That I might step
by Laurie Sheck

Then I came to a peace so random it felt dangerous.
   Rough battlefield, expectancy, most tenuous and fragile contract,
How can I step with threadbare tenderness
   Across the zero hour of each strike and batter?

Why do we live in time? - its edges crumbling, its contours filling with monuments,
   Hard data.  But there is a very plain in things that sometimes comes
Just calmly.  It holds no trade routes, no borders fortressed, guarded.
   That I may briefly touch it.  That I might step into the curious

Despite -

summer dreamin'

I also like hiking if "hiking" is quietly, slowly walking on well-marked paths through woods with only moderate altitude changes.

This Bud's for you, Bob.

unexpected reminders from Ashley Judd

"Over time, I matured into the understanding that good and bad are equally fanciful interpretations. I do not want to give my power, my self-esteem, or my autonomy, to any person, place, or thing outside myself."

All my feminists, raise your femifists.

Who broke my words?

Oh, Mercury, I spoke too soon.
