Moving Onward
Will it ever end? Of course. But this slow procession across town, consisting of many, many trips back and forth, feel endless at times. Note to self: think twice before ever moving somewhere *upstairs* again.
Today will be more little trips for the small stuff and then some friends are coming to help move the furniture tonight. If all goes according to plan, we should be sleeping there tonight and building shelves tomorrow. Yiddish Proverb: When we plan, God laughs. So we’ll see ‘eh?
That means that the computer gets unplugged today and because of the jack location in the house and the fact that I haven’t gotten around to arranging for hook up yet, there may not be another blog for several days. Until then, here is a poem by E. E Cummings that I stole off my friend Sarah’s blog. Perfect for our current weather:
#20
the wind has blown the rain away and blown
the sky away and all the leaves away,
and the trees stand. I think I too have known
autumn too long.
(and what have you to say,
wind, wind, wind—did you love somebody
and have you the petal of somewhere in your heart
pinched from dumb summer?
O crazy daddy of death dance cruelly for us and start
the last leaf whirling in the final brain
of air (!) Let us as we have seen see
doom’s integration…..a wind has blown the rain
away and the leaves and the sky and the
trees stand. The trees,
suddenly wait against the moon’s face.
