origins

…I have sipped pure water from underground streams,    

   flowing through fractured sandstone beds

…embraced iron – dark barks arrayed upon stony slopes

…listened early and late to Whistler and Pitta

…heard the Barred Frog call late into rainy nights

…tracked hidden mycorrhizal paths beneath living leaf litter

…eaten sour bitter  sweet in forest and garden

…witnessed ripples in the rocky landforms of place

…walked with Dittersdorf’s basses and cellos in darkness

…learned Arthur and Waldo’s story

…viewed W C W’s  The Figure Five In Gold

…touched sculpted celestial beings in stone temples

…and thrilled to the touch of the Goddess’s smile
