Rye bread sold by the pound, lathered with cream cheese. One remembers looking at a steep hill in medieval Europe - the crystalline clarity of blues and greens and whites against the relative absence of soldiers - and thinks, how do I remember that? So much is carried in the barrel of the skull, it is no wonder we are imbalanced.
While earlier, walking where the trail becomes icy, I realized I had lost track of the dog while listening to wind, and in that moment slipped and only just righted myself and a moment later the dog raced by breathless. Yet more correspondence in the face of which one is pleasantly troubled. The light fails and we light candles and something somewhere is happy at last.

What difference matters most? For a long time we fussed about the answer until at last - like immigrants facing a harbor - saw there was no time and so got on with it. You are that to me and thus I thank you.
Kindness is not a privilege but the expression of it can be. The brook, unhindered by so much snow and ice, beckons as God the weary traveler, the dogless son.
