I CELEBRATE myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
I loafe and invite my soul,
I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass.
My tongue, every atom of my blood, form’d from this soil, this
air,
Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their
parents the same,
I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin,
Hoping to cease not till death.
— Walt Whitman
April is over. May moon.
How many more for my regard,
hundreds, a handful?
Better not trouble the dark water due north of north.
Better to concentrate on something close, something small.
This stick, for instance. This word.
–Charles Wright

Awwwwww. GREAT way to start my day! THANKS
We need now more than ever the lovely things. Thank you
It’s 56 degrees, sun is shining, the breeze is cool, so me and my mutt Shannon sat on the park bench in the sun for a spell, grabbing up all the vitamin D we could. Since 1984 we’ve had at least 1 mutt continuously and can’t imagine how life would be with out one. A good and constant friend. She doesn’t like it though when I hit a 12th fret B pinch harmonic. Most strange.
That’s one sweet looking ol’ dog. Has the demeanor of my 15 year old girl, Elsa.
WOOF!!!

If you are still in need of some more wonderful stuff, try out the Bird Song from female folk trio “The “Wailing Jennys”. It starts out beautiful (@1:09) and builds to a climax in the third stanza when the three women sing a round (ie, like Three Blind Mice)
The third stanza is jaw dropping .. you’ll see
