FROM THE FOREST
Every Spring we have the pleasure of the company of a returning mother wren to a nest cuddled in our lamp post. We watch the amazing cycle of building, laying eggs, sitting, birthing, teaching and leaving that humbles us and minimizes our life concerns. Last year, while walking in the forest we stumbled upon a wild turkey nest with fourteen eggs surrounded by leaves. A week later the eggs had hatched and the life force had moved on. Most of my work is about this process...sometimes about the new forest life that appears after a flood or fire or other natural disaster, giving a signal of rebirth and new opportunity.
Mottled brown leaves, moist with dew
you guard and do not flee
the alabaster white rounds
placed from your body.
Hatchlings of wildness
free for the forest.
