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.
~President Dwight David Eisenhower
~Charles Baudelaire~

I felt compelled!
This comic illustrates EXACTLY how my 19-y.o. son runs his life...or life runs him...or something.
I marvel at the confusion, changed plans, delays, reschedulings, dissolutions, resolutions, uncertainties, and all out randomness. Brownian movement seems to describe his social life.
Egad!
LOL!! Kathryn, I think that's the way of all teenagers these days who are welded or wedded, I'm not sure which, to their cell phones. I loved your description of it.
