Poems, running, dogs, libraries, cats. Frequent cloud observer.
I don't know what to do with it having been the inauguration today, so I'm just sharing this poem.

If you
stood still and let the pale sunlight descend
around you and said nothing, you’d catch
the echo of human voices, but better not
to hear what was said.

—Philip Levine
“One Brother Said to the Other, ‘Let’s Go into the Fields'” by Philip Levine
Beyond the old barn a small stream ran all those winter days, and beyond the stream almost nothing grew except weeds, poke grass, burdock, scatterings
