Here is a haiku of mine that I dedicate to the memory of Richard Brautigan, who was born on this day in 1935 in Tacoma, Washington.
JANUARY 30
Eating dinner this
evening I realize nights
are getting shorter.

Creation's Dawn
The following is a quotation from Dewitt Jones:
I used to envy the father of our race, dwelling as he did in contact with the new-made fields and plants of Eden; but I do so no more, because I have discovered that I also live in "creation's dawn." The morning stars still sing together, and the world, not yet half made, becomes more beautiful every day.
