My great grandfather often told of how when he was a boy, during the hard work of being a waterman, his grandfather would stop and point up to the sky, or the birds, or the sunrise and tell him to look deeply and always remember. spencer is Kanzensakuratonispencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04200564195675794747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1980374748220249244.post-83954544853034907792015-08-21T11:00:53.611-07:002015-08-21T11:00:53.611-07:00A wonderful word-ride, Hank.

I have opened with a quote for years now. It just feels right. I hang out at the ocean often, & you wrote something that smacks of Hemingway (THE OLD MAN & THE SEA), & Steinbeck (THE PEARL); fine job. I love the line /except for clusters of life's sacred witnesses/. I'd like to think that we poets meet that criteria as well.
