Little Gerda Goes Forward with Courage and Safety

[Gerda]

Peace
by James Ryan

The peace I seek is like the face of shadow
Among bare sleeping stones;
Like desert sunlight sifted mute and slow
Through bleaching bones.

That's one of the poems, and I think it's a good though sombre one for us LBSers to ponder.

Good to see youse, Job and DnJ. (And I do have a handyman, DnJ, upstate, and he actually says, "youse guys" with no irony, but you have no idea how hard it is to get anyone to come by, even if, in the case of my handyman, they are hoping that you really are single now.)

Will reply more later. But yes, for sure, I save and document everything. You should see my record of visitation! It's like 25 pages plus the first two years of handwritten. My problem is that thus far, no one cares what H says or does. My only hope seems to be pure pragmatism.
