on the move
motion
We long to move,
we shun to stay,
we yearn to talk,
we won’t be still,
we welcome coming,
the going is okay.

they go it alone…
Movie review:
Thelma and Louise
Louise (Susan Sarandon) and Thelma (Geena Davis) can’t escape from almost every conceivable way of living on the edge. They keep ending up in situations they have never in their lives imagined. They keep grabbing for the ring.
Ultimately, Thelma and Louise (1991, rated R, 130 minutes) is about lonely ladies who want some kind of zest in their lives, and find it on their road to glory.
You keep rooting for Thelma and Louise because so many strange people do them wrong, and a man they trust isn’t much help, and another man who wants to help can’t make it happen.
You come to understand that Thelma and Louise only have each other to root for, and they end up going it alone in the only high style they can think of.

a cascade…
a time
another time to think of you,
another time,
the cascade of short moments
and smiles as you smiled,
the funny flow of your quick laugh,
the sun of your beaming,
the quiet love of your assent
to dance with me
in our silence,
the hugging
that made long moments ours,
all those times…

good and bad, a great story
Book review:
Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
by Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894)
Scottish novelist
141 pages
Originally published in 1886 as Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, this iconic novella was an immediate hit and sold 250,000 copies in the United States.
(Later publishers added “The” and punctuation to the title in a gratuitous fit of grammatical purity).
It’s a masterly drama and a quaint exploration of the Manichean theme of good and evil in man. In my most recent re-reading, Jekyll seems to be a much less respectable character than in my previous experience with this classic: he is weak, licentious and mostly unrepentant.
His alter ego, Hyde, is still a bad boy.
The narrator’s reflections on human nature are thoughtful and instructive.

The Book of Days
The dawn’s early light can be pleasure enough for the whole day.
There are words enough to tell the story of “the temptation of day to come.”
It is my delight to write some of them for your delectation.
cloud talk
I guess that clouds may skirr,
they are so far away,
they do stir
and frolic in the sky,
they may whir,
who hears the sound of clouds?
betimes they clap!
withal, they may purr…
