I love poetry. Absolutly love it. It stirs my soul in a way that I almost don't understand myself. It can make me feel about ten different things at once. This year I want to read and write more poetry...simply because I enjoy it so much.
A word is dead when it is said, some say. I say it just begins to live that day.
Anger as soon as fed is dead - 'Tis starving makes it fat.
Beauty is not caused. It is.
I do not like the man who squanders life for fame; give me the man who living makes a name.
If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold no fire can ever warm me, I know that is poetry.
There is no Frigate like a book to take us lands away nor any coursers like a page of prancing Poetry.
To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else.
Truth is so rare that it is delightful to tell it.
~Emily Dickinson

In memory of....
MY EARRINGS!!!!
You experience the world with me
tis very very true
and when my ear is naked
I am very very blue
Please find your way back to me
as soon as you can
my ears are very lonely
and I am very sad.
Death: November 24, 2006. Cause: Eaten by very potent contact solution.

Brother Willow
Weeping willow,
Can I join thee?
Weeping ever so silently.
Let me lay myself beneath thee,
Let me let they tears engulf me.
I don’t desire any other company.
Just thy tears,
And my melancholy.
Can I join thee?
Weeping ever so silently.
Let me lay myself beneath thee,
Let me let they tears engulf me.
I don’t desire any other company.
Just thy tears,
And my melancholy.

Are you kidding me?
While taking lunch at work, I'll occasionally look at the news headlines for the day at msn.com. This one definitely caught my eye:
IT'S SNOW JOKE: SAN DIEGAN TRAINS IN FREEZER FOR ANTARCTIC ULTRA MARATHON
These days, I can maybe, maybe run a mile. Much less a half marathon. But, I do have a lot of respect for people that are blessed to run. And for this guy, Mike Pierce, well, maybe intrigued is the best word. Because he's going to Antarctica to run more than a marathon. To be precise, he's running 62.1 miles. In Antarctica.
Now to prepare, and this also caught my eye, he's running in a 60 x 40 freezer, with most of his gear on. (Kinda sounds like an advertisement for L.L. Bean or Land's End as you read about his different layers of clothing.) The freezer stays at about -5 degrees. I always enjoyed running in cooler weather. Something about the way the wind hits you right in the lungs, and you can feel the crisp air. But, I am in no hurry to try out -5 conditions.
Pierce said that last year there was a total of 9 runners. And that simply to finish was like winning a medal because you had not only finished the run, but you had survived. Now that sounds like a competition.
