So small and fair;
A sun-dyed dew-drop born with wings.
'Neath Cuphea's coral cup it swings,
And to the winded flower clings
As if grown there.
~ Ira Billman
Some things are good in this world - like capturing a picture of this most ephemeral of birds. I was most pleased :)
Some things are evil in this world - the words of Major General Smedley Butler ring as true today as they did in 1935 when his famous speech was first published. It begins:
WAR is a racket. It always has been.
It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives.
As George Carlin said:
'I like it when a flower or a little tuft of grass grows through a crack in the concrete. It's so fuckin' heroic.'
Be well. Keep smiling
