Valley Truth


dark clouds precede the thunder

thunder precedes the storm and

the storm precedes the rain...  it

is the routine of the valley to bear

this out...  and to all those working

outside they know this for true...

but recently weather patterns have

fluctuated and what we thought

we knew for true turned out to be

not that true at all...  continuity

and consistency has been lost on

this last generation who reads not

the sky or the environment but

instead relies on charts and maps

and forecasters to navigate their

daily routines....  as if they have 

someone else to blame for their

inherent shortcomings...  we know

these truths and we know them

well as we have lived with them 

for several decades...  but the truth 

no longer dwells in this valley and 

I am sure it dwells not elsewhere.
