Aphorisms: The Nature of Things; 8:14

8. Men who find solace in nature and men who never laid down with her 
Feel the world differently. They yield or take.

9. The birds are talking. Put your phone down. 

10. When e. e. Cummings wrote “…ask me the name of the moon in the man,” he meant, oh, so many things. “…ask me the name of the mountain in the man.”

11. Abandoned: A musky Den. The tractor came, mice scurried, and fox fled or went after them.

12. What does one say to a tree?

13. The creek is uncountable and so are the days, here in the high meadows.

14. Yes, cloud bursting is a sport. Hawks do it all the time.
