"The spirit of the year, like bacchant crowned, With lighted torch goes careless on his way; And soon bursts into flame the maple's spray, And vines are running fire along the ground."

-- Edith M. Thomas

“The Way It Is Thereâ€™s a thread you follow. It goes among things that change. But it doesnâ€™t change. People wonder about what you are pursuing. You have to explain about the thread. But it is hard for others to see. While you hold it you canâ€™t get lost. Tragedies happen; people get hurt or die; and you suffer and get old. Nothing you do can stop timeâ€™s unfolding. You donâ€™t ever let go of the thread. ~ William Stafford ~”
