Welcome to the New American Digest: 2003-2020
From my youth up I never liked the city.
I never forgot the mountains where I was born.
The world caught me and harnessed me
And drove me through dust, thirty years away from home.
Migratory birds return to the same tree.
Fish find their way back to the pools where they were hatched.
I have been over the whole country,
And I have come back at last to the garden of my childhood.
My farm is only ten acres.
The farm house has eight or nine rooms.
Elms and willows shade the back garden.
Peach trees stand by the front door.
The village is out of sight.
You can hear dogs bark in the alleys,
And cocks crow in the mulberry trees.
When you come through the gate into the court
You will find no dust or mess.
Peace and quiet live in every room.
I am content to stay here the rest of my life.
At last I have found myself.
— Tao Yuan Ming (Tao Qian) Chinese, 365-427

It took him a long time to get a baseball in that series of sportsballs, but he finally managed it toward the end. His next project should be an unassisted triple play.

I especially liked the rake. But I’m not sure why.
But it doesn’t have any looting, or burning, or one guy down on the ground while a dozen joggers put the boot in. It’s whimsical and inspiring. Thank you, Gerard.
I agree! HH, that’s just what I was about to comment too. I laughed at the rake part, not sure why.
