So long, farewell....

This will be my last post for a month or so. I'll be leaving tomorrow morning at 4 am to go to Virginia. I'll be there for a while before moving on to Montana and Idaho for short visits, then I'll be coming home. I'll be home again around the second week-end in August.

I'll be sure to keep some paper handy, so I can write up some posts about my trip when I get back. I leave you now with one of my favourite poems:

Resolution

Love, You have struck me straight, my Lord!
Past innocence, past guilt,
I carry in my soul the sword
You buried to the hilt.

And though to eyes in terrible pain
Heaven and earth may reel,
For fear You may not strike again
I will not draw the steel.

:Charles L. O'Donnell (1884-1934)
