Featured photograph/poems from "Images of the Natural Year":

*WINTER RIBBONS*

This week, three new translations from the
GERMAN:



A Walk

Already my gaze is upon the hill, the sunny one,
at the end of the path which I've only just begun.
So we are grasped, by that which we could not grasp,
at such great distance, so fully manifest—

and it changes us, even when we do not reach it,
into something that, hardly sensing it, we already are;
a sign appears, echoing our own sign . . .
But what we feel is the wind against us.

Rainer Maria Rilke (1924) (tr. Cliff Crego)

Featured Picture Poem:




from FIREWEED POEMS . . .

(1) TWO ROMANCES

Tuning: it
was as if a light

were carried slowly,
in a measured way,
from player to player
to player,

a light passing on from the first,
the original, of all earth-bound fires.

Bright star burning,
not without passion,
not without ash.

*DR. LONNIE THOMPSON & ABRUPT CLIMATE CHANGE AND OUR FUTURE*

This is a talk given by Dr. Lonnie Thompson in December of 2007 at
the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union. Dr. Thompson
is a senior research scientist at the Byrd Polar Center at Ohio State University.

This is an address which deserves serious and sustained attention by all
those passionately concerned about Climate Chaos, and especially those
with an eye to the quickly disappearing alpine ice fields of the Earth.
