For often at noon, when returned from the field.

I found it the source of an exquisite pleasure,

pertaining to the Geocaching "Family" and my wishes for it:

He murders some part of the world

Which men miscall their lives

Cannot the kingdom of salvation

Believe those who are seeking

the cache. Doubt those who find it.

If the Journey is the prize,

then arrival is the anti-climax.

Seek not, lest ye find.

What light through yonder meadow breaks?

Tis the cache, and my TBs are gone.

Trouble not the seeker, for his eyes lie afar.

Get me a Shrubbery!

He seeks a sip from the Holy Grayle, and yet he drinks deeply of virtue. (Lance du Lac)

What seek you? Knowledge?

Tell me of your journey.

He sought after treasures,

he found them within himself.

Would you ask a cat to say his name?

Would you listen if he did?

Could you catch him at his game?

A cat's secrets are well hid.

All will come, a part of the game

Each piece a puzzle, and all the same.

Lead me on o'faerie light,

bright yet elusive

you call me, I go.

You can not hide what is found

You can not put the sun in your pocket.

For the secrets kept inside

The box was opened,

Pandora wept.

Through swamp and mud

all day he had struggled

alas! alack!

The cache has been Muggled!!!

Eureka! I have Found it.

OOPs it's a sewer pipe.

Trash-out, EVERYtime

"The explorers of the past were great men and we should honour them. But let us not forget that their spirit lives on. It is still not hard to find a man who will adventure for the sake of a dream or one who will search, for the pleasure of searching, not for what he may find."

September 20, 2003

"For, what with my whole world-wide wandering,

What with my search drawn out through years, my hope

Dwindled into a ghost not fit to cope

With that obstreperous joy success would bring,

I hardly tried now to rebuke the spring

My heart made, finding failure in its scope."

- Robert Browning, Childe Roland To The Dark Tower Came

Going to the Dogs

My granddad viewing earth's worn cogs,

Said things were gong to the dogs;

His granddad in his house of logs,

Said things were going to the dogs;

His granddad in the Flemish bogs,

Said things were going to the dogs;

His granddad in his old skin togs,

Said things were going to the dogs;

There's one thing that I have to state-

The dogs have had a good long wait.
