HFL (Home Free Library) Jericho, VT

 

The HOME FREE LIBRARY of Jericho, Vermont is a trial project to inspire interest in nature - by loaning our books to local community members.

I will always believe caring plus sharing equals community. 

The following books can be loaned from Bernie and Maeve by local residents upon email request and subsequent book pickup. Send an email to Bernie, listing the book title, and the date you wish to pick it up. 

I will then leave the book on our woodshed at the end of our driveway for you to pick up.

Free the music
imprisoned for a duration too long
whose dynamics require your interpretation
no less articulation of speech
the notes are all bunched up in a closeted case
won't you free them before they lose their beat?

We need not be stuck in isolation
with music traveling the airwaves
listen to the music
and let the cares of tomorrow
wait
until the day is done.

Listen to the music
clap your hands
stomp your feet
drop your worries into the well
dance to the beat.

Free the music
release the music
from its isolated plastic closet
refresh the air
Free the Music
and let the worries of tomorrow wait until the music fades away.
~Bernie
