Census Update!

In this day & age of technology & email, I miss the days when A Letter Came in the Mail. I wonder back in the days of horse & buggy, if people overseas waited for weeks in anticipation for the Santa Ana to deliver everything across the oceans, and sorted to the horse & buggies across the lands. I’d think it would seem like forever, especially from a lover…

Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night – Dylan Thomas

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rage at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Keep creating your art, whatever it is will live past the rage, dying light, & beyond. Whether you’re making money or doing it leisurely, it’s worth your time, since some things can be heirlooms. Keep up your blog, crochet, art, poetry, music, metal, etc. they’re all part of the greater culture that keep humanity going into the future. Don’t forget –
