All language is metaphor . . .

In Freya's day's mailbox this rainy morning, reminders that today is the birth date of several seeker/creatives:

Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Edward Arlington Robinson was born in 1869 Head Tide, Maine.

The poet and translator Kenneth Rexroth, was born in 1905 South Bend, Indiana.

The composer Giacomo Puccini was born in 1858 Lucca, Tuscany.

Ralph Fiennes is 60 years old today. The British actor was born in 1961 Ipswich, England.

And the painter Jean-Michel Basquiat was born in 1960, Brooklyn, New York .

Just what the Truth is cannot be spoken. . .

as a Christmas hymn (snow/satin) try Nights in White Satin ….

Rediscovery

These will

never happen again:

Small Chinese porcelain butterflies

and boxes in stores.

Wintertime puppies and couples.

The warm

after the cold;

pretty faces,

busy places,

moody skies and silk blouses.

These

keep happening.
