Feet On The Path

The Agony in the Garden c.1799-1800 William Blake 1757-1827 Presented by the executors of W. Graham Robertson through the Art Fund 1949 http://www.tate.org.uk/art/work/N05894

 

Through the door, I watched our little female possum, Noelle, as she ate her supper tonight. Her pouch hung quite low, touching the tips of the wet grass. I remarked on this and my wife said with large eyes, “We can’t have a bunch of baby possums running around here!”

And I responded, “Well, why not?”

Tomorrow I am leaving to go on a holy pilgrimage, one that I have been contemplating for quite some time. I haven’t decided yet, but I may write about it when I return.

The night is heavy now, and so are my eyes, and so is my heart.

And the darkness always passes…

      William, I didn’t realize that Taiwan had no possums. The authorities would likely frown on me shipping you some as a gift….

      I was in Taiwan in 1983. Loved it…I have happy memories of exploring the region.
