The Adventures of LitBoy: Bill Brent's Blog

Not quite blogging about the weather.

Checkout time is, um, yesterday.

No golf today, either.

So far we've been spared; generally, the winds blow away from here. Likewise, this area is rated as the highest risk zone on the island for lava flow, but the lava ain't flowing this way, either.

Wishing you a beautiful [koff, koff] day,

HAWAIIAN SKY IN FOUR MOVEMENTS

ABOVE AND BELOW: Sunday, February 18, 2007, late afternoon.
Ocean View Estates, Hawaii Island. Elevation 3,600 feet.

Lani (Hawaiian): sky; heaven; spiritual; noble.

We zoom across the desert, the ocean, and the sky. We think we know something. We barely have a clue. We cannot see how dark this Dark Age really is, so dark is it here that we can barely see each other.

—me

And when I see you
constantly changing
Never the same as, never remaining
I cannot fix you in a position
Where I would lose you out of my vision
For you are movement
And that is nothing

—Stuart Moxham, "Constantly Changing,"
from the Young Marble Giants album, Colossal Youth (1979, Rough Trade)
