Street Art
Yesterday in the North Park area of San Diego, I came across this bit of Street Art. I just love it when you day is brightened by an unexpected thing.
We were reading Blake in a college class the year some friends of mine ran an imaginary candidate for Student Senate. My on-campus job was typesetting for the daily newspaper. So I ran bits of the very poem in your picture as anonymous classified ads whenever there was space: "See Eternity in a grain of sand! Vote Joe Fabeetz!" Thanks for taking me back to that era of my life -- as you can tell by the reference to the ancient art of typesetting, it was rather a long time ago.

It was a pleasure Rebecca.
Isn't life grand, to have a Blake piece inspire us, in such a random way.
