     Saturday morning, and I’m taking it easy today. Short and sweet it is. I have no thoughts currently running through the subway station of my mind, therefore here is a quick read for you all.
    Have a satisfying Saturday,
Jake.
Less I Am Than They
I see the mountain,
and it humbles me.
*
I respect the ocean,
but I fear the sea.
*
Then I watch the river,
flowing to be free.
*
And I know that they are all,
so much more than me.

Wow ……… what a fresh layout today. Really nice Jack. How was Veterans Day for you? Warmest Regards, Michael.
My veteran’s day was very nice thank you Michael, I am so glad that you liked the “layout” today, because a day is how long it took me to do it. “Old and slow is the way to go.” lol My wish for you is for serenity, if but for only one day. (the day of your choosing) Jake.
Wonderful poem, Jack. I loved the photographs too!
Thanks Denise, you have no idea what it takes for this “techno weinie” to figure out how to get the pics from one place to the other. Then to have to keep moving.. a. the text or.. b. the pictures to get them lined up correctly. After all of that I needed a few beers…But in retrospect, perhaps if I hadn’t had a few beers before I started, then… Ah, who cares, think I’ll have another!! lol
Hey I love it!!! And the photographs were fabulous to go along with the short selection!!! Happy Saturday!
Thanks Beth Ann, seemed like an all day project. I am sure, that I was not meant to be a web-site designer though. ha ha.
In your own way Jack, you are much more than them all.
More specifics please! Which way is that Carl? Will await your response with anticipation.. lol. Thanks though, touched by your sentiment. Jake.
Had another “bonus” saturday at work and your words inspired me tonight….tx Jack
By bonus Saturday, I’m guessing it means a “Barryless” day. lol So happy that you liked it, Mary, see you soon.
