[url=http://www.forestwander.com/2009/01/sunshine-fog-trees-1/]  [/urlor close of a day spent we feel an excitement matters not, matters not we are but passersby we're here for an instant we're gone eternity if we think upon thought and let it die slow death we rob thought of substance we walk though forest road a sense of quiet takes hold what used to make us sad we pause on our journey find a gnarled cypress tree we sit upon its roots listen to nature's song don't know how we got here don't know how long we'll stay we enjoy the moment as we empty our mind of what we used to think about sincerity pettiness put aside we breathe in earth's perfume listen to nature's voice the beauty surrounds us mists from slow-moving creek the aroma of pine where salamanders dig do we believe in God at times such as this; yes ~ Clones are people two ~ |

When people get in the way, the best detour to God is through nature. This was nice, kind of felt like I was walking with you. Lori |

many years ago in MO..there was a road like this that seemed to be the highway to heaven...in reality it was the road to the old quarry which had become the city disposal site..has always been an ironic place to me..cool stuff jp |
