Daughter
Need everything,
set up your house behind no balustrades
and always play the organ overloudly.
Look in mirrors, you really are
quite different with the sun beneath your
brows.
Make use of night and struggle not to
share it badly.
Shout at us if we should hurt you,
bring us grasses smelling of your hands and
make us singing.
Plant your soul out in the open, blown
and buried it will free itself.
Forgive, and still again forgive,
and even if the only voices, never heard by
those who need them, have seceded,
Yet once more forgive.
Deep Thought: People think it would be fun to be a bird because you could fly. But they forget the negative side, which is the preening.
Today I am grateful for: Yin and Yang

I’m not sure if I’d want to be a bird. They have problems of their own as well. Just out of curiousity, what part of Oregon are you from? I’m from Lapine myself (30 miles south of Bend).
That’s lovely.
