This is the personal blog of Ian Ker, who was Councillor for the South Ward of the Town of Vincent from 1995 to 2009. I have been a resident of this area since 1985. This blog was originally conceived as a way of letting residents of Vincent know what I have been doing and sharing thoughts on important issues. I can now use it to sound off about things that concern me.

If you want to contact me, my e-mail is still ian_ker@hotmail.com or post a comment on this blog.

Raindrops Keep Falling On My Web

http://www.redbubble.com/people/ttrian/works/10749114-raindrops-keep-falling-on-my-web-1
Warmest August on record and wettest for more than a decade. It's too easy to argue about what is responsible for the changing climate or to bemoan its manifestation in wet weather. Just occasionally we should do as William Henry Davies suggested when he wrote:
What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.
No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.
No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.
No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.
No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.
A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
And if we dare put our heads outside the back door on a rainy day, we might find unexpected beauty in small things.
