A Few Words On A Wednesday

If you click on the photo, you'll see Roger in the kitchen doing the dishes. I love this perspective, how the eastern sky at sunset fills the rest of the photo, and Roger in the window. The entire sky in every direction was full of deep hued colors that evening. A clear winter sky. The other day a line from a Joni Mitchell song popped into my head. It was, "or me here least of all." So, I googled that and found the song "Refuge of the Road." The particular stanza goes like this:

In a highway service station
Over the month of June
Was a photograph of the earth
Taken coming back from the moon
And you couldn't see a city
On that marbled bowling ball
Or a forest or a highway
Or me here least of all...

Lately I've been looking at pictures of the Milky Way Galaxy and our solar system. I remember that I once read somewhere, long before the internet (can you imagine?) that it would be almost impossible to draw or paint a real perspective of the Milky Way and our little planet Earth, unless the canvas was as big as a football field. I liked that so much. Especially in the context of "me here least of all..."

Roger starts his week off from chemo today. On February 16th he starts the last two weeks. We are counting down the days.
