Netted
A park, a volleyball net, and (in the distance) a hospital complex – all spotted during a post-lunch photography stroll.

Two of these things are not like the others
I’ve been through Sweetwater a few hundred times. I’ve gone downtown maybe five times.
And, one time I actually got out and walked around. That’s when I saw these bars across an opening left over when a business went away.
It was worth the (short) investment of my time.

I miss you like I miss the flowers in bloom
Today’s the last day of my self-assigned lyrics-as-titles experiment. Thanks for your patience!
The way the openings in this old place lined up was what caught my eye. It made me sad, the way the roof’s gone, the weeds are taking over, the plaster’s peeling away: it was a lonely scene.
So, here’s a lonely song.

adds up to a bunch of nothing
There’s a lot going on here, but also not much is happening. It’s my favorite thing to find.
Today’s Bruce Cockburn lyric comes from his song “Someone I Used to Love”.

only seeing where you used to be
I went to this cemetery in the spring, and made a return visit just before Christmas.
The second visit was much sadder, for many reasons – some of which had to do with the snow and those footprints. It was also closing in on the anniversary of my mother’s death, which tinges everything with sadness at the end of December.
So, here’s a sad song, “Closer to the Light,”, for today’s Bruce Cockburn link.
