poem of the one world
- Mary OliverThis morning
the beautiful white heron
was floating along above the waterand then into the sky of this
the one world
we all belong towhere everything
sooner or later
is part of everything elsewhich thought made me feel
for a little while
quite beautiful myself.Posted: 2025 Feb 21; h/t Mary Gibson

Laurna – Sorry to be obscure! I’ve never known anyone who takes 666 seriously as the Number of the Beast, but I did once have it as my security-card number. I thought that was hysterical (I mean, would you give the Devil a security pass?), but the issuer had no idea what I was talking about.
All that’s missing is for the first-baseman to be named “Abel.”
