Title: Ash and flame
Post by: sdwilsonsct on November 13, 2016, 08:04:11 pm: We're hearing a lot of Leonard Cohen interviews on the radio these days. I paraphrase:

"Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. Don't mistake the ash for the flame".

Is that a field of stubble?

Burning stubble in Saskatchewan. Only some fields get this treatment in the fall, depending on the current and next year's crop. Big fields, often a square mile.

Thanks for the comments, folks.
