If it had been available, my newest blog would have been "Stark Reality," and the template quote would have been ...

"How can we ever feel the freedom / Or the flame lit by the spark
How can we ever come out even / When reality is stark?

That was a Wonderful Remark / I had my eyes closed in the dark ..."
--Van Morrison, "Wonderful Remark"

I guess I'll have to just settle for having it here on "The Wildwood Light" as a reminder to keep my eyes open ... even in the darkness ...
