In Response to Walden


Wisdom need not be calm and even, static.

Human beings, having suffered deeply,

because of themselves and others,

In their very desperation may be acute

to the deeper meaning of things.

3/3/60, by JEC Thomsen

Sunday, December 16, 2012

A sense of profound innocence floats among the opaque images of young and old,
who no longer make foot prints.
Yet, we can feel the lasting impressions of their virtues and qualities.
Let these be reminders of the eternal blessing we are all entitled to when we enter this world.
Oh, cherished life! May what gave their lives purpose, live on,
In things we can touch and feel, for that is our priviledge, as humans beings.

--In rememberance of those who died on Friday, December 14, 2012 in Connecticut and in support of those who grieve.
