there is a quote i kept from a Flannery O'Connor book that was rather dark.....and i think of it often.."no one was looking up".

The book's name is "Wiseblood".......and it is dark...because the main character never quite gets anywhere....although he seems to be on a journey of some kind. Even writing this, feels daunting. There was this one moment......when love was there..waiting under a tree........

I always felt that if he had actually answered love ... there under that tree......the whole ending would have been so different.......

Now we walk about....with cell phones...looking at statistics there.....data.... and miss the sky......and miss the face that is waiting under the tree.....and miss each other..........
