"Diamonds and rubies that do not feel are beautiful for ever, but women and flowers fulfil their task of propogation and wither in a day. It is sadder than death." J. M Synge (When the Moon has Set)

Sheila Steele: who stood strong for the truth of alternative viewpoints, brave in the face of controversy and is greatly missed since her passing on Remembrance Day 2006.
Pat Wilton: who only succumbed to death by Ovarian Cancer on the 7th anniversary of her first diagnosis...who fought the battle with dignity, and care that others including the genetic ones, who might face the same fate. Top fundraiser for Ovarian Cancer in Canada two years in a row. Will be greatly missed, but never forgotten.

""After 5, that ephemeral splendor disappeared along with my shorn locks, I turned ugly as a frog, much uglier than now. So nobody wanted to take my picture anymore." Sartre"

thanks for your thoughts on the photographs... I appreciate your insight! Those were the best ones from today and I like the statue ones a lot. Yes, I think the statue one feels sad too.
I took a long walk today in the university part of town, went to the library and got two books: The Road by C. McCarthy and Another Country by James Baldwin. At home later I raked leaves for me and a neighbor. Autumn is ending here.
Just wanted to say thanks for being a real friend of mine on Myspace. If you have any poetry or know a really great poet that you like - let me know - i'm always looking for new poetry & poets to feature on 10K Poets.
YES, respectful. More on that later. I have a dam that will break in my heart of a neighborhood sycamore that was unnecessarily cut down completely. AWFUL.
