Decaying among the tree roots is my tomorrow. Nutrients are the secret glory of the universe. Or are they?
I don’t know.
What I know is that when you brought the mountain down and broke the earth away and I saw you underneath it all, I understood a little about the value of this lifetime.
And I deserve my chance at happiness.

Happy Housewarming.
I’d love to be brave and move blog house too, but there you are, my courage fails me.
dude…nice new website…did not know where i was for a moment there…smiles….as always your pen is tender, esp in the close…and yes we all deserve our chance i hope you recognize it in her…pretty sure you do though…
That you do indeed, as do we all. Also a great new layout to your hall. Has everything all nice and neat, sure has the other one beat.
I like that chance at happiness. Nice picture as well ~
Your blog design is clean and beautiful ~
Is happiness deserved? I don’t know. I love that you don’t know about the nutrients. How approachable we all are when we admit to the absences. Damn beautiful little poem Shutter Bug!
Congratulations Ed, this is so beautiful. Your blog, your words. I want to say something nice, something significant in my first comment here, and so I am quoting the lines from the master of the wordplay himself, Mr Jason Mraz, to grace your opening night:)
…I am overjoyed and over loved and feeling lucky, Like a little boy who’s hiding under covers, And looking any way to play the part inside his darkened cave, Well the meaning of life, it starts at the nightlight, Close your eyes and hope to see mine…
It is quite funny how this coincides with my wish to take a hiatus from my traditional blogging. Now I want a blog like yours
See ya.
I’m really the first commenter on your new place?!? Added the new address to my Reader.
i had the comment moderation on. drat. sorry to mislead you. thanks for the follow.
Look at that, I followed ya! Gorgeous new layout!!! And a particularly lovely piece. Funny, I am planting trees this weekend on my property…
So you ditched blogger?? So many glitches going on over there that I can’t say I blame you!! lol
Beautifully written poem as usual. Very descriptive. I love how you are able to play words in a way that get’s a giant message across a short entry. Love it!!
P.S. I am trying to figure out how to follow you here, but I’m not being very successful.
I’ll bookmark you until I can figure it out.
Hi Ed, nice post! Heart warming image!
BTW, how can we follow you here? No button or follow widget? Thanks a lot for informing us about your new site! 
God bless..:)
i am going to turn off comment moderation soon as i figure it out:) seriously, tho.
thanks so much. it’s a great site. i’m lucky to have it, that’s for sure. in a way, it’s like switching offices or grocery stores. everything is in a different place.
hi Ed! that’s for sure a wonderful place that compliments the beauty of your poetry and writings
i believe to be happy is why we are all here but i still didn’t figure out why so many of us have to struggle sometimes so hard to be happy … *sigh*
Great new blog and lovely post. Btw is there a way to follow this blog?
Nice new site; and a fine poem. Hopefully there is enough happiness to go around for all! Here’s to joy BEFORE we are underground!
Love the new look, sir.
Your new place is wonderful, Ed–so much visual interest which is inviting! I love this tree image which pairs so well with your image in word. Happiness is our birthright… It is part of us, we just need to tap into it daily.

I different write for you today. Always something a little different on the closet shelf. Looks like you confused a few people in the process.
The new look is awesome. I think we all deserve some happiness. I also think it takes some work on our part as well. Always enjoy your thought provoking posts!
How do we follow new blog? Tried but unsuccessful.
hey…cool new place ed…was confused for a moment until i recognized your voice and felt at home..smiles
when you brought the mountain down and broke the earth away and I saw you underneath it all….loved it..
“I understood a little about the value of this lifetime.” I truly wish more people did. Life is such a very short journey and we all deserve to find our happiness somewhere in there. (Hugs)Indigo
Beautiful new blog Ed! Love what you wrote! A lifetime is so short! Smile, everyday!
nicely penned…and yes, you as much as everyone else deserves a chance at happiness.
The simplicity of this one seems to wrap up so many thoughts and emotions effortlessly. It sounds like a casual thought voiced, then starts to dig its way down and do a deeper job. Great stuff, and an interesting new format over here–very easy on the eyes, which is a huge plus for me.
Yes you do deserve your chance at happiness…great poem! Love the new page…don’t forget about me over there on blogspot
I love your new Blog Ed look awesome and nice!!
yes you do friend. love this and love you.
Love the new look! Really awesome. But not nearly as awesome as your words. Great post.
ed, what a beautiful new home! your poem and image both touched me. especially loved this –
“What I know is that when you brought the mountain down and broke the earth away and I saw you underneath it all,…”
am out on sick leave and hope to be back a writing about it soon
Namaste……….cj
Whew! I finally made it. Very nice place you’ve got here. It suits you well.
Oh man, your new layout looks amazing.
I really need to get around to fixing mine up.
Ur new blog is briliant! I’m wondering how to follow though
so, I have just added ur link to my reading list.
Neat diggs! Also, a touching poem. Great job on it all.
Ed, this fits you perfectly.
You are a storyteller and this is a streamlined vehicle for your tales.
I like it.
This one seems like it could run on jet fuel.
xo
indeed, we each deserve happiness. Beautiful poetry.
As always, you picked a great image to go with the poem…and the poem was quite profound. Looking forward to more…and love the new look.
Our roots are always clawing at us.
Happy new home!
Indeed you do!
You do, we all do. We all need to believe and accept that we deserve it.
