"I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief."
Wendell Berry

"Whosoever shall smite either a
shepherd's dog, or a house-dog, or a Vohunazga dog, or a trained dog, his soul
when passing to the other world, shall fly howling louder and more sorely
grieved than the sheep does in the lofty forest where the wolf ranges."
Georgian Proverb

Ode to Vitaly
(By Debra O'Brien)
Dearest Vitaly, Oh my goodness, did I not tell you that your dark
mysterious gaze has always moved my soul? Have I not told you that with the
genes of your powerman father and your incandescent mother, your life and your
beauty will be unsurpassed?
Oh my dear Vitaly, I am cut by my own knife for I have failed in words.
And you see, my dear, that if I but think of you, I am taken to older wilder times, where people dressed and walked differently, and identified different enemies, and lived perhaps in a wiser way. You, Vitaly, are to live like the king Simba, surveying all you own, including the beauties assigned to you.
Your affectionate
friend,
Deb O
Vitaly, 'surveying all you own.'
