I have written about Mary Ruefle’s book of essays, Madness, Rack and Honey so many times here that I thought it would be apropos to share one of her poetic ventures as well. I keep my copy of the slight but beguiling A Little White Shadow nearby. It is a visual and poetic pleasure to open it to a random page and see what shows up.

Meanwhile on a more personal note…I am off to Utah for the wedding of my niece, the one and only Trina Ricks, who will wed Quinn Peterson. Back here next week.
Reading material mind-scrambling, as usual…………and then, thought provoking………..as usual! It ALWAYS takes time and effort to get to what I think is the kernel of the message………..as usual.
And, what a handsome couple. The groom resembles a photo of my grandfather in the early 1900s. The beautiful bride. Wow! She has her own beautiful “take” on an already exceptionally handsome family look. Family Resemblance……….inside and out, I am certain. Violet is loving every moment, and most likely wringing her hands in joy! Another great!
