"The Maldive Shark," by Herman Melville
As the Indian Ocean has been in the news, with the Malaysian Airline plane missing, I thought of Melville's poem, the Maldives being situated in the Indian Ocean.

CIA Spies on U.S. Congress
I'm not sure why people are so upset about the CIA's allegedly spying on Congressional staffers. Citizens in general get spied on all the time, sans warrants. And the fact that the concentration camp at Guantanamo is still open is incalculably more egregious.
Besides, at least the CIA is spying on the enemy: Congress.

"Lucid Mansion"
Grace creates a spaciousness,
a spacious nest like a meadow
between cedar groves, or a placid
piazza—a place, that is,
for consciousness to consider
its conscious nest,
its fortunate fest of being. In
the howling storm of time,
grace manages to accrue
some space, in dark
vacuity manages to
maintain a lucid mansion.
