Well, it’s kind of Summerish out there, what month is it again? Not sure whether to sweat or shiver or both. Happy Juneteenth, Happy Father’s Day, Happy Bunker Hill Day (really!), and happy day above ground. Not that sadness, anger, and all the other emotions are not worth feeling, they just seem odd to wish up on another: have a Disappointing Christmas! Be very Afraid on President’s Day! Actually, that sounds kind of fun….
That which was Great
to A. and O. Wat
That which was great seemed to be small,
Kingdoms faded like snow-covered brass.
That which struck down, no longer strikes.
Heavenly earths roll on and shine.
On the banks of a river, sprawled in the grass,
Like long long ago, I launch pieces of bark.
–Czesław Miłosz
