Bark to ashes

Fire doesn't end all

This is truth

Black, gray

Feeds the worm

To give to Mother Earth

Ye old mother

To hear her needs

Thou will be blessed

Man, woman and beast

We strain to hear

Awake!

Our bounty is not to spit on

But to reverently hold

In our hands and our heart

For what?

Whew!  It was fun.

Apology

I would like to deem myself unfit for all the whining I've been doing.  I hope to redeem myself today by being grateful.  I'd be remiss not to mention all those in more dire straits than me.  I did miss the hot water at my fingertips but in the scheme of things it was nothing. We have ice and snow and cold temps but there are more that do not have what we do...power, food and shelter.  For those I hope things improve quickly. For those who have endured my computer, water, hot water, ice commiserations, please forgive me.  Thanks for listening.
