Poem: The Letter by John Timothy Robinson

11/15/2017

The Letter

By John Timothy Robinson
QuailBellMagazine.com

There is a rune on a rock I found just off the old road, past black sand-stones through briars and pine, beyond the single, gray locust post that stands at the top of a gully. When I found it, I told my uncle and he grinned and laughed and asked if I found anything else.

No buried silver dollars in a Mason jar, no Templar relics there. He said it was probably uncle Jim. He had a habit of carving things in stone when he was younger. Knowing there was nothing buried there, I scraped off the lung lichen and took a few photos. With tracing paper over its surface, I began to carefully scribble over the layer. In this charcoal frottage, a crude form of the letter “R” took shape, engraved in that arced, triangular form of rock, like a church window or a compass bowed at each side. For a moment, I looked it over, tried to see the logic of the thing, then shook my head and walked away.

How to Setup Solar

Step 1. Create a Homepage

Even if you already have a home page, you'll need to create a new one since Solar needs a blank page to automatically pull and display your blog posts in the magazine layout. You can create a new homepage by going to "Pages" at the top, click on the "+" icon and select "Standard" page.

Step 2. Apply "solar" Page Layout

Once you create a new homepage, apply the "solar" page layout to the new homepage. You can do this by clicking on "Pages" at the top, select the homepage on the left, and under "HEADER TYPE", select "solar".

Step 3. Create A Blog

If your site doesn't have a Weebly "Blog" page, then create a new "Blog" page. You can do this by clicking on "Pages" at the top, click on the "+" icon and select "Blog Page".

Step 4. Setup Blog Automation

Come back to this screen and fill in the input boxes with the URL of your "Blog" page and 3 category URLs from that blog.
