Blogger blogging near Seattle
I have a great fondness for Seattle’s KEXP and the band Pearl Jam. And this story by John Richards reinforces that further. The community that’s formed around both the band and the radio station are filled with decent, caring, compassionate, wonderful people. It’s a key part of what makes Seattle a great place to live.
For so great a mind
Those who understand “Assay”
Others are tested
Why do we loathe such
These creatures that adapt well
To our wastefulness
Squirrels, rats, myriad insects, and so many other creatures that have adapted well to living in the shadow of humanity. These we loathe, finding beauty in those struggling to find a place in the world we’re rapidly changing.
Between light and dark
Where love and anguish loiter
With snow upon leaves
My place
Is everywhere
And nowhere
Anywhere the sun
Shines or rain
Descends with
Grace and beauty
The sun stretches me
Solar motion elongates
Sun in brutal cold
Walking along the Edmonds Waterfront. With the strong wind from the north, the air was brisk, cold. Bright and sunny later in the day, which made our mid-afternoon walk much more pleasant.
Rage’s engine roars
A machine that churns out death
While rotting out souls
Seems this is the favorite piece of equipment to operate anymore.
There are many fears
They will never be lonely
I can leave them be
It’s so hard, sometimes, to disentangle from my fears. They are so deeply interwoven into my life. Yet I’ve rooted out many over the years.
May you be freed from fear’s inertia. From its attempts to rob you of joy and wonder.
And may your Sunday recharge and invigorate you.
Birds break the silence
No cares for propriety
Suburbia’s charms
I hope your Friday night we lovely. Tis now time for slumber to dominate.
