A Walk In Moist Woods

The pensiveness of the sky is broken by the cry of a crow, by trees distilling intimacy and moist, vibrant expectancy. Violets, ferns, and birches share life-giving vapors. The chalk-bleak horizon and pungent, poignant odors whisper sonorous secrets. The visitor is enveloped in this pithy, soulful world, all cells saturated with a suggestive sustenance.

I think I prefer the title in your book 'A Woodland Walk'. Either way, I particularly love the 'pensiveness of the sky'. I've felt this in early spring ~ beautifully penned, Carol.

Thank you, Paul. I like the challenge of trying to create an "immersion" type of experience for the reader. Carol
