" Our main business
is not to see
what lies dimly
at a distance,
- but to do
what lies
clearly
at hand."

The Carlyle quote--interesting but the immediavy of my city is now but the resolutions so far off there is none any can do but wait for the smelter to do his job and the forge man to start bringing the hammer blows down.
ReplyDeleteI read a report that said Hawaii is the happiest state in America...and they say distance means nothing.
What a lovely post! Here I am, leaving you a gift - a wish - for an amazing day ahead!
ReplyDeleteAhhh..dear Cloudia. You have indeed "Bloomed where you are planted" like an amazing exotic flower. I agree 100% with Carlyle...trying to stay where my feet are and do the work at hand.
