BLACK BEAR, Doug-fir 'spring scratch snag' III.30.09 . . .
On the road in the American Northwest. [ click photo for next . . . ]
When strings at rest reflect
in sympathetic resonance
other sounds near them,
we hear the birth
of Love & Compassion
in the physical world.
THREE HIGH-COUNTRY POEMS FROM On Paths . . .
THE BOTANICAL GARDENS
The Botanical Gardens
(1)
How nice: There’s Gentian!
And Anenome. Old friends—
on paid vacation.
(2)
After a while, I’ve noticed
that I tend to read the signs first.
PILGRIMS
Not
yet
far
from
home
the
full
bus
drives
straight
across
the spring
with healing waters
without
a
name.
THE SPRING
The cowherd pointed
on the map and said,
“If you can find it,
you must visit this spring.
The water there is very mysterious.”
“Years ago, they wanted to sell it,
but it burst the bottles—
every time.”
