He weaves a most delightful tapestry
of words that transform to pictures
soulful seasons, picturesque landscapes
all of natures nurturing scriptures
a colourful tale he weaves
on a backdrop of pages blue
nature at her most delightful
written to be enjoyed by me & you
~~~

Love is the life of the soul...
It is the harmony of the universe
                        — W. E. Channing

a 'Universalist' !

WOW! ... thank you! (I'm most humbly honored and touched!)

I simply try to give fine 'voice' to Gaia (Nature)/environmental stewardship;
tolerance for (and celebration of) human (and bio) diversity; and 'universalism'
[the infinitely nested 'connectedness' of everyone and everything across all
(size) scales of existence.] The 'past' is irrevocable; the 'future' as yet powerless
to be born, we have only the grand-scintillating 'now' of infinite positive potential
in which to 'paint the world' in bright-delicious colors; and, I believe 'words' are the
most precious and lasting source of true 'magic' we have in our 'Earth-suit' span on
this fragile, life-ship planet.

... lastly, I would also like to repeat that 'expansion' of the Channing quote:

Love is the melody of the heart,
   the harmony of the spirit ...
      and the song of the universe!

I couldn't agree more, Tracie. Bruce has always been one of my favorite poets on PIP.
A gentleman and a scholar, you might say.
