Winter is often the time to be still and to reflect on the experiences that bring us to where we are in our lives. We not only look back but we also look to the future, taking steps toward what we want to happen next. Cathy’s poem “FIRST and LAST” speaks to those moments of reflection and the importance of also living in the present.

Dear Jerry,
This post is rather long and you are under no obligation to read the whole thing and look at the pictures taken centuries ago. A birthday greeting has turned into a rambling narrative about four months of each year covering four years – our college years. Reminds me of when Lorelie’s dad would tell navy stories after dinner and after ten minutes or so someone would ask, “What is your point here?” Fred would look a little puzzled and finally say, “My point being . . .” and pause. That’s where I am and maybe you can help me out.

A friend recommended this well known poem from R W Emerson for the NESTER. In a GOOGLE search I found that this poem has been inspiring to many people and is included in many “favorite” quotes and poems by Emerson. This poem is a good companion piece with Cathy Ross’s poem “The Pause” published recently in the NESTER. I encourage you to read the poem and take it to “heart.” Tim
