Un-housebroken
Elders have become un-housebroken.

Elders are here to evoke perception alternative to middling society—an alternative not of degree but of quality.

Footprints in the Windsm # 1738–Poetry of a cloudy day
Footprints in the Windsm # 1738
What is the poetry of a cloudy day?
What lives in clouds
Flies in them
With them
With blue above and green below?
Do clouds encourage us to look
To the holy in each other
In the mud and the weeds
For what is possible
Just here, just now?
Birds still fly
Squirrels still get into mischief
Water still runs downhill
Into still pools
And we still have work to do
Love to make
Friends to meet
Love to make
Please pass it on.

Could be different
It could be different. This the elder knows. And the difference is not ordinary nor reasonable.
