vanguard journalism


Something has been on my mind
for the past couple of months



our dear friend's
Laura Ling & Euna Lee
have been detained in
North Korea since march,
and they face trial
June 4

as you may know,
we have no diplomatic
relations with N. Korea

it seems like yesterday
we're all having dinner in nyc,
sharing adventures...
celebrating.

gosh we miss
them terribly and
we already feel a
great void in
journalism


tonight
and every night
until they are free,
light a candle with us
or in private


San Francisco Vigil
steps of city hall
wed. June 3

west with the night


I have learned that if you must leave
a place that you have lived in and loved
and where all your yesterdays
are buried deep...



leave it any way except a slow way
leave it the fastest way you can

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3159/2649639275_6a43378520.jpg

never turn back.
and never believe that an hour
you remember is a better hour
because its dead.



http://uniondocs.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/manhatta01.jpg

passed years seem safe ones, vanquished ones,
while the future lives in a cloud,
formidable from a distance.



the clouds clear as you enter it


excerpt by

beryl markham
"west with the night"


if only i could be so brave.
but I can't leave new york just yet.


good bye to all that
