The Dark:
The killings at Virginia Tech have spawned new controversy regarding gun control. I don't think it's about gun control. I think this kind of thing is the result of not one simple thing like who can buy a gun but of many threads that have become woven into the fabric of our society. I have no answers. I do have a question. Why, when there are many ways to solve any problem, do people choose to kill a ever greater number of people in an effort to solve their particular ill? Do members of our society feel so powerless, so overlooked, so insignificant that they can only see this one way to make their point? In most cases to write their epitaph?

The Light:
This morning I awoke early with a severe gas attack. I felt as though I had swallowed the Goodyear Blimp and needed to burp it out all at once. Not a pretty picture. But later I got this pretty picture out my dining room window. The deer are browsing our flowering quince and in one of our flower beds. The green behind them is a field of wheat.
