Dragonflies and Kingfishers: Go West

Thursday, October 21, 2010

Beautiful fall afternoon back in ye olde stomping grounds with my sister Vicki and her horses. 10/16/10

Comfy saddle I used. I sold mine a few months ago.

My mom's White's Boots (boot company my grandpa used to president, and where Mom and her brothers used to worked).

So, I read this post, and your post on linoleum last night, and I had some big long complicated dream about going to your house. It was awesome, but I have no idea what actually happened while I was there!
The linoleum post was awesome, by the way.

Haha. :) You should come visit sometime. It's not as far from Moscow as your hometown. :)
And thanks.

As Kingfishers Catch Fire

by Gerard Manley Hopkins

As kingfishers catch fire, dragonflies draw flame;

As tumbled over rim in roundy wells

Stones ring; like each tucked string tells, each hung bell's

Bow swung finds tongue to fling out broad its name;

Each mortal thing does one thing and the same:

Deals out that being indoors each one dwells;

Selves - goes itself; myself it speaks and spells,

Crying What I do is me: for that I came.

I say more: the just man justices;

Keeps grace: that keeps all his goings graces;

Acts in God's eye what in God's eye he is -

Christ - for Christ plays in ten thousand places,

Lovely in limbs, and lovely in eyes not his

To the father through the features of men's faces.
