Changes (lessons from a field edge)

Send us Fan Mail Join us tonight on a hot sticky night of lingering light and stubborn twilight. With the summer’s tilt shifting wider and deeper changes are felt. "Life is a motion. Life is growth. It is never static," says the corner of a field. Journal entry: 4th July, Tuesday "Goldfinch carnival Among the teasel heads And early sun. Dark clouds to the west Bringing rain. Spindrift of fine drizzle Freewheels on the breeze. The cows are in no hurry Neither am I."
