The Silken Tent

She is as in a field of silken tent
At midday when the sunny summer breeze
Has dried the dew and all its ropes relent,
So that in guys it gently sways at ease,
And its supporting central cedar pole,
That is its pinnacle to heavenward
And signifies the sureness of the soul,
Seems to owe naught to any single cord,
But strictly held by none, is loosely bound
By countless silken ties of love and thought
To every thing on earth the compass round,
And only by one’s going slightly taut
In the capriciousness of summer air
Is of the slightlest bondage made aware.

Apparently this past Saturday - 7/7/007 - was the biggest day for weddings in recent memory.

I liked Casino Royal as much as the next guy - that first stunt sequence with the Parcours was unbelievable - but I had no idea Mr. Bond had that much pull.

Here’s a pic of an engagement ring by way of congrats to all those happy couples that tied the knot.

I was watching a National Geographic special about “Speed Week” on the Bonneville Salt Flats. Right before a driver was killed in a tragic roll over, he wrote to his wife saying, ” LIfe isn’t measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the number of times your breath is taken away.”

I don’t know if I’m sold on this idea, but I know I could use a bit of this attitude right about now.

Is it that Simple?

I’m sure it is. I just can’t seem to fiigure out how to get from here to there. Maybe I should just hop on a bike and try riding away from my current spot.

Sometimes there is nothing more fun in life than getting a Venus Fly Trap for your birthday.

I don’t really know where this is going… or even where I would like it to go. However, I’m sure that images will be central to any theme that develops.

Here is a shot of the Eiffel tower I took on a walk through Paris a few years back. Its been the source of many happy reflections since and its as good a place to start as any.

Stay tuned!
