She traveled this road as a child
Wideeyed and grinning, she never tired
But now she won’t be coming back with the rest
If these are life’s lessons, she’ll take this test
She needs wide open spaces
Room to make a big mistake
She needs new faces
She knows the highest stakes
I am requesting a photo of the stars at night, they must be amazing away from all the lights of Bright(on).
They cannot scare me with their empty spaces
Between stars – on stars where no human race is.
I have it in me so much nearer home
To scare myself with my own desert places.
-From Robert Frost’s “Desert Places”
Oh, I just love trading all these familiar verses! And, naturally, I made a mistake in my quote.
So good to see that Frost one again…it’s been a long time. Thanks, hi!
Anty, you mean? Big haystack for one human needle …

Mercy. A line from a song comes to mind:
“Give me wide, open spaces….Room to make the big mistakes….”
