A Stroll with the Sun

Great Brook Farm State Park, Massachusetts

The time when snow imbues the woods
      and the flurry of crystals billows around my boots,
 
  but not this time,

  still...

  It is winter and I am HERE,
    amidst the brown shades, glowing beech leaves, brightly colored mosses,
   and the low Sun, always close, like a friend,
       with the shadows that come along to enrich... 

Leaves Everywhere

Fells Reservation, Massachusetts

... on the ground... up in the air... curling, coloring, vibrating... damming streams... at the bottom of ponds...
   ... rustling under my boots...

Just keep Dancing

Fresh Pond, Cambridge, Massachusetts

Today is the last Day of this Year. We Humans like to live by the Calendar. It brings the structure to our lives. And then there are Days. The Days we celebrate. Or Not... Watching this Leaf in the Air. Holding onto the spider-web thread. Dancing with the Wind... Which Day is It?.. Just keep Dancing...
