The Broken Ground [Wendell Berry ]
The opening out and out;
body yielding body:
the breaking
through which the new
comes, perching
above its shadow
on the piling up
darkened broken old
husks of itself:
and opening to flower
opening to fruit opening
to the sweet marrow
of the seed -
taken
from what was, from
what could have been.
What is left
is what is.

I worked under Larry in the Warren County Communications center - he gave me the opportunity to work in the center as a summer job - I loved the job and ended up turning the summer job into a career in dispatch with the Colonie Police Department. I will always be grateful that Larry took the chance on a untrained 20 year old. He was a great supervisor and just a nice guy.

I only met Larry twice, but I really admired him for his textbooks. Its difficult to put yourself out there like that.
