#NewThisDay Writing From My Photo Stream
Map of Tiny Mysteries
Gratitude is more than a practice
it's so many directions to choose
walking every rocky narrow path
among swamp frozen lifeless and
wildflowered meadow or prickered
thicket woods in all the tiny miseries
of everyweather -
It's following instead a trail of tiny
mysteries into mind numbing confusion
caused by every one unlabeled tree among
such a towering crowd of generous
all the evergreen and hardwood
you hope to praise by name
Who is dreary on such a festive winter river?
With gratitude, this morning, I hear from a fan and I'm so touched that my photos make a difference in anyone's day.
“All of your images tell me you live
in a beautiful, natural place, full of
nature’s best to offer. And you have
the ability to see it and share with
others. Thank you.”
