LOST
~~~~~~~~~
Stand still. The trees ahead and bushes beside you
Are not lost. Wherever you are is called Here,
And you must treat it as a powerful stranger,
Must ask permission to know it and be known.
The forest breathes. Listen. It answers,
I have made this place around you.
If you leave it, you may come back again, saying Here.
No two trees are the same to Raven.
No two branches are the same to Wren.
If what a tree or a bush does is lost on you,
You are surely lost. Stand still. The forest knows
Where you are. You must let it find you.
(David Wagoner @ 1976)
Welcome all! My name is Jeannette and I have the wonderful good fortune to live in a little slice of woodland paradise. My portion of the aspen/oak/maple forest borders a small river and several hundred acres of untouched forest. I hope to share some of the pleasure and mystery of this part of space/time with you on these pages. Some of it is visual, some a bit of my mental musings and growth as I pay attention to the natural world around me and continue to learn from the people I know. Pay attention, as I do, to what you perceive with your inner vision and those fleeting glimpses of mysteries.
