Seeking.........................

The fingers turn the pages.
The pages unfold as a scroll.
There was a time there was no America.
Then came on the scroll an early
     America, a land of beginnings,
     an American being born.
Then came a later America, seeker
     and finder, yet ever more seeker
     than finder, ever seeking its way
     amid storm and dream.

-Carl Sandburg,  Ever A Seeker
