Porches are like giant megaphones around here for some reason, conveying your joy to people who would rather dream on their own, so if you're still up and hanging out after 11 please be respectful and quiet or bring it inside. The Barn is open and receptive to social activity. You might consider wandering up there in the wee hours. We touch shoulders, sometimes, going by. These days you need a map to find your family.
Development is the story of loss.
Someone might die in a taxicab. Someone might find his way home. Things happen in the country that would never happen in the city. Things happen to people I strange places that would not happen to them at home. It isn't true that people who cross the sea change their skies but not their natures.
