goin' - doin' - seein'

Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son ?
And where have you been my darling young one ?
I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways...

the San Antonio zoo (uhh, a couple months ago)

Of all the warning sounds that animals make, I think the one that's the least effective on me is a kind of clicking noise.

There are years that ask questions and years that answer.

I have been in Sorrow's kitchen and licked out all the pots. Then I have stood on the peaky mountain wrapped in rainbows, with a harp and a sword in my hands.
- - - Zora Neale Hurston

When you are in doubt, be still, and wait;
when doubt no longer exists for you,
then go forward with courage.
So long as mists envelop you, be still.
Be still until the sunlight pours through
and dispels the mists --
as it surely will.
Then act with courage.
- - - Ponca Chief White Eagle

Depart from evil, and do good. Seek peace, and pursue it.
- - - Psalm 34:14
