellom fjella: where from across the meadow, poems sing from mountains and molehills.

Enga mellom Fjella




Sentinel

         Marked
                   as if you own me
I bow before the Bitterroots
and just like you
                   my rocky soil, my withered grass
                   lays prey to the empty sky.

...to know exactly what to do.

I posted this at facebook:

To those who feel that the complex situations we face need simple and immediate solutions:

The president (no matter who) is never on vacation; he's always kept informed. Also, it's not possible for anyone, even with an intelligence network, to be all-knowing. Those who wanted God to be prez should've voted for him.

Hasty action (Iraq and "weapons of mass destruction") or inaction (Rwanda) are both fraught with consequences.

We live in a complicated world. At present the U.S. has a prez who works quietly and cautiously from behind. Much of the U.S. public on-the-other-hand would seem to prefer a leader that's more like a gangster movie star...

Only time will tell what would've been best for everyone. And history will be written by the victors.

Me:

Got up and out at a decent time today. Yesterday I slept in (far too long) but at least I was cheery!

Edited photos. Boiled underwear... as usual. Vacuumed!

Last night, I nearly got run over by someone who ran the red-light while I was in the crosswalk. An epidemic in this town it seems.

Will try to accomplish more today.

Tom gave me chocolate... a great way to begin the day.

And it's bright, shiny and cool outside. Heat saps my energy, although it will warm up. Not quite autumn yet but summer is broken.

Feeling un-tethered... as in "floating away". And not in a good way. But, life goes on... and on... and on...
