There was a tree
Then another that became three
And twice that many again
Until it opened up the land.
The smells came through
The windows and the roof
At speed I went along
To some hip Clapton song.
Which brought this
All together for me
The smells of summer
And of northern pine trees.
Of Shasta standing grand
Her shape becoming my home again.
And of tears I shed
For miles on end
The thought of which
Made me glad agin.

Well, not bad, Michael!

I'm grabbing my hat and coat
I'm leaving the cat a note
Quick call me a ferry boat-getting out of town!

its not the destination...
but the roads traveled to get there ...

whats that old saying ...
"home is where you left your heart"
but "they" also say ...
"home is where you lay your hat"

but then, I dont wear hats ...

more beautiful ponderings Michael,
gentle, tender emotions...
later,
