Jorinda and
Joringel. reading of the happily betrothed couple in Grimms' fairy tales makes me wonder if any of my ancestors might have been so simply in love, long ago before electricity had been harnessed and it was oh so easy to go to bed with the sun. |
it must have been quieter then. now days are routinely shredded by the sounds of engines, people driving towards goals and tasks while radios spew platitudes about love. |

i see this true love couple--there must be at least one in every family tree--standing in the sun, between the forest and field, growth all around them, faces upturned. and not a sound. |
