My Photo Gallery

I just updated my photo gallery to include a few photos about the painting project we just completed today. Precision Paint & Paper started Monday and finished before noon today. We did the living room, dining room and hallway.

I think they did a great job - great attention to detail, and a wonderful job cleaning up. Connie had a "punch list" which Steve worked through today cheerfully. We also got an estimate to do our bedroom, our bathroom and the foyer coming off the patio into the kitchen (and down the stairs to the basement).

Poem from NCIS: LA 1/13/2010

Quoted "Which I is I?" from:

In a dark time
Theodore Roethke

In a dark time, the eye begins to see,
I meet my shadow in the deepening shade;
I hear my echo in the echoing wood--
A lord of nature weeping to a tree,
I live between the heron and the wren,
Beasts of the hill and serpents of the den.

What's madness but nobility of soul
At odds with circumstance? The day's on fire!
I know the purity of pure despair,
My shadow pinned against a sweating wall,
That place among the rocks--is it a cave,
Or winding path? The edge is what I have.

A steady storm of correspondences!
A night flowing with birds, a ragged moon,
And in broad day the midnight come again!
A man goes far to find out what he is--
Death of the self in a long, tearless night,
All natural shapes blazing unnatural light.

Dark,dark my light, and darker my desire.
My soul, like some heat-maddened summer fly,
Keeps buzzing at the sill. Which I is I?
A fallen man, I climb out of my fear.
The mind enters itself, and God the mind,
And one is One, free in the tearing wind.
