Savor . . .

. . . every hour . . .

On and on flow the hours
Like rolling waves upon the sea
And like so many and so varied flowers
Each one some nectar for the bee

We're keeping tabs and writing numbers
Logging each minute in the book
We have a choice to
Either dread the counting
Or see the forest for the trees

Store the knowledge
Hoard the wisdom
Take the years
And just run like crazy
Party’s only
What you make it
Make it into the
Best you can

There’s no protection from the power
We’re generating everyday
The blazing lights shine
From each lofty tower
Just to illuminate the way

Things that never occur to you
In the spring
Become clearer with each moving
Season passing

All options must be on the table
All points of view be kept in sight
And if you don’t do ev’ry thing you’re able
Make sure you do those which are right

Store the knowledge
Hoard the wisdom
Take the years
And just run like crazy
Party’s only
What you make it
Make it into the
Best you can

The Hours

Words . . .

. . . do, indeed, matter . . .

(from https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/30/politics/donald-trump-pittsburgh-visit-shooting/index.html)

". . . Outside the synagogue and hospital, angry neighbors formed a march near where the President was paying his respects. Several carried signs objecting to Trump's visit, bearing slogans like "Words Matter," "Strength through Unity," "Watch Your Words" and "Hate does not work in our Neighborhoods.". . . It was a sign that Trump's presence in the city was not welcomed by many residents and local officials, who said they asked the White House to delay a visit until after the victims of the attack were buried. . ."

Round . . .

. . . and round it goes . . .

(from Lincoln's Last Trial by Dan Abrams and David Fisher)
". . . Twice Lincoln had gone up against him for election. In 1832, in Lincoln's first attempt to win public office, the good Reverend (Peter) Cartwright had defeated him for a seat in the Illinois state legislature. They met a second time in the congressional election of 1846, an especially nasty campaign. Running as a Whig, Lincoln objected strongly to Cartwright's insistence on bringing his religion into the public square. The Democrat Cartwright responded by tarring Lincoln as "an infidel," a man unfit to represent good Christians. Lincoln had won that election, and neither of the men had seen fit to apologize. . . "

Rising . . .

. . . as it does always, the sun will soon give light
To another temporal life episode
Which I plan to exploit absolutely
