“A thing of beauty is a joy forever,”
wrote John Keats in his 1818 poem 'Endymion'.
Its words still hold true, always will.
Many years ago,
while passing through a rural pastoral town,
I noticed a wooden wagon wheel,
under a large oak tree.
Nearby, there was a bright patch
of yellow daffodils.
As I glimpsed the scene, I felt delighted.
Many years have passed since then,
yet I still remember that beautiful spectacle.
Today, I wanted to give a tribute
to that quiet moment of joy
that grew from such a simple sight.
I painted in watercolor,
re-lived the happiness yet again.

Tree Stump
sad stump of a tree once a carrotwood stood there I still remember. I go neighborhood walk daily and greet the trees. I feel sad if any of them fell down or was chopped down. I think, as they give us air, shade and a lot of other necessities, we need to honor them.

A System That Isn’t Working Challenge Winners
Systems promise order. They organize behavior, distribute opportunity, and suggest that if everyone follows the rules, things will work. The entries in A System That Isn’t Working look closely at what happens when that promise begins to slip.
