from the mailbox.
The hand held back by the elbow,
the word kept…

Excerpted from Prelude book 11

William Wordsworth

The days gone by,
Come back upon me from the dawn almost
Of life; the hiding-places of my power
Seem open, I approach and then they close
I see by glimpses…

Poem of the Week by Louise Gluck

time moves so fast

Labor Day 

It’s a year exactly since my father died.
Last year was hot.
At the funeral, people talked about the weather.
How hot it was…

They say it's gonna rain again

Enjoy!

With great institutions and big 
Success 
I am for 
Those tiny, invisible, molecular 
Moral forces 
That work from individual to individual 
Through the crannies of the world
Like so many rootlets…

Hope to release a new single in about three weeks (26 AUG 22) if all goes as planned.  What could go wrong?

WildGood will be performing at a House on the Water Party today.  Weather is looking good; should be a fun time.

I made a blog post on 15 July 22 in which the last paragraph reads like this: 

"I have three things going on: brand new song in creation with a very traditional, simple acoustic guitar vibe, almost country-ish but also…

The infinite way of doing finite things 
This is the true joy in life, being used for a purpose 
recognized by yourself as a mighty one

on land or sea.  It is something out of his own 
unique potentiality for experience, something 
that never has been and never could have been 
experienced by anyone else
