FROM MORNING DRIVE JOURNAL
SEPTEMBER 23, 2002
We have faint haze. Faint haze is not, I think, faint praise. The sun is a loud cheer in the east - hurrah for morning, hurrah for autumn coming.
No wind in the flag at the cemetery. With my coming retirement, how many times shall I write that sentence in the future? How often shall I find msyelf in the middle of this paragraph? I'm expecting to be some place else - metaphorically-speaking. Where? And what shall I watch for?
On Saturday I saw a group of sandhill cranes over in the sand country - a couple hundred of them staging for a trip south. The year unrolls like a carpet before the queen. The sky turns blue, it always turns blue eventually.
