Between the Waters
In the End, Another Beginning
Posted by: EarlB, 12:13 PM GMT on May 21, 2012 +0

Soon enough, it'll be "dust to dust"
For us all,
It'll be
Back to our starlight beginnings,
Ash by ash,
Atom by atom.

We were born along with the universe
In that Big Bang,
But we'll return to the stars
In the Big Whisper
As body slowly twines with earth,
The loving earth.

In my garden I've cradled the "dust":
I've held my future in my hands,
And I've smelled my ancestry there:
Plant and animal both.
It's never too early to be ready
To go home.

Planting Time
Posted by: EarlB, 12:58 AM GMT on May 06, 2012 +0
The farm field was planted this week, after ominous talk ofnot enough rain for planting. Farmers had to make a decision as to whether to plant this year or not. The decision was made after a wet end to April, a boost to confidence in a business in which "confidence" is a joke. In less than a day, 28 acres of corn were planted (an easyday for a farmer, I'm sure there was another small acreagefarm on the schedule as well). The farmer is a "no till"farmer: there is no...

My dear Zoe, It is a perfect day to write letters: it is raining. That isn't a bad thing,it has been a dry April to this point, I was beginning to doubt if we would have any May flowers without the April showers! And , to be sure, I do enjoy writing to you, rain or sun! Have you ever noticed how questions that you may have only thought ofget answered? Only yesterday, I was wondering about the fox populationon the farm, how I hadn't seen any foxes since last year. Th...

April snows are driftingOn the ground under the tree.Apple blossoms, pink, white.Spice-perfumed snow fallsOn my head, shoulders. Softly;Apple petal storm.Bee in a blizzard,Collects nectar through the gale,Snow Apple sweetness.Apple blossoms float,The earth rises to meet them:Lovers' first embrace.

My dearest Zoe,Are you getting excited? It wasn't a very windy March, it came in and went out like a lamb, but that's okay, March is past, I just hope that this Friday is breezy. It's time for this year's Good Friday kite flying, and I hope that you have your kite ready! Mine is ready, but the big excitement for me this year willbe in helping some children build their first kites (I'llbe helping their parents build kites, too!). That will bea lot of fun, as much fu...
