Thursday October 27
Today-Tomorrow our university Trustee’s quarterly meeting, we’ll be slamming tasks and talks and visiting.
So here, a day early, is a short poem I love to pieces and occasionally post. Back Monday on regular schedule. Have a blest weekend.

Today’s Post: The Manoeuvre
I saw the two starlings
coming in toward the wires
But at the last,
just before alighting, they
turned in the air together
and landed backwards!
that’s what got me —
to face into the wind’s teeth.
William Carlos Williams
(September 17, 1883 – March 4, 1963)
