The Poet and the Murderer

"For most of his life Lombardo had felt like an outsider. As a young man he used to say to his friends that all he really wanted to do was have time to read and hike. He wasn't completely serious. There were plenty of other things he liked doing, but there was some truth in his claim. Books were his passports to the world, a place where his imagination could roam free. Hiking was his way of staying connected to the earth. Walking along a back-country path, surrounded by trees, and water, and light, and animals, he felt both humbled and enlarged. Humbled, because in comparison with the vastness of the universe he felt like the tiniest atom. Enlarged, because he knew he was part of the great continuum of life" (Simon Worrall).

Good Morning Thursday. Good Morning December 2nd! Good Morning a day off from work (sort of)! Good Morning Weekend (you're so close I can almost feel the sleep deprivation dissolving).
