Poem for Tuesday and Scandinavian Specialties

Without Skill But With Strength 
By Johanna Ekström 
Translated by Carol Berg 

Without skill but with strength 
you lifted me out of my grief— 
Utterly calm 
as one who knew
that to snatch a thing up 
allows little bits 
to drop away

Tuesday was a gorgeous day -- temperature above 50, quite a bit of sun though we also had some drizzle, mergansers as well as geese and both eagles at Idylwood. I did some work and also some skiving to watch the first episode of the second season of The Way Home, which was entertaining though they picked up with a new mystery instead of addressing what happened to Jacob. 

My Voyager group watched "Virtuoso" which I had remembered as being a pretty bad episode about the Doctor, and it was, though last time I thought it was mocking the show's fans and this time I thought it was mocking the show's actors! Later we watched Percy Jackson -- underworld more impressive than Hades -- and the start of the fourth season of White Collar. Scandinavian shopping:
