(and now for something completely different...)
I composed the following poem and took the pictures at Bruce Peninsula National Park near Tobermory, this past August. I was inspired by my solitary walk around Cyprus Lake.
We share a language.
The inflection of ripple against rocky shore,
nuance of a loon's morning cry
the conversation of creek over waterfall.
There is symmetry to our entwining
like cedars
straight, yet rooted

There is symmetry to our entwining
like cedars
straight, yet rooted
solidly in pliant earth.
Resilient.
Rocky outcrops
form footholds
as we scale
form footholds
as we scale
and soar.
We are blessed in this union
by the idylls of the bees
and the pinch of blackfly against skin.
Movement.

Beautiful pics and lovely poem!
you are a word whisperer camlin ... thanks for taking me along.
Yeah. What Reef said.
Wow.
I crawled out of my stupor this morning and realized that I haven't responded to any of the comments on this post.
Sometimes a general thank you just doesn't feel like enough. But, thank you. It feels good to know that people are reading.
The place inspired me, and I so want to go back before it gets too cold - by my estimates I have about three weeks...so it may not happen.
Reef...I've missed you. Glad you're back. And Solo, I've missed you too - I know you're very busy, so thanks for dropping by. I hope your project turns out to be everything you've hoped for and more.
Emotionally I'm doing very well indeed, things feel really good - but,at the moment I'm dealing with the anemia again, and a new job, and Emily's first day of school....however, a new post won't be too far away.
