my tracks

finally caught up

with yours today fred

yours fascinate

subtle original footprints

conveying

your deep connection

with present and past

revealing the continuity

of your quiet awareness

as you live the trail

this is my favorite

of your writing so far

you just keep

getting better

Thank you for reading and the kind words. I wasn't sure how this one would come out when I started writing it. It just sort of happened.

methinks you are onto something here, fred

this natural approach "it sort of happened"

is revealing your true voice

you have been trying very hard

to write well

and yes you have

but the trying itself

is getting in the way

of your natural expression

your writing is literally natural

because you are so in touch with nature

which makes your quiet words

quite moving and beautiful
