Got up on a cool morning.
Leaned out a window.
No cloud, no wind.
Air that flowers held for awhile.


Some dove somewhere.
Been on probation most of my life.
And the rest of my life been condemned.
So these moments count for a lot of peace, you know.
Let the bucket of memory down into the well, bring it up.
Cool, cool minutes.
No one stirring, no plans.
Just being there.
This is what the whole thing is about. ~ Just Thinking – William Stafford

Thank you, Sir, may I take the liberty here to write some words from James Madison please ” The Essence of Government is power, and power, lodged as it must be in human hands, will always be liable to abuse.” ( thought for Ace Daily News ) 😔
