It lifted off from a chair-back,
Beating a smooth course for the right window
And clearing the sill of the world.

Scenes from a green Fourth of July
One of the day's highlights was walking by the lake in Central Park and through the Ramble, which is my favorite part of the park.
Will you ever bring a better gift for the world
than the breathing respect that you carry
wherever you go right now?
- from "You Reading This, Be Ready" by William Stafford
