Hiatus
Oh, these vast, calm, measureless mountain days,
inciting at once to work and rest!
Days in whose light everything seems equally divine,
opening a thousand windows to show us God.
Nevermore, however weary, should one faint by the way
who gains the blessings of one mountain day;
whatever his fate,
long life, short life, stormy or calm, he is rich forever.

The poem is immensely soothing, and the picture - a place to lose oneself. I hope you are restful during your hiatus.
What a very beautiful poem. Thank you, Endment.
Selfishly I hope that you don't stay away too long. But I also sympathise. Blogger can be endlessly frustrating ....
Rest, restore... and I hope you'll be back before too long. You'll be missed.
Endment, the photo is beautiful beyond words, and I love photos taken at this time of day. Muir's poem is just perfect with your photo, and as I look and read, I find myself drifting serenely along with both image and words.
I'll miss you, as I have lately!
Blogger is frustrating and a killjoy lately.
Enjoy your time away!
Oh, how I'll miss you! Rest, relax, rejuvenate, rejoice.
In the meantime, you have left us with a very beautiful photograph. Thank you for that. ;) I'm looking forward to your return.
I'll be waiting for you!!!!
Everytime Blogger has problems, I remind myself never complain about the price of my $90 Typepad site. But hopefully Blogger gets thier act together real soon.
Take a well deserved break, but come back soon, pretty please. I always enjoy visiting. Is Blogger being a butthead?
Hi Endment,
Taking a break is so important. I hope you enjoy some quiet, focused, fun time. Sheesh. What did we used to stress about before blogging started? I will miss your posts.
Lovely poem Endment!
I truly enjoy reading poems on your blog and looking at the fresh pictures you post!
best wishes!
Beautiful words and stunning photo. Have fun see you when you get back!
I hope you have a wonderful time-out, Endment. May it be full of stories to share you return. :)
hope you have better luck than i! still can't load images. i am sick of blogger!
I've been having problems with blogger too. It can be frustrating, and a blogging hiatus can make all the difference :)
I love the quality of light in this photo.
Hope you're enjoying those lovely sunsets. Fall is my favorite time of year. Thinking of you ...
Okay, enough resting! We miss you!
I'm with Susan! All the same, I hope you are enjoying your break.
Hope you're enjoying your break. I look forward to finding you here (or in some Blogger-free zone) when you are ready.
My path has had several puddles since the beginning of September... Hope you are doing OK too. :-)

Endment, I hope all is well.
I hope you are better. You have a LOT of blogs to catch up on!
Hugs!
I was happy to see your smile pop over to counting petals the other day, Endment. I hope your time away was full of magic.
Endment, I have, oh maybe 6 blogs I visit and yours is one of them and I have to say I have missed missed missed your blog posts, even though I don't often comment. I hope you are having a wonderful relaxing and light-filled break, and that you come back soon! I think blogger is working out the kinks of the new beta. at least my beta blogs seem to be working a little better, though I have to admit i haven't taken the time to re-tweak the layouts so they look good, especially Raven's Nest. (note to self: must tweak blog. heheh)
your poetry and photos are always so inspiring. I wish you well in your hiatus. love to you.
