the great mystery
of the cosmos was revealed
to me in a dream–
it’s gone now, but i recall
that i couldn’t stop laughing

they say that the canada jays
are true to canadian ways:
they have fluffy feathers
for very cold weather
and nest in the coldest of days

the lone eagle
a top predator,
he’s at the top of his game
in the top of a tree–
yet ‘the top’ is not for all;
i hear that it’s lonely there

ghostly auroras–
long fingers of light fumbling

sunday thoughts 12/3/23
i don’t go to a man-made church;
the ever-changing sky is my temple.
it has no doors, no roof, no book.
you’ll find no labels or shame here,
only profound awe and wonder,
and an overwhelming reverence
for the beauty and grandeur
of the living sky.

if you watch your mate
like a hawk, you may see them
fly away some day

No Time For Rhyme
I have to take off on a 7 hour road trip shortly, so I don’t have the time for a decent post, but I wanted to show you how fast the Lake of the Woods froze over. I posted a shot of it a couple days ago with maybe 20 yards of ice along the shore; I took this shot later that same day! Completely frozen over!
I see more warm weather in our forecast for next week, so maybe it will open back up. Anyway, gotta go; I’m bringing my camera, so maybe I’ll have something other than ice to post.

fiery old folks (shadorma)
we old folks
live from day to day,
determined
not to die–
tho the sun has slipped away,
there’s fire in the sky

Shot of the Day 11/28/23
I’m standing out here in the bitter cold wind on the shore of Lake of the Woods, and the lake is freezing over as I watch. The ice has spread out another 10 feet or so since I got here; it won’t be long now till all 1,700 square miles of the lake will disappear under ice.
and now, before my very eyes,
the lake begins to crystallize;
it spreads so fast, i must surmise
the fish are in for a surprise
