Thanks, Lynne. I wrote about twenty of these last summer, trying to concentrate on “the moment” while offering a glimpse, perhaps, at something larger. Some were more successful than others, but it was a good exercise. 🙂
I like to present myself with little exercises or challenges several times a year. Keeps the brain going. Being prolific is mostly a matter of ignoring all other responsibilities. Ha!
Great work on this, Robert. I very much enjoy the understated simplicity of the piece, both in the apparent subject and the length of the writing, contrasted with the immensity that it actually represents. Beautiful.
