I thought y'all might savor this one.
A Meeting in A Part
- Wendell Berry
In a dream I meet
my dead friend. He has,
I know, gone long and far,
and yet he is the same
for the dead are changeless.
They grow no older.
It is I who have changed,
grown strange to what I was.
Yet I, the changed one,
ask: "How you been?"
He grins and looks at me.
"I been eating peaches
off some mighty fine trees."

A lovely poem, and speaking of peaches.... I bought a big bag of Colorado Mountain Lion peaches this week, and *wow* are they delicious! They're about as good as the best Alabama peaches I had when I lived down there, and that's saying a lot....
On the other hand, I haven't been able to get figs up here that taste as good as those in 'Bama. [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/frown.gif[/img]
