Virginia Shore/ Back Bay, originally uploaded by Davidlind.
Here’s a photo from last summer down near Virginia Beach. This is the protected area so there are not a lot of people around and no buildings. It’s a very peaceful place.

Play Hummingbird
(I realize there aren’t any hummingbirds in this wonderful work of art but it really doesn’t matter, does it?)
New Poem Needs Readers
I have been rewriting my new poem Learning How To Kiss online since yesterday. And I think it is better than it was yesterday. But I don’t know how anyone feel about it except Time Thief who very kindly said some things about it.
So I would appreciate it if you the reader would send it to SU StumbleUpon or your favorite outlet for this sort of thing so it will receive some exposure.
I added Seal’s Kiss from A Rose to it and think it goes well with it. In fact, Seal, if you would like to find a song to go along with your great hit here are some words!!
We can all dream.
Mid-Week Ruminations/ Grandchildren Photos/ Sharing Power
I went down to the river today to take some photos. It was very cold. There was ice forming on the rocks and things. So I didn’t stay very long and didn’t take very many pictures. Then I found a nice, warm spot in front of the computer and downloaded some pics from Christmas that were overlooked during the winter illness phase.
Here is a photo of my granddaughter Kate. She is a lovely child with wide eyes and a beautiful mouth. But where did she get those ears? She is a very intelligent child and I love her very much. Maybe the ears are there just to make us laugh. Maybe she will make people laugh her whole life through with her delightful and clever personality.
And her ears are just a harbinger of all the wonderful things yet to come.
And here are Jillian and Lindsay. They met for the first time this Christmas as they are from different sides of the family and from different parts of the country. And they had a wonderful time twirling in a computer chair.
I realized today that I am almost ten years older than our new president. It’s the first time I have been older than a president. And I started thinking about how important it is for the younger generation to feel “their guy” is in charge.
They will be running things some day. These children will be voting and making their views known. I think that this is one of the things that is great about our system. We integrate our young people into the process at an early age.
We allow them to feel it is their country and they must work for it and make wise decisions to keep it going. They must put their “best foot forward” and not throw bombs from outside the perimeter as often happens in other places throughout the world where power is not so easily shared.
These are our children.
We hold our heads high. We let them take the wheel. Here’s another photo I took this past month of my younger son. He’s taking some very good political science courses at VCU.
His ears don’t stick out as much but I’m not sure about the beard. Does it matter?
Not very much.
