beautiful morning on the mountainside.One of the worst things to being
a hermit is that there is no one real listener close by to hear your
gratitude. I always, however and especially on Sunday morning. like to
recall, what optimistically passes for poetry. The year's at the
spring. . the snails on the thorn and the birds on the wing. The morn
is at seven, God's in his heaven. The hillside is all dew pearled and
alls right with the world . I have no idea who wrote that or how
correctly I remember it , but it was probably some old Kat fan after
they won a close one. Jack P.
