But a few hours of mingling with the mob + listening to conversations which if not repelling, are uninteresting, makes me think I have not heard the wind in the tree-tops for months.
Today the sun seemed to roll along the top of a snow bank.
Coming home from an evening of listening to empty frivolity I found on the wall a drawing of two fish signed “Daniels” It was as if he were behind me and said “Never mind, Burch, we understand.”
