... In the fields and in the forests,

another summer has passed before us,
and not one man has,
not one woman has revealed
the secrets of this world.

Tue, 26 Jul 2011 18:52:48 -0800

Over a deep black part of the stream, not far from the church, was formerly thrown a wooden bridge; the road that led to it, and the bridge itself, were thickly shaded by overhanging trees, which cast a gloom about it, even in the daytime; but occasioned a fearful darkness at night. This was one of the favorite haunts of the headless horseman; and the place where he was most frequently encountered. from: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving

Where the Antelope Roam

Mon, 11 Oct 2010 20:55:38 -0800

The antelope are strange people ... they are beautiful to look at, and yet they are tricky. We do not trust them. They appear and disappear; they are like shadows on the plains. Because of their great beauty, young men sometimes follow the antelope and are lost forever. Even if those foolish ones find themselves and return, they are never again right in their heads. —Pretty Shield, Medicine Woman of the Crows
