Fire, Ice, Beauty and Vice


















A Korean flower, a mountain range by Las Cruses. A interesting Sunday. I bought a camera and perhaps it is just as well that the pictures today were such that I was unable to post them. Just still trying to master the way to hook up to the camera. The day started with a trip to pick up cars left at the warehouse. Unloaded furniture last night for Mike's new apartment. Then we went downtown and walked across the bridge to Juarez. It was a short visit, at probably the worst part of the town, even though the entire place has a lot of challenges. I was embarrassed to be in a place like that on Sunday. The stay was short. I missed attending church today and again wished that I had been there. This was one of the few times missed but the more important fact was that it was necessary to help Mike.
Robert Frost poem first presented in 1964 at the time was considered something special. Desire and hate both seem so destructive. Speaking of contrasts
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
