There will come soft rains

Sara Teasdale
1884 – 1933
(War Time)

There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground,
And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;

And frogs in the pools singing at night,
And wild plum trees in tremulous white,

Robins will wear their feathery fire
Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire;

And not one will know of the war, not one
Will care at last when it is done.

Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree
If mankind perished utterly;

And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn,
Would scarcely know that we were gone.

Instead of other things, I offer one of my favorite poems, now and forever:

In places with good bike infrastructure, cycling is a practical and natural way to get around, not a statement about fitness or the environment.

We’re not closing the street to cars, we’re opening it to people.

It’s not a low traffic neighborhood, it’s a low air-pollution neighborhood.

Hachiya persimmon leaf, glowing reddish-orange while backlit by warm autumn sunlight. Leaf capillaries bright and visible like river systems seen from space.

Ripe orange Havhiya persimmons hang from a green leafy branch, bathed in warm and gentle autumn sunlight.

Summer reaching deep into the warmth of autumn. Hachiyas nearly there - now just a game of chicken with the raccoons and jays.
