About Me
- puddle
- Water gathering most days I wait through blue and sun till dusk or even later and the rose has faded to lavender, to gray some days, the sleet has started and the leaves underfoot are slick with ice somehow I'm never sorry and never learn one night I waited till the stars were out dropped the bucket into sound, only felt the weight of it filling and the night full of stars and the river full of stars and the bucket full of stars come morning, the coffee is also full of stars

The lovers, the dreamers, and me.

Shifting gears: I used to think civil unions were soficient. But, now I have come to the conclusion that *all* couples have the right to have a legally recognized marriage. That doesn't cramp any religion's style; they don't *have* to marry anyone. It seems to me that the Catholic Church used to refuse to marry a couple if the woman was disabled, because this would in all likelihood interfere with her childbearing. And, after all, we all know the *only* reason for marriage is childbearing. Some churches, like the United Church of Christ and some Quaker meetings would continue welcoming and performing samesex marriages, others would not be obliged to do so. But, *all* couples would have the chance and the right to enter into civil, state-recognized marriage. That just only seems right and fair.
a very 60ish philosophy...so failed...
