what do you really want? I stared at my husband. He is way too good to me. Maybe a cabin in the woods? Like Thoreau’s cabin? Exactly! Let’s build it! So we did.

These words Stream-of-consciousness-soup really Rarely chosen with care Falling on thirsty ground A lost soul trying to find "the great forgotten language" * For "the unspeakable and incommunicable prison of this earth." * Uh-huh, I see you pointing To the "lost lane-end into heaven" * And the shepherd standing there So, I tried to be a sheep, to babble things I didn't know I found...

None of this stuff is electronic the child said. Shaking a seashell upside down next to his head. His mother is astounded that he does not understand the outside. Yet she has taken no time to show him how to enjoy ocean’s tide. She has not shown him trees or pointed out the beauty of the sky. It is not...

Thoreau Through and Through Breathe and observe, duet sitting on a beach, Or a Walden Pond, attend details' breach, Ripples, waves, light glinting off splashes, Warm sun crust, rays streaking striped sashes, Surge after surge wash over and under, Awareness catches subtle and quiet thunder, Surface Cat's Paws emerge by breeze breath, Wash lapping waves upon lack of depth, Closed eyes hear resounds of...

Nature excels; man rebels - indeed, indeed, I cannot tell: One sees a dell darken, then harkens the inward morning; One seeks inspiration to bargain jargon all cities sell. First spring then summer done, I am the autumnal sun, Bright so no trees choke over man’s smoke-rendered shroud. My life has been the...

Deep in these woods quest solitude, Invite the heart and mind to stay; See fare and food in attitude, Choice learns to start a better way. Engage spirit as body finds, Reach to contact a deeper whole; Niche zest and wit with peace of mind. Thrill your own pact as truth makes whole, Heed stillness here as silence treats, Observe the feel of tensile...
