In War The Fathers Bury Their Sons.

(Today I was challenged to an imaginary war. I don't like war - imaginary or real).

There's a graveyard in northern France where all the dead boys from D-Day are buried. The white crosses reach from one horizon to the other. I remember looking it over and thinking it was a forest of graves. But the rows were like this, dizzying, diagonal, perfectly straight, so after all it wasn't a forest but an orchard of graves. Nothing to do with nature, unless you count human nature.

Maybe we should visit the grave before starting a war.

At Five, Your Son Is Your Master.

“Your son at five is your master, at ten your slave, at fifteen your double, and after that, your friend or your foe, depending on his bringing up”

And it is all because of you.

He follows - good or bad,
Whether he loves or hates,
He follows - good or bad.

When A Man Begins To Look Like His Father

“By the time a man realizes that maybe his father was right, he usually has a son who thinks he's wrong.”

- Charles Wadsworth


It was his son who taught him that maybe his father was right. It was also his son who taught him to love his father more.

“A man knows he is growing old because he begins to look like his father.”

- Gabriel Garcia Marquez


And begins to think like him. And understands why he goes slow.
