The Unsecret Garden
With no secrets to conceal
A garden will reveal
Each facet of its glory
Every color being seen
Among the requisite green
Describes a detail of the story
Having nothing to hide
As her mood coincides
With the rites of the season
Respectful of the way
Her colors fade to gray
Not questioning the reasons
What seems to be conclusions
Is just shedding past illusions
Of scenes she left untold
The palettes of her history
Reflect no shades of mystery
So to not entrench her soul
No decisions must she make
To be real or to be fake
Cannot hide from her true color
While accepting without doubt
The new life that will sprout
The plan of nature's mother
To embrace the coming sequel
Which may or may not equal
The heritage of its past
With faith but not with envy
Her calm awaits the frenzy
When the time is right at last
Giving no excuses
Nor blaming past abuses
When her lushness is no longer
Assuring to return
With new lessons she will learn
To make her message stronger
She paints another chapter
While telling of its rapture
Makes no secret of its glory
This garden tells a story.

Thanks for the driving tips. If I may add something here, hopefully I can explain it correctly. When pulling into a "cut through" in the median, if you are traveling in a southbound direction, pull into the southern-most section of the median. Likewise, if you are traveling northbound, pull into the northern-most section of the median. This way, in a situation where there is another car in the median going the opposite direction, you are able to see the traffic you are pulling into (or crossing), and not blocking each others' vision.

ReplyDeleteI see more confusion on this issue. Maybe that's because at cross overs we do the opposite of how we pass at regular intersections with a turning lane. There we pass driver-to-driver instead of passenger-to-passenger as we should in the cross overs. Dave
ReplyDeleteWhoops, I said it backwards. At intersections with a turning lane we cross passenger to passenger and at cross overs we should pass driver to driver. Dave
