Fast Day 359 May 3 2014 Island Morning
Island Morning
I sit alone in sobriety.
Today fills my coffee cup
to the brim and overflowing;
Leaves on the river
flow like boats to foreign lands,
and cottonwood seeds
fill the window screens,
brighter looms of my youth!
This weblog was started to witness peace in Iraq after a war against which I did not protest sufficiently.
One day per week is a fast day and there will be one poem per week.
If this seems madness, then I am in good company with the rest of you, for we all of us have allowed this to go on too long.
February 20 2009: Well-being as well as Peace. If we can fast one day, and create some small thing once every week, do you doubt we may have peace, concord,and well-being?
