This was inspired by my brother Chris. His recent blog reminded me of it, and I think it speaks volumes about life, and God, and trying to please people all the time. Let's just say I had a rough day. Maybe you'll hear more about it when my brain re-molds it into a piece of humor. Until then...Walt Whitman When I heard the Learn’d Astronomer WHEN I heard the learn’d astronomer; When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me; When I was shown the charts and the diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them; When I, sitting, heard the astronomer, where he lectured with much applause in the lecture-room, How soon, unaccountable, I became tired and sick; Till rising and gliding out, I wander’d off by myself, In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time, Look’d up in perfect silence at the stars.
