“Our dream of safety has to disappear.”
A solitude ten thousand fathoms deep
Sustains the bed on which we lie, my dear:
Although I love you, you will have to leap;
Our dream of safety has to disappear.
— from W. H. Auden’s “Leap Before You Look”

Thank you, veterans.
I am feeling grateful today to all the veterans who served their country at the highest level. Thank you.
The Piker Press publishes my photo of some stragely darkened hills in Woodbridge, Virginia
The Piker Press today featured what might be my favorite photo of mine — a shot of a mid-afternoon Northen Virginia neighborhood that was suddenly and virtually eclipsed by heavy clouds racing over the area.
It was one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen, and I happened to be there at just the right time. You can see the photo right here.
Thanks, as always, to Managing Editor Sand Pilarski for allowing me to be a part of the creative community of The Piker Press!
