A Thought for Today
Moonlight can never be too praised, it flatters everybody.

The regular daily Flight Plan will be
suspended for a few weeks while I'm away helping Webmaster Ken Blackie work out the design
and content of our upcoming STANYAN HOUSE web site. I hope you'll continue landing here
ever day though because Jay Hagan and Melinda Smith have chosen two poems from a different
one of my books for every day that I'm gone.
So, something new will be here every morning. The Thought for Today and the Notable
Birthdays will continue. See you soon.
Love, Rod

Two poems from
"Caught in the Quiet," by Rod McKuen
four
Out of the sad mistaken belief
that as a man I must behave
as all men do.
I've turned my back
a time too often.
God,
help me keep
a resolution that I make today:
not to walk head high
even one more time
past someone I can help.
