While there is still time: The Sound of a Train
http://whilethereisstilltime.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-sound-of-train.html
While there is still time. We should be careful of each other, we should be kind, while there is still time." Philip Larkin. Saturday, August 8, 2015. The Sound of a Train. Even now, I hear one and I long to leave. Without a suitcase or a plan; I want to step. Onto the platform and reach for. The porter’s hand and buy a ticket. To some other life; I want to sit. In the big seats and watch fields. Turn into rivers or cities. I want to eat. Cake on the dining car’s. Unsteady tablecloths, to sleep.

While there is still time. We should be careful of each other, we should be kind, while there is still time." Philip Larkin. Sunday, August 23, 2015. A relationship is a physiologic process. Dozens of studies demonstrate that solitary people have a vastly increased rate of premature death from all causes - they are three to five times likelier to die early than people with ties to a caring spouse, family, or community.

While there is still time: If you have ever gone to the woods with me
http://whilethereisstilltime.blogspot.com/2015/07/if-you-have-ever-gone-to-woods-with-me.html
While there is still time. We should be careful of each other, we should be kind, while there is still time." Philip Larkin. Friday, July 24, 2015. If you have ever gone to the woods with me. How I Go Into the Woods. Ordinarily I go to the woods alone,. With not a single friend,. For they are all smilers and talkers. I don’t really want to be witnessed talking to the catbirds. Or hugging the old black oak tree. I have my ways of praying,. As you no doubt have yours. Besides, when I am alone. Simple templ...

While there is still time: Evolution is not an upward staircase. And why we write/read poetry
http://whilethereisstilltime.blogspot.com/2015/08/evolution-is-not-upward-staircase-and.html
While there is still time. We should be careful of each other, we should be kind, while there is still time." Philip Larkin. Thursday, August 13, 2015. Evolution is not an upward staircase. And why we write/read poetry. Evolution is not an upward staircase. We are free to label ourselves the end product of evolution not because it is so, but because we exist now. Expunge this temperocentrist bias, and the neocortical brain is not the most advanced of the three [the reptilian brain, the limbic brain, ...

While there is still time: Transformation
http://whilethereisstilltime.blogspot.com/2015/08/transformation.html
While there is still time. We should be careful of each other, we should be kind, while there is still time." Philip Larkin. Saturday, August 8, 2015. I haven’t written a single poem. I’ve lived humbly, reading the paper,. Pondering the riddle of power. And the reasons for obedience. I’ve watched sunsets. Crimson, anxious),. I’ve heard the birds grow quiet. And night’s muteness. I’ve seen sunflowers dangling. Their heads at dusk, as if a careless hangman. Had gone strolling through the gardens.

While there is still time. We should be careful of each other, we should be kind, while there is still time." Philip Larkin. Monday, June 22, 2015. When One Has Lived a Long Time Alone. When one has lived a long time alone,. One refrains from swatting the fly. And lets him go, and one hesitates to strike. The mosquito, though more than willing to slap. The flesh under her, and one lifts the toad. From the pit too deep to hop out of. And carries him to the grass, without minding. Links to this post. Abund...

While there is still time: Each day
http://whilethereisstilltime.blogspot.com/2015/08/each-day.html
While there is still time. We should be careful of each other, we should be kind, while there is still time." Philip Larkin. Saturday, August 8, 2015. Of a life that's as complicated as everyone else's,. Struggling for balance, juggling time. The mantle clock that was my grandfather's. Has stopped at 9:20; we haven't had time. To get it repaired. The brass pendulum is still,. The chimes don't ring. One day I look out the window,. Green summer, the next, the leaves have already fallen,. That's how the lig...

While there is still time. We should be careful of each other, we should be kind, while there is still time." Philip Larkin. Friday, July 24, 2015. Tell me your story. One Sunday morning in 1971, Lewis was summoned to a terrifying scene. A man was holding a loaded gun on his family, threatening to kill them and himself and anyone else who got in the way. Lewis walked right into the man's house, sat down beside him, and said quietly: "Tell me your story.". Ten hours later, the man gave him his gun. Abunda...
