As it seems you are quite a photographer I must admit the pic is something I found on the net, nothing of mine. I am so bad with a camera, if I go someplace I just buy some post cards. If I remember there was not enough info to credit. All drawings, writing on blog are original, however. Welcome.
I taught history high school Miami Dade 1972-2006. We are from Staten Island New York. Have been in Miami since I was 5. This is a fun blog. Hope to see you again soon.
A first visit rich reward. How many different selves linked with others your postings and poems show. I’ll call again. Did we ever meet ? I am thinking of a long-ago Agostino met at a teachers’ conference in Minneapoils about 1995?
My goodness, what a wonderful surprise, Carl! 😀 I love this poem and the convoluted thought process. This is really great and you have expressed it so well. It is true that we are marked by our actions as they rebound back onto us.
Absolutely beautiful. It’s ever-refreshing to read a poem so full of meaning and insight this morning, Carl. I really needed to see this after my day yesterday. xo
Carl, you just made smile my friend,
A) because this is a beautiful post all around
B) I just read you’ve decided to branch out the blog per a comment, yay, U!
As you know, we grow when we stretch ourselves ( pun intended); keep on~

A beautiful, profound blog that I happened across this morning at Carl’s place, “i know i made you smile . . .”
Delighted you found some meaning here. 2012 will reveal there is much more than cartoons stored away in the cedar chest. Appreciate your repost and honored to be associated with your blog in some way.
