The Thing with Wings . . .


Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all.
partial poem by Emily Dickinson

Let's soar!

    Dear Stiff:

    I remember when you took the picture of the eagle in Alaska. Odd, that it was there, all things considered. The eagle never flies... But soars. And when it is at rest, it is thinking about soaring. Kind of like you, though the symbol here is intended to be far greater.

    I'm having a rum and coke in the next room... If you drop by, bring some ice... Please?
