All night the sound had
come back again,
and again falls
this quiet, persistent rain.

What am I to myself
that must be remembered,
insisted upon
so often? Is it

that never the ease,
even the hardness,
of rain falling
will have for me

something other than this,
something not so insistent—
am I to be locked in this
final uneasiness.

Love, if you love me,
lie next to me.
Be for me, like rain,
the getting out

of the tiredness, the fatuousness, the semi-
lust of intentional indifference.
Be wet
with a decent happiness.

We just launched our newest site, Ars Grafik. It’s a marketplace of primarily free web and graphic design elements–all the great things that designers need in their toolbox, like free WordPress themes, PSD brushes, vector images, PSD and AI patterns, fonts, stock photography, textures, and more! We’ll be adding content like crazy now that it’s up.

This has been a continual process of reevaluating our place in the online world, and we’re really excited to get Ars Grafik off the ground. So pass it along to any creative types you know or drop us a good word on your blog. It’s MUCH appreciated!

I haven’t forgotten about posting pics from eastern Washington. More to come soon!
