Gravity just makes you stronger.
I told her that being a single mom reminded me of steel-toed boots. In my mind it made perfect sense, in that funny speed of thought way, connecting events mercurially. In college I worked for my Dad out at the Air Force Base; All the summer help were made to wear steel-toed boots. At first they were ridiculously heavy, just walking was a chore. That first night home I sat down and marveled at how much misery they had added to my work day. The summer work days were lost in my memory, trains full of coal, replacing railroad ties. Shoveling dirt. I was fast forwarded to the end of the summer,…

The More Loving One W.H. Auden
Looking up at the stars, I know quite wellThat, for all they care, I can go to hell, But on earth indifference is the leastWe have to dread from man or beast.How should we like it were stars to burnWith a passion for us we could not return? If equal affection cannot be, Let the more loving one be me. Admirer as I think I amOf stars that do not give a damn,I cannot, now I see them, sayI missed one terribly all day. Were all stars to disappear or die, I should learn to look at an empty skyAnd feel its total darkness sublime, Though this might take me…

I installed the app and sure enough, saw my iPhone data visualization, with the timeline running as a sort of slideshow. I saw that it referenced my car trip to NC to my…

A Day at the Beach
by Peter Schmitt If he had been paying more attentionto whatever my mother was sayingfrom under her hat beneath the umbrella, or watching more closely over my brother,off playing somewhere with his shovel and pail,or me, idly tracing my name in the sand, if he hadn’t had that faraway look,gazing out to where the freighters crawled alongthe horizon – so that when he suddenly pushed up and off, sand in his wake, visortaking wing behind him, you could believe,as he churned toward the glassy water, that it had just come to him to chuck it all,this whole idea of family, and makefor those southbound freighters and the islands – then…

Ode: Intimations of Immortality
Thanks to the human heart by which we live, Thanks to its tenderness, its joys, and fears, To me the meanest flower that blows can give thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears. -William Wordsworth – Posted from my iPhone
