Changes in Latitude

"Its these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes -- nothing remains quite the same. With all of our running and all of our cunning, if we couldnt laugh we would all go insane" - Jimmy Buffett

At Blackwater Pond, by Mary Oliver

At Blackwater Pond the tossed waters
have settled after a night of rain.
I dip my cupped hands.
I drink a long time.
It tastes like stone, leaves, fire.
It falls cold into my body, waking the bones.
I hear them deep inside me, whispering
oh what is that beautiful thing that just happened?
