even so does inaction sap the vigour of the mind.

My daughter in third year University Lit program won an award this week! I have always loved her closing;

so did the pilgrims pass
from straw to stone, to sombreros
to looms, to agriculture
and here I carry in my breast the scar
of loving and knowing you
And when I close my eyes at night
I hear the threadbare music
of your streets
and I fall asleep as if adrift

Pablo Neruba
