This third month gusts,
And all seems mad;
Impatient as we are...
Did we forget?
It's always marked
The seal of winter's scar?
I loathe the panting
Trenchant wind;
It ebbs and crests
All night.
We'll greet dear April
Just a random array of thoughts, opinions, and the occasional whimsical (or not quite so whimsical!) rambling...

We'll greet dear April
Sat on my
Neighbor's lawn.
The time was
Half-past noon-day sun
(A good while after dawn).
They scurried up to branches
And danced around with glee,
I swore I spied a secret smile
That swirled about that tree.
One of them alighted
And motioned to the rest,
"Spring's around the corner, boys...
Get going ! Go get dressed ! "
Their cries alerted groundhogs,
And one peered 'neath
My deck...
There was no sign
Of Spring in 'there';
It muttered,
"What
the heck? ! ?"
A grey squirrel
What is humanism?
Humanism is a democratic and ethical life stance, which affirms that human beings have the right and responsibility to give meaning and shape to their own lives.
It stands for the building of a more humane society through an ethic based on human and other natural values in the spirit of reason and free inquiry through human capabilities.
It is not theistic, and it does not accept
supernatural views of reality.
Due to their innately enlightened minds, a true
humanist would never adopt an assault weapon as a national symbol... a pity to
those whose mental stance has never adequately evolved, as they recently
embraced such folly...
