 's unset adieu At last… the lawn is mown… I pick a few fresh berries, open up a Diet Coke and sprawl myself beneath the trees; I knew taut rope swing bid me come to soak up one last ray of sun and wave goodbye to Saturday at my own garden home in quietude beneath a summer sky, grandchildren gone… though they're not bothersome. Ah… chirping birds, a distant bark, a plane that leaves a vapor trail across that glowing orb; they disappear together, rendezvous… What is that sound? Snap Pop… and then again… I sag… then quickly crumple… grass absorbs my fallen body. Hammock bids adieu. MLee Dickens'son 14 May 2006 ·······  ·······Slow down; things will go faster!

The Lord replied, my precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.
