Once I thought I'd never grow
Tall as this fence.
Time dragged heavy and slow.
But April came and August went
Before I knew just what they meant,
And little by little I grew.
And as I grew I came to know
How fast the time could go.
Once I thought I'd never go
Outside this fence.
This space was plenty for me.
But I walked down the road one day,
And just what happened I can't say.
But little by little it came to be
That line between the earth and sky
Came beckoning to me.
Now time has grown so short
The world has grown so wide
Horace Everett
From "The Tender Land"
Welcome to the world I've seen.
All the pictures on the pages linked at the bottom constitute small slices of me.
These pages contain a lot of pictures and may take a while to load.
The world so Wide The world so Small The world so Beautiful The world so Watery
