Late Fragment by Raymond Carver


LATE FRAGMENT
By Raymond Carver

And did you get what
you wanted from this life, even so?
I did.
And what did you want?
To call myself beloved, to feel myself
beloved on the earth.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~


Those are two of my kitties, Catfish and Little Debbie, asleep like yin and yang.

Blessings, Love & Peace,

    I love the poem. I think this is what we all want from life. Even so?

    Have a blessed weekend, Marion.

    Marion, now you know I don't kow poetry, but this is one I know and have always loved. Isn't it beautiful.

    I am laughing my head off at Ignatius starting up the political party of homosexual men. He is so funny, that I seriously read a line and am smirking from ear to ear. What wit.

    Love Renee xoxo

    I like this poem and I love the pic of your kitties! Aren't sleeping pets sweet!?

    Did the storms last night come as far down as you?

    Hi Marion~ I wonder if that's what made Carver's life run all right--he had self love. It's such a wonderful gift to be able to say that. xxox

    Marion, isn't it a strange thing that we are born to this earth and yet we all have this universal desire? We are born a fiddlehead, waiting for that other perfect fit. Your cats have certainly found theirs.
    much love

One may have a blazing hearth in one's soul and yet no one ever come to sit by it. Passers-by see only a wisp of smoke from the chimney and continue on the way. ~Vincent Van Gogh~ Pull up a chair...
