Waking by writing, finally

April 21st, 2008,

I apologize to readers for my absence from the blog. A wife ill with a cold and coping with her own deadlines, children requiring attention, work chairing a task force, travel - all these have kept me from writing new posts.

Meanwhile, the world has gone on. Minnesota has moved into spring. Earth Day arrives, and with it much concern about our world.

Thunder claps in the night here, the first thunder since last fall, I believe. The rain is falling hard.

This writing feels like rain watering my life.

Hardened soil loosens, waking dormant seeds.

    Hey, Bill.

    I remember your excellent poem of the mid-’90’s, “Green and Falling.”

    Could you post it on your blog?!!
