Another Blink of Siva’s Eye
Another blink of Siva’s eye, another,As a friend has been saying, trip
Around the sun. Decades from now,
A parent walking in the woods with a child,
Or one lover to another, or a forest guide
Might point out the signs from the
Big hurricane of 2012. I expect 2013 will
Be momentous and full of joy, ephemeral,
Another trip around the sun.

On the column that supports this bas-relief and a larger than life standing portrait of Daniel Webster, is engraved: “liberty and union now and forever one and inseparable.” Kind of sounds like a description of the absolute consciousness, the one self, though that was probably, mostly not the intent.
Murtis Around Town (and Dana and Seva)
This evening I went for the first time into the Anderson House of the Society for the Cincinnati. I was attending an event for supporters of Casey Trees, one of my favorite local charities, which is devoted to protecting and expanding DC’s tree canopy.
I give because I believe it is an important part of a living practice (dana–charitable giving is a companion to seva–volunteer service). Getting to discover this garden was an unexpected delight, but not the goal.
