"...painting words..." 8/20/24 "A giant tree stump of a man emerged." 8/2/24  IT'S HER I USED TO KNOW From the shadows I watch As she turns the corner, Another drink of scotch, Cross the street to warn her, Alone she should not walk, I offer company If it’s only to talk, That’s all it has to be. ~ A breeze rustles her hair, Brown with a copper glow, Upon her face I stare, Her eyes on me bestow A feeling I’ve not felt, Since very long ago. My heart begins to melt, It’s her – I used to know. by Monty  QUOTE OF THE DAY: “In three words, I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life. It goes on." ~Robert Frost He was speaking to journalist Ray Josephs In 1954 on his 80th birthday. Frost's words in context: "In all the confusions of today, with all our troubles . . . with politicians and people slinging the word fear around, all of us become discouraged . . . tempted to say this is the end, the finish. But life — it goes on. It always has. It always will. Don’t forget that.”  Caption: "Frost, who once wrote, ‘I never heard of a house that throve . . . where the chimney started above the stove,’ examined the stove of his old kitchen at Little Iddens, Gloucestershire."
