Each of us standing 

Each of us standing at a particular
Spot we favor — our own location
Along the mortal shore.

Scanning the horizon.
     There it is!
We watch the boat of the Book
Float by.
     All our beloveds on board.
Waving from the deck,
Calling out our name.
Some of them singing.
     Some just
Gazing at us with that look we loved.
— GREGORY ORR, the author of the forthcoming “River Inside the River,” which includes this poem

Beautiful sunny day here, if a little warm (40F) so the lovely snow we got yesterday will probably all be gone by tomorrow. Off soon to an Alexander lesson & then laundry & stitching (I generally take Thursdays off from practicing - shh - don't tell anyone).

    So I could monitor if/when BA went to their all-aisle-access in business class (they did), I signed up with this luxury travel blog. Here...
