“I hear the wind rustling through the trees…”

I walk the trail back to its origins / towards the slow pulse of life / flowing within contorted trunks / honey-colored limbs scarred by lightning

Don’t fret about terms, / she croons. / Just watch the squirrels

Hear, O Israel / the prayer was dance / Adonai Eloheinu / there were no pews

The toy Solar System / gets the revolutions right / but a true scale model / would take up half of town / .

“The stone, once mud  at the bottom of the ocean / pressed into rock by time, / will outlast me.”

Words to inspire the act of going into nature and finding a rock for sitting.

“You are / the most faithful of flora…”

“I touch the rough bark of a tree and it speaks, but only / in leaves and branches…”

“These seeds will fly without help…”
