(Almost) Due West: NPR---a matter of perspective

NPR---a matter of perspective

Have I mentioned before just how many people from Wyoming, and Laramie, call in to NPR?

I’m sure, back in Northern VA, listening to NPR and hearing people call in from Wyoming probably pinged against some synapse, but never really registered.

Now, it seems, that at least once a day, someone, somewhere in Wyoming is calling in to Morning Edition, Talk of the Nation, Science Friday, The BBC News Hour, etc.

Goes to show that it’s all just a matter of perspective…our own individual perspective that is!

WYOMING

The world started to run
With the turning of the sun.
Cities rose from towns
And quiet turned to sound.
That place stayed the same;
That’s Wyoming.

So, the legends say
That explorers tried to explain-
But the beauty that they found
Was too much to write down.
So, in fiction,
They believed to be Wyoming.

Where the clearest sunny days
Quickly turn to rain
But we don’t mind,
Because all of the sweetest smells remains.

I know Adam’s never seen such a scene
(In neither Eden or his dream).
Even Eve would stop to stare
At God’s most perfect square.
That’s one thing I believe;
He made Wyoming.

Where the clearest sunny days
Quickly turn to rain
But we don’t mind,
Because all of the sweetest smells remains.

All the years hang on the wind
Above this last good plot of land.
I hear it echo in the trees.
I hear its whisper on my knees.
Even Dust can be a king
In Wyoming.

Yes, even Dust can be a King,
In Wyoming.
