"voices" wild geese overhead primeval voices singing the sky has echoes beseeching the wind far above the prairie grass silent swift shadows [This message has been edited by coyote (edited 03-31-2001).] |

Excellent! They're addictive, aren't they? To love another person is to see the face of God. |

Silent swift shadows...This brought to me the memory of an enormous owl that lived near my home as a kid. One night as i stood watching the last of a sunset with my younger brother, this owl tried to snatch the hat from my head. I could not figure out what happened until i saw his silhouette just above the trees. Thanks for stirring the memory. One's not half two it's two are halves of one EE Cummings |

Thanks again, Red Feather. I love the geese, they are so intelligent. Your anecdote about the owl, reminds me of the time an acquaintance thought he would photograph some baby owls in their nest. The mother swooped down as he was leaning over the cliff to get the picture, and sunk her talons into his back!! Ouch!!! Thanks again for reading and contributing. "I hate quotes, they suck!" |

These are both beautiful. I enjoyed them both but the one about geese is my favorite. We have lots of geese that fly over our part of the country and several years a pair has nested in the wetlands area at the back of our yard. I like to hear them even when they aren't honking or calling. They sort of mutter when they're contented. Betty Lou Hebert |

Thanks, Betty Lou. We live very close to the river here, and take walks along its banks. In the early morning you can always hear geese. And of course coyotes. lol "I hate quotes, they suck!" |

I never thought of it that way, Karilea. Although they beseech the wind, the true source of power for this recurring journey, is their eternal love for one another. Very enlightening, Thanks! "I hate quotes, they suck!" |
