Days End by David Morton

Days End
by David Morton

Is there no different way the light may learn
To leave these hills at every evening’s close
Save turning as a lovely ghost would turn
To leave a house and hearthstone that she knows
In such a wise that these same stars appear
One after one, to gaze across the dark
On rooms abandoned to the windy year
That keep no single sweet familiar mark?

I have seen all too much of lonely things,
Of lovely slow departures in this wise,
And the long, listening stillness that it brings
Where lonely hills are left to lonely skies,
And stars incredulous that stare and stare
Into the empty hush that gathers there.


I found this poem hand written in an old dtexbook my father owned when he was attending
UCLA around 1928. It was a business textbook! The poem must have meant something to him
for hum to take the trouble to write it out at the front of his book. It is a sad wistful expression of loneliness. The lonely college student.

Adventures of Mr. Finity

Mr. Finity is feeling bad, as usual, even as MR. INFINITY tries to cheer him up by offering him a
beautiful ball.

Meet Mr. Finity

Mr. Finity is very finicky

Unlike his neighbor Mr. Infinity who is very tolerant.

Malice

There is no malice
In the cosmos

There is only Love
And Joy and Play

They look out
From behind
Every mask

Smaller Government Is Good For Business

The dreaded sequester is here and the market reacted this morning by setting a new record high in the DOW 30.
Business knows that government spending is a drag on the economy. Government is an obstacle that must be overcome in order to produce.
Business knows that we are better off with less government.

The miracle of the marketplace unleashed will raise everyone up. Just keep cutting government.

God

 The pain of this all goes so very deep.
 It is beyond the beyond. 
 All I can do is trust God.  If God is for us, then we have nothing to fear.  If God is against us, then there is no hope.  We cannot stand against God.  We must believe that God is good.  We must say, "My trust is in God."
