My germinating heart has lain fallow like the buried roots in the bare
fields, awaiting the planetary signals that call forth spring. Insects
buzz the familiar OM of awakening.
A lizard hunt the crickets on the patio while a roadrunner hunts the
lizard. The north facing chimes on the front porch are silent, and the
ones on the patio with the southern exposure begin to tinkle their
Asian moods. Indoors, Charlie's winter coat sheds in seasonal
obedience.
The flowers of spring sometimes bloom just beyond the fitful and
flowery notions of my busy mind. Seasons care not for the
preoccupations of bipeds. But when I drop my wooden mask of joy
or anguish, and turn my gaze from electronic gadgets, beyond the
eaves of the shelters I have created for myself, I find the same
ancient pace and rhythm of the star-based seasons reflected in the
plants and animals that obey the same ancient laws as the waves
pounding the shores.
I can be as noble and free as the hawk when I am not wrist-bound
and hoodwinked by my own devices.

Nice Jim!
I thought this would tickle you, have you seen these funny Amazon reviews before? There are essays, fictional stories, poems and all! A real hoot.
Tuscan Whole Milk, 1 Gallon, 128 fl oz
"Horrible service, I bought my milk and went with the 7-9 day super saver shipping method and it arrived warm and curdled. What the hell?"
"How can anyone make an educated decision to buy Tuscan Whole Milk when it only has 737 reviews?"
"Whilst this may cost more than a piece of pointy charcoal, I think the extra cost is justified."
"I have noticed that what this pen writes in my diary are the exact same thoughts that i have in my mind. Can this pen be reading my thoughts, i mean, is this at all possible?"

I could spend hours reading these!
"This product has NO included manual and NO CUSTOMER SUPPORT! You are on your own. I have used these in the past, so I was able to figure it out, but it took a while. Another caveat: If you lose the cap, there is NO way to attach it to anything because the retainer clip is inexplicably attached to the cap."
"Worked fine with my right hand, but when I came to use my left hand my writing came out looking like the work of a complete imbecile."
"While trying to stick the pen behind my ear at work, I inadvertantly jammed it into my right eye.
It is definatly more painful than most pens, and the ink feels much more corosive."
"This product is not edible.
Do not make the same mistake I did and with the lack of warning labels its easy to do so."
"I was writing my 4000 page memoirs with this pen and was about finished when I realised It had ran out of ink three years earlier. Beware!"

Thanks, Philly. Here it really is spring, balmy in the eighties, with
wildflowers under a blue sky.
