The River and the Sea
"The river is within us, the sea is all about us . . ."
— T S Eliot (Four Quartets)
How does the river run within the sea?
Like the coyote, bounding deer-like
in the soy bean field last evening,
and behind him the honeyed sun
a young girl’s hair, cascading among
the trees. He distanced gradually
from the road we cycled, his body
now disappearing beneath
the shrubby, wavy green, now
reappearing in the bob and bounce
of a cork retreating from shore. Like
a dream. Like a secret stone that leaps
as the sun sets, an opal, a tiger’s eye,
to the horizon, until he and the sun are one.

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.

:) too funny. it's all good, I'm on there too
aaarrggh. another who has fallen.
...so, do you want to play lexulous (scrabble) with me?
FaceBook is addicting.
It really is a good way to stay in touch.
Hey, Char, wanna be my friend?
Oh yeah, Sanna! I love Scrabble, but just remember, if I lose, it's because I let you win! ;)
So, Kate? You're on there, too? Wanna friend me?
You are funny. It can really draw you in. I joined Twitter after the Iran protest, but I really haven't been back since. But Facebook is way fun, and I'm addicted to Scramble. My boss and I spend too many hours trying to beat each other (to show each other who's boss). At the moment I am ahead of him. How nice to beat an English professor at a word game, I feel so elite. (Too bad it really doesn't have anything to do with intelligence, ha.)
I love having you on Facebook.
Ruthie, you know I live to make you laugh! Yeah, I don't really do the Twitter thang either. My life just isn't THAT interesting, y'know?
I tried your Scramble and embarassed myself with a pathetically low score. I'm not a quick thinker for the most part. It's why I can never come up with a quick comeback whenever I'm insulted. I always think of one hours later! Too late! You don't need a word game to prove that you're elite. I already knew that!
I love being on Facebook with you!
I won't hold it against you. Glad you caved!
Thanks, Cindy! Glad to see you there!
