&lt;p&gt;*&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;LIFE - by Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;*&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As late I journeyed o'er the extensive plain&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Where native Otter sports his scanty stream,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Musing in torpid woe a sister's pain, &amp;nbsp;The&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Glorious prospect woke me from the dream.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;`&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At every step it widened to my sight - Wood, &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Meadow, Verdant Hill, and Dreary Steep,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Following in quick succession &amp;nbsp;of delight -&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Till all - at one - did my eyes ravish sweep!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;`&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;May this (I cried) my course through life&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;portray!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;New scenes of wisdom may each days advance!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Till what time Death shall pour the undarkened&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ray,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My eye shall dart thro' infinite expanse, And&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;tho' suspended lie in rapture's blissful &amp;nbsp;trance.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;`&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;`&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;`&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is an apology post . . . &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Maybe I must blame . . .&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Wild `Morel Mushrooms.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;`&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;KYRIE, PATER NOSTER,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;COLLECT, BLESSINGS,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and listen to Pond Peeps.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;`&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;* I meant the three horned-&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;blogger named Joe Banana* &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;`&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I enjoy diverse blogger views.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;`&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;*&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Take no notice of my swarthiness&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;it is the sun that has burned me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My mother's sons turned their&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;anger against me. ~ Wisdom Lit.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;( from The `Song of Solomon )&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;*&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I make many daily mistakes too.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Why did I confuse two bloggers?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Maybe a three-horn head can Be:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ice Cream Cone editor Kerry L.?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;`&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Later&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I hope&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;`&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;it is dying. Death is slowly&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;standing up in its trunk and branches&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;like a camouflaged hunter. In the night&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am wakened by one of its branches&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;crashing down, heavy as a wall, and then&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That is a life I know the country by.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mine is a life I know the country by.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Willing to live and die. we stand here,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;timely and at home, neighborly as two men.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our place is changing in us as we stand,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and we hold by the weight that will bring us down.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In us the land enacts its history.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When &amp;nbsp;we stood it was beneath us, and was&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;the strength by which we held to it&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and stood, the daylight over it&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;a mighty blessing we cannot bear for long.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;*&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This morning I pledged to take a walk. No blogging.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Last night . . . &amp;nbsp;I tossed and turned. Sad Memories.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I browsed @ Salon etc.,. Salon's buttons are broke?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I can't access &amp;nbsp;'letter/comments' to read comments.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Why?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;*&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Breaking -&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;`&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Did I believe I had a clear mind?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It was like water of a river&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;flowing shallow over ice. And now&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;that the rising water has broken&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;the ice, I see that which I thought&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;was the light is part of the dark.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;`&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I read @ blogger Algis Kemezys. The Elephant Tree.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I thought: Great! This can be shared with children.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then, that mysterious ("square") comment button?&lt;/p&gt;
