In the world to come, those of us who can must do all we can do to protect those who are more vulnerable, who are in danger of having their rights taken away.

It bothers me that, as with Twitter, I can't post a poem over the limit of words in one piece. It's a problem.

(May Swenson, Question, continued)

How will I know
in thicket ahead
is danger or treasure
when Body my good
bright dog is dead

How will it be
to lie in the sky
without roof or door
and wind for an eye

With cloud for shift
how will I hide?

May Swenson

Question

Body my house
my horse my hound
what will I do
when you are fallen

Where will I sleep
How will I ride
What will I hunt

Where can I go
without my mount
all eager and quick

"When I woke up, I found myself thinking of Baku, a Japanese monster with an elephant’s head, a bull’s tail, and the paws of a tiger that fed mostly on human nightmares, and wondered whether it would have liked the taste of mine." --Judith Schalansky

'Charles Taylor argues that “serious philosophy cannot afford to ignore poetic insight,” even though it “will often be incomplete, tentative, and enigmatic.” Indeed, it is exactly because poetic language is incomplete and tentative that it is able to capture truths that simple assertion cannot.'

"Wittgenstein himself was gifted with a fine musical sensibility. In adult life he taught himself to play the clarinet, but his most striking musical talent was the ability to whistle entire scores from memory." --A.C. Grayling
