A Bursa blade in her hand,
A red scarf around her neck.
You whittle sticks all day
In Filya field.
For you I’m digging under walls,
You’re climbing over them.

Nights by Cyn. Zarco
When I’m without you
I sleep on the couch
or in my bed with books,
pen & paper.
I can’t decide
which I love best–
you lying next to me
like an open book
or an open book
lying next to me.

“No matter how much one may love the world as a whole, one can live fully in it only by living responsibly in some small part of it.”
from Douglas Moore’s Art of Quotation
“No matter how much one may love the world as a whole, one can live fully in it only by living responsibly in some small part of it. Where we live and who we live there with define the terms of our relationship to the world and to humanity. We thus come again to the paradox that one can become whole only by the responsible acceptance of one’s partiality.”
Wendell Berry, writer, quote from “The Art of the Commonplace: The Agrarian Essays of Wendell Berry”, p.118, Counterpoint
“Politics have no relation to morals.”
