Daily Note
Every day, a photograph, a poem. I’ve been writing poetry from photos of our trip to Dayton, Wa. This is the courthouse for Columbia County in Dayton. It’s a beautiful grand building– in silhoutte here of a sparkling blue sky. That evening, the pine tries on the left filled with crows, a noisy bunch gathering for the night, I suppose. Huge black birds, settling in branch by branch. I could not get a good picture.
As I look at this picture, of this grand building for that stands for the Rule of Law. But today, the former president and his party flaunt the rule of law in frivolous legal manipulations both in his obstruction trial and across the states in elections offices. It’s disgusting.
Will our grand commitment to each other — to abide by a rule of law– in order to form a more perfect union that works to achieve the dream of liberty and justice for all– will that grand ideal stand?
