There between the curtains
was the October night,
calm and lovely,
with a star or two
caught in the yellowing trees.

Does he keep it in a jar on his desk? And who did it originally belong to?

I Am the People, the Mob
BY CARL SANDBURG

1 Am the People, the Mob
BY CARL SANDBURG
I am the people- -the mob--the crowd- -the mass.
Do you know that all the great work of the world is done through me?
I am the workingman, the inventor, the maker of the world's food and clothes.
I am the audience that witnesses history. The Napoleons come from me and the Lincolns. They die.
And then I send forth more Napoleons and Lincolns.
I am the seed ground. I am a prairie that will stand for much plowing. 'Terrible storms pass over me. I forget. The best of me is sucked out and wasted. I forget. Everything but Death comes to me
and makes me work and give up what I have. And I forget.
Sometimes I growl, shake myself and spatter a few red drops for history to remember. Then-I
forget. When I, the People, learn to remember, when I, the People, use the lessons of yesterday and no longer forget who robbed me last year, who played me for a fool-then there will be no speaker in all the world say the name: "The People," with any fleck of a sneer in his voice or any far-off
smile of derision.
'The mob--the crowd--the mass- -will arrive then.

“I’m afraid of what happens if I stop feeling too much. I don't want to become someone who moves and breathes like all of this is normal. I am afraid of what that would make me. I am afraid of what that tendency has already made me, in some ways, and what it has made the world.”

"There just isn’t enough time. There’s only what we manage to make of it—what we build, what we protect, what we remember to carry to the car. The gas mask. The snacks. The question we forgot to ask. The name of the person taken." My latest.

I was chatting to a friend tonight about how, as children, we would lie on the grass and look up at the clouds and the sky.

We should do this more.

Reminded me of this poem by Mary Oliver

Leave the leaves where possible. For example, under hedges, bushes, or in flowerbeds. 🍂🌳 There, they protect the soil, retain moisture, and provide shelter for countless small animal species. You can simply scatter them on paths or lawns where they will benefit nature.
