Broken Wings

Sunflowers by CP

I have recovered from a second flu in one month. This one was quite dreadful. Now that I am less feverish and cranky, I can keep still long enough to finish hubcap sunflowers...or finish reading the last 100 pages of the Hamiltons and the Trasks in Steinbeck's East of Eden I wish will never end because I will miss them like old good friends.

I remember Lee, the Trask's colorful and full of wisdom Chinese housekeeper, saying before he leaves Adam and the motherless twins-Caleb & Aron to move to San Francisco, "They say a clean cut heals soonest. There's nothing sadder to me than associations held together by nothing but the glue of postage stamps. If you can't see or hear or touch a man, it's best to let him go."

Broken wings...

"Take these broken wings
And learn to fly again
And learn to live so free..." Mr. Mister
