Meanwhile Black Butte 

Sting–All These Years 
“Set Them Free”

meanwhile Black Butte stands like the testimony
to the sacred space of this cosmos, this creation
and I kneel in the stubble praying the blessings of 
the Beatitudes like they are roads of mercy out here:
cold, cloud brushed sky, and the bones of earth

Curio : A new type of content. It's not "news" and it's not "commentary," it may not even be about Minot. But whatever it is, Minot may need it or you may enjoy it!
