December's End. Forecast for Snow.
"Some people love waking to the sight of new snow. Fallen snow is fine, but I like the sight of it falling, fine as dust or so fat you can hear it land against the kitchen window. I like the tunnel of dry snow you drive through at night, the headlights blanking out a few yards ahead, and the feeling that you're driving into some abysmal vacuum. I like the ground-blizzards and the snow that slithers down the road ahead of you. What I like is the visual impairment snow brings with it, the way it obscures some things and defines others, like the wind." - ---Verlyn Klinkenborg from The Rural Life
You tell it like it is sister :-)!
ReplyDeleteExactly, pray tell, what is wrong with a community organizer? Barack's experience as such occurred when he was 23 and prior to law school. It's not exactly something to be ashamed of. I'm off to go find myself an Obama/Biden lawn sign....
ReplyDeleteThanks for checking in...Only time will tell, they say they will know if they got all the cancer in two weeks...XOXO
ReplyDeletePleeaase don't go get all political on us. The contention it would bring would be disasterous.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog and check in regularly for a moment of peace and realization that the outside world is beautiful still. (I too often work in a neroramville).
I LOVED this post. Rather than contentious, it was as forthright a piece as I've seen this political season. With pictures of the Great Ones you reminded us that the peace keepers are blessed and have been blessings to humanity.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed a weekend break from blogging and I wish your week will be a marvelous unplugged adventure. I absolutely understand what you mean about your old life. Finding a balance is a real concern.
I came to this post a week late but would like to thank you for it.
ReplyDeleteJust seeing the faces of these community organizers restored my faith in the concept of a collective historical memory.
Have a nice break.
