Thank you Gordon.  These are sparking times for poetry to slip in and
connect us with our deeper selves and eternity.
"Deuced hard" as my great grandmother Glidden would exclaim, "Well said".
 May see you in San Antonio

> Unbidden sweep of gratitude,
> That takes its way through bone and brain
> And makes it so confounded hard
> To see life left as any less?
