  • The Road to 65, Miles 326-7: Sanctity

    October 19-20, 2015, Chino Valley

    Some thoughts on a couple of rainy days:

    Awakening under stars,

    glorying in a shower.

    Glancing at the news,

    whilst thinking of my brood.

    The clouds ride north with me,

    and plot their mid-day reverie.

    Some are stranded behind sand-bagged washes,

    Most, though, tough out the day,

    with galoshes,

    and a will that overcomes the driving rain.

    For, learning soothes, and ignorance

    breeds pain.

    Knowledge has sanctity.

    Its lack, breeds angst,

    you see.

  • Breaking the cycle of ignorance.. of course I was always taught that there is no shame in ignorance as it can be corrected, stupidity on the other hand has no cure...

  • True, enough- "Ya can't fix stupid".
