This is a weekly update from Australia, written by a person who has a tendency to ramble (one of the main features of bloggers, maybe?). Inspired by the one and only Alistair Cooke, recently departed in April 2004, age 95.

Melancholic heart
Flailing arms grasp at air
Despairing lips tremble
Desperate eyes sorrow
Meeting is Nature's blessing
Parting is Nature's curse
Heaven brings together
And tears asunder
Celestial might
Mere mortals cannot fight
Genius is but Fate's fool
E'en Solomon is God's carving tool
