Faith, Folklore, and Friends

  Love your neighbor as yourself; but don't take down the fence. ~Carl Sandburg Fear is the highest fence. ~Dudley Nichols   It doesn't matter which side of the fence you get off on sometimes. What matters most is getting off. You cannot make progress without making decisions. ~Jim Rohn   Don't ever take a fence down until you know why it was put up. ~Robert Frost   Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope. ~Maya Angelou

    Standing at the top of Baker Bluff early Saturday morning, it looked like we were peering down at water instead of a foggy valley.   As we continued north, we had no choice but to drive right into the fog, just like jet planes have to go through clouds. That was what it was like for just a few minutes, like being alone in the middle of a cloud, hiding, nothing else in the world.  Then, the poplar trees, bright yellow as sunshine, came into view again.   The fog comes on little cat feet. It sits looking over harbor and city on silent haunches and then moves on.   ~Carl Sandburg:   Chicago Poems, 'Fog'.
