In conversation, I prefer Christopher. My mom named me after Christopher Robin, after all. In writing, I use “C L Couch” (or, more simply, “c l couch”) because the form is genderless and also frankly easier to use. I have awful writer’s cramp. I am an educator more or less retired, more or less due to disability. At present, I live in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania (USA). My writing here I mean to be occasional and also devotional. Either or both. The banner and profile photographs are by my friend and peer Debra Danielson. More of Debbie’s work to be enjoyed is at debradanielson.org. Thanks to each of you and both and all for coming to my blog.

I love these descriptions again. The pictures they create are vivid. I like the brevity of this poem and the understanding of human nature. We always hope for abetted tomorrow, often one where things are perfect and are flaws aren’t what they are, where people act how we all would act, perhaps all being morally good and life being that way b/c of it. The Atlantis comparison/description is very apt. It symbolizing or metaphorically being this perfect place, this Eutopia. But in the end, as far as anyone knows, it being mythology like are hope for that perfect world. Not to stop hoping, but to stay grounded in hope & what we expect from life, the hard work and toil it takes to get to these places. Lovely again.
