Effortlessness is the end of effort
On a sea smooth as glass the sail is filled
Wing-weary eagles glide that climbed above
Foot-sore dancers laugh at gravity
The gift of grace unearned descends on thee
When thy work exhausted cannot harvest
Thy unknowing comes only in knowing
This is the end of thee, Thou awaits
Perhaps it may turn out a sang,
Perhaps turn out a sermon.

And now for something completely different.
Though most who stop by here will have already seen it, I heartily recommend reading the American Thinker article "Sedition is Constitutional".
It's new(s) to me - thanks, Mushroom!
I laughed at gravity once. SOB laughed right back and said "I'll show you!"
wv: clike - the sound of my ego smacking the ground
The current administration is, yes, a bunch of antisedites.
Not taking gravity seriously is one reason my face looks the way it does.
The other reason is DNA ... and a misunderstanding in Oklahoma.
Good stuff here, as ever!
