heavenly light shine
when i was
lost at sea.
was it truly light divine?
well, it was for me.

There is much to be said about the benefits of a walk in the woods. It can change the way we feel, improve our health, and lifts our spirits. In fact, there’s so much I could say about it, I’m going to cut right through to the heart of the matter with a succinct quote about it by Henry David Thoreau:
“I took a walk in the woods and came out taller than the trees.”

According to the Bible, Jesus said, “I am in the Father, and the Father is in me.”
Two thousand years later, Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson said, “I am in the universe, and the universe is in me.”
Are we missing something here?

in the crosshairs of my camera,
the fawn seemed to pose for the shot,
but then, like a silly young girl,
she stuck out her tongue and ran off

our souls are like barns–
the more weathered they become,
the more beautiful

the deer has his head held down low
so i’m wondering, a buck or a doe?
well, as i draw near,
it’s becoming quite clear–
he’s a buck, and he wants all to know

half dog, half cat
with a smidgen of rat
he’s hard to find
and photograph
we list his crimes
in nursery rhymes
from sour grapes
to fox in sox
he makes us laugh–
that sly ol’ fox
I’m reminded of that riddle of the goose, the fox, and the corn, and in case you haven’t heard it, it goes like this: a farmer has to get a goose, a fox, and a sack of corn across a river, but his boat is so small, he can only transport one at a time. Without leaving the fox alone with the goose, or the goose alone with the corn, how does he do it?
