What We Need Is Here “The Wild Geese” Horseback on Sunday morning, harvest over, we taste persimmon and wild grape, sharp sweet of summer's end. In time's maze over fall fields, we name names that went west from here, names that rest on graves. We open a persimmon seed to find the tree that stands in promise, pale, in the seed's marrow. Geese appear high over us, pass, and the sky closes. Abandon, as in love or sleep, holds them to their way, clear in the ancient faith: what we need is here. And we pray, not for new earth or heaven, but to be quiet in heart, and in eye, clear. What we need is here. —Wendell Berry

United Writers December 12, 2016 @ 2:29 pmI write a blog that mostly focuses on my journey into some nasty brain diagnoses. And to think, it’s my very favorite organ! Here’s a recent one, but feel free to read all of ’em at fay’soflife.blogspot.blog.

I hope you have since overcome your diagnosis. I love the line “All that remains, all that matters, is love and knowledge.” I can relate.

Hmmm…sorry, Chad, that is a bug. I assume you saw “Charles Beebe of Midland, Michigan” when you clicked “See Local” in the Social feed, right? I think some of the older posts on here (when I was building the site) had an error that caused it to repeat whatever city YOU put in, showing it for other people’s locations. So unfortunately, it’s not a…[Read more]

Ocean Patrol May 18, 2016 @ 2:50 pmTesting if this assigns my name link to perspectives. Two post updates (by Poffo and Perry) are still pointing to /community/members/foo. Why?

Commenting seems to work fine from within the Group pages, but not from the tagged group pages (the “collection of groups” pages)

OK, even weirder. The above comment was made on the Dog Lover Group page. Then I came back to the Environmentalism page and tried to reply to the comment. Clicking ‘Reply’ refreshed the screen, but did NOT open a comment box. However, clicking on ‘Comment’ (from the original entry, above this grey box) DID open a ‘Reply’ box. It refreshed the…[Read more]

Reply to SF ‘test’ from Single Group (‘Environmental Action’) page. Note that this correctly indents the reply, threading it to the proper comment.

Charles Beebe replied
Note the above reply did NOT properly indent; it should be indented in response to ‘test’ comment. This reply will also not indent, so it will be interpreted as a reply (comment) to the Original Post. Also, these replies cannot be deleted after posting. This needs to be fixed.
