Sentinel Marked as if you own me I bow before the Bitterroots and just like you my rocky soil, my withered grass lays prey to the empty sky. © Kåre Enga 2007 "Sentinel" Reader's Choice of Poems: "Zmitri" "Glice" "A radiant moon has set" "For Jeanette ... when she grows old" "Willowsong" Reader's Choice of blog entries from my old blog "L'aura del Campo" : "Death of Jeannie New Moon" "Doing and don'ting.

Payed my WDC annual membership. ME... Now... I need to fully use my membership! A promise I haven't kept the last two years. What would help: 1. A new light weight fast computer that has everything except the capacity to cook mac & cheese. 2a. Discipline. LOL. 2b. Internet at home... which isn't going to happen... so, discipline. 3. Read, write and interact more. 4. Put up new works and edit old ones. 5. Rather than use WDC for storage, use it to promote. A weak list of 5 but it's the best I can do today. Hey! I remembered to pay! That's enough for one day. Other snews? Went to the Peace Garden of One Thousand Buddhas yesterday. Joyce wanted to go so I went with her. Very beautiful time of year to travel. Lovely warm pleasant sunny day with wispy clouds. Great pics. Joyce made a ham and provolone sandwich with mustard without checking with me first... She guessed right on all three accounts. We ate on a bench in the sun. That would be my only concern on a hot day. Very little shade. I need shade in the heat. The gardens themselves have some small planted trees around them and the flowers inside are sun-loving. Not completed yet. Have 900 of the 1,000 statues necessary. When they have that they are inviting the Dalai Lama. Quite a Buddhist influence in Western Montana. The actual site is on the "reservation" of the Flathead Nation (Salish-Kootenai). It's in the Jocko Valley. Open flat lands surrounded by short-grass and ponderosa pine clad mountains. Very peaceful. 511.895 |
