Eeeep

Okay, I really did pray too hard, lol. We have not one, but two nasty weather systems heading straight for us and signs point to having another 5-10" dumped all over the 6-8 ish we already had. It may be the better part of valor to head down tomorrow. While that will make Monday and Tuesday suck complete and utter balls due to a compressed amount of cleaning time I will confess to being glad for having an extra day to get all my ducks in order. At least everyone's hexmas presents are purchased and I've ore or less gathered what I need to bring for the week into one spot. That'll help, whenever I decide to go.

Completely unrelated note - I will be so glad come first week of January. I can't wait to get back into going to the gym.

all right. Since I've pretty much decided to stay put, I'm going to say hi and have a good day to morlock and then collapse for a couple of hours.

more e.e. cummings

i am a little church(no great cathedral)
far from the splendor and squalor of hurrying cities
--i do not worry if briefer days grow briefest,
i am not sorry when sun and rain make april

my life is the life of the reaper and the sower;
my prayers are prayers of earth's own clumsily striving
(finding and losing and laughing and crying)children
whose any sadness or joy is my grief or my gladness

around me surges a miracle of unceasing
birth and glory and death and resurrection:
over my sleeping self float flaming symbols
of hope,and i wake to a perfect patience of mountains

i am a little church(far from the frantic
world with its rapture and anguish)at peace with nature
--i do not worry if longer nights grow longest;
i am not sorry when silence becomes singing

winter by spring,i lift my diminutive spire to
merciful Him Whose only now is forever:
standing erect in the deathless truth of His presence
(welcoming humbly His light and proudly His darkness)

Yeah the last poem I posted was by him as well - C mentioned that I'd forgotten to attribute it. I'm really glad I rediscovered him... might need to find some books. Come to think of it, I need to get copies of Shel Silverstein's stuff too. Pretty sure that all the ones in the house except perhaps The Giving Tree and The Missing Piece books all belong to other people.
