The Walk

2008.11.28
I'll lie here and learn How, over their ground,
Trees make a long shadow And a light sound.
—Louise Bogan

I like trees because they seem more resigned to the way they have to live than other things do. ~Willa Cather

"... each turn in the road reveals a surprise. "

Only when the last tree has died and the last river been poisoned and the last fish been caught will we realise we cannot eat money.
~Cree Indian Proverb

Every Thanksgiving Day we take a long walk in the woods. Sometimes it's been relatively warm, occasionally rains or snows, and often cold. Dinner without the walk is not a possibility—I'd sooner forgo the dinner.

Yesterday the sun lit up the woods —

“Prayers go up and blessings come down”

Yiddish Proverb

camilleauteuil how can you live with these thoughts and this mentality ? every time I say words of this kind, people treat me as "poet", "dreamer", "maladjusted person", "a bit crasy" ...
