"All overgrown by cunning moss,

All interspersed with weed..."

Oh Emily Dickinson, I sure do hope your spirit out there is enjoying today's show - were you the last of your kind? Perhaps you felt that way. I do, sometimes, too.But we are not thylacines, we are not treasures of the swamp. We are people of feeling. Love, hurt, envy, joy. Isn't it all beautiful? And to see every colour, to feel every feeling, pleasant or not, there is a richness and a hesitant enjoyment to relish, in the enjoyment of just being here and feeling and seeing you, and you, and you, all feeling and present and messy and overgrown by cunning moss, we see through the interspersed weeds to the heart of the matter, to the beauty we feel just by feeling. And that, Emily Dickinson, you representative of my radio Listeners and Whosoever May Be Reading This, is what these songs and stories are all about. Thanks for being here, feeling here, and listening.

Let us rest for a minute amongst the weeds, the moss, the grass, and the FEELINGS.
