A Thought for Today
One sure test of freedom is how much
command you have over your own life.
TO BEGIN WITH
As America starts its long birthday weekend all of us connected with The
Flight Plan, A Safe Place to Land and Stanyan House wish all of you who
make our flights of fancy possible; peace, good fortune and good health
whether this is a summer or winter day for you. Up over, down under or
out yonder, wherever you are we’re with you.
HAPPY
BIRTHDAY
AMERICA!

The
hand has no firmer grip than what it gives to handshakes.
These days only truth is revolutionary.
Since when has conscience been unpatriotic?

AMERICAN STRAND
-for Chuck Ashman |
|
A wondrous thing
it is to have
a country you can love,
a field to lie with,
hill to hike,
a patch of woods so honorable
it stands as its own creed.
Cities too within the land
that belch and puff and bubble up
mixing native / foreign colors
of its people,
each contributing.
It is a healthy wondrous thing
to have a country you can love.
He who loves his country first has
time for children and for walking,
talking in his sleep, rolling down a hill,
and finding one who supersedes all
other loves.
Time will take the patriot on an endless
journey and it will seem like overnight.
His list of pursuits can challenge
The new math and still his mind will stay
uncluttered.
If you would put yourself, your house
in order, try thinking of your country
first, and you will learn that order is
the secret of selectivity.
Believe it. Try it, anyway.
It is a wondrous thing to have
a country you can love.
-from Rusting in the Rain, 2003 |
