Fine observations. Fine writing. I often think how hard it is to "be still and know." How, maybe, those in power don't want that. How voices like yours and Ms. Irene's need to be heard. How technology cannot solve the problems of the heart.
Keep up the writing, the quiet evangelizing of the truth we have forgotten.
Roger, your entry this week is easily one of my favorites since I started reading your work. Ms. Irene is spot on with her comments. It's so easy to get lost in being human, yet we are so insignificant in the universe.
My son laughs at me when I talk to... yes talk to our plants and flowers and the environment around me for that matter. I haven't figured out quite why I do that just yet, but somehow it's important.
And wow, the memories of Pecco's Market, and of Tom himself. Now that my friend, was a humble individual.
WV has a gravity that pulls on you , quiet in its tug, written in the eyes such as McDowell County , as the rivers slowly pass it by -as does most of the world . It’s not my roots. It’s my love . We came together early 1983 as if written in some book “you need each other”. Some can capture that in a photo . It’s the stuff of amazing…as is most of the world…well defined oh yes….
This part made me think of my Dad: "...seeing the world as full of all kinds of things: plants, animals, cloud systems, weather systems, and human beings, gives us proper humility..."
